NAMING RIGHTS THREAD: Liverpool really won't win the Premiership 2010-2011

'you just can't beat this utd team'

no shit, it appears to be in the rules

nah every time they come back from 2 down it feels like this. that Villa game this season? that was worse

Just gonna let you guys vent

when they beat us 5-2 and we ought to just have been grateful that our keeper was left on the pitch, oh the lols.

the hit that a team takes when calls like the vidic red go against you, even at 2-0 up, makes a huge difference. west ham knew it today, blackpool knew it a few weeks back- you have to do more than just beat utd- you have to beat them without allowing the ref any excuse to redress the balance.

yeah i'm totally taking back that trying to be fair bullshit, vidic should've been off.

Can't wait for the red-nosed old drunk to rant on in the papers tomorrow about how the media is totally against Man Utd despite their title-winning performances.

Kights is on the bench today. Didn't think he looked good enough for the Prem in his v. few outings at the start of last season, and don't know where he can play really: couldn't pick him over Jarv or Hammill. Wish him well tho.

Karl Henry vs Joey Barton cd be everything that David Haye's bouts never are.

younger brother- utd fan- "ah well, you get a kick from the bitchin at least'

I can't even vent at that, it's so wrong. It's even worse because Utd were going to win anyway, now there's no title race and they didn't even have to earn it. I mean, what was the fucking point of even watching?

"ah well, you get a kick from the bitchin at least'

Anyway, enough. Liverpool looking good for sixth I reckon.

and they didn't even have to earn it

Harsh. Despite the poor decisions

Could probably do with Pool winning at West Brom today but a Hodgson win wd be the lol-er story.

utd have made good use of their ref bias all season, and have been effective despite being ugly and shit- and you have to take into account how poor chelsea and arsenal have been for long periods without playing their ref cards as cleverly as sir alex, so no, tbf, utd deserve to win the title this season.

league table doesn't lie imo

Chelsea won two titles being ugly. Not shit tho.

Rooney's two non-penalty goals today were far from shit or ugly. See what you want to see though.

talking about over the course of the season, don't see how you can deny this is probably Fergie's worst side of the last 15 years.

I've never denied this is not a great team but somehow this idea has arisen that every Utd win this season has been an ugly grind. Still played some great stuff (in patches) and scored some fantastic goals

both rooney's goals were lovely goals- clearly acknowledged the first above, tbh.

but utd have been ugly to watch and stutteringly poor for large parts of this season- that's me seeing exactly what i don't want to see tbh

fuck sake carragher, 2 hoofs in the first minute.

The guts of an exciting team are there though imo. Just need that mythical creative midfielder.

oh sure there were some nice goals from rooney. but that still doesn't stop me from thinking FUCK YOU ALL.

oh yeah, in patches- but very patchy patches.

and while there have been moments of real individual brilliance- yes, even from rooney- they are isolated and forlorn snatches of greatness set against a team with no real cohesion or attacking momentum.

even when chelsea were winning titles 'ugly', they'd swat teams aside with pressure and thrust. utd and arsenal played rings around teams in the 90's and up until probably 2004 on their way to titles. even the utd of ronaldo/rooney axis of evil could consistently destroy you on the counter.

and yeah- i agree with you that there's the guts of a really good young team there! keep the fuck away from modric, bale, even thudd would make a huge difference imo

LOL, you guys don't like Man Utd very much, do you?

(i'm calming a litte, can you tell :) )

we hate injustice and will post against it in all its forms tom

I hate Ferguson more than I hate Man Utd tbh

But I suppose if you're primarily a fan of English football, Man Utd are obv. the team to hate

we need a cricket thread because OMFG GOODBYE TENDULKAR GAME OVAH

sb territory sam

Anyway, nice having proper football back innit?

All the day needs is a John Terry Shawcrossing to round it off.

haha yeah xp

stoke

stoke

RIP John Terry, shame.

mccarthy will not be delighted

spread bet on Utd win covered only 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 3-2 and 4-3...amazing how often this happens ha ha

'HEY NANDO LOOK THAT'S WHERE THE GOAL IS'

Do Stoke fans ever sing Rory Delap's name to the tune of "Rupert the Bear"? Cos I wd be tempted.

Words are apt too

There's a little footballer like you've never seen before whose a lot of fun.
Children every where grow to love him more and more he's the number one.
There's a million stories to be told of the things that, he's done.
And he's going to share them all if you so come along.

Oh Rory, Rory Delap every one sing his name.
Rory, Rory Delap every one come and join, in all of his games

There is Badger Bill, little Tiger Lilly too and a whole lot more.
They are Rory's Friends and they are waiting here for you so unlock the door
There's a magic land not far away from here and they call it, Nutwood.
Where you'll meet a little teddy bear if you are good.

Oh Rory, Rory Delap every one sing his name.
Rory, Rory Delap every one come and join, in all of his games.
Oh Rory, Rory Delap every one sing his name.
Rory, Rory Delap every one come and join, in all of his games.
Rory, Rory, Rory.

2nd verse to be rewritten

http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/wayne-rooney-3-west-ham-8935770/

"little Ryan Shawcross too"

There is Kenwyne Jones, little Ryan Shawcross too and a whole lot more.
They are Rory's friends and they're waiting here for you so unlock the door.
There's a nasty man not far away from here and they call him Pulis.
And they say he'll stick the heid on you if you're not good.

right, fuck football, I'ma go play Katamari.

Skrtel!
