We back tomorrow

Liverpool vs Man U early game

10/14/2011 1:35:36 PM

lebron noring james will be in attendance

10/14/2011 2:00:52 PM

No Nani, Hernandez, or Rooney for Man U

Is that an insult to Liverpool that SAF fielded the B team?

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 8:09 AM. Reason : they are struggling to get chances so far though]

Fuck that. I'd rather go to this game in my owner's box than have to deal with a bunch of raving lunatics still freaking out a team whose season ended three weeks ago.

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 8:20 AM. Reason : why did suarez turn back in to the defender there!]

10/15/2011 8:15:53 AM

u right he should have scored there

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 8:22 AM. Reason : .]

10/15/2011 8:21:26 AM

Lucas looks stinky

10/15/2011 8:31:38 AM

Just woke up a few mins ago...wtf is Ferguson doing with our 3 best attacking players on the bench?

Couple days ago he called this the biggest club fixture in the world....

10/15/2011 8:50:23 AM

At the very least I understand Chicharito after a late mid-week game in Mexico, but no Rooney is just plain weird. It's not like he's physically unable to go 90 to my knowledge.

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 8:52 AM. Reason : and Nani played like an hour plane ride away, didn't he?]

10/15/2011 8:52:03 AM

MIND GAMES

his tactics worked in the first half. If it's 0-0 when those guys come on, Pool's in trouble

10/15/2011 8:53:50 AM

Much better start to the second half. Opening up slightly.

10/15/2011 8:58:36 AM

I guess he thinks he'd rather try and win the game with them late than try and snatch 1 or 2 early and sub them. And surely Berbatov is more of a threat as a lone forward than Welbeck?

But with our next match coming against some club I've never heard of I think that's where you'd rest our big guns.

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 9:10 AM. Reason : Here come Wazza and Nani.]

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 9:11 AM. Reason : Boo Gerrard]

10/15/2011 9:00:41 AM

Boom, bitches.

LOL, Giggs.

10/15/2011 9:11:04 AM

wtf Giggs

10/15/2011 9:11:45 AM

lol. what the eff was giggs doing?

10/15/2011 9:11:50 AM

GERRRRRRAAAAAARDDDDDDD

10/15/2011 9:12:19 AM

fuck yesssssssssssss

10/15/2011 9:12:29 AM

also why the fuck was Young taken off and Giggs left on. Giggs has been shit today, even without the joke he just played in the wall.

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 9:23 AM. Reason : CHICHARITOOOOOOO]

10/15/2011 9:17:03 AM

Nice goal.

10/15/2011 9:25:01 AM

Season is still so young and De Gea's already had to make more saves than VDS did all last season practically.

10/15/2011 9:26:30 AM

would've been a fantastic game had United started with this lineup

10/15/2011 9:29:06 AM

God, Liverpool wasted like five glorious chances in the last 3 minutes.

[Edited on October 15, 2011 at 9:35 AM. Reason : manchester united shit]

10/15/2011 9:35:26 AM

De Gea was brilliant today. Giggs was criminal.

10/15/2011 9:38:21 AM

1-1 is a win for United considering how many chances Liverpool had. Henderson twice, Kuyt, Suarez... all legit goal scoring chances.

With that said, I was scared as shit for a good 10-15 minute spell after the Liverpool goal and United only had one real chance. That's when you know you're playing a good team.

10/15/2011 9:39:02 AM

I think Giggs just didn't want to get pegged in the nuts.

Welbeck was like, "WTF!"

10/15/2011 9:42:51 AM

I'm happy with the point. Even if you take away the freak goal from the freekick that shouldn't have been given Liverpool would have gotten a goal somewhere with the chances they were getting.

10/15/2011 9:43:35 AM

nah he got fouled

10/15/2011 9:47:05 AM

was a dive

10/15/2011 9:49:00 AM

nah

"was a dive"

Bullshit, and I could care less about either team. Rio was lucky not to pick up a second yellow. I think it would have been harsh, but he's still lucky.

10/15/2011 10:17:44 AM

not bullshit. contact doesn't mean foul, and that was a dive.

however, based on how cards were being handed out (and not handed out in the case of diving), you're right that it should have been a second yellow for Rio.

10/15/2011 10:27:41 AM

That was pretty -- even though he's a complete douche.

10/15/2011 10:29:10 AM

^
Yeah, that was nice.

^^
Fair enough, blanks.

10/15/2011 10:30:55 AM

Mario Bicyclotelli

10/15/2011 10:31:26 AM

Adam was going full speed so any contact was going to knock him off balance. He could have stumbled to try to regain balance but that's taking a risk Mariner wouldn't go back and call the foul. So I guess you can call it a dive in that regard - he's removing all doubt about advantage or not. Rio definitely fouled him.

10/15/2011 10:51:12 AM

I want to this link, but it's probably legit in this case.

10/16/2011 12:24:39 AM

I'll do it then.

10/16/2011 12:44:32 AM

:28 second goal for RVP

10/16/2011 8:56:03 AM

That Larsson goal was nasty though.

10/16/2011 9:18:09 AM

Yes, it was. And it was this season's Arsenal luck that they'd absolutely dominate play yet could very easily be down 2-1.

[Edited on October 16, 2011 at 10:10 AM. Reason : beaufiful RVP]

10/16/2011 9:33:24 AM

RVP!

10/16/2011 10:11:00 AM

Ok, so through all the injuries and the horrid start to the season, they are only 5 points shy of the last Champions League spot. Vermaelen is back in two weeks and Wilshere is back for the second half of the season so just hold on until then.

** and go Newcastle today

[Edited on October 16, 2011 at 10:27 AM. Reason : and I don't get why Oxlade-Chamberlain doesn't get more action in the EPL]

10/16/2011 10:24:43 AM

Thank you Ade!

Rafa delivers

1-0

10/16/2011 11:44:01 AM

Very much deserved...

10/16/2011 12:07:35 PM

This match is incredible.

10/16/2011 12:53:26 PM

I know he didn't initially know about getting it in the arm but he was basically holding it for a second there...

10/16/2011 12:56:01 PM

10/16/2011 9:57:48 PM

I chuckled

Quote :

"LONDON -- Some of the Premier League's foreign owners want to abolish the relegation and promotion system, a senior English soccer executive said Monday. With half of the Premier League's 20 clubs under foreign ownership, League Managers' Association chief executive Richard Bevan said if more teams are sold to overseas investors they could force a dramatic change to the rules. "There are a number of overseas-owned clubs already talking about bringing about the avoidance of promotion and relegation in the Premier League," Bevan said at the Professional Players Federation conference in London. "If we have four or five more new owners, that could happen.""

10/17/2011 1:56:36 PM

"Yes, Mr. Marriner. I'd like to play the race card. Suarez is just too damn good. Also, I'm mad."

10/17/2011 2:10:01 PM

So I read somewhere all he called him was a son of a bitch. Is that official, or as official as something like that can be?
