Oh, we're bothered enough to try and beat you Liverpudlians for a third place, be it meaningless or not(Like children who steal cake just to prevent other children from having it!)
But Arsenal fans can call it meaningless because we have no silverware or titles to gain anymore. And when compared to all we've been kicked out of and lost, it is meaningless. If y'get me meaning.
I sure am happy Manchester as Ronaldo with them...
They may throw stones but he will keep putting them on the top...well at least near the top
Fantastic semifinal between Arsenal and United (was live on MUTV). FA Youth Cup Final is now between Liverpool and Manchester United!Should be awesome.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I haven't kept track of the Youth Cup. United deservingly besting every opposition I hope? When is the final being played? I'll need to watch that.
And yeah, Ronaldo will totally pwn Mancini tommorow.
Simply the Best!
Liverpool currently thumping PSV just makes our result against the latter even more embarrassing now >_<
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
PSV were pathetic in their attitude/tactics. Who puts defensive barriers up from the first minute of a home tie? Who does this? Well, PSV obviously. Disappointed in them and Koeman.
Plaudits to Javier Mascherano especially. I was hesitant when we signed him, but it definitely looks like we have Argentina World Cup Mascherano rather than West Ham Mascherano, and so I'm extremely happy with this.
Also I will praise the man who I voted on Liverpool's website as our player of the season (and when I did, he was in second place ahead of Steven Gerrard. Carra was #1) and that is Steve Finnan. Two great crosses, two assists. He's been doing that all season and I stand by my opinion that he is the best right back in the Premiership.
On Steve Finnan, Rafa has certainly turned him from the average, sloppy right back he was under Houllier, to a streamline, consistently good performer who is definitely amongst the most well rounded right backs in the division. He was awesome tonight Psy, I totally agree.
Was going to post similar sentiments about Mascherano who will imo, usurp Momo as the regular starter in the holiding role. I love Momo, but Mascherano has three things he doesn't, composure, a great first touch and a world class footballing brain.
The only performances I want to criticise, as ever, were the awful commentary team of Clive Tyldesley and David "I think they've had a pretty easy run in the Champions League because I don't really think about anything I say" Pleat. Is it just me who wants to mute to the TV and play Britney Spears albums as a more soothing alternative to their constant tripe? Seriously Clive, put away the book of footballing cliches. It must have taken all his willpower not to make a comment about how Crouch is often criticised about not being good in the air but is great with his feet...
Though I was in the loo when Crouch scored so it wouldn't surprise me if he did say that...
Yeah, actually, he said just that. :laugh:
David Pleat in the CL final last year, saying "the sight is in end" with 15 minutes to go - apart from that statement beingthe wrong way round, Barcelona equalised almost straight after - nice one Pleat!
He is a wally, agreed.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Thumped every team before Arsenal, who beat us 1-0 at Emirates and outplayed us in the first half at OT. Once they scored a goal, though, we took it to another level and scored one ourselves, then we scored again to take it to extra time. They scored again in the first period of ET, then we scored twice to take it in a typical United "fight to the death of the game" and won it. Have to say, when it comes to excitement in a football game, that tie compared with any Premiership game I've seen this season. Fantastic game.Originally Posted by Gaius Drakan
EDIT: Final is also played over two legs - Anfield on 16th April and OT on 19th April. Should be viewable on MUTV if not on a major channel.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Big game tonight...AS Roma.
It's hard to predict, truely is, I'm hoping for an away goal. But more importantly, for English fans not to get the crap beat out of them by Latin Police & supporters.
Chelsea will win 2-0.
Last night Pesh-Vey (as the Dutch call them) were terrible,m that's not to take away the fact the Scousers still had to show up. I think you are safely through, only tiny worry is what you did against Barca in the second leg at home, sat back. I still believe 3 goals is too much to overcome.
Scholes....you...idiot...
FORZA ROMA!!!!!
Smile even though its breaking
After seeing the first tackle of Scholes, I knew he was going to go. :\
With ten men though, 2-1 is not at all a bad result. Rooney and Ronaldo played well I thought, the former getting a goal (at bloody last) and the latter showing that he can stay on his feet through all but the worst tackles.
Simply the Best!
2-1
Decent result...considering. Fantastic goal by us, great break by Ronaldo, great pass by Solskjær & great goal by Rooney.
As I feared there was trouble. God knows the consequences.
Forza Roma my ass. It took 10 men & deflected shot & a ricochet to win.
Old Trafford Ahoy.
