hats what football is about, achieving things, accolades, trophies.

And these days you can only do that with money, which you haven't got and we've been building towards

I'm not overly impressed with our current situation. I was simply pointing out the flaw in your argument. I wasn't proclaiming our greatness.

Are you also now suggesting that winning the Carling Cup is not an achievement. I suspect that that may also turn out to be a fallacious argument

Why 7 years, why not 6, 3 or 20?

The fact you even have to pick a particular timeframe suggests that your just trying to delude yourself.


-----------------------

Because that when you last won a trophy. Its a perfectly reasonbale time frame. We can go 10 years if you want and we've still won more. Forget it lets just go 100 years, and we've won more then aswell.

You're onto a losing argument here mate. Arsenal will always be a smaller club than Liverpool. Even at our very worst, we are still a bigger club that you lot.

If that was the case why is Kenny not still at your club?

Would you like to put your money where your mouth is? I'll give you 10-1 against Arsenal always being a smaller club than Liverpool

I read it, your MD agrees with me. Guess you'll be waving some banners soon.

You would have to ask the owners that. It evidently didn't meet their standards, but to claim that it is not an achievement is rather futile.

Didn't you care about losing in the final last season? Doesn't even a tiny part of you wish you had won it?

No, I wish we'd have played our youth in it.

No again you are missing the point, our MD want league success and trophy's, I can't help you if you can't see that, you sound like a child.

Every MD wants league success and trophies, it's just your quite a way behind us in being able to achieve that, in fact it's feasible you might not catch us at all, after all we're now the second richest club in England and 4th richest in the world

and still can't win a thing!

Do you not see the irony in your statement?

comment by Vito (U4098)

we haven't been winning things because we've been working towards that

do you not see the futility in your statement?

Why would you rather play the kids? I'll presume you're just talking shiiite because you can't think of a sensible argument.

If you spent some of that money you might actually improve on the pitch.

You seem to be more concerned with your position in the wealth table than the league table. The new breed of football fan

I'm struggling with your logic again. How is losing your best players working towards that.

I would have rather played the kids because the CC was too much of a distraction, we had bigger fish to fry last year and it had a knock on effect

Erm.. now we have the money we can start spending it

your efforts to win things is futile, there is the proper use of the word.

Love these rich lists.
Funny how the richest club in the world, are also one the clubs in most debt, and are paying around £250,000 a day in interest payments.
Just had a look at my latest credit card statement, if you add this to my mortgage, and car payments, it would seem, using similar criteria as is used in football terms, Im the richest person in our street.

It's just a side effect of our rebuilding period. Unfortunate but it happens.

If we were down in 8th and managerless and I'd be concerned.

bit ironic coming from someone whos club needed a takeover and a bailout, then spent 100m to finish in 8th

==================================
Wow.

Wenger had money last year ...apparently. What stopped him spending then? His spending was only prompted by the 8-2 and to be honest the players he bought weren't the same quality as the ones who left.

Wow.

Got the same reaction when suggesting Liverpool would become a mid table side a few years ago
