Liverpool vs Manchester United, March 22nd 2015

[lebron]

I'd go:

 

 

-----------------------------Mignolet--------------------------

 

--------------Toure---------Skrtel-----------Sakho------------

 

Can-----------Henderson--------Allen------------Moreno

 

---------------Lallana------Sterling----------Coutinho--------

 

 

I still have a good feeling about this one, but I wish Sturridge had been in something resemblng form, and that Ibe was available again. 

 

 

That is a lot of footballers that do not score goals.

 

Well, all of the front 7 players have chipped in with goals this season, and I think it's more important that we function as a team (especially defensively, which in turn will give us lots of quick breaks near their goal) than having renowned goalgetters there. Sturridge seems unfit, and his questionable work-rate and lack of desire chasing lost causes isn't something we can afford when we're up against a team that relies heavily on possession and building from the back. Putting more "runners" in the side will fire up the crowd as well, instead of the Mancs silencing us because we can't get hold of the ball.

 

Just my opinion. The ideal scenario would be Sturridge harassing ala Suarez/Sterling, but that's not something he did very well when he was at his best last year, so I don't really expect it from him coming back from 5 months on the sideline...

[Anubis]

So you think I'm a Manc, A?

 

Funny. I'm not the one calling Rodgers a liar and a tool. Which is something you probably have in common with Utd supporters.

 

One little jest and you pop.

 

No, I don't  think you're a Manc. I think you're a troll who deliberately tries to wind people up while trying to maintain that you're just a reasonable guy in an unreasonable world. But just occasionally, the mask slips and the nastinesss seeps through.

 

As to whether you are a Liverpool fan, that I don't know. Given that you state you only have a passing interest in football I'd say fair weather at best.

[deiseach]

The more I look at that banner, the more I think what the fuck? Do some Mancs think Liverpool fans wish Shankly and Paisley were given the same gong they gave to Norman Bettison? 

 

It has to be a fake.

[Bjornebye]

Manc fans (especially the away element) often sing about Ronaldo making England look shite so that banner is odd as they aren't very nationalist. Fuck em anyway. Embarrassing.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

It's weird isn't it. Even the blackened "Sir" seems to be making our point for us. It's like they think we'd want two iconic figures with links to socialism and the local community to be a part of some elitist hierarchy.

 

If Chris Morris made a Utd banner, that's what it'd look like.

[The Guest]

Bill Shankly to Brian Reade.  “I am not really disappointed at not being ­recognised. The people who dish out honours are not my people. My people go to Anfield. If I can make you all happy then that is my greatest ambition.”

[magicrat]

How fucking pathetic.

Shanks would have pissed himself. He held Busby in huge regard and I think it was pretty mutual .  

 

 

[Major Tom]

No, I don't  think you're a Manc. I think you're a troll who deliberately tries to wind people up

 

Right and then wrong there, A.

 

1 out of 2. Not bad.

[Mook]

Let's ask ourselves a question, what would you rather have in Football:-

 

3 European Cups

 

Or...

 

An honour from one of the most corrupt systems in the history of the universe?

 

Let's fuck these over & bury them.

 

Alive.

[Major Tom]

I'm not sure many Mancs would give a fuck about those honours either.

 

Sport - and particularly football - is full of examples of petty one-upmanship. And this is just another.

Christ.

I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.

 

I hope I can make it across the border.

 

I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand.

 

I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.

 

I hope we get beat.

Well they made a banner about it, so we can ram it right down their fucking whiney little throats, can't we. Then the cunts can start fighting amongst themselves about whether they give a fuck about those honours.

 

Twats.

[Creator Supreme]

The Mancs in my office (plentiful) are quite chipper about that banner!

 

Anyhoo, back to business...

 

 

 

 

 

NIL FUCKING FOUR!!

[Faustus]

TRAORE 1

CANTONA 0

 

Don't the Mancs' shite banners usually go along those lines?

[Iceman]

I quite like the fact that the team's stories are so intertwined through the history we share. When I found out the truth I felt like Luke finding out he was related to Vader. It's the reason the game is so fucking spicy and I wouldn't have it any other way. The dirty shithouses. 5-1 and shock and awe is back.

A reminder...how the f**k did we lose that match? Need much better finishing on Sunday. A mauling is due.

"Banner the Mancs are bringing to Anfield on Sunday"

 

Christ.

I think it's fucking brilliant. They just don't know why.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Honestly, I think that's a proper compliment. I think Bill and Bob is much better than a Sir anything. Perfectly sums up the working class roots of the club.

[Guest davelfc]

They have always been Bill and Bob to us, fuck they're getting scared if that's all they can bring to a game now. 

[ratcatcher]

Yeah dont forget Busby served this club with distinction as a player too. Not many fans objected when he was rewarded with a knighthood but as for that other twat, he can just fuck off.

[deiseach]

A Manc who writes with all the élan of a teenager on speed thinks it's a brilliant idea. Unfortunately for him, his fellow fans in the comments are less easily impressed...

[TheHowieLama]

Bill and Bob's Excellent Adventure.

Those fuckers seems to forget that their precious "Sir Alex" left their team/squad in tatters for someone else to deal with.

Bill built a dynasty that continued through the next 3 managers.

He left them as champions and put in a 26 year shift. I don't think attacking him on his legacy will cut much ice. Shankly's achievement was taking a struggling 2nd division club with limited resources and turn them into a major domestic and European force. Ferguson was in the right place when the stars aligned and the sleeping giant awoke, He reaped the benefits of the best crop of youngsters ever seen in the modern game and was savvy enough to never let any player become bigger than him.

Bill was mercurial genius , Ferguson a lucky cunt who was good at being a cunt.
