The Champions League was a fluke - Liverpool won't do that again for a long time. The Super Cup? I don't rate that and Liverpool won't win the league next year. You're right about the FA Cup though.

And we used home-grown players. Plus we didn't buy instant success.

Yes, but it's not
quite what I'm saying though is it? Chelsea bought their success, they didn't fight for it over a number of years, they just brought in a sugar daddy, offered a top manager an unlimited transfer pot and bought top players (and discarded the ones who didn't work, like Wright-Phillips, Veron etc and wrote them off as 'expenses') whereas United did exactly the same as what we've been doing for years.
