Calling out Deacon, Mugabe, and Dplanet

[Omero's Daddy]

Look man... I've been a liverpool fan since 1988. I'm loyal to my squad. We may not play the most elegant football out there.. But we've got heart and character.

Arsenal plays some of the most beautifull football in the world... No one can take that away from them. THeir a joy to watch. A joy with no champions league success.

LIVERPOOL for life!!! - "You will never walk alone"


@ Deacon Frost - I bet u a R100 bucks we'll finish the season ahead of you... You can up the ante if u like  :wink:

Liverpool's tally of eighteen Football League championships is a record for English clubs, their nearest challenger being Manchester United with sixteen. Liverpool achieved the League and FA Cup "Double" in 1986 and have won two "Trebles". The first treble of League, League Cup and European Cup was achieved in 1984 and a cup treble was achieved in 2001 comprising the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup.

Liverpool's total of five European Cups[2] is an English record and the third highest total overall, after Real Madrid and AC Milan. The fifth victory in 2005 entitled Liverpool to receive the UEFA badge of honour, thus allowing them to keep the trophy permanently.[63] However, Liverpool have never won the Intercontinental Cup nor the FIFA Club World Cup as of yet despite all the European Cups with many instances involving refusal to take part.

Liverpool's total of three UEFA Cups is an English record, and equal to the overall record, shared with four other clubs. The tallies of seven League Cups and three European Super Cups are also English records.

Records and statistics
For more details on this topic, see Liverpool F.C. statistics.
Liverpool's first ever competitive game was in the Lancashire League against Higher Walton. The match was won 8–0, with a mostly Scottish team.[67]

Ian Callaghan holds Liverpool's appearance record, having made 848 over the course of 19 seasons from 1958–78.[68] He also holds the record for League appearances with 640.[44] Of the current squad Jamie Carragher has the most appearances with 455 as of 2 March 2007.

Liverpool's all time leading scorer is Ian Rush, who scored 346 goals in two spells at the club from 1980–1987 and 1988–1996.[68] Rush holds the record for the most goals in a season with 47 in 1983–84. However, during his career, Rush could not surpa** the league goal-scoring record of Roger Hunt, which has stood at 245 since 1970.[44] In the 1961–62 season, Hunt scored 41 goals, setting the club record for league goals in a single season.[44] Gordon Hodgson is the club's third highest scorer with 240 goals,[68] and holds the club record of 17 hat tricks.[69] The most goals scored by a player in a single match is 5, which has been achieved by John Miller, Andy McGuigan, John Evans, Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler.[70] Fowler also holds the club and Premiership record for the fastest hat trick from when he scored three past Arsenal in 4 minutes, 32 seconds in the second game of the 1994–95 season.[71] Steven Gerrard (current Liverpool FC Captain) is Liverpool's all-time leading goalscorer in the European Cup with 19 goals.[72]

Liverpool's biggest ever victory was 11–0 against Strømsgodset I.F. in 1974, in which nine of the ten outfield players scored — a Liverpool record.[44] Rotherham Town were the victims of Liverpool's biggest league win, losing 10–1 in 1896.[44] This margin of victory was matched in the modern era, as Crystal Palace were defeated 9–0 at Anfield in 1989.[73] Liverpool's heaviest defeats were against Huddersfield Town in 1935 (0–8) and Birmingham City in 1954 (1–9).[44]
