VDS was on the leftmost corner of the goal...MAYBE Fletch thought the cunt is gonna swing it from the outside of the wall and thats y he shifted right...Point is..these things happen..Cant really blame...That said...Love O'shea's expression as if saying "Stevie, If that Ball hit my balls..Ur balls will be rocketed to space"

I think it was a well worked free kick and Fletcher got done by it. The Liverpool player peeled off the end of the wall before the free kick was taken and Fletcher took a step away to cover him creating a gap in the wall. He fell for it which isn't good but the opposition were trying to create the gap and succeeded. He will learn for next time.

Whoever was to the right of Fletch (well technically Fletch's left) pulled away as if he was going to get it short and Fletch went to follow leaving the hole only to stop. Twas a silly mistake but at lease it didn't cost us in the end

I saw the replay, he certainly should not have moved, but VDS was also to blame for his poor positioning. It caught him by surprise. What made it worse was that Stevie Me was who took it, I hate when this irritable-camera-kissing-teenage-shagger scores against us. Thank God his goal didn't matter in the end. Fletch still can't seem to find his best form. Hit and miss today.

Lol! What is Giggsy doing with Berba's and Sheasy"s shorts? Is he trying to undress them?

Stevie Me kissing the camera after he scored that, fucking cunt. At least Berba wiped the smile off his face. When we play the dirty's at their place and if by chance Rooney scores, he should urinate on their camera....lol.

Giggsy knew that if he let go they would make a run for it (ala Fletch......) Berba's expression suggests that he feared the worst

I think O'Shea's expression is the most hilarious.. Defiant and thunderous... Thou shall not pass personified...

LOL....love the pic!

Although, he did not play a bad game, that was simply poor by Fletcher.

Ando is back!...I hope he gets some minutes at the CC this wednesday.

O'Shea's look is brilliant. He knows that one way or another, he has a ball shot coming...If it's not Gerrard, it will be Fergie in the locker room. :D

hats off to oshea! ... Fletch will feel the full wrath of Fergies hair dryer!

Evans will get a little bit of a hair bashing although good bit of skill by torres! if he had of shot then everyone would have applauded the block evans would have made!

im still enjoying the result! My liverpool facebook pals are extremly quiet today!

Fletch turned away like something from a camp carry on film ..
Bitterly disappointed with him .. he's made a few mistakes the last two matches ..
Needs a little bit of a talking to from the boss ...

Fergie is God. September 19, 2010
Fletcher was pushed into O'Shea by Meireles before Stevie Me took the freekick and Fletch bounced off John and having to refoot left the openinng for Gerrard to sllot the ball through, if Meireles wasn't a cheat and didn't shove Fletcher than Stevie Me would never of scored. Liversmall didn't desrve anything as we controlled the game and deserved all 3 points. We will now start to truly gain form as we storm to the reclaiming of our Premier Lge title. BELIEVE.

Fletch got caught in two minds because meireles made a run. It was a mistake but he didnt wuss out like some are suggesting. Was a well rehearsed free kick from the cunts.

lol, giggsy knows the meaning of the wall. clever play by liverpool. bad play by us not placing a player to cover the short pass. whats up with the defense? as soon as the opposing teams starts attacking with numbers they are all over the place. i think we are not getting the required cover from the midfield. this has already cost us and is likely to cost us again if we dont sort it out.

fletch, evans and oshea, this gang (that hangs out together quite often and beginning to think they're the shit) has been at fault for all united's drawbacks this season so far. im quite dissapointed at fletcher, he lost his concentration -giving the ball away so many times this game. that wasnt his style when he was fighting for his spot. but now that he became first choice, he's becoming complacent. i hope SAF gives him a good ol' scottish hammering to wake him the fuck up

Stevie the CUNT September 20, 2010
Giggs: Hey Johnnie and Berba... If u break this wall, I'm gonna rip of your shorts.
Johnnie & Berba: The missus aint gonna like it if the CUNT kick at our balls...

I do not care, if he stuck to the wall and a short pass was played people would have still blamed him. All that matters 3 points period.

LOLOL fine commentary gents

i agree fletch was double minded there. but he didn't have that great of a match that we normally expect from him. c'mon fletch get your swagger back!

That's dedication, Giggs would rather leave his nuts exposed than risk the wall breaking up! Shame he couldn't hang on to Fletch too. I don't know what he was thinking, doesn't matter who runs where, if you're in the wall all you should worry about is stopping that ball. The most dissapointing thing is, on the replay, he sees the ball coming at him and actually leans AWAY from it making the gap bigger!

That is exactly why I have Giggs on my Shirt.

I don't fault Fletcher. Fletch made a flash move on something that couldn't be corrected. The speed of the game makes it clear that he was reacting to something that happened before the ball was kicked. The fault his his to bear as a mater of hindsight, but you don't fault him for his dedication to the job. He wasn't protecting anything, as was Giggs.

Still love the image of Giggs. What a player!
