Pretty much agree with all of that, except the erratic manager bit. I believe its only Fergie thats keeping such a mediocre squad going.
Liverpool have copped onto the fact that a decent player costs 18-20mil minimum these days. Utd can only afford 11 mil tops and thats get you an unproven kid.

Not if you spend it wisely: Raul Meireles (11.5), Hernandez, etc.

BTW I have to say fair play to Phil Dowd, I thought that he handled the trouble before half time brilliantly. Any other ref and they would have hysterically brandished 2/3 red cards in order to prove their "authority".

Agree with that, he just stood back and let it happen. He had his mind made up what he was going to do before all the handbags came out

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. I don't think my interpretation of what he said is different from what he was saying.

Let me put it this way, if I was a Liverpool supporter today I would have been saying (shouting probably) this:

''Good job Jamie, get stuck in!''

(On first replay) ''Fúck he could go off for that. Bollocks, bollocks bollocks.'' *Crosses fingers*

(Nani goes off injured) ''Good enough for him. He's a pain in the ass cry baby anyway.'' *looks forward to Liverpool having more of an advantage now United have lost one of their best players.*

Seriously, what's wrong with that?

A taboo has developed on this forum with respect to any injury that forces a player to leave the field of play. The accepted code of conduct is to always feign sorrow and not stray outside of 'terrible to see that, hope he isn't badly injured' comments. Anything else gets the sheep baa baaing.

I don't care about the sheep, so I posted what I genuinely thought. Sue me.

Your not saying that united players should get stuck into Carragher? I think the moral outrage brigade will be paying you a visit.;)

No not at all. I meant it honestly. Until we see pictures on the BBC or something we can't really trust any of them imo.

Fair enough, sorry.

I don't think either pic is doctored. I don't actually see much difference between the two - at least, no difference that can't be explained by angle or poor picture quality.

It looks like a nasty gash, doesn't look like a break or anything.

You earn the right to play the football you want to play. That image of Nani on the ground with 4 Liverpool players surrounding him is a joke. Where the **** were the rest of the squad? Imagine Keane, Ince, Stam, or Neville in the squad, you think that would have happened? How Carragher got off that pitch without a lack tackle into him I've no ****ing idea. At least Rafael showed some bloody fight. They bossed us out of the game today. Last week Chelsea muscled us out of the game. What are we? ****ing Arsenal? Jesus christ.

This isnt rawk, the sf is alot better than the ****e you spouted. Infact the ****e you spouted belongs on rawk.

donfers · 06-03-2011 06:07PM

3-1, thoroughly deserved win for the pool, could have been 6-0 in all honesty......that such a poor man u side is top of the league speaks volumes for how bad the premier league is this season, they'll still win it and it'll be the worst team to have won it in quite a while, arsenal don't have the bottle to chase them down

as for the tackles, carra and rafael could both have seen red, but for man u fans to go on and on about the nani tackle is quite smalltime, they have gotten away with murder this season at times and pool fans aren't banging on about rafael's tackle which was probably worse - on top of that fergie is doing his usual sore loser bit and not talking to the press, probably for the best as he'd only spout his usual myopic inflammatory garbage anyway

so it could well have finished 10 v 10 today but the result and better team were never in doubt, well done liverpool but don't be too downhearted man u, despite being a poor side, you'll still win the league and are the best of a very bad lot

Stuck in? He tried to snap his leg. Its meat head players and fans we need out of football. Build a time machine and go back to the 70s or stick to watching ESPN Classic, when football was apparently "Hard" :rolleyes:

Jesus wept, spare me the role eyes man!

You have a point about that type of tackle being better off out of the game and I agree with you. But in the heat of the moment, a fan getting carried away and confusing where exactly the fine line falls between tough tackles and ones that are too dangerous is understandable. If you say that you've never been happy with one of your team's players' over zealous tackles then I don't believe you.

If any Liverpool fans are saying now, after the game, that Carragher's tackle was actually OK and didn't deserve a red then they are completely wrong.

Ordinary man · 06-03-2011 06:07PM

Having seen it again there's no doubt carragher went in to do nani. He had been put out to full back and knew nani had too much pace. The ball was there to be won but he went over it. Disgusting "tackle" that needs to be looked at by the fa. Rooney got a lot of attention for an elbow(rightly so) but that was 100 times worse. Also nani had his shinpads up, the studs went through it:mad:

You wouldn't be upset and irrational after getting injured badly in a massive game? Plus, we know Nani is already a bit of a fool.

peterswellman wrote: »

Yeah, i'm sure drunken bums don't abuse them after hit by a car. Or some heroin addict after getting beaten up.Should they leave them aswell? Stop being stupid.

If Nani did take a swipe at the St John's guy than he deserves extreme criticism man. There's no way around that.

Every club has theirs, it just shows comedic bitterness to lash out after a hammering.

This forum is better than other forums by default - not because it is actually "good" if assessed in a vacuum. My comment cannot be categorised as anything other than an honest reaction from a fan to an event on the pitch. The idea that such things do not belong here is a poor commentary on the level of discourse you are comfortable with.

I don't care for what you consider to be acceptable comment. And I am not in the slightest bit perturbed at your reaction to my comments earlier. Expect more honesty from me going forward, like it or lump it.

Mountain out of molehill tbh.

He immediately turned around, it's clear he wasn't trying to hit the guy deliberately.

Honestly, this thread...

True, but they are the exception, there are bargains to be had, VDV for example but for proven quality I would say 18-20 mil is the norm, expecially for the top 6 six clubs

For the record, and as I said at half time - it was a definite red card offence. I wouldn't quibble with a multi match ban applied after the fact either.

Are you forgetting Berbatov hitting the post, Hernandez and Giggs missing decent chances, Berbatov having one cleared off the line, and Brown having another one off the line, Not to mention Hernandezs goal.

6-0 my hole.

tackle on nani was terrible but the guy is a diving cheating pussy at the best of times, it might have been a red if he didn't behave like such a crybaby nonce after the tackle, getting up to appeal for a red then falling down again after the air caught him, then clashing with the ambulance men - it's the way things are that if a team loses they look for something to blame, if liverpool had lost, all the focus would be on the rafael tackle, it's all a sideshow and a failure to accept the fact which is that liverpool mullered united today

Where did I say he didn't? I was just saying I can understand why he would. He was obviously hurt and angry tbh.
