You finished below Everton :innocent: :innocent: :innocent:
Revival - noun - "Returning to how it always was" :innocent:

Seems somewhat ironic that Liverpool being banned from Europe due to Heysel was the best thing that ever happened to them (since we were too) :evil:

at the end of the day(jumpers for goalposts etc.);-

previous hero(ph1) transfers to new club:instant disavowal of ph1 and burning of related merchandise

previous hero of arch enemy(ph2) transfers to your team:instant p*ss-take at expense of arch-enemy's fans(if you know any);instant (albeit kept to yourself)deification of ph2

same applies for managers.why not the moneymen?just 'cause he appears to have bought the club without having but the fleetingest of interets in fitba'(in which case the devil in me insists MUFC probably the best team to start with)doesn't mean he's not gonna play it the same as he plays his other businesses...presumably hes a better businessman than any of us or we wouldn't be having this conversation...we'ld be buying our own football teams.

...and anything that pisses the mancs off is fine by me anyway :twisted:

Although I have a healthy zero interest in all things football, I find this story hilarious! You cannot put yourself up for sale and then complain when someone you don't like comes along and snaps you up FFS! What planet are those supporters with the 'not for sale' signs on?......Errr, yes, you WERE for sale!...and you got bought....deal with it.

Liverpool's league form has been dire and we deserve to finish below Everton this year. However, class will out. We are in the CL final.The bluenoses will be an utter embarrassment in Europe.
The likelihood is that Everton won't get through the qualifiers, probably losing to someone like the runners-up from Israel or Azerbaijan.
The will probably prompt UEFA to reduce the number of Premiership qualifying places from 4 to 3 in future seasons.

Their squad won't be able to cope with fighting in both Europe and the Premiership. They will finish far below 4th position next season.
Enjoy it while it lasts!
