As we remember, in 2008/09 an underdog LFC team led by Rafa Benitez took the most dominant United side ever to the wire for the title. A Macheda goal, and a wrongly disallowed goal for us was all it took to separate the two.

Here are those players wishing us for the title win-
Lucas Leiva๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท, Martin Skrtel๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ, Steven Gerrard๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ and Sami Hyypia๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ.
Fernando Torres๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ, Dirk Kuyt๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ, Fabio Aurelio๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท and Andre Dossena๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น (who isn't on social media at all).
Daniel Agger๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ, Yossi Benayoun๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ, Javier Mascherano๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท and Jamie Carragher๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ .
Ryan Babel๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ, Nabil El-Zhar๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, Philipp Degen๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ and Jay Spearing๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ.
Emiliano Insua๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท, Pepe Reina๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ, Jermaine Pennant๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ and Martin Kelly๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ (Whose Crystal Palace allegiance is probably stopping him from tweeting something but he's liking all the content anyway).
Alvaro Arbeloa๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ retweeting, Manager Rafael Benitez๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ and a special shout to Stephen Darby๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, local Liverpool boy and member of that squad, sadly diagnosed with the terminal MND. Apparently not on social media. #YNWA
Nothing from Diego Cavalieri, Albert Riera or Robbie Keane yet. Damien Plessis is not on social media. Xabi Alonso is late with his posts so one from him must be coming.

This is just for a bit of nostalgia & remembering a team that came so close and which shouldn't be forgotten.
