I thought we'd improved a lot over last season. It turns out that we won fewer games and picked up less points than last year. Very surprising??!

1 point less yes. 75 against 76 last year.

78:42 against 84:38 in goal difference.

But given our net expenditures over the last seasons maybe we shouldn't expect much better?

We have been consistent between the 2 seasons, which is more than you can say about Chelsea and Manure.

We have also been better than Arsenal for 2 consecutive seasons. That's good - or maybe that's sort of more bad from them?

Our goal scoring improvement from last season comes from what we have achieved in CL. There we are outstandingly good as BR would have said: 40 scored and only 13 conceded in 12 games so far!

What annoys me about Liverpool's hierarchy is that we waited 6 months to still pay 75m for VVD(a world record fee for a defender) and we've had to wait a year for Keita still forking out 56m!
What sort of messed up system is that?

Our transfer system should be called LAYAWAY!

It had nothing to do with the higher ups waiting. Southampton were filing a complaint, and they didn't want to sell. After 6 months of him sulking they caved, but it was all them, not us.

No PL club has yet made a real attempt to secure all 4 major trophies. City came closest a couple of times but bombed out of CL last 16 stage and this year couldn't keep a whole squad together to beat Wigan in FA Cup. It is nigh on impossible these days as footballers are athletes and even at lower levels players are fit enough on a good day to take down a big team if they are under strength.
CL is by far the biggest prize and although PL is what we all want we may have to accept that the way teams operate we may have to wait a bit longer or sacrifice a CL campaign or two to land it. At the moment this team is clearly geared up for CL and that is what top players want to be competing in.

Ask Spangles and you'll hear that we actually have no top players SSO, so should be no problem for them to gear up for PL and the domestic cups. PL is apparently a dead competition aswell... laugh

Oh and the same goes for CL. A dead competition for us smaller clubs. No chance for that at all. Hmm... whistle crazy grin
