Liverpool under Benitez could win the title this year, and apart from the one or two players listed below they've built up their squad from the ground over the last few years. Why do we have to ruin football by spending money?

They havn`t won the premier league for how long?
Now could you put a list up of the 2 teams who have dominated it for the last 5 years?

I don't think there's enough space to put up their transfer lists. Funny how when City make a few signings we're wrecking football, but when this lot buy a new team every year it's just to put them back where they rightfully belong - and if you count them I think it shows Benitez has bought more than a new team each year.
 
Who cares if they win? Not me!
If its not city then i dont give a shit!
Buy it,Steal it I dont care as long as we get medals in my lifetime!
And my kids!
MCFC FOREVER!
 
Put in those terms, football was ruined a long time ago with the introduction of the Premier league.
Jack Walker, started the ball rolling, it's just that the Premier League has become such a big attraction to billionaires rather than millionaires. It's evolving, and City are right in the thick of it. Enjoy it while it lasts, it's not real life it's entertainment. Watch Stockport or Bury or non-league if you want to watch raw football, personally this is entertainment at it's best, and I haven't seen them kick a ball for 10 days.
