Entirely agree.

The Manchester United players aren't necessarily better than ours. I mean, Wayne Rooney, Antonio Valencia, Nemanja Vidic are some of the best players but compared to the likes of Danny Welbeck, Jonny Evans and all, we may have players in similar quality or could even be better.

However, United certainly know how to win games. They've lost good players over the years and yet they will always play every season the same. I've never seen them have a bad Premier League season.

I remember I mentioned why Liverpool were so successful in the late 1970s-1980s is because we played football the same way, the same philosophy from Shankly to Paisley to Fagan to Dalglish. Almost the same way Manchester United has been built by Ferguson in his 27 year reign.

Also, during those times, we had the great players of Aldo, Rushie, Beardsley, Digger who easily slotted in with the previous successful teams built by Fagan and Paisley. Success breeds success and we had the winning mentality.

However, all these were probably lost when Kenny stepped down, only to be rebuilt by Evans, Houllier and Benitez but only for the progress to be halted under Roy Hodgson and H&G. Now, Kenny's got to build us up again.

I keep saying how the 2008-2009 runners-up squad is the best Liverpool squad I have ever seen in my life as a fan but we never won anything with them. Mascherano and Torres were easily one of the world's best in their positions but we won nothing. So maybe Lucas, Henderson, Carroll are no Mascherano, Alonso and Torres but we've won a trophy with them and there's a chance for another in 2-3 weeks time.

And about the academy benefits .. Take a look at Barcelona. It took 20 years for results to come out!

You're right. As I mentioned before, the mess was still because of H&G. Can you imagine if we had other owners? Rafa's progress wouldn't have stopped there and there was no need to have Roy Hodgson as our manager but you gotta give credit to Rafa for his work with the academy and for bringing back Kenny and all that.

He definitely did not start it but he didn't do himself any favours by insulting the fans, insulting players and making us play football that made my eyes bleed! Maybe if we had a better first half of the 2010/2011 season, Torres wouldn't have left.

That award is so biased. Can't believe there's no Steven Gerrard at all. He's easily been the best player in the last 10-15 years but he gets overlooked because he never won a League title. Fair enough Ronaldo was awesome in his last 2 years at United but it's an award for 20 years, not 2 years. Not sure why Martin Skrtel was not nominated for PFA Player of the Year either.

They included Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger but left out the only other manager to win the league - King Kenny Dalglish.

All these awards by the FA are utter bullshit anyway and I don't really care who wins it anymore, lol.

what do u mean our academy halted under rafa?? rafa is the one who bring in so may talented youth..without rafa i seriously dont know what our academy will be like

mind telling which progress halted under rafa???

Liverpool: Reds Sign Youth International

Liverpool have moved to secure the signature of promising midfielder Dan Smith from Crewe Alexandra.

Manchester City were thought to be close to taking the 16-year-old to Eastlands a couple of months ago but with that move breaking down, the Reds have capatalised by agreeing a fee thought to be around £300,000 plus extras based on future appearances etc.

Crewe spokesman Rob Wilson is quoted as telling the Crewe Chronicle: "We are naturally disappointed that Dan has decided to sign for Liverpool.

"The club has received an undisclosed fee and future add-ons but we would have much preferred to have seen him play for our first team."

Despite no comment being forthcoming from Anfield as yet, the England youth international seemingly confirmed the transfer by posting a picture of himself with Kenny Dalglish on Twitter under the caption 'signing for Liverpool'.

Jackson Martínez is Liverpool's newest player

“The European club have paid three million $US for the Colombian striker," and now the "Cha-Cha-Cha" will be danced to an English beat.

Various press outlets in Mexico report that Liverpool have already paid Jaguares a sum of money to secure the signing of Jackson Martínez, who will now be competing in the Premier League in England.

One of Mexico's most credible journalists is Jorge Zambrano, who, in an interview with RCN-Antena 2, revealed the fee negotiated with the English club: "Jackson is a player from another part of the world, and so the Liverpool board have already made a downpayment of 3 of the 9 million dollars," he claimed.

With knowledge of the official version of events, the Mexican commentator states that the transfer of the Colombian forward to Liverpool, known in English as "The Reds" and considered one of the most important in Europe, has already been agreed. "Now I can safely say that Jackson is a Liverpool player." ´

However, he is convinced that the Liverpool board will consider offering him the opportunity to play for another Premier League club: "They will quickly loan him out to another club, which is the way they do things in Europe."
Even still, he is sure that this will be Martínez' final season at Jaguares: "Jackon is certain to leave Mexico this summer."

Martínez will become only the second player currently playing in the prestigious English Premier League after Hugo Rodallega who has been playing for Wigan for some years.
