Suppose why would he be watching Liverpool - Villa as an Arsenal fan unless he had time to kill. Chelsea - United is much more significant

In fairness a lot of Liverpool fans don't post in the Utd game threads, the ones that do seem to be the youngest fans. Fans of all teams with that maturity act the same.

So we can't comment on the biggest game of the weekend.

So people ruin this thread in return? It's all getting very childish and I have to believe that some of the posters on both sides are a bit younger than I gave them credit for

In the end though, the Glasers and Fergie really stuffed Utd.
Everyone knows Utd's midfield has been lacking for years but nothing really done about it

the class of 2013/14 is nowhere near the same as Scholes, beckham etc

oh this post just gave me the idea to watch class of 92 tonight haven't watched it yet, might cheer me up, or else more then likely it'll just make me cry..

Are Liverpool not meant to be still in with a shout according to some here so maybe he would have watched to see if they dropped points

Even the biggest Liverpool fans wouldn't think Liverpool have a shot at the title tbf, I'd ignore anyone who thinks that, it's pretty much City's with Arsenal and Chelsea fighting incase they slip up

What does your post add?

People are so precious about their club that they'd rather derail the thread further by claiming that people are trolls because they're having a laugh at their clubs expense or posting something that goes against their club.

Seriously. It's football. There are winners and losers. There are rivals and there's jibes. It's all part of it.

He's a liability when things aren't going our way although usually you can see it coming.. Horrible tackle from him he needs to go away and learn some discipline..

Didn't think Vidics tackle was a red card at all it was a yellow..

Ref was terrible anyway..

United need to do something with their defense first goal terrible and then to concede before half time and right after.. Cant be conceding goals at those times, like conceding goals in the last minutes of games, it should not be happening..

Nope, that was easily interpreted by the ref as a red. Cynical and dangerous enough to be well more than a yellow. Only *looked* a normal yellow in slow-motion. In real time it was just mean and dirty.

Was not a Liverpool fan who said it

just back from thge pub. Had to watch it with the most insufferable Chelsea "fan" (who only took notice of the game on the 50+" Flatscreen above his head once Chelsea were 2-0 up and kept saying "Thats my boy Peter" when De Gea or Cech made a save)

The standard of Refereeing in the PL leaves a lot to be desired. Several occasions in the first half Valencia went down under little or no pressure and threw his hands on the ball and got the free. Similarly in the 2nd half when Raf moved to LB he did a similar thing on a few occasions and won the foul despite clearly diving onto the ball with Keeper esque control. The decision to penalise Jones for Luiz bodychecking him while somehow letting Azpi away with cleaning Welbeck on the Penalty spot were fairly awful decisions. The fact Vidic got sent off for what he did was a joke too. If anyone in the match could have been sent off it would have been Luiz for leading into Tony V with an elbow and even that would have been hardsh.

Don't think any LFC fan thinks that. It was just a motivational bluster by Rodgers.

Signs of desperation if Utd fans make a big deal out of it.

David Moyes has now managed 48 PL away games at Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool & Man Utd without winning a single one

Be grand if the jibes were funny. Posting trophy counts and deliberately going against the grain on an incident that is clear for all to see (Hernandez goal being offside) is ****ing boring. If you're going to troll, make it funny. All the people that bite are just as bad. Boring as ****.

it looked bad as it happened from the stands so i can see why it was given. harsh but vidic is the only one to blame imo

Rafa deserved red for that challenge

To be fair looking back at it in full speed it was very aggressive and looked every bit aggressive frustration. Would it be so annoying if he tore hazard knee ligaments with such an unnecessary tackle.

I didn't think it was a red when i first saw it at all, it was a hard tackle but nothing more in my opinion..

The ref made bad decisions throughout the game, bad bad inconsistent ref..

As above, I'm not a United fan. Mourinho has always given the impression he was after the United job, while there were plenty of reports stating similar. I think most would believe it to be true

He was a "Chelsea Fan" from the minute he noticed they were 2-0 up ("Oh is that two nil they are up now?" Neither David De Gea nor Petr Cech's name is Peter. He wasnt watching the match. Just shouting things once he realised Chelsea were winning.

Oh God. I just opened this thread to see some of the reactions / predictions.

Duck Soup

I think if you're a United fan, you have to acknowledge that Chelsea were nowhere near their best today but still tonked United. That's a gauge of just how much work there is to be done at OT.

I also wonder if Moyes is ever going to be the manager to go out there and grab a game by the scruff of the neck for a win. He made his name making his teams hard to beat. That's fine, but simply not losing isn't going to give United the Premiership. They need to win the highest percentage of games possible, and I don't know if that is in Moyes' footballing DNA.

Just seen it again on the news. Vidic was nowhere near the ball. His intent was clearly to take out the player. And dangerous to boot. Totally justifiable red, even if in other circumstances a yellow might have been given.

Rafael's at the end would have been harder to justify as a red (nd might have been had Vidic not seen red). There was a clear difference between both tackles.

What? I see it the complete opposite. Harsh red on Vidic. Rafael's was a red everyday of the week. A cowardly tackle. A leg breaker if ever there was one and the worst kind of tackle in football.

Dowd was abysmal. He didn't even give a free for the Rafael challenge and only produced the yellow when the Chelsea players surrounded him.

I think the complete opposite i think the two footed off the floor lunge is much worst than a crunching tackle but i suppose its just one of those things that people are gonna have different views on..

What did moyes say in his interview anything of interest?
