Seen loads of these trophy haul lists the last couple of days and the mancs still saying they've won the most trophies. Even counting charity shields as trophies including the ones they've shared.

 

Then they say the Super cup and world club championship aren't really trophies but for some reason include them in their haul.

 

According to our Champion's Wall we are on:

 

League titles- 19

FA Cups - 8

League Cups - 10

European Cup/CL - 6

Europa/UEFA Cup - 3

European Super Cup - 4

World Club Cup - 1 

 

Total 51

 

Man Utd 

 

League titles - 20

FA Cup - 12

League Cup - 6

European Cup/CL- 3

Cup Winners Cup - 1

Europa/Uefa Cup - 1

European Super Cup - 1

Intercontinental Cup - 1

World Club Championship - 1

 

Total - 46

 

The rest of Europe treat the Super Cup and WCC as major trophies whereas the Charity Shield was always just a pre season friendly to open the footy season in August. It's never been treated as a Super Cup like in Italy or Germany and has been shared in the past when the game ended in a draw. 

WTF is the intercontinental cup ?

The older version of the World Club Cup. Was played between the European Champions and the South Americam Champions.

 

Liverpool played Flamengo in 1981 and Independiente in 1984 losing both games. The games were a one off in Tokyo. 

 

When we won the European Cup in 1977 and 1978 we didn't participate as they were over two legs and the away legs in South America were marred with violence. Pity as in 1977 we would have played Boca Juniors but Monchengladbach took our place when we declined. My mate is a Borussia fan and said both legs were played about 7 months apart.

Ah got it that tournament was the one where Ferguson devalued the FA Cup to take part in it.

[manwiththestick]

No 12:30 game in the PL this week.

 

Seems like if it's not us, it's hardly anyone.

No, they won the Intercontinental Cup in 1999 in Japan beating Palmerias but then opted to go to a new tournament in January 2000 in Brazil which is what the World Club Cup is now with champions of each continent. 

 

It got binned off after that one tournament and they went back to the old format of Europe V South America until Porto were the last to win it in 2004. We played in the revamped tournament in 2005 when we played a team from Costa Rica in the semi final then lost to Sao Paolo in the final. 

 

The old Intercontinental cup had been going since the 1960s but a lot of European teams refused to enter due to the violence and bad security, especially playing against teams from Argentina.

[Lee909]

So BT/TNT just decided against a 12:30 game today. I guess they're only arsed if they can schedule us in. Don't forget it's not fair to put Arsenal into a 12:30 on a Saturday if they've played away in Europe on a Wednesday. But it's fine scheduling us in after every international break when our South Americans don't often get home till Friday mornings

 

13 times since Klopp been here we got the 12:30 game seven more than Sours and Chelsea in second

[Tj hooker]

They can't pick us for the 12:30 anymore this season as we've filled all our slots , so it looks like if it's not us then it's no one bastards

Troy Hawke just crossed for Bamford to score for Leeds.

[Redder Lurtz]

Fuck off leeds scum. 

[Anubis]

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans! That Leeds kit!

[Redder Lurtz]

All I've heard from Leeds wankers this week is that Chelsea should be sued for having an unsafe ground after that leeds bellend fell off the upper teir the other night.

 

Never mind that hundreds of thousands of fans have sat in the same place and managed not to fall off. Also never mind that the Leeds bellend in question is the same bellend who went to prison for punching Chris Kirkland and has been the subject of numerous football banning orders.

 

Fuck him. And fuck Leeds. 

[Chocoholic]

The Bloos got a penalty at home, and Beto missed it, because the Premier League is corrupt and want to see them relegated.

 

Everton 0-0 West Ham

 

Former Tottenham and England goalkeeper, Paul Robinson, on BBC Radio 5 Live

 

"If you don't like seeing goals go to Goodison Park."

 

[Lee909]

Hahahaha

 

Chelsea fans singing 'Fuck off Mauricio' and Boehly, you're a cunt. Boehly, Boehly, you're a cunt'.  Then singing about wanting Mourinho back.

 

Mourinho is a busted flush as a manager. 

[No2]

There is another goal awarded similar to VVD's that wasn't. Chong blocks a defender from an offside position, not even mentioned.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Luton going for it

[Gruntfuttock]

2:3 Villa

[Rushies tash]

That Luton right back losing a runner again.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Luton losing now, narrowly after a great second half performance.

 

Kind of gutted for them. They can't get over the line a most of their games, after some really decent performances. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Mad how far United are off the pack. After tomorrow, they'll be 6 points off 5th, with spuds having a game in hand.

They shouldn't be that good. Makes me nervous as we still have to go to theirs. Was hoping they'd have faded into obscurity by then. Looking unlikely now.
