Torres against United. 4 goals in 6 games, Vidic sent off twice due to not being able to catch him and having to take him out. Not sure if this constitutes havoc but it's up there surely.

Klopps Liverpool side beaten to three leagues by City and in the final of a league Cup.

That would have meant four PL's, an FA Cup, two league cups, a CL and obviously the minors CWC, Super Cup etc, in seven and a half seasons, under Klopp. Perhaps not cleaning up but certainly the most successful club over those years.

Also it's difficult to argue against Ancelloti being one of the greatest, considering his record and the teams he built.

Arsenals invincibles side is the best in PL history.

----------

To be fair, I don't think even Arsenal fans believe this. They may argue it's the best achievement, which is fair enough and open to debate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pundits always put them in the argument though which is a probably undeserved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely in the debate as the best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed. Every multiple-choice question needs a silly answer to see that participants are taking it seriously.

Gerrard won the CL singlehandedly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And Gerrard didn't slip. He was pushed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course he slipped but the slip wasn't the problem. He was looking for a pass before he had control of the ball and it went under his foot to the attacker who was clear on goal. He likely wouldn't have caught him even without the slip, although potentially he could have been close enough to make it more difficult and the goal isn't scored.

So, what you're saying is... it could potentially have been even funnier if he'd not slipped? I'd never thought about it that way.

Who is the best team?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the PL era it is either, United 98-01, United 06-09 or the current City team. If City win the PL or CL this season it’s hard to argue it isn’t them.

Well no as shouting we won't let this slip whilst the camera picked it up is surely the funny part.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Torres scored 4 against United in 16, not 6.

City have denied Klopp’s Liverpool 2 titles, not 3. Same as United in that time period. City have also knocked United out of more domestic cups on the way to winning them than Liverpool in the same period.

Ancelotti’s league record is modest. He’s also rarely ‘built’ teams other than the Milan one where he won a single league in almost a decade.

The complicated graph I've just drawn, which sets trophies won against cheating charges accrued in doing so, makes it quite easy to argue against them.

For Liverpool. Nobody said Torres caused havoc when playing for Chelsea, surely?

Ah yes, the other was under Rodgers so three PL's, an FA Cup, two league cups, a CL and obviously the minors CWC, Super Cup etc, in seven and a half seasons, under Klopp. Perhaps not cleaning up but certainly the most successful club over those years.

No but some go on like he always destroyed United. He had more quiet games than good ones even for Liverpool.
