Is that season when we won f*ck all and Utd won the league again. Or maybe I'm confusing with all other similar seasons of late.
I don't rate success as one of wins in the league. I rate success as the number of trophies won.
And recently our record ain't very impressive. Sticking up 5 fingers now just looks pathetic.
I did like Carra's comment at half time though.

Oh fucking forget it.
Are you pointing out to me, ever so instructively, that Liverpool haven't competed for trophies on the same level as the title winning teams over the last two decades? Thanks. You could be a sports journalist. Or a shit commentator. Cut to Rush in the crowd, what's your tedious musing about what he's thinking watching our current state of affairs?
Sticking up 5 fingers wasn't pathetic by Carragher, it's showing a bit of fucking fight when feeling completely humiliated. Carragher knows more than anyone else we've got nothing to brag about at present. There have been things to brag about over the last few years though, and massive reasons to be optimistic. Yes, it is very shit now. My point is, so fucking what, that's hardly a new development. We've been vacillating between mediocre and not quite good enough for a long while now, punctuated by massive success, and in so doing have at the very least kept up with the growth of the league. If not for a shit economy, and a couple of unprofessional cunts with an unhealthy appetite for risk, we'd have consolidated our position even further, even if we didn't reach the summit.
There's a lot of uncertainty and awful press surrounding the club right now, and morale is at it's nadir, but what is the point of saying "these days we have to rely on history", when that's been the case for a fucking long time now. Did this just occur to you? Opposition fans have been making that point for years. And to act as if there's been nothing to crow about? Perhaps Champions League 2005 posters will shortly look as sadly irrelevant as the treble flag my dad put in my room when I was 2, but at least I have a memory of the former.
