    Honestly, that's one of the worst posts today and there have been loads, you're right though, you're not worth arguing with.

    There was a touch, Berbatov felt it, he went down, and a foul is a foul. The laws of the game do not specify an amount of contact that would constitute a foul, just that there must be contact.

    Them's the rules like it or not.

    He seemed fairly sure De Jong deserved no more than yellow in the World Cup final also. He's a very average referee in my opinion.

    You can make a legitimate case for it being a penalty but I think anyone who understands football knows it was simulation.

    I find that hilarious actually. I'm not in any way saying Gerrard's tackle wasn't worthy of a red, but to think that Webb finds that a sending off, but de Jong kung fu kicking Alonso in the chest is just a yellow and a talking to.

    He really is a poor ref!

    Sorry but i have to respectfully disagree with you here. I enjoy watching them suffer and hope that other clubs stay above them for a long time. I hate the club, the supporters and that stadium. I hate the ynwa. I hate that bloody bird on the jersey, i hate the sign in the tunnel. I hate their history lessons. I hate their accents. I hate dagleish, rush,beglin,fowler and gerrard. The only good thing to ever come out of the place was Sir Matt Busby.

    If United win the league this year, i will raise a glass and celebrate my love for Sir Alex and what he has done to knock them off their F***ing perch

    Good to know we still matter to you so much!! ;)

    Lol. Alex Ferguson never knocked us off our perch, he had to wait til Souness destroyed Liverpool and then he managed to win the league.

    I hope you wake up tomorrow with a sense of embarrassment. Seriously, the above post is beyond hilarious, even for you.

    What stone wall penalty?

    Skrtel held back Evans I think. I'll watch it on MOTD.

    Cos Xabi is a Liverpool legand!!!! Howard Webb is a dopey so and so...when in doubt go with what you want to happen!!!

    Howard Webb.....The man Darren Fletcher man handles!!!! And doesn't he have a black belt in something? Must have admired de Jong for the fly kick and that's why he didn't send him off.

    Crazy stuff that that man got to ref the world cup final. No wonder it was a bad game.

    Just echoing the sentiments of Jamie carragher. As I said, we were in a major period of decline when Ferguson managed to win the League. We didn't challenge United for the league until two years ago.

    By definition, knocking us off our perch would mean beating us head to head for the league, which didn't really happen til 2008/2009.

    Sure he will probably overtake us in League titles but thats not knocking us off our perch. We were well off the perch for a long time.

    Only a Liverpool fan could delude himself into finding asome kind of a positive in not challenging for the title in 20 years. "Yeah well we were crap anyway so stick that in your pipe Fergie." Ye really do make me laugh sometimes.:pac:

    Yeah after 11 sometime. Said they'd have an interview with Fergie on it too, who I haven't heard any interview with since the final whistle?

    How many times do we see that sort of thing happen and how many times are penalties awarded? 1 in a 100?

    Clutching at straws due to embarrassment of Berbatov penalty.

    ‘If I was in his company, I would also tell him, first off, that Manchester United never knocked Liverpool off their ******* perch, as he put it. That’s just nonsense. Graeme Souness did that.
    'When United were going for their first title under Ferguson in 1992-93, they were competing with Norwich and Aston Villa. They weren’t competing with Liverpool, were they?’



    Just echoing the sentiments of Carragher. If people can't grasp what "knocking someone off their perch" is, then thats down to a poor understanding of english.

    A good example would be Wenger arriving and knocking Ferguson off his perch.

    If Ferguson said he wanted to eclipse Liverpools achievements, he might manage that this year with a league win. Simples.
