Here’s 10 things you wouldn’t have known about Liverpool-United matches till you saw today’s. Well, you might still not know some of them, but you’d at least suspect them.
- Rafa’s good at Math. He knows that if United are the champions above everyone else, and he beats United, then he’s the champion. Simply put, if A>B, and B>C, then A>C. The Premier League is commutative.
- Scholes has lateral inversion issues. He short-plays back-passes and overhits long balls. He needs Amir Khan to get all Taare Zameen Par on his ass.
- When Rooney and Berbatov are anonymous, Valencia finally emerges as the best player on the pitch. Suddenly he’s very Ussain Bolt in his pace, and very Berbatov in his first touch. Also, he hits the cross-bar at the most crucial time.
- Even when he’s used only as a substitute, Nani cannot emerge as the best player on the pitch. When the ball is at his feet, he needs an eon to think what to do with it. And then an eon to actually do it. By then Torres has completed two 100 meter sprints up and down the touchline.
- Speaking of, Torres passed a late fitness test declaring him eligible to play and a late sex test declaring him eligible to… well, be a him. I mean, he looks like a girl, he dives like a girl, he trips over himself and then cries. He’s also incredibly light, like a girl. Or an elf.
Jamie Carragher is a f***ing disgrace. Not only should he have been sent off, he has the nerve to go and say it was Owen who tripped him, and not vice versa. Senile old bastard.- Vidic and Mascherano are having an affair. That’s why they make it a point to always leave early when the two teams are playing.
- This does not mean Liverpool are going to win the league. They did this twice last season and they still couldn’t, so I’m sure we’re all clear on that.
- Beachballs are infinitely trippy. Most of United’s bad passes were because they were cracking up every time they saw a beachball on the pitch. Which was plenty of times.
- When Liverpool are chanting ‘Three in a row’, they mean the number of wins over United. When United are chanting the same, it’s the number of championships.
That’s about as positive a spin as I can put on that performance by United. Till Old Trafford!
I think “Three in a row” is abt Manja Vidic
During our trips to anfield in the past few seasons we have been very lucky, probably we are paying for that lil bit of extra luck now. Anyways, a player like fletch, hargo was sorely missed. Without them their midfield kinda overran us. Playing Ando instead of scholes cud have made a world of difference.
The Scouse,
His Judgement cometh, and that right soon.
Well, Carragher did bring Owen down, but i still don’t think that was a sending off. One there were other people around them and two Owen wasn’t exactly headed towards the goal. His path was leading away slighta. Vidic was a straight red. But thankfully for the ref he was already carded and he just needed to give him another yellow and say see i maintained uniformity in my decision making and send him off anyway. I think the ref did a pretty ok job.
The Carrick challenge was not a penalty in any book as Fergie claimed. I think he should’ve just stopped with Yes, Liverpool were better and deserved to win.
Berba should have been sent off because of the way he tried to undress Kuyt. I mean, atleast buy the guy dinner first!
not sent off
i meant carded
