According to the pundits on Al Jazeera sport at HT (Dalglish, Curbishly and some other knacker), Liverpool are the clear favorites to lift this trophy  :undecided:

 

Depends how good the security is around it.

Rodgers dresses like he's a good manager, with the little jumper and that.

 

He's just won a game in Europe, they will be building the shrine by now are they?

 

 

Aye

A question for the older lads on here, but isn't this "historical rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United" hype simply rewriting history? I'm 43 and I don't remember any great rivalry between them in the late 1970s and 1980s before Ferguson. At that time, Manchester United were simply not a competitive club. Liverpool's rivals were teams like Forest, Ipswich, Everton, Arsenal, and Villa. Conversely, in the Sky/Premiership era, Liverpool have barely been competitive and have watched on as Manchester United have domestically surpassed their historical achievements.

 

So hyping the rivalry helps Man U forget they were massive underachievers and were even relegated when Liverpool were coming to be the main force in English football and helps Liverpool forget they have been mainly also-rans for the last twenty years. If Man U have rivals, they are Arsenal, Chelsea and now Citeh. Liverpool are just a team that raises their game against them.

Fergie was told he had to out do liverpools titles.  He has done a great job in domestic terms but Liverpool have 5 european cups.
