Isn't it sad - they once ruled Europe, brushing away any team that came before them. Imperious, arrogant & fearless.
Now, following their tame 1-1 draw against lowly Leeds United, they sit in 6th place, 28 points behind the mighty Arsenal. A season in ruins, a Champions League spot for next year looking ever more distant. Even the legendary Scouse wit seems to have deserted them, their manager is clueless, their players ordinary. Whilst Arsenal represent the Rolls Royce of the Premiership and cruise on with the likes of Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp and Pires, Liverpool are behaving like a rusting old Ford Cortina with players like the Hapless Heskey and the ever dubious Diouf! How the mighty have fallen, I often look where they are placed and always get a crick in my neck because they are so far down the table. There have been times when I've felt pity - but 2 seconds later I'm okay. Does anyone here have a good word for them?

They just have a crysis. Like Inter. Lost 3:1 against Brescia for gods sake.
But Barcelona won! [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

6th in a league of 20 teams isn't so bad really. They're only a win away from 4th place. Liverpool were once brilliant, but the last few years they've only ever been where they are now - in the sub-top. I find Leeds' demise more interesting. They were always pretty good, but it looks like they're out of the top flight this year.

I'm talking about their recent years - of course it's crap compared to the glory days of the eighties and such, but have they really dropped significantly since the mid-nineties?
