I'd swap this years Carling cup for the champions league next year, annoying music, and I hate that pissing about with the 'starball flag' before each game, but fuck me I miss it.
I hate watching other clubs play in a competition we used to tear up almost every season when Rafa was here.
I hate that we buy Downing and Adam, whilst the others are buying Mata, Van der Vaart, Aguero etc.
To compete on a regular basis for trophies you need to attract the best players, and to buy the best palyers you need money, and the real money is in the Champions league, you can dress the fucking Carling cup up as much as you like but players will come because we play in the champions league, not 'cos we won last seasons Carling cup.
And if we persist with this nonsense of 'we only want players that want to play for Liverpool' nonsense we'll be forever in the shadow of the top 4.
Even fucking Suarez was conned into joining us, he's even said he thought he'd be partnering Torres, and it was a suprise when he left before I officially joined.
