well now we know that the referee’s uniion will punish fergie even if the f a wont; was that a statement of intent; or a corrupt ref dispaly? macherano had commited ten tech fouls before his first yellow; carragher conceededa pen[or maybe he ddint! and at least a yellow]
ref stops play for an head injury to kuyt that breaks up a united attack; but doesnt stop play for an injury to carrick; they go onto score! carragher last man fouls owen a straight red…nope wrong again; slap wrist fergie and keep it shut…or else

What a result!

I’ve had my head down for a few weeks looking for any excuse not to read the site daily for fear of all the Rafa kicking, hoping that we’d get a result that would unite all the fans. Todays result has to be the one.

From front to back, the lads were awesome. Lucas in particular, given all the flack the young lad takes.

Hard to believe that after the run we’ve had we’re still ‘only’ 6 points behind Chelsea and 4 behind United, with key players to return and many more to hit top form.

The future looks better than it did this morning. Long may this continue!

Boys, its 9am here in the North West.

Quick update for those not in this area, its very windy but there is not a cloud in the sky at this time and the sun is shinning.

Perfect weather for giving Utd a hiding.

Quick bit of breakfast and im off. Anfield awaits. We are going to beat these today, i can feel it. Love him or loathe him, Benitez will get an overwhelming amount of support today and he deserves it.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

Im like a kid at christmas, by far the greatest league fixture in the Premiership calender.

How come you werent moaning about this at the end of last season then when we were brushing teams aside?Including wins over Man U and Chelsea. We overachieved last year with our squad not underachieved.

Kopite 999 the inaffectiveness at corners has been a feature of the last 3 seasons, to talk about it is not a knee jerk reaction against the manager nor is it getting on the teams back it is a statement of fact.

It is also the main reason in my view Liverpool didn’t become champions last season.

Kopite999 is right they were booing the decision. Voronin is a poor centre forward, but on top of this his confidence is rock bottom because he knows he is out of his depth, which really isnt his fault.

I mean he’s better than me, but if i was offered a contract to play for the reds i’d take it, even if i was going to get laughed off the pitch.

When he does play he does not want the ball, he gives the ball away with so much ease and for a centre forward he spends little or no time in the penalty area.

Ive got a real funny feeling that we are going to beat Utd tomorrow and then go on an awesome run of form which will leave us challenging for the league.

Come on you reds.

The booing wasnt at Voronin. It was for Rafa’s decision to take Benayoun off.

Hi guys what i did not like is the boooing to Voro whan he was coming in, maybe yes he is not a great footballer but i am sure that did not help him nor the team i totally desagree with fans booing ther own team. booing your own players is like shoting yourself in the leg.

Didnt Gerrard score with his head from a corner at West Ham? I personally think you should judge a manager at the end of a season. No knee jerk reactions and fully support the team and manager throughout. But for some its easier to criticise than to get behind the team.

While I agree with the what is said in this artical I do have questions about certain aspects of the teams grossly inaderquate performances when it comes to corners which raises questions about Raffa’s management .
When was the last time the team scored from a corner?, last season the corner count for many matches got into double figures, mostly the draws which cost the team the championship, without a goal being scored.
Liverpool don’t score from corners anymore and its getting that way for any set peices in front of goal. That is a question not for the owners but the manager.
