Manchester United vs Liverpool matchday thread

Chelsea 4th best team in the world, but only 5th best in England

 

Fantastic. Must have taken you ages. Well done!

 

An interesting source that aswell.

Must be jealous that no one cares when Chelsea have a game.

 

I wouldn't get over-confident about Sunday. As the Black-eyed Peas said, I've got a feeling.....................................

 

The black eyed peas also said 'Shut Up'

 

I almost dread this game nowadays, it certainly isn't one I look forward to anymore. There's too much **** attached to it.

The reality is we should win, we're a better team. Comfortably, regardless of the fact that Liverpool have world class players in every position and the best young manager in the world of course, we're still better.

Doesn't turn out like that though, just like in the 80's when we were **** and Liverppol were way better we tended to nick this one.

I still go for us to win by the odd goal though, probably 2-1.

 

That was the Beatles.

 

I never lookk forward to this fixture either.

I can't even watch it in my local either as the are too many LFC 'fans' (who have never been to Anfield) who celebrate like they have won the lottery if Liverpool win. I mean tops off, waving it round their heads etc.

Absolute bellends.

I rather watch it at home now, shouting at the TV.

 

I'm hoping those beams of yours are firing you never seem to do well when they are!

Very rarely go to the pub to watch United now, although I did for the Swansea game because my fecking ticket fell through last minute. I'm also off the sauce.

It's quite refreshing now that the people of Swansea have started to support Swansea now that they're good, instead of latching themselves on to Liverpool, United and the very plastic Chelsea hangers on!

Playing golf sunday morning which means I'll get home just in time for kick off, how much I get to sit down and concentrate on depends on whether the weather is looking good, in which case we'll have some food and go out, or not.
If it's good to go out we will, this takes priority over football now. She might do me the favour of taking the kids out for me though if I ask nice, I've already said I would have kids and dogs Saturday so she can go shopping with her Mum so she, unknowingly, owes me one.

 

My wife doesn't cut me much slack but she knows that if United are on, I'm watching them. Now that the boy wants to watch the game as well there really is no point in her even trying to argue or sulk.

 

It used to be like that with me, I used to plan holidays around games. Never missed a second of a game.
She's often sat and read a whole book while sat in some bar in some European city for hours while I waited for a champions league game to start!

Now I've slackened my grip I don't get given that much consideration, we've got two rooms with tv so I put it on in one and hope I don't get disturbed. My eldest isn't interested either, more's the pity.

Hopefully she'll plan to meet one her mates and kids for the afternoon. I really won't mind V+ ing this one though.

 

I agree that it's not fun waiting for this fixture and even during the game it's just too tense, I only seem to get any enjoyment if we win after the game.

 

Yeah, big massive **** off IF though, eh?





More likely a when in our case.

 

Havent decided if i am watching this game..

I am not so confident we will win. we should win but that doesnt count. I have a bad feeling saurez will score a few so as long as RVP bags a few and hernandez chips in we should do it..

Have to say they pose more of a threat with Sturridge now also.. he scored a good goal the other day.

 

i'm sky plusing this, i can't bear the tension, also it'll be enjoyable if we win.

 

Do you win something for being fourth in your made up little table?

Nah, thought not.

The reality this is 1st v mid table of the premier league so we win, yay!

 

yeah it would be tough, as long as we play like how we played them last season at home when we beat them 2-1, have the ball more then them, make sure the atmosphere is on our side and attack, we should be able to beat them. We should attack through Antonio Valencia and Rafael, their left-back ain't very strong.

Rooney being out is a massive blow. that's a shame.

but we will score with Van Persie in the team, the league's best striker at the moment.

it will be tough but we are much better team then them, as long as we concentrate and play great and create chances, we'll win. Believe

 

what do u guys hope the defense partnership should be?

i think it would be Evans and Ferdinand because i don't think Vidic is ready for a this yet, and hopefully we don't risk Vidic because we need him fully match fitness and get his form back before real madrid game
