There's NO WAY Owen can be called crap.

If they don't play for **** utd, then they is **** according to **** Utd supporters :p and plus that was a penalty but hey Fergie paid off the ref again. I see Nistelrooy was so desperate for a goal he had to resort to handballs

Russ · 09-11-2003, 21:50

And let me guess, both Giggs goals were offside.....

TigaSefi · 09-11-2003, 21:59

I love narrow mindedness, even when it is as a joke, really I do

People talk about him being nothing but pace, when in the truth he has lost a lot of of his speed over the last few years, he has bulked up. Next comes he is one footed (it's normally the next argument) he scored 40% of his goals last season with his left foot.

Then we have but he has never proved himself on the big stage, 20 goals a season for his club even when they have been playing ultra defensive for 3 seasons, an amazing scoring record for his country.

Any more?

Liverpool should have had a penalty, but they didn't, that's life, in all fairness if Mr H would take Heskey off the pitch any one of the other strikers on the team would have finsihed that one at the end.

It was an entertaining game, Dudek was bad and would think he will be bench warmer for a bit. Kewell was our best guy again, and Pongolle looked so exciting that I hate that he has to start on the bench while Heskey gets picked first choice strkier.

It's fortunate that G.Poll and not Mr Durkin was the ref. Did you see that appalling decision in the Chelsea v Newcastle game. I think it may just have been a penalty at Anfield and even Sir Alec thought a draw would have been a fair result.
Still a good 3 points though.

Edit. M Owen is a very good player BTW.

Was a good game. I was on tenderhooks after Liverpool equalised. Great tackle by Silvester on Murphy, lucky for us that Heskeys feet went from under him!

As for the penalty decision, nine times out of ten those are given.

You know I hate Man U fans a lot less lately, I have been chatting to loads that said they were lucky, or if it wasn't for hekseky being a donkey etc etc.

I must be feeling ill

No, I still hate the team, just a lot of the fans I have spoken to today and yesterday see almost human (almost). Maybe they are preparing to finish below Chelsea and Arsenal this year and making their excuses now

the only thing is owen scored 20 goals in the 20 games a season he regularly plays for liverpool....if he ever managed a full season instead of his normal half liverpool wouldnt be 9th in the league and taking another home beating they can ill afford.....also england would have one less regular injury worry.......no great player has ever spent half his career on the treatment couch as owen does (and yes i do like owen)

oh and it was me who slipped the ref the bung this week
