without financial backing.
This is not true. A few years back they were on the verge of bankrupcy but their new owners came in and bought the debt off.
Now too me this is buying the league. Without this they would not have bought Suarez, Henderson etc.
I am not taking anything away from them this season and if they win it well done, Suarez has been amazing.....(jealous.....)
But please do not say that they have shown Man C and Chelsea how its done.
To me only 2 clubs can boast this and thats us and Man U.
Well done to Everton as well. Amazing feet to get into the Top 4 with limited money. Hope you fail though...
Why do people say Liverpool will win

The way H&G treated LFC was a disgrace (so much so I joined Spirit of Shankly) so when FSG came in I think most would agree that this was to the benefit of the PL as a whole and not just LFC.

side point, we were bankrupt but it wasn't from trying to 'buy the league'
It was from H&G's high interest loans that were put on the clubs' debt to buy the club in the first place.

I'm not against Liverpool THE TEAM winning it. But if they did, Liverpool THE FANBASE would be unbearable. Nine years later they're still going on about their Champions League win.
But on the other hand, their winning it would finally wake up Wenger from his delusions. After all, he's convinced himself that the only reason he's not succeeding is because of those naughty men with lots of oil money.
Liverpool winning it with less resources than us would shake him to the core.

Trust me, if Arsenal ever went on to win the Champions League your fans would be taking about it 10 years later too.
Don't your fans still talk about "the Invincibles"? That was over 10 years ago.

you have an invincibles 'gold trophy' and we own a 'real big ears'
both were from a decade ago, we've both done not much since, and we both talk about those trophies fairly often still because they're huge acheivements most watched happen.

Arsenal are a credit to football, 109 years of never buying a single player.

slight tangent
what's your take on cloned players?
clubs would buy and sell dna
3rd party ownership would be a bit of a mess though
