This morning is one that I can bet many if not most on here will not have seen, Liverpool, Champions. As someone who was around watching football from 68 I watched many many Liverpool triumphs, whilst United flattered to deceive.

Well done to Liverpool, the best team wins the league and they deserve it. I can say that because I saw their great teams live every season at OT and semi finals and finals. I recall mid 70's I think with Emmy Hughes they beat us comprehensively 3.0 at OT, I had begrudging admiration for a great side. With a European Cup and Champions in successive years they will say they are back on their perch. The how long is up to everyone else and also how Liverpool themselves go forward. They have owners who want the football side to succeed.

Make no mistake this would have been far more difficult and quite possibly not have happened, if we as a club had been more dynamic preparing for SAF departure, then the ridiculous decisions since. The whole issue does stretch back to the change of ownership, but that doesn't excuse the rank planning in the last 10 years.

I wonder if some are prepared for what happens if Liverpool build on this whilst we dither, will we have learned from the 70's and 80's repeated false dawns with glowing messages about managers like Sexton who had no chance? We didn't learn from Busby's departure when SAF retired so it is probably not likely we will have learned from the lack of direction and drive.

I suspect those of you not used to the press love of Liverpool will now find out the over adulation of them. Let's congratulate them they deserve the title but I am worried we have not learned the lessons to make a difference in the very near future, as Ed says we are not a progressive club.

it feels a bit like "meh" liverpool have won the title o well, i think having the C.V. break and the fact there are no fans in the stadiums to watch them lift it, its made it not as a big deal

when in fact 30 years since there last title.

celebrating at home with the atmosphere the fans bring,

it felt worse when city won the title than this.

they have deserved it, they play fantastic football and are a joy to watch, city set the benchmark and Liverpool have raised it.

it will take a lot for any other teams other than city to challenge.

Yeah! 'meh' to Liverpool and their worthless title. We didn't want it anyway.

In fact, shame on them for pursuing glory in these times of tragedy. The scouser have no class.
