[Alex]

Think we will finish 5th/6th, have a strong finish to the season but a terrible start. Top 4 should not be the priority this season, but building a strong base for an all out assault next year.

I have a really vague memory of the league win in 1990. But that's only of my cousins going mental. Sad though isn't it.

[Darkon]

Podolski wasn't free

I actually meant on the cheap

I'd still take us from that list

[Norbs]

I have a really vague memory of the league win in 1990. But that's only of my cousins going mental. Sad though isn't it.

I remember Hillsborough and Michael Thomas from that era. As a kid then teenager the league wins were taken for granted, the FA Cup finals and European wins are the things that stick in my mind. I remember watching one f the European Cup wins in a guest house in Westgate-on-sea. I had to fight to get them to put it on as there was only one tv for the whole guest house (about 25 guests). I honestly couldn't say if it was 1981 or 1984 though, it could've even been 77 or 78 but I don't think it was.

[BobTheCharmer]

So if most peoples expectations are 5th place, I have to wonder why we bothered to sack Kenny, a gain of 3 places?

Surely if we are effectively canning all cup competitions, the aim has to be to do better than 5th?

Ah but its all about the system and the 150 page manual right.

I think we'll get 4th place for the record.

Liverpool = PL Champions
Everything else doesn't matter then!
