I hope Dalglish is having a good plan for Downing later on... Yesterday's squad
seemed 90% complete enough to beat Chelsea... Gerrard, Henderson and
Shelvey conquering the midfield like their own park... Three midfielders to
outnumber Chelsea and make life is hard for Torres. Cant wait to urinate them
in the mouth at Wembley. "Enslave the Blues... Enslave them you Mighty
Reds!!" (Talk this in an Optimus Prime voice). "Enslave them!!" What a day to
have a hat trick!!!

quote:

I cant... Im not English by race and English is my second language... Plus my
grammar and verbs are bad... First time I registered in RAWK years back, its
quite difficult to understand the language usage here... Imagine, when I just
started browsing this site for the first time and the wording used here - I saw
something like c*nt, c*nt, c*nt and "inbred Mancs"... I was like "what the gently caress
these Scousers were talking about". Why use the symbol/character "*" in the
word of "c*nt"? Then I did some Google and found it in Wikipedia: "C*nt is
a vulgarism, primarily referring to the female genitalia. The earliest citation of
this usage in the 1972 Oxford English Dictionary" , resource: Wikipedia...

My heart was talking to myself, "Was I just joined a wrong forum to talk about
Liverpool's football? They were talking about female genitalia to be honest" ...
Then I was spending some time to understand you all, research your culture
and found out the revelation from the God. What kind of English is this, why
use the "inbred" to the Everton and Mancs??!! Its quite difficult for me because
in my job as a programmer and web developer at office, Im just using the
technical English, the US English in software development...

So when I came here, I was like a Martian who loving lost in a Scouser's world. But then I
realized, Scousers are a good people, nice people and always welcoming the
secondary Scousers DNA... That is why I love you all... You all are my friends...
But again, I cant... Im not English by race and English is my second language... Thats all.

I remember a match between Liverpool v Sunderland (I think) at Anfield, where there was something like 26-0 shots on target.

Ended 0-0, of course.

Arsenal Barca had 0 shots for the Arsenal, they still scored though which is more impressive I guess

You can't really blame them for not shooting when the one time they had a shot the player got sent off for it.

I have to say I was quite shocked by just how poor Unitehd were. If you look deep down into Yaya's pocket you will find a little ginger fella from Oldham. Seriously was Scholes even on the pitch? Giggs, for once, looked his age. Rooney's only agenda for the game seemed to be getting Kompany sent off, and as for Welbecks 720 roll over when infringed by De Jong....woeful.

Manchester never really got out of third gear, and but for some profligacy in front of goal, the scoreline could have resembled another half-dozen thrashing. Ferdinand and Smalling looked as if they had never met each other. But the crowning glory of last night was Sir Bacon Face embarassing himself on the touchline. There was to be no Unitehd goal followed by customary goading of opposition fans last night. Manchester need to carry this form forward and go on and win the title now.






Scholes ran around like a small kid in the school playground, as he has tended to do for most of his career in big games. The art of finding space and time against West Bromwich is completely different to finding space and time against some of the top clubs in Europe. Add to that his customary and clumsy fouling, and one wonders how anybody has the audacity to compare his career to that of Xabi and Iniesta.








I think it was the poor United that is the real story. Even if they go on to win the title they will have been seen to fail when the real challenge is on. It has made one decision easier for Hodgson. Don't take Rooney. He can't play half the Euro games anyway so he will be short of match practice. He has shown time and time again that although he can score great goals he is not a player who makes things happen in big matches.










Who would have thought a team that threw £200m at players would win the league? Someone asked me the other day if one day I would like to see my team back in the Premier League. With the current state of play involving whoever has the richest sugar daddy owner I would happily stay in the football league with real football and real fans.

As much as I hate Chelsea and the way they went around buying trophies at least they managed to win a few at a time. The fact that with two games to go City MIGHT win the league after spending all that money in an otherwise trophyless season is no achievement at all despite how much BBC laud them as a “team”.

...is all correct?

I like the unexpected twist this takes.

quote:

Mancini has so far outsmarted, destroyed and obliterated Ferguson at his own games, the mind games. He cranked the pressure up by saying Man Utd were favourites and you can see it in Ferguson and his players eyes that they are thinking "are we? I dont want to be, I dont know if we are" and this doubt has undermined them.

I would liken it to Streetfighter 2, Ferguson would win the 1st round (with Blanka) with a Perfect and would get concerned that he would actually win the next 1, but Mancini (Zangief) has upped the anti and battered him into submission, culminating in Ferguson rolling about 'seeing stars' and being finished by a spinning piledriver.
