A call to Liverpool supporters: Share your views on the league title triumph.
Fan Tributes and Memories
Joel shares, “This win means so much to Liverpool fans – mostly for being able to celebrate with each other. I grew up with my uncle Nick telling me tales of the glory years, yearning for them again. He’s sadly no longer with us, but to finally see the scenes he spoke of has warmed my heart – this one really does mean more.”
Gary Neville’s Reaction to Liverpool’s Achievement
Liverpool match Manchester United on league title wins for the first time since 2011. Here’s what Gary Neville said before the match:
This should cause tremors at Old Trafford. It’s painful. Being honest with you, I don’t want to be here today. But you have to be here because the reality of it is you’ve got to be gracious when you’re a Manchester United player, when you’re a Manchester United fan, when you’re a Liverpool player or Liverpool fan and congratulate the other team whether it’s City, Liverpool, Arsenal, United. Whoever wins the league you’ve got to be gracious and you’ve got to say what an achievement because it’s bloody hard to win it.
But it’s painful. It’s been painful for the last 10 years because Liverpool and Manchester City have been the most dominant teams.
All the great Liverpool managers and players and all the great Manchester United managers and players, the two most successful clubs in the country, would always say your bread and butter is the league title. And Manchester United had won more than Liverpool up until two hours, three hours’ time. And that’s where you could keep these sorts of arguments alive around who’s the most successful club. The minute that Liverpool go level with Manchester United on league titles, because they’ve won more European Cups, that debate is over for a period.

What Could Have Been: Salah’s Near Miss in 2014
“The club did everything they felt they possibly could to get a deal but it wasn’t to be.”
That’s Brendan Rodgers in January 2014, the then Liverpool manager disappointed because he couldn’t get his man: Mo Salah had gone to Stamford Bridge.
It’s a great what-if. If Salah joins then, does he help Liverpool get over the line that season? Or did he need that stumbling period at Chelsea, followed by the resurgence in Italy? Anywho, it’s worked out pretty nicely.
