Hello. Thanks. Yeah it is true, lol. Pessimism is one of my traits.

Nobody doubted Chelsea could go to Anfield and win, but to just give up after conceding the first goal was shocking. I'm a firm believer in what goes around, comes around, this will hopefully come back to bite the dippers in the backside some day.

Just ignore Liverpool. They are going down and it doesn't bother us eh. lol
I think they are going to be hard to qualify for CL next season unless there is a major change and i hope Benitez will still be there because it will be good for us to see them slip more. Wahahaha

Hi. Ok. So i guess aig's pessimism wont be missed much

@willierednut

of course it will.However i am sure if the roles were reversed United wouldnt have folded up like that. Liverpool players showed no pride playing for their club. Something that SAF and the senior lads will ensure never happens at United. Apart from Kuyt and reina, no one looked interested

Costas ...great comments re Liverpool.

For the last 24 hours I've realized how much I actually had been thinking the dippers would get something out of the match ... so it's just sinking in today that we are likely to come up a point short this year.

For me Chelski looked off (like they were going to freeze) until Stevie Me threw them a life line. It seem to kick start them. That said, Liverpool were a shadow of the team that you would have expected Chelski to meet at Anfield when the fixture schedule was announced.

I've never publicly criticized berba on this blog but i find it funny how certain people always jump to his defence. It's his job to prove doubters wrong, not yours. Fletcher & nani have done that. Until berba does, he'll keep getting stick.

Morning all

As mentioned yesterday:

The flip side to maybe not winning the 19 this year is this

Liverpool are totally fucked - they wanked themselves silly yesterday at handing Chelsea the title - though there is one match left - however if it's meant to be it will be - if it won't - fuck it we'll go again next year - all of us together again - supporting our United unlike them lot who were tripping cheering there Shankly loving team into a loss at home - in front of the kop

Thats how far they have fallen

But thats not it

Gerrard will leave - Torres will go - Babel is gone - Yossi said in an interview that he doesn't expect to be there - if Barca come calling Uncle Kia will get Macherano out of there... the list goes on and on... am I wrong?

There deluded owners want 800 million for what exactly?

No CL - bitter fans who Hansen in the Telegraph still said 'best in the world' - I don't think he was watching the same game a lot of us did yesterday - no stadium - no other income - a squad fucked from top to bottom - no youth development - if the youth coach that bought together the current Barca squad now employed at loserfield says it's the worst he has seen - not too clever are they?

I could carry on - you know I think most of us have resolved ourselves that we may not make it this year - at least we are all together ready for another shot - but where do you stick loserfield and it's fans - it's history and it's tradition

?

Oh and Benitez walks - so who the fuck comes in and awaits an apparent endless chequebook - as mentioned on the other blog world class players are going to come 30 million plus - so five makes it...

Really? So loserfield are going to buy five world class players at that going rate and are going to pay them world class wages - from what exactly? from those fans ticket prices that were clapping the opponent team to beat there team at fortress Anfield?

Dream the fuck on - if they wake up today - they will realise that they are well and truly fucked - world class players playing in the europa league - fighting for another opportunity to battle for 7 again for the coming future...

Everyone said loserfield would be fighting 4 against city - after they knew they weren't going to cut it for the race - they forgot to mention Spurs and Villa

And Howard Webb helped them along into europe by denying Everton a goal on Saturday...

So at the end - who has the better chance to get to 19?

They can all go and fuck themselves - if we don't make 19 - we'll try again - our gaffer will get us there -

But what will happen to them now is the greater reckoning

And it only took a night to get to that conclusion - Football match aside the myth of Shankly is now over - if he were alive and at the match yesterday would he have accepted what happened on the terraces?

Loserfield have no idea what they did yesterday - losing is not the issue - they were never up for it - fans or players - management - it's just that they just pissed the owners off

800 million for that pile of shit

Dream on

@mhihrh

Well, hopefully he will be back. Each one is pessimistic in their own way. :D

@Rollins

I agree that he doesn't need anyone to defend him. I haven't defended his display against Sunderland. I only jump tp his defence when I see fans come here only to bash him and gloat about him failing. As if the only newsworthy thing yesterday was Berba missing 3 sitters.

Well said.

@ Aig

You must be very proud.

Oh yeah, I wanted to mention that last night. Ronaldo has 29 goals in 32 games with Real.

Costas - He's a goal machine. Madrid would be well of the pace without his goals.

Definitely. He saved their butts yesterday. Messi has 42 goals in 50 games, but Ronaldo has a better goal average.

Can we all calm down for a moment? Not all has been lost yet. The league tittle is still up for grabs. This league will be won or lost on Sunday after the final whistles have been blown at OT & SB. It's only afterwards that we'll conclusively ventilate about our season. Stranger things have happened on the last day of the season(1995 anyone ?) Even the out of sorts Berba might be the one to score a winner in the 92nd minute to seal us the tittle. If Wigan play exactly the same way Sunderland played against us yesterday, then the Chavs are in for a rude shock! Just imagine Terry deflecting in an own goal in the 92 minute? So fellaws, dont despair, dont give up lads coz we all know our Manchester neighbours (City & Wigan) have come in handy this season. Anyone remember Shitty doing the Chavs a double this season? Wigan are on course to do them another double or at least a draw. The same neighbours have given us 6 points each; 2 injury time wins(City) & 2 comfortable wins(Wigan) with a total 10 goals as token. Mac you Dave Whelan really likes Fergie & he was very instrumental in us getting the magnificent Valencia at a bargain! Last week Martinez (spanish but not fat) said he wanted to have a hand in the destiny of the tittle. So ,like i said before, it's not over until it's over. Call me whatever you want but i'm the biggest United optimist alive (of course after SAF) : WE ARE WINNING A RECORD 19 & 4 IN A ROW! The Chavs dont have the bottle to withstand the nerves & the pressure! The tension is with Bulldog not us. So, remain calm & composed for we have the edge! I Repeat: we will win the tittle & both our neighbours who were instrumental in our tittle push will be delighted(city?) UNITED TILL I DIE!!

Seen this? http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=781086&sec=europe&cc=4716

Roma has taken issue over the performance of Lazio. I guess this does show our class because we just take it and move on.

I am not into whatever Gerrard's thinking or what their fans think. I just want us to do the best we can pushing Chelsea. And come on Latics!

@ Costas, agree with you about Nani being more productive on the right but I think Fergie will continue to play him on the left next season anyway. He did put in a remarkable performance there against Bayern and scored 2. I think, given more time, he will be as lethal on the left as he is on the right. We'll probably only see Nani playing on the right when Valencia is being rested or injuried.

Aquilani and Reina were probably the only Liverpool players who looked like, or pretended, they do give a shit about the game. Shame about their fans and the rest of the players.

Fze123 - Aquaman was poor mate, Agree about Reina though.

@ MG, spot on. Liverpool fans are so fickle. Do they really think their team will win their 19th before us? I didn't understand their attitude yesterday. Seeing as their club is officially corrupt now as you've mentioned, we have a higher chance of reaching the the 20th, 21st and 22nd league title if Fergie's still around till then.

@Fze123

Cheers mate - but I guess we all know that now - and I think them idiots are beginning to realise it the morning after the night before

@willierednut

Thanks for the comments on the other blog mate

I really have nothing else to say other than if we equate Gordon Brown's bigot remarks to what Liverpool fans came up with yesterday then we can safely say as Nick Clegg and David Cameron responded that Liverpools actions and words speak louder at losing at home than winning only for us not to win one title ahead of them.

Says everything about them

As my brother said yesterday if the situation was the other way around - we would have all berated United if they had gone down against tradition losing at home the way Liverpool did.

It would have been unacceptable and more so disgusting

So cast your minds back now to the Bayern game

We went down fighting - it just wasn't t be - but we tried and we kept our dignity intact

Cue the end of the season

We make it brilliant - we don't we took the fuckers to the wire

That's the United way - and as mentioned we'll go again next season - all together again
