Get back to your prawn sarnies, monkey boy:D

So, I go into the lions den next week with a winner takes all match... luverly, wouldn't have it any other way, another trophy season (even if it was the worst one I've ever seen from the 'Pool) and a grandstand finishing game.

Well done Newcastle, although they didn't play well apparently.

Bloody Anelka eh? I knew he'd get back at Le Boss eventually, still, if we can't beat Man City at Anfield maybe we don't deserve to play in the Champions league;)

Give the lad his moment of gloating, he knows he supports an inferior team, as do all Man Ure supporters, I should know, most of them live in London...

As I understand it, most mancurians support city :confused:

I guess that not all of them are glory-seekers, like everyone makes them out to be.

Me... Glory-seeker? You are just jealous that you weren't born on the right side of Manchester, or the right city for that matter! *Scoffs* You dare to compare your bunch of lads to utd??? *Another evil laugh*.:p

Welllllllllllll... being as you brought it up...

Wasn't this season the first time you've beaten us in any competition for like, five years? Didn't we beat the snot out of your wonderful boys in Cardiff earlier this year in a (gasp) CUP FINAL... Isn't this the poorest season we've EVER had?

Just remember, football isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that:D :D :D

Come and talk to me the year you win five trophies in one season:p ;) :D

All I know is that we are going to win the league, and you're not. Ok enough squabbling, it could go on forever. But I've always had a soft-spot for Liverpool, I'm waiting for the day when Owen partners Nistelrooy up front. :D

hehe, WinterMute, some top points raised there, um *cough* five trophies! :D oh, and um, HOW many league titles have we won??? hmmmm ;)
great shanks quote there too...

wes, as much as i hate utd, i gotta respect them, very good team, still not good enough to win champs league mind, but then, none of the teams in england are i don't think. seriously though, it's the fans that i dislike more, they're way too arrogant, there are exceptions of course :) i don't think i've ever had a decent football convo with a utd fan, this being the first i believe. it's all good natured, and that's the way it should be :)

come on you gooners!!!! ;)

Man Utd. won it a few years ago, but after seeing Real Madrid, we still have a ways to go. But Real have old players, wait a few years and utd. will have some whippersnappers to whiz past them. :D

Oh, and thanks about the site!

Yes, congrats Man U, Leeds wait till the bitter end to start playing some football:D I'll bet Wenger's gutted...

I have intelligent converstaions with a Man U supporter fairly often, my wife supports 'em, luckily not just cos Beckham plays there either (although I think Cantona had something to do with it;) ) She actually knows her footy... for a girl:p :p

Here's to Saturday and a damn good game, then we can watch Arsenal win the FA cup and start speculating about next season.

Fair do's, congratulations Manchester United, Arsenal ran out of steam and didn't really have a big enough squad to do it. Over here were going to have 3 games televised at once including Liverpool vs Chelsea. I'm getting excited now. This is the cup final of all games.

Good Luck to Paolo's happy hammers. I'd like to see them stay up and Bolton go down. Not a football decision though, an ex girlfriend comes from Bolton and goes to all the games. In fact when Bolton beat Liverpool 2-1 last year, she was on Sky Sports jumping up and down celebrating!!! I was not chuffed!!!!

Anyway, Man Utd celebrate now cos In 3-4 years, the main challengers will be Darlington and Liverpool. A new dynasty is going to appear. Come on Darlo, George get your wallet out. Forget Faustino Asprilla, only Ronaldo will do this season.

hahaha, we've all been wondering what game we're gonna get stateside, it's looking good now as the 'pool game is the biggie. we were making plans for me to get a powerbook in the pub and hook it up to the cable and tv system so we can stream the sideshow over the stereo etc. the e-season ticket on the lfc website is actually pretty darm good. :) hopefully there'll be no need.

we're by the bollocks over here though, my uncle just tried getting Setanta (satellite co who have the FA Cup rights) in his pub, and they're like, nah, we have enough pubs in nyc carrying it. WTF!?!?! there's about 3! talk about stupid. it's easy money in their pocket. argh, some of these companies make me so angry!

I was in the pub yesterday watching the match....what an atmosphere! It was a great game to watch, even if we did lose it. What annoys me though is that many teams seem to reserve their best football for when they're playing against arsenal. Look at what Leeds, Bolton et all have done.

All the same though, congrats to man utd. They deserve the title, considering how hard they've battled this season. Enjoy it whilst you can wes, because next season...... ;)

likewise mate, i always get nervous when liverpool play a "lesser" team, we always muff it up. and we always seem to bring out the best in their goalie too, the amount of games lately where their 'keeper has been man of the match....

PS - do ya reckon Middlesbrough and Newcastle are metaphors for Apple? I mean, they all look like they're going to breakthrough to the next level, but then oh no! Something happens! As a Boro and an Apple fan, I'd have to say yes, but what does anyone else think?:confused:

Houllier reports that he's been promised at least 15 million for purchases in the closed season regardless of whether the 'Pool qualify for the Champion's League or not, he specifically mentioned Cisse and Damien Duff as targets, but mentioned that he was also tracking two or three other possibles.

No mention as to anyone exiting Anfield...

Any thoughts?
