What would you prefer?

[RedKnight]

I'm proud of our league titles record and the thought of those wankers from salford catching us turns my stomach. If their fans weren't such utter cunts about 'we won it two times' at every fuckin' game then maybe I'd feel differently.

[G Richards]

We should always want Liverpool to do as well as possible. 2nd is better than 3rd every time, even more so with a longer summer break on offer with no qualifying CL tie to negitiate.

 

Would people take 10th every season for the next 10 years, on the proviso that Man Utd never won another title during that time?

 

It would keep our record 19-15 intact!

Oops - I mean 18-15, as it currently stands.

Of course they wouldn't that's a completely different question. For me the overriding factor is not wanting the Mancs to catch us, I can handle a CL qualifier for that. Two extra games shouldn't ruin our whole season, the only real advantage I can see in finishing second is being able to guarantee CL football to players we are trying to sign.

[Momo Is A Beast]

i'll go for 3rd.

 

Stop the Mancs closing in our record. It has to be done.

 

In saying that though we're still 5-2 up on European Cups ;)

My example is obviously ludicrous, but it does guarantee, for the next 10 years, that the Mancs do not catch us!

 

Surely any right thinking Liverpool fan wants the best for Liverpool every time. Second is better than third.

[Guest Raddy]

by saying we don't want the mancs closing in on our precious record, we're basically saying, or conceding, that we don't think we'll ever add to it.

[Stouffer]

The way I see it is that it's up to us to stop the mancs closing in on our record. Unfortunately if they are catching up it's because they deserve it.

 

I feel sick now.

[Newport]

3rd, but I hope Chelsea starts catching up after the 20th.

 

That weekend could be a thrill btw. We beat Chelsea and Gunners beat Mancs. Best weekend in a long time.

It's not that much better though, the consequences of the Mancs having another title in the bag offset any advantage of finishing 2nd instead of 3rd. The reasons put forward by the "finish second" brigade aren't convincing enough.

[Cath]

We will stop the Mancs winning titles by winning titles ourselves.

It's not that, it's just they're getting a bit too close for comfort.

[Guest Raddy]

so?

 

lets just worry about ourselves.

I thought you were Chelsea's biggest fan this season?

[Guest Raddy]

i've had a moment of clarity.

[Momo Is A Beast]

there is a point though. even if they do win number 15, can u see us not winning the title for another 3 years?

 

So, having thought about my initial statement, fuck it, 2nd and the Mancs. Plus it'll be good for football as well as it may go someway to proving that you can't always buy success (Shevchenko!)

 

So let the mancs win it, if we finish above chelsea I'll be happy. Lets just hope the trophy room staff at Old Toilet keep it clean for us for 2007/2008

[Redexile]

Hard, hard, hard question. I've gone for the 'Utd 1st, us 2nd' one. We're gonna win the Prem soon so 19's not that far away, and I think when we win 19, we won't have to wait as long for 20, 21, 22 etc.

 

And i'd love to see Maureen's face if we finished aboved them in the Prem.

 

good point about Moaninho...seem to remeber him saying Chelseas only challenge would come from the mancs and arsenal...still can't bring meself to vote tho'

[Wig]

That's what I was trying to say.

Spot on Cath.

I'd be gutted if the fuckers won the prem, but when we start winning it, this thread won't matter.

[BorizJeltzin]

It would hurt like hell seeing the mancs win it. But finishing above the bastards and freak show that are Chelsea would ease the pain a bit.

 

I will always hope for the best for Liverpool. Finishing 2nd is so much better than third for the reason already mentioned.

Sums it up for me

[Brownie]

I'd rather we finished third than the mancs win it myself. I'm sort of used to Chelsea winning it now and although it's a horrible feeling, it isn't anything compared to seeing the likes of Fergie and Neville walking around with that trophy.

 

I also don't buy into the whole 'we'll win the title soon anyway' view because we've been saying that for about ten years!

 

Nothing is granted in football so i'd rather we kept up our supremacy over the cunts from down the Lancs for the time being.

 

Very tough question though (and also very good).

[chorlton]

third and united don't win the title, i'd snatch yer hand off this season. 2nd still isn't 1st so who gives a shit if it's 2nd or 3rd provided united don't win.

[Stouffer]

To re-word the question.

 

Who do you prefer, ratboy or mongo? demento or maureen?

 

It makes me sick, sick, sick.

 

We can still do it.

I reckon we'll win it soon. I'm not saying next season or nothing. But what happens if Chelsea win it on and off for the next 20 years?

You'd have a lot of reds turning bitter.

I've got evertonian mates who don't care if Everton lost as long as Liverpool do too.

I can see what you're saying, but Utd losing is not the be all and end all for me - far from it. Them winning the title effects us in a massive way IMO, whereas Chelsea winning it isn't in the same stratosphere.

Different sentiment though, we don't want the mancs to win over chelsea as they are closing in on our number of titles. It's not bitterness, it's MAFFS!
