Sky Sports, The Daily Mail, Football365, The Mirror and The Sun, amongst other news sources, reported a surprising quote from Jamie Carragher following his testimonial. The man the fans call ‘Mr Liverpool’ revealed he’d always dreamed of scoring against Liverpool (obviously forgetting the numerous own goals he has to his name, including two in one game for United).
When asked why he took a penalty for Everton in his testimonial, he replied: “I don’t score too often, but I actually wanted the first penalty to be for Michael Owen to score. I’d totally forgot people would want me to take it. As for the second penalty, as an Everton fan as a kid I’ve always dreamed about scoring against Liverpool so that is why I did that.”
Funnily enough, the official Liverpool site didn’t want to publish these comments, so completely changed what Carragher actually said.
Man Utd News 24/7
Embarrassing…but unfortunately not as embarrassing as it feels now having been a massive supporter of Rooney
Carragher at least talks a lot of good things about Utd, and says it like it is
Shame Rooney or Gerrard cannot be like Carra (even though I detest him as a Dipper)
The fact that Rooney allegedly slept with her 7 times, if true, goes to prove how stupid he is, as well as doing “something” in Rio’s restaraunt, and Owen was there too, is beyond belief
Sad times for Utd
I cannot wait for our next game and see what Fergie is going to do
He’s a closet man u fan. Has been for years
Priceless!
He’s scored the most goals against Liverpool i’ve been told by a dipper. What a hero.
On a day when the name of our great club is being dragged through the mud, can we stop obsessing about Liverpool. It’s embarrasing, I think this site has said enough about Carragher and his testimonial. Who cares? We have our own problem to focus on and that is our best player not ending up a shadow of his current self like John Terry did last season. We should be showing our support for Rooney rather than repeated articles about Liverpool. What Rooney has done is wrong but let everyone else judge and try to destroy him. If we don’t support him, who will?!!
Anyone ever thought that the quotes might have come from two separate interviews?
Its strange people see what they want to see when they want to see it.Say what they want but forget what they said.Its odd in this day and age of pocket taperecorders and dictaphones.
Totally different comments as was reported on here after the game.
I think its called bias.
SAF – Agree to an extent, but it’s Scott’s blog mate, and Owen, our player was involved in Carragher’s testimonial.
man utd sucks!
The obsession of some of our supporters with Liverpool FC is perplexing, needy and most of all embarrassing. They’re NOTHING. They haven’t won the title in a generation, never will do again and will be lucky to finish in the top six this season. Though they’ll always be local rivals and the histories of the two sides can’t be forgotten, bollocks to them, we’ve got bigger fish to fry. Let’s concentrate on those clubs who are a genuine threat to us, like Chelsea and City.
hahahaha. @Willierednut. totally agree with u. this blog is for the fans. afterall he doesnt care a hoot about the players we want to be fielded. Lol
A much needed laugh. If that’s being needy, so be it.
