If Barca hadn’t been the best club side of all time in just the wrong period for us, Fergie would have had 4 CLs to his name.

Comfortably the best manager for a very, very long time.

Agreed. Quite probably there will never be another like him.

Getting to the final certainly doesn't mean you'd have won it. If John Terry hadn't slipped, Fergie would only have ONE CL.

It's all ifs ...

Scouse facts that you and Sye trot out.

You really are clutching at straws. He was a sensational manager, which is becoming very evident now. he left us winning the league with an incredibly average team. In Europe, he won the CL twice and lost in two finals to the then, best team in the world.

I have a better one for you Alpine

0 - None of Romelu Lukaku's 12 Premier League goals this season have come against teams currently in the top eight. In games vs top eight sides, he's played 900 minutes and attempted 17 shots without scoring.

The whole money thing becomes a non issues these days when players are going for over £100 million. Pogba was £90m on his own, and is that JM’s fault?

LvG brought some dross, and played some shocking football. Glad we have moved on to JM.

as interesting as the back of a refrigerator.....

DiMaria's GF seems to know more about football than Sir park a bus alot.

Looks like a raw nerve has been touched there.

Here’s another few stats

Trophies won by Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool - 0
Trophies won by Liverpool since 2006 - 1

Nobody gives a fk if a player hasn’t scored a goal with the ball touching his left foot after a header from a player under the age of 24 born north of the Watford Gap who has a surname containing the letters E, G and S. You can keep your FSG stats, well just measure success in silverware. If we don’t win any, it’s been a poor season, if we do, then it’s been successful. Simple as that.

See, if you were really on the ball, you'd have pointed out that lukaku has not had a single shot on target against the top 6 teams this season.

And she clearly knows a lot more about football than you. Oh, and at least he has a girlfriend ....

I reckon he's like Kane - one season wonder and then had a few years of good luck after,

And who gives a st if the fans have actually enjoyed themselves in the process, right?!

At least you're realistic that you'll always win fk all. But enjoy away.

They don't come much more enjoyable than this.

I guess that sums up the difference between Utd and Liverpool fans. We take enjoyment from the really exciting games we play, you guys take enjoyment from others making mistakes. Seems like you have the perfect manager for that mindset too.

[NRS]

It does say a lot - talking about making football enjoyable to watch and instead of posting highlights from your own team pick a few bad points from another team?

[anonymous-user]

It says a lot that Jammy has posted more in here this week than he has in the dippers thread

Yes, it says that Utd have had a game in the last week and Liverpool haven't.

I make no apology for loving when you guys cry because you can't win trophies. It's glorious.

It sums it up that you've now become the spuds of the North. You know you can't win silver trophies, so you rely on clutching at the odd straw trophy. Marvellous, and long may it continue.

Bit like you becoming Liverpool. Falling down from the past highs and needing to big up a few trophies here and there as glory days are behind you and the club is slowly sliding away with time.
