Liverpool have been poor this season. :S Just makes me lol @ the people who get carried away and place him on a pedestal now as if he is up there with Torres/Rooney/Drogba/Tevez etc. Berba is a firm B list striker at best. It's like last season and the start of this season when Chelsea where banging in the goals i never changed my mind about Kalou regardless of him also getting in on some goals, just seems a fickle view as "cityfan" said. Berba imo is FAR from the game changing strikers i listed above.

I agree and disagree, i agree he's not that good as Torres, Drogba or Rooney,(excluding Tevez, i think Berba is better) but he's not that far from them, but i think he's a very different player from the others and he's best skills are in organising the play and he has a great vision, and his touch is just class. I think hes best position for him is attacking midfielder. But that is just my opinion And it doesnt matter how poor are Liverpool, if we are talking about the derby, the games are awlays tight.

I can agree with that article

I'm satisfied with the result, but the playing needs to be improved even more.

I'm glad Ramires scored his first goal, he has been trying a hell lot these past few matches, and he is way better than he was in the first half of the season. I think he's finally getting the hang of the EPL.

Josh was outstanding, I freaking love that kid. He's so calm when the ball's in him, it's like he's been playing professional football for over 15 years. I hope Carlo sees his potential as an amazing AM, not DM.

And what does Sturridge have to do to get a place in the first team? It's pretty annoying that Carlo keeps playing Anelka instead of him.

Anyway, next are Everton, hopefully we won't have any trouble there and we'll proceed to the next round.

Up the Chels!!!

Fucking FA Cup weekend, next. *sigh*

Can't stand it at the best of times, doesn't help that Newcastle are out. Also, if Birmingham draw with Conventry it's gunna push the already-postoned B'Ham v Newcastle game back another month. Fucking FA. I hope Birmingham lose though, that'll put it our game on a Saturday

Realized I didn't post in here after the Spurs game, really frustrating draw, 2 weeks in a row, 2 90th minute goals, 4 points dropped. Annoying. At least we've shown we can play well without our two best players. We just need to be able to stick the ball in the net and wrap the game up (I'm looking at you Lovenkrands).

Can't wait for the return of Carroll and Tiote, though. We lack sooooo much creativity in the centre without Tiote - Guthrie is not up to it and Nolan, despite his goals, struggles to link up play.

Also, I cannot believe Pardew got rid of Routledge?!! Not the best, but a good aquad player. We need a right winger desperately, now. I hope the rumours about Krancjar are true.

I lol @ the praise Berba is getting or scoring against teams who are rolling over......

lol atleast he's scoring, doesnt't matter against who, he won us a lot of points with his goals this season, 3 hatricks for 1 season its not a small thing, and one was against liverpool which won our match, and i always supported him even when he wasn't playing good.

lol cityfan just shut fuck up man, why do you awllays have to talk shit about united or united fans, just watch your own fuckin team.

Sorry, but united fans piss me off so much. They talk like they love the club when 99% of their fans support them because they win trophies and have never been to a match. That's not being a football fan. If you ain't from the north west of england don't support united, support your local team who actually needs your support.

Andy Grey has been sacked from Sky!!! Happy days!!

"Andy Grey! Channel 5! Andy Grey! Channel 5! lolz.

Finally, I can watch Sky Sports without hearing him kissing Gerrard's ass crack every 5 minutes or saying the most obvious comments in the world yet acting like he's the first guy to ever come up with it.

And fuck what anyone says, his comments were bang out. I might sound like a bit of a dick saying that but they were terrible. He should have come out and apologised to that lineswomen personally. She must feel like shit. And there's like 3 or 4 incidents out now of him being a complete sexist cunt

Look at this:

Just hope Richard "smug twat" Keys goes as well.

[MikeNUFC]

They reckon Grey is out because other things surfacing. Just depends how "clean" Keys is i guess. Hopefully some interesting replacements are drawn in though and not vol.2 of them.

I hope they stop getting in ex-pros. I'm tired of the people at Sky thinking ex-footballers know the most about the game purely because they've played it.

To be honest, I think it may have something to do with Murdoch - getting rid of Gray takes the News Of The World phone scandal from the front pages. What adds to this is that Gray was taking NOTW to court over the phone scandal.

Could be a reason why Keys hasn't gone.

I see the "it's political corrrectness gone mad" idiots have come out alreay.

You met 99% of united fans? Haha thats cool, how can you talk shit of people you don't actually know, and how can you make such stupid statements when you dont really know the reason why did they become fans. Fans are fans no matter where they come from.And im not denying that there is some people that are fans because of the trophies, every BIG club has those fans. But i know a lot of people that became City supporters when the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi, and when they started to purchase so many stars. Oh and you want to tell me that there is no United fans from Manchester? And City have more fans, thats just laughable. What's next? Espanyol claiming to be the biggest club in Barcelona? QPR supporters saying they've got more fans than the Arsenal?

And read this article, its old but i don't think the numbers have changed, im sure that they even increased

That article is about season ticket holders, cityfan is talking about people who have never been to matches.

Yeah i know, i was reffering to some of his old statements saying that city have more fans, and stumbled across this article, which had a point and i thought posting it. And about the people who never went to a game, i think it will be hard to find a man from England who is big football fan and he has never been to a game of his favourite team, i think he is reffering to all the foreign fans. But i guess im not a real fan, because i've never been to United game, but you know some people like me can't afford the luxury to go to a game. It will be a dream come true to be at Old Trafford one day watching my favorite team.
