Livpool fans claiming 20 Premiership Titles.

Interesting read this

"In our latest peek behind the walls of Anfield’s famous museum, curator Stephen Done tells us why we’ve won more than 18 league titles. Ask any Kopite how many League titles Liverpool Football Club have won and 99 times out of 100 they'll tell you it's 18. It's widely regarded as the record number of championship triumphs in England, but in actual fact, we've won 20. We won one in the First World War and another one in the Second World War. It's generally accepted that you are not really supposed to count those, but I know there are some clubs that are starting to include them in their honours list. Whether you add them to the other 18 or not - the fact is that Liverpool have won two other championships. Need proof of that? Well, in the museum we have the Championship trophy from the 1942-43 season. It's from the North Championships Second Round competition. It may sound a bit complicated, but what it basically means, is that England was split up into the North and South to cut down on the amount of travelling. They cut the fixture list in half too, because there was a fear that England may have been invaded and they weren't sure whether they would be able to complete a full season. In some ways it sells the players short to discount them from the overall number of titles. The games were being played in very dark times under the shadow of war and so they were hardly taking it easy. The trophy is quite modest in size because resources were very scarce, but it was regarded as something of morale-booster to have something to play for. I'm rather fond of it and if our rivals start to get too close then I suppose we could start to count the 20, couldn't we!? Taken from Liverpoolfc.tv" So would we look like sado's if we accepted the truth? Or should we keep history as we know it to be? Its tricky one aye, clubs across the country apparently have added WW1 WW2 honours to their official trophy list now, so should we?

I don't know how to react to that TBH. But we will be a force next season. The King has returned and since his arrival we are only behind United and Chelsea. He is destined to take liverpool back to their glory days....

Ok I couldn't find this anywhere on lfc.tv. Anyways its just some fan clutching at straws. They can't accept the fact that united have finally overtook us in terms of league titles, just like united fans who can't accept the fact that even after not winning the league title for 20 years, liverpool still are the most successful club in english football.

^Thats another thing But claiming titles in the Years when Premiership was Suspended is completely different. Looks like United 19th title have left Pool fans traumatised.

Man Utd are the best side in the country at the moment and if they keep it up, they will be the most successful club in the history.. Lets win a few, then start talking again..
