Liverpool: There's no bigger club in Premier League - Sturridge
Last updated on .From the section Football

Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge says there is no bigger club than Liverpool in the Premier League, ahead of Sunday's game against Manchester United.
The 23-year-old striker signed for the Reds on 2 January from Chelsea and has also played for current champions Manchester City.
"It is the biggest club I have ever played for," Sturridge told Liverpool's official website.
"In the Premier League, there is no bigger club than Liverpool."
Liverpool and United are the two most decorated clubs in the top flight.
In terms of league titles, United have 19 compared to Liverpool's 18, while the Merseysiders have five European Cup wins to the Old Trafford side's three.
Sturridge scored on his Liverpool debut as his new side beat Mansfield in the FA Cup and is grateful to Reds boss Brendan Rodgers for signing him.
"I thank the boss for giving me an opportunity to play for a club like this and I thank God for making it possible," added Sturridge.
"For the manager to pay money for me and to have faith in me and show everybody around the world that he is prepared to take a chance on me, I don't think I'll ever be able to repay him for that.
"As a young player, when you play for big clubs you can sometimes get caught up in it and you never get another opportunity to play for another big club.
"So I'm grateful the manager has given me this chance and that he believes in me. I'm just glad to be here."

The standard of reporting and story topics are becoming remarkably similar.
Why have they opened this up for comments, knowing the hatred between the 2 teams?
Is someone trying to get the moderaters some post xmas overtime?
Somethings going on.
Anyway, yes, Liverpool are of course a big club, with a great history not the biggest though, not by a long way.
A scenario seen in workplaces everywhere on a daily basis...NOT HEADLINE NEWS!!!
I could even make an argument for Spurs and Everton. One title and two cups prior to 1996 suggests that Chelsea were not exactly a sleeping giant before Abramovich arrived.

If Liverpool won the premiership next year you would immediately see from the reaction that they are still one of the bigger clubs in the world.
If MCFC won the premiership for the next 10 years they still wouldn't be considered as such.
However LFC can't rely on their history for much longer.
True story.
But given the number of stories the BBC open up to HYS and the number of comments they attract it would seem that Liverpool are still pretty big :-)
is a bigger name in boxing than Carl Froch but who would win now if they had a scrap. Liverpool are way bigger than Chelsea, Man city, but they are BETTER than Liverpool, NOT BIGGER
Who wouldn't big up their current employer. Just the same as any every-day job. He's not exacly going to turn around and say "yeah, you know... Chelsea were much bigger than Liverpool." was he!?
Boring, boring, boring non-story.

Good point but just watch you have used the word "Your" instead of You're, the trolls will ignore the main point you made and use that against you like they always do when they lose a debate
