Basically, when you have enough money and competence, you'll always find a way. The sheiks have money, I'm sure they will hire some competent people

You are right

James

You are right

That's the whole point - we never kept to our standards - the joke is on us - even when we had a chance today it wasn't in our hands

Fair Enough - Rectify that and everything else will follow...

It's okay Dalglish will have a plan too - Play really well against United and then forget there are 18 other teams

My heart bleeds, it really does.

Finishing 2nd in the league, level on points with the champions. What a tough life it is being an armchair fan.

Try "their" instead of "there". But anyhow, the Hillsborough / Munich refs not worth it bud.

Fuck the Sheikhs

Let them play there game - We'll play ours

:lol:

As long as we don't play the choking one again, I wish we had all the injuries in the world again and lost it - would have been easier to deal with.

I of course blame John - he could have got sent off and so too Campbell and let us win it on goal difference

:lol:

Dazbomber- I meant were in for next years title. I must laugh. Those city fans a stsmping and crying prior to the two goal goal fest. No fucking character. Underneath it all , they STILL know they are bottlers. Anyway lads, let's not become bitter ourselves. Great finish from the lads . Greatest club in the world . It hurts and so it should. Means you care . Red . Council wankers , must be blue.

Whatever - when two clowns who support Leeds and Liverpool are on a United website light years behind us the joke obviously is on the clowns

Carry on

:lol:

Still does not distract that Liverpool to consult and conduct and enforce a brand image fucked off the Hillsborough flames off the Livershite bird to the back of the shirt.

There is no tribute on the United badge for Munich - soul searching for Liverpool fans with the way they are run not for United

Fuck off

It's the truth

MG - the berbatov transfer did not count when I was talking about the transfers since ronaldo was sold, but since ronaldo was sold,. we just have not done enough to solve the problem which in the end cost us the title

Now if we are looking into hindsight, let us play the hindsight game. I would trace it back to 2004. Where united should have signed alonzo for 14 million, WS signed instead of anderson in summer of 2007 for 17 million, modric and aguero signed in summer of 2008 of cost of 53 million, sanchez in summer of 2009 for 17 million.

And say that did happen? the best option would have been a change in tactics. To a formation of? 433 looking like this
DDG
rafeal ferdinand vidic evra
alonzo
modric WS
sanchez rooney aguero

Now that is playing a hindsight game, that would have been my hindsight. But we all know we all can play that game

Enjoy your depths of despair holding hands with your fellow fans who shout out for shit

I respect that. I was merely pointing out that since Berba hasn't been used this year SAF could have sold him last year and bought a midfielder

That's the only point I was making...

MG- you can hardly blame the likes of city Liverpool or Leeds gloating . For so long they have been in our shadow . City have a temporary shaft if light. Their gloating is founded on their cynicism Bourne if underachievement . Allow them to gloat at least . LUFC, thats gloat nit goat.. No need to get worked up.

Oh but they have only the owners with the consent of Dalglish the King put the flames of the dead at the back of the shirt for branding reasons - and off the livershite bird

And they fucking lecture us about losing to a team we let win - 96 families are not very happy but why would the lIverpool supporter on here give a shit?

Because he finds it more important to put us in our place

Fucking scum

Have you a ticket for the playoff final at Wembley? Oh shit sorry Leeds never even made the playoffs.
Another case of rival fans coming on a Utd blog to gloat about the achievements of another club.

James21 - I am afraid, 2011/12 season, will be remembered has the biggest collapse in premiership history, go look into the games. Lets put this into perspective, if united played it like champions against everton, united would be champions. Can you name me another premiership collapse, that threw away a 4 2 lead at home with 5 minutes to go

I'm not wound up at all

Liverpool and Leeds have neither won a premiership - Fact

And they both last won titles like 22/18 years ago

I'm not worked up at all - I only would be if they were ahead of us

MG - heck liverpool fans make such a gigantic deal of the disaster, to the point it is overkill where it is talked about for 2 months, it is like it was at the level's of the holocaust. And I have heard jokes of the holocaust the Hiroshima disaster and the titanic. Have anyone of those disasters years ago bitched and moaned about it

Arsnal v Spurs in 08. but then thats the only one that leaps to mind. And also I know the game you're trying to play. If you give me lets say 2 weeks I'll get all my old programmes down from the loft. On second thoughts I'll trawl the internet for weeks and see if there was ever such a collapse.

Still stick by what I've already said, myself and James7t7 also agreed that Utd threw a 14 or 16 point lead to Arsenal.

And that's the point

The club has for years commemorated the disaster on the shirt

Fair enough - they let the families come to the ground and let them grieve

Fair enough

But then now - now because of business greed there new shirt has the flames at the back - disrespectful and disgusting

Why Buch boy wants to come here and wind us up is no mans land job - he should be fighting for some justice - but of course he desk;t give a fuck because branding is more important than the morality of respecting the fallen

Therefore the club has shown it's true colours - it wants to move away from Hillsborough because it means fuck all to them - so where do Buch boy go with that?

With the club or with the 96?

What a catch fucking 22 if there was one

Liverpool are a fucking disgusting club

They have played shit and have fallen to standards below ahem Everton

They now mock there very own dead by removing the flames of the Hillsborough dead to the back of the shirt

But fans like Buch boy are too fucking bothered to take the piss out of me or correct my spelling mistakes - which I don't really give a fuck on since the speed I write I know I'm making my mistakes!

However rather than concentrate on Liverpool or LUFC DieHard White on Leeds they want to mock us

:lol:

The fucking hypocrisy of it all.

LIverpool FC have let the flames of the Hillsborough dead fucked off to the back of the shirt because of branding duties and making themselves more open to funding

Liverpool fan here is too bothered to tell me something I already know

We let it go - fair enough - I understand he doesn't - we lost - I understand - he doesn't

He doesn't give a shit about his own pathetic waste of a space of a team but would rather piss on me my team and my writing skills

I'll blow you away any day of the week bitch just keep an eye out in the writing world I'll come to scouse house to personally give you a fucking signed copy

Actually no I won't

Enjoy your 8th place and CL next year.

But hey The Kop is obviously fucking too senile and not enough action for the Liverpool fan and for the Leeds fan - he thinks he is still in 92

But isn't it quite sick

Liverpool the KKK club could not apologise to Evra over a racial incident, his only apology came from a handshake not delivered

Now what are Liverpool fans going to do over the Hillsborough flames being removed?

Will they follow Kim Jong Dalglish or justice for the 96?

:lol:

Of course now that Everton are above them, United are the least of there worries

As for Leeds they are so shit I don't even know where there are anymore!

Wakey @ 19:57: "there is however the issue of them being suitable for the English league which is always an issue."

I've heard this a lot but I don't think that either of the two examples - Veron or Forlan - are especially on-point.

J-S Veron was in Keane-o's immense shadow - Seba needed to be the lynchpin and as long as Roy was SAF's first-choice then Veron was never going to be "the man" and the team was not going to revolve around him. Wrong place; wrong time.

Diego Forlan - who, let us not forget, made the scousers cry - didn't get enough game-time on a consistent basis. I don't think that his problem was that he was "unsuitable" but, rather, that self-belief was knocked out of him by a combination of circumstance: language/cultural differences, slow start, some astonishing and quite hilarious misses, and possibly being a "confidence player" who could never get himself on-track.

Leaving aside these two, who would have thought that David Silva was "right" for the EPL - small, tricky, lightweight, easy to knock off the ball but.....

Besides, I think that the differences between the EPL and other leagues is over-emphasized. It's still all about having the ability to do things with the ball at your feet - and NOT being afraid of physical contact. BUT physical contact is part of the way the game is played - even in Spain and even by the BarcelonaDivas.

From Rio's twitter:

"Thanks to all our fans for the quality support this season, gutted we didn't get the PL trophy for you today. Next season we'll be stronger."

Good stuff. It also reminded me of something I forgot today. The tv showed a lot of close ups of our fans today. At the final whistle, the ones I felt more gutted about was them, not the players.. You could tell they were going through a rollerocaster of emotions and I know how awful it is finding out about results elsewhere like this. And sadly, when Dzeko equalized, they knew what was coming. This bunch (as well as our travelling support all season) deserve better next season.
