    I have contributed to the plague myself tbf ...but it seem its alot of liverpool fans doing there best to lock man utd match day threads these days

    I can see the forum being locked soon enough

    i'm sorry, but think back to Feb or whenever Rafa's "rant" was. United fans beside themselves with laughter. Images, Gifs, Posters . . . the hilarity was endless.
    Fast forward to April - the shoe's on the other foot. Most reasoned neutrals think Ferguson is acting like an idiot. Some people say so. United fans have kittens. Yes, so many jibes at Sir Alex. Poor Sir Alex, when will his misery end. When he stops acting like a twat maybe. Benitez isn't an innocent party by any means. But he's come out of this a lot better than Alex has.
    Rafa's reputation has been greatly enhanced in the last few months. I'm not so sure about Fergie's.
    You've basically openly admitted to Liverpool bashing. Maybe if you're not going to contribute positively to the forum don't do so at all. It's interesting that those who i'd consider the more reasoned and fair United fans (though like any fans they have their healthy dose of partisanship) - PHB, Mitch to name but two - have wisely and to their credit stayed clear of this trainwreck of a thread.
    I only wish i had such strength.

    Your double standards are incredible as pointed out by Monkey9 earlier in this thread.

    In fairness. Read the thread that was quoted and then try and defend yourself. You can't have a go at this "venemous" thread and "United bashing" posters and ignore what you've posted in the page linked.

    Denis, is it just my posts offend you? You seem a very sensitive boy altogether. Get over it.

    TBH if it was a debate neither sets of fans would have won. But the liverpool fans have conducted themselves far better than your good selves.

    And yes I am a neutral in this thread ie: i dont support utd or pool.

    You have 95 posts in the Liverpool superthread this season, that is more than 'hardly in there'. I have most certainly never contributed to getting a Utd match thread closed (my comments in the latest ones were just refuting erroneous points made by yourself when the thread was already terminal).

    Dear God. :rolleyes:

    How many games more have United played than Chelsea, they also have 7 left in the league opposed to nearly everyone else having 6.
    And? Surely a super dupper massive club like man u can handle a big run in. No?

    What utter twaddle.

    Hate to break it to ye Scouse fans, but Liverpool arn't anywhere near Uniteds main rivals this season.

    We have to play Arsenal 3 times, including the semi finals of the biggest competition of them all, Chelsea for me are still the danger in the league, they are looking the real deal under Hiddinck, and could potentially be up against United again in the final of the CL.

    Liverpool had their chance this year, out of all cup competitions early, fair play to the merseysiders, 5 points ahead in the league now coming into the last few games potentially 4 points behind.

    It was only 6 weeks ago that fans were calling for Rafas head - I agreed with them, the prospect is another failure of a season, 3rd in a row, as someone mentioned he would not survive at any other top club, but for some reason the Scouse celebrate mediocroty and give the Spaniard a 25 million pound contract.

    Heads in the F'ing sand, sad really.

    Houlier officially becomes more successful than the Spaniard when Liverpool fail in the league.
    Oh ffs. Funniest post of this thread IMO. And that's saying something. Worried are ya :pac:

    Some of the sh1t in this thread is rediculous.

    Benitez has definitely got to Ferguson IMO, if it was a different team and manager Ferguson would of put out a stronger team yesterday, his sole aim now for this season seems to be beating Liverpool. When he looks back on it during the summer he could regret it.

    I think the Pool Fans have got to the United Fans here, United Fans are cracking up indeed. ;)

    I have to say as United fan having not contributed to this thread much, its funny to look at it from the outside a little.

    This is one of those crazy SF threads.

    I don't see how it makes a difference anyway... sure most Liverpool fans seem to be saying that they don't believe they'll win the league, does that make them bad fans or something? :confused: Chong didn't think we'd win the match, nothing wrong with that.

    so you didnt say that Fergies rant was in response to media questions?
    I wasn't talking about Fergie's rant in the past week. I was talking about the stuff Fergie said on the lead up to Rafa's rant in January. Which, as far as I know, was in reply to question put towards him. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
    Mr Alan wrote: »
    you didn't say that Ferguson's rant was not malicious?
    Again I was talking about the comment's leading up to Rafa's rant.
    Mr Alan wrote: »
    you didn't imply that Rafa's were?
    Yes I did imply that Rafa's rant in January was malicious compared to the comments that Fergie had said leading up to Rafa's rant.
    Mr Alan wrote: »
    the below quote would indicate you did. all of which is untrue, and in fact, the total opposite. only one rant was malicious & it wasn't Rafas.

    Again that quote was from me talking about the comments Fergie made leading up to Rafa's rant.

    I apologise if I didnt make myself clear when I was saying all this the first time.

    I fully agree that Fergie was in the wrong in his recent rant and here is a quote from a post I made earlier today to show how I felt about it at the start of this.
    I dunno what United fan's your talking about because I for one amn't cracking up.

    I think Ferguson is an idiot for saying the things that he has. His thing about Rafa being arrogant was just stupid and pulled completley out of his and Sam's collective arse.

    I just wish they would all stop. Specially SAF cause he is such a great manager and at the moment he really is nit picking at Rafa.

    He obviously doesnt like the man and it has to be more than just because he's the Liverpool manager.

    It's just annoying to see one of English footballs greatest managers behave like this and I don't want him to be remembered for acting like a schoolyard bully with other managers.

    I think we should keep this thread and treat it like a creche.

    It seems to be keeping the arguments about United and Liverpool out of the other threads. Im all for it.

    Hey, why do you think I'm happy to let is stand? :D

    On a general note, if there are United fans pissed off that SAF is taking a hammering here then can I suggest that you don't read the thread? If it's adult debate you want, there's plenty of opportunity to contribute elsewhere on the forum, this thread was never going to be the most cerebral, but it keeps all of the childishness confined to one space and allows the matchthreads and superthreads to exist without trouble.

    And to the Liverpool fans enjoying this whole thing: the same will apply to you if or when things go wrong for your manager.

    Lads, I reckon there's alot of you 'cracking' up to be fair,'Pool and United fans alike.
    I guess if you enjoy petty squabbling fair enough but for me this is the best part of the season and we hopefully have a real exciting climax to the season ahead.
    I don't think anyone would swap the Pool/United rivalry we have,it's part of why we all love this game,would it not be better for all if we concentrated all this energy on some healthy discussion and some lively debate instead??





    I do realise this may be an impossible dream :pac:

    just shows the pressure is getting rafa if he need needs an advisor

    So apparently questioning someone's mental health is not on (or at least not on when it's Ferguson's mental health; Rafa is fair game of course but that goes without saying :rolleyes:), but comparing Rafa to a borderline xenophobic negative stereotype is fine?

    Yeah. Some of the comments made by United fans in here have been ridiculous and obviously just trying to annoy the pool fans but really making themselves look stupid.

    I love the rivalry. I have the "pleasure" of being the only United fan in my imediate group of friends. :rolleyes:

    It is annoying at times though but what can ya do. It's only a game at the end of the day lads. One in which we pretty much have no control over.
    So enjoy the wins and survive the losses. ;)
