Since Liverpool last won the league………..

Liverpool was once the most dominant force, not only in the English domestic circuit but also in Europe following on from where Sir Matt Busby and his famous European Cup winning Manchester United team left off in 1968.

Under the likes of legendary managers such as Bill Shankly and Bob Paisely, Liverpool won the English First Division title, as it was called then, a staggering 11 times between 1973 and 1990.

But since then, the club has only gone downhill in terms of their domestic success and although they have had sporadic success in the European circuit and the domestic Cups, it has been 23 years since they won the league the last time.

Here’s a look at the changes the world has gone through since Liverpool last won the league:

The biggest football clubs broke away from the football league to form the Premier League.

The Soviet Union has broken up, spawning a number of independent nation states.

The Berlin Wall has come down and East and West Germany have been reunited.

Nelson Mandela has been released from prison, been elected as the president of South Africa and retired from office.

Plastic fans sing “Next Year is our Year” instead of that famous chant “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

David De Gea, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling have all been born and have played for Manchester United against the Scousers.

Ryan Giggs has played 1,000 career games for Manchester United and has won the league twelve times.

Pink Floyd has been bankrupt and reimbursed by the British government.

Apple and Blackberry have gone from being just fruits to devices in people’s pockets.

Manchester United have knocked Liverpool off their perch.

Manchester City and Chelsea have won the league.

So, for all you Liverpool fans out there, you can sing “Next Year is our Year” to your heart’s content but still you won’t win the league unless the teams on top undergo a dramatic slide – in short, there is a miracle.

PS. I am a Red and I hate Scousers!!!
