Jason MacAteer is a nodding dog. Thick as a brick. He'd agree with anything someone said, like the bloke on the Fast Show.

There is a story about him and a few other players going out for pizza, where he was asked by the waitress if he would like his cutting into 4 slices or 8.

He replied: "4 please, I don't think I could eat 8."

Not known for his brains.

The end of an "Era" ?

One title and it's an era?

I’d say so. We put our Wilf Wild and Joe Mercer years down as our great eras pre-takeover and they won one league title each.

Klopp has won one of every trophy other than the Europa League (and got to the final in that) and two other losing CL finals in his time at Liverpool. I think that’s a very good achievement and a good trophy haul while a team as good as City under Pep have been around.

They’ve also won things we haven’t managed to yet in that group of trophies.

I don’t think we should go down the road of our neighbours in belittling what other clubs achieve (I used to think United fans were terrible for that when they were at their peak Ferguson best) because it diminishes our own achievements when it’s in an era when we’re also winning stuff as it suggests the teams we’re winning over are nothing special so our achievements aren’t that great, plus it diminishes our historical stature when Klopp’s seven trophies is only five short of our trophy count in our first 117 years.

Certainly belittle them when they don’t achieve, but not about what they do achieve.

It's not really an era is it? They haven't dominated in fact they aren't even the 2nd most successful team of our era.

As for belittling Bingo and his journeymen? every single hour of every day until my body twitches and dies.
