Ah, so you didn't see the game then.

Na I think not, we beat United yesterday comfortably as we played to the whistle not for a draw.

And of course United have something to remember this season by, remind again what Cup are they still in, oh yeah the FA Cup until Pompey put an end to that.



And unlike the glory hunting United Fans yes I did see the game as I was there at the Emirates.

If you have bothered to read any report of the match you will see comments made by Ferguson.
Well sorry, don’t tar us all with the same lame brush and if the documentaries were full of rubbish then they have no reason not to front up to the reporters if they have nothing to hide.

Although Sir Alex is probably too busy joining the fight to save Burberry in Wales as his Chav squad will have nothing fashionable to dress in.

No, Liverpool beat the Champions on Saturday - seems there's only one team that can win away at Anfield this season. Actually, make that two, Arsenal and Arsenal Reserves.

If by some miracle Man Utd had actually won the league recently, you'd be calling them 'champions' all season, United Boys. Give Chelsea that respect (and no more, they don't deserve it and are going to implode - what a shame they gave us Gallas and £5m for that **** Ashley Cole, who I note failed to do his job and close down that other **** Pennant on Saturday. Kerching, chalk another one up for Arsene).

As for overpriced players, our back four cost
Clichy - £250,000
Senderos - £1.3m
Toure - probably about £250,000
Eboue - £1.3m

Seems a pretty good deal, really, compared with Oops-There-Goes-The-Ball Rio Ferdinand.

fair play to Arsenal they didn't give up and we surrendered the ball to them too easily all the time

says alot about us that we prefer 35 yo Larsson to Saha up front and that great signing Park couldn't even make the bench
Love the park comment and exactly my point they played to the whistle and deserved what they got a win not trying to cling on to the point.

Again don’t tar us all with the same brush as I am in and out of thread win or lose, granted not so often recently as we have not lost since December.

Answer: nothing.
League cup is meaningless and as you say you get nothing for coming second so nothing to write home about there.

Ooh the bitterness is strong in you.

As you say again a nothing cup and coming second gets you nowhere.

Last season proves nothing as you lost more home games but were better away from home and scraped two more draws at home.

Not many teams can say we put an end to Liverpools home games at Anfield with the first team and the reserve team and imposed their heaviest defeat for over 77 years.
