... that Liverpool are about to score their 1,000th Premier League goal?
This meaningless piece of information was mentioned on television during the derby as if it was an important milestone and it is all part of the revisionist program according to which football began at the start of the Premier League. Liverpool have been set up since 1892 and the most of the time has been spent in the top flight regardless of the name of the competition.
So why should anyone be interested in a meaningless statistics that only tell the part of the story that Premier League marketers want us to hear?

It would have been Steven Gerrards 100th goal for the club if he had scored, you gimboid.
As long as they aren't talking about Rafa's "Rotation", or as other people call it "having a squad". :)
@ anonymous: Erm...what has that got to do with my post? My point is that people who say that this is Liverpool's 1000th Premier League goal want to make you believe that football started with the Premier League. It has nothing to do with Gerrard or his century of goals.
I get your point Paul; its like when the pundits cant wait to remind us that we haven`t won the Pl and then in the next breath tell us that ferguson is closing in on our title record! bit of a contradiction! a championship is a championship, its just the name of the comp that got changed in a cosmetic exercise to launch sky
