You don't here them at Old Trafford so I can't see the tossers doing much at Anfield.Big Boy wrote:Manure fans will be welcoming Liverpool on to the pitch to the chant of 99 red balloons on Saturday

Baa Baa, calm down, calm down. I suggested a while back your new name should be Grandfather clock, not because of your age but because you are so easy ti wind up.
Wow,you sound like a man under more pressure than Rafa Benitez !BaaBaa. wrote:We've got the perfect games to kick start it then haven't we.Zidane wrote:Lyon and Man Utd your next two games.....could make or break your season !
United have been awful this season but a fair few undeserved points have papered over the cracks.
The two man team strikes again. You would think Gods own team would beat us when we are 50% weaker.
United were dire last night....Berbatov and Ferdinand worse than that.The only plus point for United is the return of Van Der Saar in goal.
Liverpool werent much better.Torres clinical finish probably the main difference between the two teams.
Cant see either of them doing much in the Champions League if they qualify for the knockout stages....quarter finals,if they are lucky.
I reckon the Premiership title is for Chelsea to lose....then Arsenal and Citeh....United and Liverpool scrapping for that vital 4th place,maybe.

I agree it was a shocking game in terms of quality, but it was exciting. The form of Ferdinand is a real worry (for England) and not just for the way he was brushed off by Torres for the goal.
I did think the referee a tad inconsistent?
But what of the other contenders? Arsenal were having a Sunday stroll against the Hammers, but seem to have lost the killer instinct and as happens in football at every level, when you take your foot off the gas its hard to get going going again when you let the other teram back in. Wenger must be tearing his hair out.
Haven't seen the City game, but with Fulham having a tough europa game against Roma on Thursday and then finding themselves 2-0 down, can only guess City did an Arsenal?!
Spurs should have won convincly, but we all know what happens if you don't take your chances.
I said at the start I could envisage three London teams in the top four, I still wouldn't rule against it.

Messi, Xavi, Iniesta/Torres/Ronaldo is the top 3 for me.
Ballack???????????
and I can't say I watch to much Italian football but surely Buffon gets in on name alone.

Half of it's on name alone though.caller wrote:Bugger! Only five Chelsea players nominated!
Ballack????
Kaka has done nothing this year, Torres and Gerrard were injured for half of the season, I think Lampard was poor by his standards?
Alonso was the best midfielder in the premier league last year and won the European Championship but isn't even nominated. Odd.
