Joe fagan was only there a short time and dalglish presided over the clubs decline to which we still suffer to this day. But really comaring these successes really misses the point when anyone looks back at our history surely the 2005 champions league campaign has to be a high spot some would say the clubs greatest ever achievement certainly the most memorable. Rafa Benitez holds great affection with the Liverpool fans as we saw yesterday never known the Kop the chant an opposition manager so much it was constant all though the game. The 2005 campaign for me (and many others), is THE highlight of our entire history.

Liverpool under benitez were not even the best in England so how could Liverpool be the best in the world ? In 1984 Liverpool were the best in the world , and joe had just steered Liverpool to another league title, to be champions of European and beat the up and coming everton to the league cup , and to even strengthen my point dalglish won three league titles and two fa cups , as for mentioning Joe getting to the semi final well plenty of you put that down as a benitez plus point , as for meeting him I have nice enough fella bit that has nothing to do with what he did or didn't do at LFC .

Exactly - we knew we'd probably win the league back then. No one expected us to lift the CL in 2005 though - the element of surprise and disbelief is what made it so memorable, exciting and utterly brilliant.

The greatest manager since Paisley, THAT IS A FACT!!!! not fact Joe fagan and dalglish between then four titles one European cup , two league cups and one double , plus houllier the trophies he won so not fact embarrassingly not fact . Houllier??????? LOL As for Fagan, he wasn't really around long enough for anyone to say whether our successes were down to him or whether it was just something he inherited. As for Dalglish, he has never won anything as a manager in Europe. Rafa inherited Houlliers squad and won his major trophy while with us so is he not similar to Fagan in that regard? Something similar with Inter.

A truly great manager wins european trophies in different countries, or beats red hot favourites to winning the domestic league. Outspending your rivals is easy if you've got the support (city, chelsea, blackburn). And Inheriting the best team in the world and repeating what they did the year before doesn't overly impress me. There are only a handful of world class managers that have succeeded in different countries - Benitez is one of them.

If by highlight you mean the most positively surprising and unbelieveable, then yes, but, I really prefered the time we were the best team in the world, and Manure nowhere near, like us right now. Moores, you are a bitch, selling to the devil who offered a few quids more.

Something similar with Inter. Hold on! Rafa inherited a steaming pile of crap from houllier - the fact that he won the CL with a lot of Houllier's players just makes his achievement even more remarkable. I didn't see GH steam rollering the cream of europe in the CL with the likes of biscan, kewell, baros, smicer, traore and other such dross.
