    Well that's that. No FA cup run again this season.


    Sickening to lose to United, but we went down fighting and that was the first time that I have seen so much heart, effort, and fight from a Liverpool team this season.

    If we play like we did today against Blackpool and Everton then I will be pretty confident of maximum points.


    Big result and a nice feeling for United and their supporters today. They get to progress in the cup and do so by beating Liverpool.

    Rafael was the best player on the park imo.

    Very disappointed that one moment of dishonesty has decided it.

    Not a bad performance all things considered.

    Gerrard needs his head examined.

    Torres needs an Igor Biscan style kick up the arse.

    Howard webb wins it for united yet again. In all honesty the man can never be let ref another Liverpool united game, the dogs in the street can see how much he favours united.

    The FA need to wake up to whats going on.

    I doubt Kenny has had any impact in the 24 hours he has been boss!

    New manager bounce perhaps

    Youd be amazed the difference the likes of Konchesky could have made (not in a good way)

    I'd be embarrassed to be a united supporter after watching that.
    More embarrassed to be a Liverpool fan after that challenge my captain made.

    That's got to be encouraging from Liverpool's point of view, decent game, great 2nd half.

    Who, Gerrard? Yeah nice of him to leave his team with a mountain to climb.

    ITV commentator put it nicely
    "Utd have players who can retain possession, they've run the clock down well since taking the lead"

    That summed up Manchester Utds poverty today, all the advantages and they just get across the line.

    Martin Kelly was excellent today they tried to pressure him all afternoon but got little for it. The whole side dug in well.

    Worrying for the sunshine supporters of UTD. Did nothing against ten man liverpool, cheated there way into the 4th round.

    There'll be United fans who'll say it was a penalty on Berbatov too, that doesn't change the fact.

    That United fans call him good, doesn't make him good.

    He has been playing well of late and there's plenty non united fans who watch united matches who will agree.

    thats only if webb isnt a judge:rolleyes::rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,227 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Is Berbatov smirking while anwering that? :)

    Just as a matter of interest , where was Giggs positioned for the Gerrard red card? Is he just developing a case of the Wengers?

    Body language experts would have a field day with berbatov just there


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭thegen


    Berbatov trying not to laugh!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Was berbs just smiling when asked about the penalty?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,867 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    anyone see Tommy Tiernan about the 85th minute in the crowd or was it just me?

    Well surely you know where you were in the 85th minute?

    Totally agree about Kelly but it was a ****e game in all fairness. The pitch played a big part in that.

    Odd to actually have kinda enjoyed a game where utd beat liverpool. I guess I was just happy to see the young lads that have been touted about get thrown in and hold there own against a top side. Whatever way you look at it, utd, without being exceptional are close to running away with the league at the moment due to others slipping. In this regard I'm delighted that this easing in of young talent might be at an end and Kelly and Shelvey get a lot more game time. Throw these lads in and see what they can do. Good luck to utd now, obviously hope ye get knocked out next round but ye were better today.

    Damn, and there I was being all diplomatic until Berbatov comes on after the game saying it was a def pen, I feel all dirty now, the git.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,493 ✭✭✭Quandary

    Really?

    We've played below par pretty much all season, we're top of the league with games in hand, through to the champions league knockout stages, sit ll in the cup...

    I feel excited :)

    Imagine how we'll be doing when we hit form.

    Jeasus I dont know what sort of women people are but that was a good tough passionate tackle and a yellow was well enough. If by the rules that was a sending off, the rules need to change. Simple as that.

    Worrying for 'european nite' supporters of Liverpool. Soon to be relegated and out of the cup.

    bored.... waiting for the draw... come on number 3
