On the liverpoolfc.tv forums I noticed a forum post about a blog posted on the LFC website in 2008(reason why I won't post this as news, also it would be better suited for this)
"In our latest peek behind the walls of Anfield’s famous museum, curator Stephen Done tells us why we’ve won more than 18 league titles.
Ask any Kopite how many League titles Liverpool Football Club have won and 99 times out of 100 they'll tell you it's 18.
It's widely regarded as the record number of championship triumphs in England, but in actual fact, we've won 20.
We won one in the First World War and another one in the Second World War.
It's generally accepted that you are not really supposed to count those, but I know there are some clubs that are starting to include them in their honours list.
Whether you add them to the other 18 or not - the fact is that Liverpool have won two other championships.
Need proof of that?
Well, in the museum we have the Championship trophy from the 1942-43 season. It's from the North Championships Second Round competition. It may sound a bit complicated, but what it basically means, is that England was split up into the North and South to cut down on the amount of travelling.
They cut the fixture list in half too, because there was a fear that England may have been invaded and they weren't sure whether they would be able to complete a full season.
In some ways it sells the players short to discount them from the overall number of titles. The games were being played in very dark times under the shadow of war and so they were hardly taking it easy.
The trophy is quite modest in size because resources were very scarce, but it was regarded as something of morale-booster to have something to play for.
I'm rather fond of it and if our rivals start to get too close then I suppose we could start to count the 20, couldn't we!?" (Link - http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/n...
Do you think these should count towards our League titles, or just be not counted?
it would also make the Man utd fans have to get 21 titles to beat us :P
like the LFC blog post says "there are some clubs that are starting to include them in their honours list" so shouldn't we be able to include them?
intresting history lesson yes I think these should be counted.
but that does not change the fact that we ned to win the league again
This is just embaressing! Liverpool counting with a championship from 1942-43- in the middle of the second world war! People are out fighting for freedom, and Liverpool supporters counts this one in????
