Well you've finished above us once in about 300 years and won no trophies for nearly as long so compete is a strong word.

Well 2010/11 season you finished 1 place and 4 points above us and the 2009/10 1 place and 2 points, 2007/08 you finished one place above us, 2006/07 was 3 places and 2004/ 05 we did finish above you...thats four from six seasons we've been in and around you...now should I bring up spends during that time or do you take my point

I'm a Liverpool fan, I know lots of other Liverpool fans and the reaction to the Carroll & Henderson signings and the Downing rumour ranges from underwhelmed to cautiously optimistic, as well as disbelief at the price. On the rare occasion I wander over to a site like RAWK (which has some of the most deluded red fans in the world), the reaction seems to be the same. Very little in the way of 'we're gunna win the league la!'. Just been on Facebook and I have no idiot friends claiming that Liverpool are going to win the league. So what is it? Do you actually know and communicate with deluded reds that believe Downing is a title-winning signing? Or are you just another bitter blue, setting Liverpool fans up for a 'phoney fall' so that in 9 months time you can say "I told you so" because it's the only thing you can cling on to, year after year after year...? Deluded Liverpool fan says club can challenge for title.

Was gonna say Giggs but the Uefa cup is probably one of the only trophies he hasn't won isn't it?

City of Manchester now is going to be called The Etihad stadium, no real surprise.

No it, it says that there are Liverpool fans out there that believe you can still win the league. It says nothing about me.

So they're idiots for having big ambitions? I'm sure there are, there will be Liverpool fans that have the feelings you mentioned and the feelings I've mentioned. In all the Liverpool fans around the world deluded or not there will be some who think you can win the league and there will be others that don't. Just because the people you know don't say you're gonna win the league it doesn't mean everyone is like that. It doesn't mean the people you know are the voice of all fans worldwide either.

Calm down, dear. Don't flatter yourself, I don't really care what Liverpool do, the only time they worry me is when they come to Goodison and we go to Anfield. Believe me I have enough worries about where my club is going to be bothered about yours too. I didn't set anyone up for anything, they said it and I laughed, that's about it. I didn't bring anything up.
