Arsenal can only get to 84 points this season as they finish runners-up so Liverpool remain the Premier League’s prettiest bridesmaids…
Everyone knows the story: Newcastle led the Premier League by 12 points in January of the 1995/96 Premier League season. Liverpool were in second, and Manchester United were in third. David Ginola, Peter Beardsley, Les Ferdinand and Philippe Albert formed part of one of the most exciting teams to ever grace England’s top flight. Kevin Keegan was their leader, triumphing over the evil that was Ferguson’s United, who were still aching from the drama a year earlier.
It didn’t help United that Wayne Rooney was their top league goalscorer with more than double the total of anyone else. Dimitar Berbatov was second with 12, followed by own goals on 11.Whatever your thoughts on Manchester United, their efforts in the 2007/08 season should be praised by all those involved in football.
The answers to each of the above have to be the latter. Luis Suarez was incredible in the 2013/14 season, but the Fernando Torres of 2008/09 was simply lovely. Brendan Rodgers was an affable but clearly talented goon when narrowly missing out on the title, but Rafael Benitez was the patently better manager. The more defensive Gerrard was not a patch on the version which pushed Liverpool to another level.
Kenny Dalglish’s Rovers owed much of their title to the ‘SAS’ strike partnership, with Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton plundering 49 of the club’s 80 goals between them. But despite their best efforts, Blackburn could never quite shake off the challenge of United, two-time reigning Premier League champions.
