When is One Better Than Three?

As the title suggests: When is one better than three?

When the One is a Champions League trophy that was won in the most memorable fashion in the history of the competition and the Three being the treble of the UEFA Cup (that's the Europa League these days), the FA Cup and the Worthington Cup (better known as the Carling Cup since 2003).

That's my personal view on the matter and I'd say it would be a safe bet to say that it's most Liverpool supporters' view on the matter too. But apparently, Jamie Carragher disagrees. If the comments came from anyone else, I would've easily written it off as sentimental, even delusional tripe but, seeing that it came from a man that has notched over 650 appearances for Liverpool, I would give him the benefit of the doubt and not judge his comments too quickly.

Anyway, it has long been speculated that Carragher was the player that texted Houllier to say this on Benitez's departure...



...he never beat you, Boss...

After his comments above, it's starting to become clear who sent the text to Houllier. And, while Carragher is talking about mathematical superiority, it's slightly ironic that his old gaffer got soundly beaten by a treble of goals at Anfield a few days ago.

In this case, three is better than one...
