actually i find liverpool fc quite pathetic club to support. they keep playing badly. but one thing you must admit that despite all the downfalls, the fans still sticking thick and though to the club no matter what happen.
here we can see that poolman, baseline, redz and many others who have alot of knowledge about liverpool.
it's officially... liverpool supporters are true supporters! -

Although Liverpool's EPL results sucks last season, they did perform extremely well in the Champion League.
All of you can counter-check the results to understand.
As the European Elite competition, I believe that the poll place more weight on the CL matches.
Therefore, the points sort up chalk up.
Plus the Champion League Victory.
As for Liverpool fans, they are the most passionate lots.
Even if Liverpool play lousy, the fan will reprimand the team and the manager like siao.
But, a Liverpool Fan will NEVER be a deserter or Glory Seeker !!!!
No matter what, we support the team like siao, cry and laugh with the roller-coaster ride that Liverpool Football Club have brought us.
Of all the Football Club on Planet Soccer, Liverpool Football Club is the ONLY club that brings SO MUCH DisAppointment, Excitement, BoreDom, SurPrises, ShoCk, Joy in ONE Single SeAson.
Please tell me is there another just a CLUB ????
NB: Please dun quote the S-League Clubs, Ok ? -

i just realized the title "offcial" is spelt wrongly. shd be offical...
so much so for the offcial best in the world -
I thought the stats was justifiable . Why not ?
We have won more European Cup than any of the English Clubs , and won a few UEFA Cup on the road , and along the way , we won some Super Cup , and I thought , if base on , merit of pariticipant , sure L'pool would got a few more points from playing more qualifiers , and surely playing in the then Division One and current EPL , surely we got a few more points from there .
I seriously thought the Poll were conducted also base on winning domestic Cups and Titles , hey ..... we have won 18 English Titles leh , and FA Cups ? League Cups ?
Surely no teams in England can beat what L'pool had achieved , right ? -
but alot of teams can beat liverpool in england
-
right..but they said it was based on results from 2004-2005..and in history,shouldn't RM be at the very top,afterall they're the team of the century..Originally posted by Poolman:I thought the stats was justifiable . Why not ?

this is a meaningless discussion.
regardless what will think liverpool fans will still think they are the best.
to be really fair liverpool was the greatest club during the Division One period. man u is the greatest club in the EPL. -
Barca is ranked below Celtic... dumbfounded.
On current form, I think this ranking table doesn't make sense. -
THE REDS: TOP OF THE CLUBS
By Gary Lim
November 10, 2005
IT is something which would have made Bill Shankly very proud - if the legendary manager were alive today.
The former boss of Liverpool, credited with transforming the Merseyside club into a European power during the 1960s and 1970s, lived and breathed Liverpool Football Club.
And recently, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), ranked Liverpool as the current world's No. 1 club.
The Reds, captained by Steven Gerrard (above), are perched at the top in its latest monthly world club rankings.
IFFHS was founded 21 years ago in Leipzig, in the old East Germany.
I know many football fans would be up in arms on hearing the news.
What about Chelsea?
They're a popular choice for sure.
Barcelona?
Must be up there or thereabouts.
And Juventus?
A top-class side without a doubt.
But the IFFHS, which began ranking the world's teams since 1991, don't think so.
Chelsea are ranked a lowly 12th, Juventus occupy 19th spot while Barcelona are placed 28th.
Lo and behold, Real Madrid are in 30th spot, below the likes of CSKA Moscow (6th), Villarreal (10th), AZ Alkmaar (14th) and Newcastle (17th).
According to the IFFHS website, points are awarded to clubs for wins, with different competitions carrying different weightage. The ranking 'takes into consideration the results of 12 months of continental and intercontinental competitions, national league matches (including playoffs) and the national cup'.
The website also reads: 'The World Club Ranking is a precise classification showing the real level of the clubs free of any subjective influence. It is the result of a profound analysis that allows us to fairly report the level of international performance for each country.'
Just like how the seedings for Grand Slam tennis tournaments often baffle the players, there is seldom one magic formula in sports on who is the best.
Years have passed since the debate over whether Pele or Diego Maradona is the best-ever footballer began, but there is no conclusion and there probably never would be. An element of subjectivity, plus a small dose of common sense, certainly helps.
For example, with no disrespect, did anyone really think that Greece were the strongest European team by virtue of their win at Euro 2004?
Liverpool may have won the Champions League title last season. But at the same time, they finished fifth place in the English Premier League, a massive 38 points off the pace, and recorded 14 losses in 38 games.
On the other hand, English rivals Chelsea were the runaway winners of the League and won the Carling Cup final against Liverpool.
However, they lost to the Reds in the Champions League semi-finals.
Barcelona, where stars such as Ronaldinho, Deco and Samuel Eto'o entertain their fans week in, week out on their way to the Spanish League title, certainly look stronger than Liverpool.
So, too, are Manchester United, who are ranked fifth by IFFHS.
Football fans here, like Terence Yee, are puzzled by the rankings.
The 26-year-old sales executive, a Pablo Aimar fan, believes that Chelsea should be at the top.
He said: 'Chelsea may have lost their last few matches but if the rankings are based on the last 12 months, then they certainly did well.
'I thought Barcelona and Juventus should be somewhere there as well.
'Whatever it is, it can't be Liverpool.'
Chua Seng Chye, 35, a hostel manager, feels that the results are 'nonsense'. He said: 'If you ask me, French club Lyon is certainly one of the best sides over the past year. They did well in the Champions League and are continuing to shine this season.
'Liverpool did well to win the Champions League last season and I believe they should be among the top teams. But can't be No.1, lah.'
One thing is for sure. There will never be a consensus when it comes to picking which is the best team.
Well, someone said football is a beautiful game, didn't he? - TNP -
i think most of the voters must be british.Originally posted by sillyme:Barca is ranked below Celtic... dumbfounded.
