Todays a good day to be a Liverpool fan.

If they had Arshavin it would have been 4-4

 

[Vieira151]

Maybe. Liverpool could have had more as well. That Suarez effort that hit the post was ridiculously good.

 

[captain folms]

Yeah well it's 5-0. Embarrassing for League leaders.

 

[crodio]

Did you saw that ludicrous display last night?

Let's all take the time out of our day to acknowledge that arguably the best CB in football now plays for the New England Patriots. That's all.

I am very excited about this as well. Although Wilfork has now asked for a release today, which is like a dagger to the heart.

 

[Overgaul]

Man City could get a whole new team years ago but now they haven't been able to bring in just a proper centreback, which may have costed them the league and removed any chance of making it through the uefa champions. gg

Absolutely true...but I think letting him go wouldn't be the end of the world. Unfortunately I don't think he'd be the player he was in years past. Hopefully I'm wrong and he goes on to light it up for some other team this year. If he does end up leaving, surely they're drafting a DT Round 1.

What do you guys think will be the Man Utd v Liverpool score? If Liverpool keep up the form from the last 7 games they'll score at least 3 (21 goals in 7 games). 

 

[Oyipggy]

I'd expect Liverpool to win, but wouldn't be surprised to see Man U get a result.

 

[Vieira151]

Yeah it's a game I expect them to be fired up for, like they were against Arsenal  in the first half of the season. Especially since Moyes is ex-Everton.

 

[Vieira151]

And so we keep our average of 3 goals a game for the last 10 games. Man Utd were terrible today.

It was funny. Stevie missing that 3rd pen was painful though, I can't remember there ever being a hattrick of penalties. Moyes is a footballing genius. All in all, most exciting prem season that I can remember and thats coming from a Newcastle fan.

 

[Vieira151]

Apparently Jan Molby, who was Liverpool back in ye olde times, scored a hat-trick of penalties once against Coventry. It has been really exciting this year, so much change. Even at Newcastle. You were getting good, sold your best player and then your manager lost the plot and headbutted a player on the opposition team. Very exciting. 

 

[Fryingpan]

Come on Olympiacos!

 

[Mad Vader]

Yeah, come on Spanish-speaking persons and a few Greeks. Oh, well...

 

[Vieira151]

I heard that Man Utd's best player is 40 years old.

 

[Mad Vader]

I thought the best player was a Dutch mercenary with glass legs, but hey, some people think that grey hair is silver and no acceleration or pace is kind of cute.

 

[Fryingpan]

Can't fault what van Persie did in terms of goalscoring in his last season at Arsenal or his first at Man Utd. Can fault his mercenary attitude and sometimes his attitude on the pitch.

Giggs was just himself tonight. It was a shame Olympiacos failed to properly get going.
