Rio is right there’s no need to be complacent at merseyshite. but hey i’d love it if we knocked them even downwards. deluded scousers always bragging about how they’re the best cultured team and a certain stan collybore who fucking defends the dippers even if they are playing shit. PS rio is going to keep ladyboy quiet.:-)

It s a funny one this because we know the dippers at the moment are nothing short of awful. No creativity, no flair, no pace to their game and fuck all passion BUT because the fact it is a derby game and more so the fact they hammered us 4-1 at home last season a lot of people are very wary and rightly so. However I am gonna buck the trend here and reckon that United will beat them reasonably easy. It s not arrogance or over confidence I just feel that the dippers are no where near us this season in terms of class and performance.

Fergie’s pre-match dressing room talk will definitely mirror Rio’s comments. Fergie will make sure no one takes Pool lightly. Just keep playing good football. The better team will win in the end.

P.S: Thats United ofc

I agree with Rio,they will be fired up to beat us,and there is a chance of of a dipper backlash.

But I think we’ll manage to win it.

Wayne @ 14:34 – you’re absolutely right; LiverPoo’s defence is slow, awkward, and not especially skilful.

It has been obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Jamie Carragher’s form has been slipping for about 18 months – he’s playing a lot like the LastDaysOfHeinze which means he off-balance, out-run, and using his hands a lot. Neither Agger nor Skrtel is much better than average – or, to put it another way, would Ryan Shawcross be a better bet ?

To be sure, they’ve solved a problem with the addition of Glen Johnson, who is excellent going forward. Unfortunately – for them ! – he’s simply atrocious doing his primary job: defending. On the other side, Aurelio has a great left foot but is slow and ponderous; Insua hasn’t really progressed since he arrived from Boca Juniors (do you see something similar to Carlitos there ? Tevez, also, has not improved on his form as an 18-year old who wowed them at La Bonbonera).

A team with a questionable back four is unlikely to challenge for honours even if they could get their front six healthy, match-fit and game-ready then the collection of Mascherano/Aquilani/Benayoun/Kuyt/Gerrard/Torres would be excellent. But – reality check ! – Aquilani and Torres seem to remind me of Darren Anderton and LouisLouisHaHa.

Then there are the “intangibles” – the FatSpanishWaiter and the ludicrous belief that this will be their year. Yeah. Sure.

Twenty years and counting.

This match on sunday could be highly vitalbin the title race if united win it really is the final nail for liverpools title shot Liverpool really know it’s not gonna happen this year. But if united are top of the legue after the win in October at least a point ahead and they knocked a top 4(?) last seasons vise champions out so early in the season it really not only gives united there yearly December boost early but it has to say to Chelsea it not gonna happen

Wazza (Bezi), think Evans will start ahead of Vidic on Sunday. Don’t know what’s wrong with Vida but he’s playing awful, JE was left behind yesterday which would imply he’s being rested – though there has been talk that he’s got a knock.
