Exactly...

Even if we make it to the final this year against say Liverpool, it would mean a lot more to Liverpool fans than us.

I would say that winning the Worthington Cup and nothing else in a season is a poor season by our standards.

on the otherhand Liverpool would see it has a sucess - thats the difference between our expectations and Liverpools.

What's even more amusing is that a lot of their younger supporters weren't even born or were in nappies when Liverpool were winning titles, yet they are the first to spout out their success in the past - I mean it must have been a great experiance for them ;)

(apart from the Worthington Cup of course)

I'm wondering whether Pool fans even know we've entered a new century yet or whether they're permanently stuck in the 70's with their bad perms :-D

The past is such a great thing to look back on, what a shame the present can't be the same.
