RVP looks wrecked coming off at half time. If he doesn't score today he'll equal Torres's longest run without a goal at Chelsea.

I wonder what the "it's never your fault" chant was all about?

With tomorrow in my mind it's pretty obvious again

Torres has scored 14 league goals in 74 matches for Chelsea. RVP has 19 in 28 for United. There's no comparison.

Ah c'mon Officer Cambo...you can't go from being so good at spotting chants one day to completely missing them the next.

Where was the outrage when Reading fans were singing it yesterday?

Only I brought it up in the match thread it wouldn't have been discussed at all. Point proved anyway...
It's not what they're chanting it's who is chanting it.

It's disappointing to hear anybody singing it IMHO

I didn't miss it, just making sure because it didn't bother anyone yesterday.
Thanks for showing up and proving my point anyway.

Yes it was. Setanta Ireland. Free on UPC, plenty watching it going by the match thread.

I'm sure it is, but the "outrage" seems to be lapped up when it's United.

Apparently it was with you's, but what difference does that make anyway?

You can always tell there's **** all happening in a match when the faux outraged brigade arrive.

Well i wasn't watching it so i wasn't aware of any chants by Reading fans. I'm watching this match though and i've heard the chants. Liverpool aren't even playing Utd today so why is it being sung?

Maybe ask the people at the match and not try and use it as a stick to beat people sitting at home that have nothing to do with it.

Not really. I didn't watch yesterdays game live and if I did I would have had the same opinion.
The Munich and Hillsborough chants are never acceptable and always disappointing to hear from any set of fans.

To be fair you were in stirring sh*t yesterday before the first round of chanting had even finished. So nobody had a chance to comment on it, and when it was mentioned a few people commented on it.

Thanks for ignoring today's chanting and proving my point anyway.:rolleyes:

Hank Scorpio

go away monkey, too hungover to listen to this sh1te

what answer do you want, nobody here is singing it

That's just bullshìt, I waited to see if anybody mentioned it before I posted.

And I don't post during United games, so double fail.

I'll reply after the game of you have anything else to say.

I didn't say they were. Cambo asked what was being sung and i answered him.

That's fine, I believe you from your perspective, but it can be argued that doesn't apply for all Liverpool supporters.

Paul Tergat

left footed pass from Chicho there was awesome

Rayne Wooney

Superb play from Hernandez.

Hank Scorpio

tough angle for rvp..

Makes no difference whether you post during games or not, your first post yesterday was a pathetic attempt to stir up a reaction to chanting. Yet today there is no mention of it. No need to reply to me after the game, I think your false moral crusading against horrible football chants has been shown up enough to today.

The roar that goes up every time they win a throw in Uniteds half is embarrassing.

PhlegmyMoses

A load of Irish fans not at the game posting about what is being chanted. Jesus wept. Of all the things those watching from their armchair have no right to really criticise.

Anyway, Rooney is looking like he is coming into some form. His passing has been slicker. Good to see. Hernandez showing some good link play too.

and yet you have come into a match thread and only talked about that. its ****ing tiresome sometimes on these threads

Can't really remember a team perform as averagely as United so frequently, yet hoover up points this comfortably. Credit to Ferguson.

Valencia starting to make my blood boil.

Is the game over or something?

Please drop the chant discussion. It can't be discussed without petty point scoring. Keep to the football.

United were good between November and March, rather than average. Looked shaky at the start of the season and ever since the Madrid matches, though.

Paully D

Come on Manchester United!

Hank Scorpio

good effort there Adam :pac:

No, but they look very comfortable all the same. The 31 games before this one are over though.

1-0 is never comfortable, all it takes is one chance

Blatter

I wonder what chance of Pulis getting the sack if Stoke lose this?

They're looking like Sunderland under O'Neill. Devoid of ideas and don't look like turning things around.

Jimmy Iovine

Stupid yellow from Valencia.

Paul Tergat

Definite peno. Cmon now

MagicMarker

Don't let RVP take it.

dubmick

Wrap it up time, come on RVP

Will RVP take it?
