    I LOVED Actua Soccer!

    Barry Davies and Brooking. What a combo!

    And my personal favourite was the replays when you scored a goal would give a little hawkeye projection of it telling you how far out it was and the speed! Don't see that on FIFA 11!

    "That's all you can say about that piece of football from a talented, talented footballer. Absolutely unsaveable. Absolutely magnificent." Andy Gray on Thierry Henry vs United.

    My preferred bit of commentary from that game is "What must Lothar Matthaus be thinking? Well, with the greatest respect, who cares?" Classic Tyldesley <ok>

    The obvious they think it's all over comes to mind as well, but not as good as "It is only twelve inches high... It is solid gold... And it undeniably means England are the champions of the world." when Moore lifted the trophy.

    +1
    +2
    +3
    +4

    Most Utd and Liverpool fans don't even care. Uber yawn.

    my opinion is that, in true american football commentating fashion, the fella has tried to copy a phrase in english that he has heard once "ooohhh what a cracker" or something like this, realised that doesn't make any sense in American English, and tried to transpose it into a sentence that at least makes sense to him on the spur of the moment... whether it actually makes any sense is not relevant to him at that point.

    That list includes charity shields,the ''We played teams nobody has heard of cup'' you won in 2008 and super cups plus 2nd divisions.
    The ones that count are
    Liverpool Man United.
    The League 18 19 .
    The European Cup. 5 3
    The FA Cup 7 . 11
    The UEFA Cup/CWC 3 1
    The League Cup. 7 4

    Total 40 38.

    So the bad news is for you lot. Liverpool remain Englands most decorated club.

    but you see, its all a matter of perspective. example, i wouldn't count the uefa cup. It's just that it is easier to win that than the champions league and you have to be outside the top 4 to be entered in it.
    Then again i don't want to get into this debate, so let's just leave it?

    So if you aren't going to include the UEFA Cup, you cannot include the CW Cup or the ''We played teams nobody has ever heard of Cup''.
    Liverpool still are the most successful.
