A Liverpool fan I work with had absolutely no idea that we had an era of winning trophies in the late 60’s / early 70’s. He thought that the current era was the first time we have won things
And he wasn’t taking the piss as he’s not like that, he just genuinely didn’t know
Liverpool fan? Work?A Liverpool fan in work said the same thing to me. He said that City were a yo-yo club through our entire history. I told him that only Everton, Liverpool, United, Villa, and Arsenal have spent more time combined in the top flight league than City. United have only spent 4 years more combined than City in the top flight. If not for our late 1990s relegation craziness, then City would still to this day have been in more top flight seasons than United.
United spent nearly exactly half their pre world war II existence in the second tier of football. That's a fact that they don't talk about.
City spent most of their time pre world war II finishing above United. (City = 28 United = 15)
Liverpool spent a decade following world war II in the second tier, and only escaped after getting their own sugar daddy, again something that their fans don't like talking about.
City won the FA Cup 4 years before United and 61 years before Liverpool.
City won the League Cup 22 years before United and 4 years before Liverpool.
City were the 4th English team (Spurs-> West Ham -> United -> City) to win a European trophy via a UEFA tournament 3 years before Liverpool won a UEFA tournament
Rival fans who pretend that City were a Wycombe style rising, just don't know what the hell they're talking about. They're pathetic and jealous. They think that it hold themselves up as being great by trying to tear others down, ignoring the fact that they usually use incorrect information, or are straight up knowingly lying about what they're saying.
Fuck them.
Liverpool fan? Work?
Nah.
Some of the financial guru's on here will correct if i am wrong, i believe we have averaged approx 90m a year over the last 5 years from the CL. A rigged system with seedings and coefficients designed to stop the non G16 from muscling in. unfortunately for them we have. Hoisted by their own petardWe've qualified for the CL 13 years running, no other English club has done that.
So to do that means we've finished in the Top 4 in all those years.
That adds up to a lot of money every season, but to the red top fans, generating income like that is not doing it the "right way" apparently!
Its amazing how schooled they are on our history or supposed lack there of compared to how little they know of their own, they have been brainwashed into believing that they have been succesful for the whole history of british football and the reality that the idea that they are special is nothing more than good marketing shocks themA Liverpool fan I work with had absolutely no idea that we had an era of winning trophies in the late 60’s / early 70’s.

D’oh. Corrected.Timbobs, but funny nonetheless.

The old ones are the good ones.Hooker: Fancy a blow job?
Scouser: Will it effect me dole?
Those facts should be posted/engraved all around the stadium.
Don't forget that the Moores family who owned Littlewoods also ran Everton as well as Liverpool. No claims of corruption aimed at them though.A Liverpool fan in work said the same thing to me.
