I've never looked mate, I'm just passing on what he said but if it's that good then they surely wouldn't have gone 11 years without winning anything. -

Then again a similar comment about quality could be said about Liverpool over the past 25 years. If many of the managers and players who often got called world class were so good then how come no league title has been won in 25 years (am including this season)
The answer is quite simple though both for us and Arsenal, and it is that despite them and us having a number of good teams and managers over the years (well one manager for quite a long time in their case) there simply were teams with a mixture of better teams, better managers and more resources going for the same silverware.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

In terms of ourselves, whenever we were in a position of strength, we weakened ourselves for a number of different reasons. Most annoying was being the number one ranked team in Europe. From that position we could attract any player we wanted in reason. We were let down by having the rug pulled from under us.Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View PostForwards.......Comment

Ok, discounting the charity shield in 2005 (or thereabouts) it was 10 years not 11.Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View Post
I'm not entirely sure a year makes a huge material difference in this context TBH.Comment

The highest we have been ranked in recent years was 2nd and that was for the 2004/5 season. It was therefore based on the seasons before Rafael arrived.
Sorry to piss of the bonfire with facts but I'm a little ****ing board of reading Rafael name every 3 minutes.

The benefit of an Internet message forum is that, you know, its on the Internet.
Which is an excellent resource for quick fact checking.
edit: I will concede I got my time when we were second wrong. But the point remains we have not been ranked 1Football without Origi is nothingComment
