Kenny - We Are Still The Kings

Kenny Dalglish insists Liverpool remain the 'best club in English football, if not the world.'

This came ironically after Liverpool's dramatic 1-1 draw at Arsenal pushed arch-rivals Manchester United close to the record breaking 19th league title.

The Liverpool boss insists that another title for United, which will see them move ahead of the Merseyside giants, would not have any impact on their own place at head of the English footballing table.

"Sadness? In my eyes we are still the best club in English football, if not world football, so I am not very sad at that," said the Scot.

"The surprise is that they [Liverpool] have not won the title for a long time, that is the surprise, but it's not sadness, it's just a fact of life.

"They never acquired enough points in any season since 1991 to win it.

"They came close a couple of years ago when Rafa (Benitez) went close, had a fantastic record against the so-called top four, but just couldn't get it over the line.

"It will be fantastic to get back there, but you need to hit the standards other teams have set.

"That is four games - United, [Manchester] City, Arsenal and Chelsea. We only dropped two points and that was here."
