Please re-read the title of this thread and then feel free to edit your post as appropriateUntil recently, I didn't appreciate how good Liverpool's record has been over the years.
I knew they were good in the past (mainly the 80s), but because of my age I didn't know the ins-and-outs of it.
Firstly, you have to go all the way back to before the 62/63 season for them to finish outside of the 'Top-8'.
That is a phenomenal record!!
Then you have the 70s and 80s when they only finished outside of the 'Top-2' 3 times, whilst picking up 11 titles (and I'm sure quite a few cups, although I haven't checked that).
So it's not surprising why their fans are 'entitled' or 'deluded' with that sort of pedigree.
It also explains why they hate Sir Alex Ferguson so much; apart from the obvious rivalry, he completely stole their thunder in the 90s and 00s.
And it also explains why they're so desperate to win another league title; the last one was in 89/90 season (nearly 30 years ago).
