    Has there ever been a more straight forward run to an FA Cup win than that?
    United's Europa League win might have been easier, tbf.

    You lot need to lighten up. This same bunch are moaning that Kroenke wont spend the money. Oh the irony!. City have been great, so have Pool.
    See I made my point without petty insults....

    Hard to disagree(with Lettuce's last post)...lol. I still give them significant credit for achieving something very difficult to do and never done before....but you can't ignore the obvious.

    They have a few likeable players at the club.

    I do however find the hoards of our own fans now calling for the same model of pumping money into us by whatever means a little grotesque though.

    Wood for the trees or completely missing the point comes to mind.

    I think most fans just want some kind of investment to stop us sliding backwards. IF - and i mean if - we win the EL we need to massively strengthen to avoid a complete trashing in the CL, plus to make top four

    At the moment it really looks like the Kroenkes want their asset to devalue...

    Sure, but that needn't come via dubious means. We make our own money and the better we use the money we do make, the better off we will be.

    If I bought a business and the people I let run it made purchases like Mustafi, I'd be dubious about giving the people in charge handouts too. I'm not pro Kroenke, but I do think it has become easy to blame him and he more gets mentioned due to the good he could do that he isn't, rather than the bad that he is doing.

    I give you Liverpool, 1992.

    3rd Round – Crewe Alexandra v Liverpool
    4th Round – Bristol Rovers v Liverpool
    5th Round – Ipswich Town v Liverpool
    6th Round – Liverpool v Aston Villa
    Semi-Final – Portsmouth v Liverpool
    FA Cup Final – Liverpool v Sunderland

    Villa were a very good team then I think. Citeh’s run was a complete cakewalk.

    Villa finished 7th so they were ok, Liverpool were at home though.
    Think that’s the only top division side Liverpool had to play.

    Must’ve been the year before of after I’m remembering. I know they finished second at some point around then.
