Liverpool have had enough luck, not just in this game or this year but over the past few seasons in the champions league and i'm glad it's over, they are just a one trophy team, Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal could all do what they do in just concentrate on one trophy each season and do well in it which is all they do, they are nothing special and if anyone thinks they are they are dillusional. When they start challenging for more than one trophy i may change my views but at the moment i think Liverpool deserve to win nothing.

I don't think thats fair, you could say that United, or better yet Chelsea, have a massive amount of cash they can use to add depth and excellent players to their squad and completing at all against those teams is deserving of respect.
United have a habit of mixing a lot of products of their youth system with the occasional big spening. However, Chelsea are still a team and have reached their current high position because of the amount of money have came into. It's like playing Football Manager and cheating to get 150million to build a dream team.
Arsenal and Liverpool don't have anywhere near that money (or do, but don't) to spend on a star player in whichever position they are weakest. Liverpool have quite a good youth system, as do Arsenal who also have the ability to pick obsure but talented players.
I think a team that got to the semi-final of the Champions league, and 4th place in the Premiership is deserving of respect
