No la , I think after seing those faxes , he rushed immediately to the hardware stores to order his regular cups and saucers , plus some ketchup and chlli sauce , of course some black kiwi to polish up his Bally shoe , just in case those MU players want to get his throwings of cup and saucers and his favourite booting ! ( ask Beckham )

I also heard Ferguson stepped up diving, drama and debate (3Ds) lessons during Man Utd's training sessions...

as an Everton fan, i am torn between hoping that man u slip up in third place and liverpool reman as far back as possible.
but certain rivalries cannot die, i shall go for the latter.
-
i'm still waiting for that all-out brawl to happen when C Ronaldo dives with no one within 10 metres of him, and then Ruudy van, not wanting to be outdone, dives at the dugout and demands the manager of the other team be red-carded...
which will start the aforementioned brawl... and somewhere, a ref cracks and tells the FA that MUFC has been bribing all the officials...
all the far-weather MUFC fans abandon "their" team and start pummelling the MUFC fans (a 100-1 fight)...
pandemonium breaks loose, Funguson pulls out a gun and tries to shoot Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger even when they weren't there...
and MUFC goes into receivership after being forced to be relegated to the 3rd division
one can dream right?Originally posted by JLennon:as an Everton fan, i am torn between hoping that man u slip up in third place and liverpool reman as far back as possible.

If Man U wins tomorrow, it'll be with their hands/referee, not their legs/heads/brains....
I'm still betting Mike Riley is the ref. Anywhere can bet or not? -
haha..... my dream is very simple. i just like to see Everton's name above Liverpool after the last game of the season.Originally posted by the Bear:i'm still waiting for that all-out brawl to happen when C Ronaldo dives with no one within 10 metres of him, and then Ruudy van, not wanting to be outdone, dives at the dugout and demands the manager of the other team be red-carded...

liverpool 0 manchester united 1.
i must say this is a very fair result. liverpool did not deserve to go away with even a point today.
even until now, i still couldnt comprehend the reason behind why dudek avoided that shot. apparently, there was no player blocking his view and there was more than enough time for him to anticipate rooney's attempt. he didnt even stretch his hands for crying out loud!!
but that didnt got me completely disgusted. the overall team performance did.
even against chelsea and arsenal, they put up with a decent fight.
none of the players couldn string a proper pass among themselves and even with 10 men down, manchester's players seem to play with 12 men. somehow or rather, it was always a manchester player near every loose ball.
the starting lineup got me pondering as well, big time.
"never change the winning team" is a common quote that comes with a reason.
carragher and hyypia were pretty dominating in front of dudek for the past few games and i dont see why is there a need to throw in pellegrino, who is less than 10 days old at anfield, to needlessly fill one of the most crucial positions.
as much as i would like to see morientes in action, i find his team mates having problem reading his style of playing and vice versa just yet, which is more damaging than contributing.
it is like you're having a important business presentation tmrw and you are installing windows ME over windows 98, just because its a newer platform.
togther with fine performance from manchester united and liverpool shooting themselves in their foot, the away team walk away with three points deservingly. -
An 11 men Liverpool struggles against 10 men Man Utd.
All fingers will be pointed at the Slippery Pole on tomorrow papers.
After watching the second half, I guess the whole of Liverpool team have to be blamed.
They have somehow loses the conviction and fighting spirit.
Only Baros is the player that is moving around the 6-yard box.
Even Stevie have taken a day off.
Man Utd deserves the victory for fighting every loose ball, even to the extent of sending off.
Just starting to question the commitment and skill shown by the spanish import.
Are these foreign talents making an impact or they are just plain ordinary players ???
Maybe Ah Ben started with the wrong tactics.
I am very very very sad. -
in reply to the topic header, it has been one of the biggest frustrations of the season for me.
my gf commented that my face cramped for more than 3 hours. -
i love to see liverpool fans posting so much things here, and end up the team losing
-
dont count the chicken before the egg hatches.
i always try to keep mute until the final minute, even when i saw ferdinard outta the initial namelist. -
such a disappointing result. haizzzz liverpool clearly didn't deserve to win. They played real real bad today. i just hope they'll pick themselves up again and don't dwell on this loss.

What's the problem brothers ?
It's not the end of the Rafa revolution , it's just the beginning .
It's a bad result , no doubt , but comparing last year and this year , this line-up is our best , excluding Dudek .
I can see Rafa was furious at that mistake by Dudek , he kept jotting down notes , Dudek's days at Anfield are numbered i guessed .
Morientes played well , the only problem , he doesn't seem to click with his new team mates .
Pellegrino has also got a good game in that position , the defense is alright , except again , that mistakes !
You don't make this sort of mistakes in EPL , you will be punished !
Aiya , that fourth seems to be quite a distance away , but well , we'll keep working for the next three points . -
Face it, Morientes is not going start banging in goals for LFC right at the start... He's not Ruud... Liverpool is nothing without Stevie or Xabi... When Stevie takes a day off (like today), LFC plays badly... Come on, LFC cannot afford to let Stevie play hero every match... Even heroes have limits...
BTW, I am a Man Utd supporter and I am proud of supporting them, not a fair-weather fan. What LFC now needs to is to add in physicality into their game, not only flair and style, which comes as a free gift from Spanish imports. -
All thanks to Jerzy Dudek la again it's him , correct MU fella ?
-
We have a chance to score , if not for that glory hunter Garcia .
He got the ball , and Baros is free on his right , yet he ballooned the ball . If he unselfishly laid the ball into Baros' path , who knows what will happen next .
Garcia seemed to hold the ball too long at times , and lost possession with some physical challenge from those opponents , he need to be stronger .
One Josemi , two Garcia , three Nunez are keeping us wondering at times , are they really suitable for the EPL ?
Only Alonso seem to be our best signing so far . -
Well, as the Straits Times said today, its all about mistakes and how you capitalise on it. Man Utd capitalised on Dudek's but LFC nvr capitalise on their 1-man advantage.
LFC, time to change your g/king coach. He is screwing up your goalkeys.
That's all I m going to say. Cheers to Wayne Rooney and the rest of the team who gave their best, like Wes Brown. -
Wes Brown is a Liverpool fan...
-
I guess, we got a little lucky there...
Dudek helped our course...
seriously, i never expected that rooney shot to go in...
seems like dudek is our 12th player... seems like he's always making mistakes in games vs Man Utd.
a pity that the roy keane screamer din go in...
3 points nonetheless and i'm a relieved man...
