I love how Kiko is just coming back into the mix. In 2 weeks it's the one year anniversary of his famous debut. And I have a feeling that he will have a say in the title race again!

@getstuckinlads
first offfantastic name
I will get it hanging in old trafford
secondly in the last 10 minutes I just said if it's less than 10 minutes that I'd be shocked if united win this less than 3-0 maybe that's worth a punt

Fergie setting the record staight about Hargo and England:

And the FSW showing some humility:

The dippers will NOT make it four in a row against us. We will be ready for the fuckers this time.

Get your money on a 3-0 United win......

I went to the cirque du solice tonight (next to Trafford centre) and sat behind me was Nani & a quite goodlooking girl. After the show I patted him on the back and wished him luck this wknd!

Not sure he fully understood me but he smiled and nodded nonetheless! Quite a shy lad.

He talked in portugese all the way thru it... Had it been anyone else I probably wud av asked him to keep quiet.

I just saw on my local cable that the next LFCTV episode right before the match is going to be a special on "Liverpool wins over Man Utd".......

What a sad bunch!!!!

Compare that to a special that MUTV would've had:

"Man Utd Trophies since Liverpool Last won the League"

Of course we are not low-life egomaniacs so we will not be coming out with such a program.

Who is Rio jumping on top of?

Young rafa looks like a 10 year old. I'd love to see more of Fabio, unfortunately somehow he always seems to be injured.

Does anyone else have a feeling the dippers may have a meltdown on Sunday? Gerrard and Mascherano to be sent off.






Like the way Fergie said that the 4-1 last season was a blip and "definately will not happen again"!!

Sunday's script ;
Nani whips in a corner, cleared by StevieMe but only to RedNev, He sends in a delightful cross from the right, and VIDAAAA !!!!! 1 - 0 for United. And look at the celebration from Red Nev !!! LOL

VDS to keep a clean sheet, 3-0 UNITED !

Lads look really happy, hope we win this one as i really cannot take the fourth against the dippers and this one is also really important in terms of the title race, so come-on lads !
And did anyone notice that Patty is missing from the training pics, hope he's alright and fired up for sunday.

RE: WAZZATOV. You're pretty much on point man. I cant take the 4th straight loss against the scousers! Does Lady boy(torres) have Vida's number or what? My humble opinion is our results are pegged on 2 guys: Vida & Wazza; the former being instrumental in sniffing out their mediocre long ball attacks. I'm not having sleepless nights over Stevie Me coz a half fit JS Park wil rape him like he did Pirlo. Carragher vs. Kai's dad bald head wil make my day . And if the scousers have forgoten it's still GIGGS 11-GERARD 0.

RE:Possepossebon & Red Typhoon. Thanx guys! Now i'm in the loop. He surely looks like a FAT SPANISH WAITER! If u ask me i'd say he resembles a deprived Italian Priest with his thick moustache & welding glasses !Lol But seriously guys, when it comes to looks which manager has the best & who would you vote as the worst looking manager? For me Best looking manager surely has to be Mourinho,no? While the worst looking is without a doubt our own Arsene (especially when squatting by the touchline when the young guns are trailing at Emirates); or would you rather choose old Avran Grant? What say you?

Rafael Benítez wouldn't swap Fernando Torres for Wayne Rooney
Rafael Benítez is adamant Liverpool would travel to Old Trafford on Sunday in the thick of the Premier League title race had Fernando Torres not endured a season ravaged by injury.

Prized asset: Rafa Benítez realises what a prize he has in Fernando Torres Photo: GETTY IMAGES
He insists he would not swap the Spanish international for Wayne Rooney despite the Manchester United striker's
32-goal season.
Torres, 26 on Saturday, has started just 17 of Liverpool's 30 Premier League games this season after a succession of injuries but his two goals in Monday's 4-1 victory over Portsmouth took his tally for the season to 15 in the league, at a remarkable rate of one every 100 minutes.

It is a strike-rate which Benítez feels would have the same effect on Liverpool as Rooney's has on helping United keep pace with Arsenal and Chelsea, had Torres been able to play a fuller part.
"Would I swap Torres for Rooney? Not really," said the Liverpool manager. "Fernando is a fantastic player, and so is Rooney. He is very, very good, but Fernando is our player, the fans love him and we want to keep him for a very long time.
"He is so important to us. If he had been fit all this season, then the gap to the top would have been smaller. It would have been a different season for us if he had been injury free and played more games. If he is fit, he would score in a lot of games, as he has done this week."
In contrast to last season, when both clashes between the country's two most successful clubs were marked by a war of words between Benítez and his counterpart, Ferguson will use his programme notes on Sunday to offer the Spaniard an olive branch. Benítez, too, is unwilling to be drawn on the subject of his feud, insisting the past should be allowed to rest.
"We both said a lot of things last year but this year is different," he said. "They are at the top of the table and we have to do our job to be in the top four, so the main thing for me is to concentrate on my team.
"I had a relationship with him before, and now I know him a little better, though we do not talk. There is the personal relationship and the professional one, and you have to separate them."
Rather, Benítez has spent much of the last two days concentrating on the internal strife within his squad caused by Albert Riera's incendiary comments and subsequent suspension.
While the Liverpool manager admits "some players" knew about the winger's outburst, he insists "they were not talking about it too much."

Sorry about thatcopy and paste job but I couldn't copy the link on the iPhone but saying you wouldn't take Rooney over Bruno is stupid in my book and saying your not in the race because of just one injury is funny. Thank god united have had an injury free season that's why the sit on top of the table today, come in the hammers a draw will do,

Morning one and all
Giggs to start against the dippers according to the papers......lets hope he plays on the left with Nani on the right and I hope someone gives Stevie-me a good fucking slap today also a dig to that snidey little cunt Mascherano wouldn't go amiss.
Rooney to take it to the rat munchers

@GHTT

Hi mate. That's correct. Good memory. And in 07-08, Cristiano's 34th was against Liverpool at OT. So it's only appropriate that Wazza also reaches 34 tomorrow!

wow, didn't know both ruud and ronnie reached their 34 against the dippers. brace/hattrick for wazza then? :D but yeah, before this match i'm just going to keep my mouth shut and hope for the lads to do my talking for me on the pitch. lol ladyboy's barely played this season cause of injuries but of course FSW wouldn't swap him for wazza. ladyboy's a class player, but what's the point if you're always injured?
anywat, have you guys seen the man utd challenges by betfair? here's the crossbar one. giggsy's the man! and lol at fletch...

Morning.



Can Valencia actually speak English yet? All his interviews are in Spanish BUT the questions are asked in English. I hope he can, he has been here 3 or 4 years. Must be had to fit in if he can't.

i heard dat too mate.About how sick fat Rafa said torres is better than our sensational Wazza,,,n if i was SAF,i reply to that fatty "yo Benitez,how come u get the idea of swapping our striker with yours??as far as im concern Rooney is the best n is not worth trading with Torres!"Hell Yeah!!

Liverpool may not walk alone bcause let see...umm...they got lousy Lucas,big head mascherano,bald Ngog and what else....yoda Kuyt....So thats why they never walk alone,but the question is....'WHERES THE TROPHY TO ACCOMPANY THEM'??? X_X
