Dortmund is a much more prestigious destination for young talent than Liverpool right now. The fact that you can't see that means you're blinded by your fandom. I don't even like Dortmund, their fans are annoying. However, I can recognize a great club.


You think the guy who hasn't been alive for a Liverpool league title is going to be star struck by past championships?

Liverpool may still be a year away from even qualifying for the Champions League - Dortmund was in the final last year and barely lost to an all time great team.


Dortmund's past transgressions have nothing to do with the present. We could bring up Liverpool splashing cash on Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing if you want.

Dortmund has shown an incredible sense for building and rebuilding a squad under Klopo, Watzke, etc. Lose Barrios? Lewandowski. Lose Sahin? Gundogan. Lose Kagawa? Reus. Lose Götze? Mkhitaryan. Plus they added Aubameyang who looks incredible.


I like Liverpool and the direction they're heading under BR, so this is disappointing that I even have to make this argument but come on man. Be realistic.

The fact of the matter is to everyone else but Liverpool fans, Dortmund is in a better position.

Most Liverpool fans agree with this.

That may change in the near future,

You're being blinded by your love for all things German. I never said Dortmund was shite, I actually really enjoy watching them play. I'm saying he had an opportunity to play for Liverpool and turned it down. In my mind he's not only not us now, he's the douche that spurned us. I understand why he chose them, but that doesn't mean I have to be nice about him on the internet. So yea, I'm a baby and all that shite. HM can still kiss my arse.

just want to praise the LFC store for a moment. on monday, i ordered the new home shirt printed with name and number. it came in today.

well, yea, now i do.

i didn't realize it was such a quick turnaround, especially with a name on the back. i think i ordered it monday around 6 p.m., so that would be midnight their time. i just expected it sometime next week, and was pleasantly surprised. hooray for me!

Well, while you're singing their praises I'll take a minute to show you the opposite side of the spectrum. When you go in to order a shirt for this season, they have a note that states that due to the athletic cut of the shirts this year they recommend you order a size larger than you would normally wear. Beast and I took their advice and when we received our shirts they were both entirely too large. At the time they were offering a free t-shirt which they automatically sent in the same size as whatever home or away shirt was ordered. Again, these t-shirts were worthless as they too were massive. I wrote an email to the online store and complained about their bullshite blanket sizing advice. Their response basically amounted to, "It was just our advice, you shouldn't have listened to us." They offered for me to pay to send the shirts back to them so that they could send the size I would've originally ordered had they not recommended otherwise. I have been a long time proponent of ordering directly from the club so that they receive the maximum profits from my purchase. However, I will never again order from their site and I will actively encourage other fans to seek better deals elsewhere. I'll always love the club, but their customer service is embarrassing.
