You're on a United blog saying that you had to be a really great team to win the title in the 70's and 80's, implying that you don't have to be a great team to win the league in the modern era. The United teams of recent times would walk all over those Liverpool teams. Take the backpass away from them and they're nothing. As I said, do what you do best, and go set up a petition. Yea right.

There was me thinking lack of Championships was down to United being a "great" team.. but there we have it, the backpass rule. I think I must have hit a nerve with my constructive criticism.

The competition at the top the next few years is likely to be so fierce, it will be like the 70s and 80s where you really did have to be a great team to win the title. ========================== Yea, we all remember the days of boring backpass shitball as epitomised by the Liverpool title winning sides of the 70s and 80s. Let's face it, the backpass rule killed you guys. No coincidence that you haven't managed to win a single league title since it was brought in. It killed overly negative and defensive play, which killed any hope you had of winning the league. Maybe you should do what Liverpool fans do best, and petition Uefa to get the rule reinstated, because it's only way your boring negative shitball of a team is going to add to the long stale 18 (division one) league titles. >>I personally don’t think United will win the league this season, I happen to think they will be pipped to it by Chelsea.

It looked like the team that sneaked the title. When you are missing Ronaldo or Rooney then you are in serious trouble, similar to last season with the Blues missing Cech and Terry. We can all come up with excuses for various title or cup winners, e.g. injuries, poor competition, dodgy refs/linesman, luck etc etc. But the only thing that can be agreed upon is who are the winners. It is not like Liverpool failed a drug test in 2005 - they won it fair and square. You always have your muppets like Mourinho saying the ball wasn't over the line (in all honesty I wish it hadn't crossed the line as the Ref said he was going to give a pen and send off Cech... so I know which scenario I'd have preferred that night!)

Have to completely disagree with you on the CL. End of the day, it's just a cup competition. The most prestigious club competition, but the very fact teams like Milan and Liverpool have won it in recent years, only managing 4th and 5th place finishes respectively in their own league, shows it isn't beneath the domestic league. Like Rio says, if you win your league and the CL, that's when the value is added on, when you've shown you have a team capable of competing at home and in Europe. Barca, for example, had facts to back up their claim for the best team in Europe when they won it the season before last. Winning the league proves your the best team in your country, winning a cup proves what? What did Millwall prove by making the FA Cup final in 2003? Cups always have elements of luck, you can have a "lucky" winner. That isn't the case in a league. Matthew – no response to anything else I said there then?

There is a pecking order of silverware and obviously the FA Cup is below the Premiership and the domestic league is always beneath the Champions League.
