    Premiership or Champions League???

    There has been a lot of talk from inside the club that Liverpool will try to sign the players that will enable us to mount a serious title challenge next season. I was just wondering what would be more important to the fans - winning the CL or the Prem.

    Obviously we all want to win the Premiership because of a few reasons - firstly because it has been too long Liverpool not to have been the CHAMPIONS of england. Also, the likes of SG and JC have won every trophy bar the Premiership at this stage.

    However, a lot of people regard Milan as the best team in Italy right now - based purely on the fact that they have got through to the final of the champions league for the 2nd time in 3 seasons. Their recent european record has been very impressive - indeed they are the only team to reach the last 8 in the last 3 seasons. Also, real madrid have won **** all in the past couple of seasons - but they are still regarded as one of the greatest teams in europe because of their european history - 9 european cups!!! Can anybody tell me (without looking up google) how many spanish leagues they have??? Barcelona are regarded as a great team but also as a club that have underachieved because they only have 2 european cups to their name. Are man united regarded in the same way across europe???

    I expect a lot of people to say that they would prefer the premiership because they want to stop the rivals like manU, chelsea and arsenal winning more but as a worldwide (or european-wide) achievement, and in order for or club to get greater acclaim, I personally feel that winning more and more european cups would be more of an achievement.

    So I ask you this - in 5 or 6 years time, would you rather that liverpool had 18 league titles and 7 (or 8) european cups or would you prefer us to have 21 league titles and 5 (or 6 - hopefully come may 24th!!) european cups???









    Also, on another note - i see Slur Alex said last week that liverpool had the luxury of only concentrating on the CL this season and that is why we got into the final. In my view he'd wanna shut the fcuk up - he got to ONE final in 21 years as manager of the scum - the fact that rafa has got to 2 in 3 seasons must surely gawl him - and also highlights the fact that he is not as good a manager as he has been made out to be.

    Premier league is our bread and butter and Shanks' legacy. A team should be judged ultimately by what it does in it's league.

    Don't get me wrong, the CL is a fantastic competition, the most prestigious there is without a doubt, but nothing will please me more than the day we bring No. 19 home.

      I'd much rather focus on winning the Premiership than be in a position where we are forced to focus on winning the Champions League. If it was a straight choice - win either - I'd probably go for the Premiership because, whilst the Champions League is great, if Liverpool is to truly become the global force in football that it once was then we need to be dominating the domestic league.

          i think it is a hard one to choose to be honest - put it this way - ireckon chelsea or arsenal would swap one of their recent league titles for winning the cl - and i reckon fergie would give 2 or 3 of his

            If we can manage to consistently win both, then that would be great.

              If we hadn't won the league for so long and Utd weren't closing in on our record i'd go for the CL, but as they're closing in (16 to our 18) and we havent won it for 17 years i'd say the league. One good thing though is Utd are desperate for the CL and it will kill them if we win no.6 in Ancient Athens.

                  League, league & league each & every time.

                  CL is only won by losers these days, and I don't mean losers in any offensive way, I mean teams that don't or haven't won their own domestic league, we need to win a PL or 2 to balance out the anomaly.

                    i dont know about that - barcelona did the double!!!

                    i do get your point though - it is hard to win both. However - do you think that Juventus (before this season) were the best team in italy over the last 10 years???

                      I don't really care much about others, we can argue all day about CL entry etc, but I would love to win the PL and then go on to win the CL the following year as English champions, it has never been done yet, and would be a new benchmark, and hopefully retaining the PL along the way!

                        Prem for me at the moment, if we dont win it in the next 5 years the mancs will catch us, they already have more FA cups than us so they would be the most successful side domestically in England dont need that ****. LFC is all about Leagues.

                          I would love to win our league back (sorry, 'the Premiership') then the following season win the European Cup (sorry, 'the Champions League') so nobody could dispute we are still the top club in England and Europe...

                            ...is the correct answer.
