btw i must say that i was quite pleased to see the true emotions of delight on Hicks n Gillett's faces when Torres scored n at the end when they both sang YNWA...but at the end of the day i still can't stand these 2 yanks and maintain that they must sell out asap...also enjoyed seeing the emotions on the faces of King Kenny, Gerrard n his chiobu wife Alex n Sammi Hyppia...

i haven't sang YNWA wif such gusto at my usual watering hole in quite along while...v pleased indeed:)

this was certainly a massive great victory over scum...more so since Fergie played his best/strongest XI agst a Liverpool team that did not include Gerrard n Acquilani(can't recall was Riera also injured?) n Torres/GJ were just back fm injury so probably not 100% fit...

it was a true entire team effort fm Rafa down to all his players...the hunger, commitment n desire to win was there for all to see...special mentions must go out to Reina(safe pair of hands); Carragher(back to his best); Aurelio(class freekick);Agger (looks like he is getting stronger); Lucas(finally bossing the midfield, although he still lacks creativity); Mascherano(also bossing the midfield but must learn to keep cool);Kuyt(for giving 110% effort); Yossi(for his great creativity n passing); N'Gog(for keeping cool to score a goal that looked simple but in fact was quite difficult to score) n Torres(this chap is not only a world class striker - that goal of his was pure class - he also showed that he is a true team player by coming back to defend at times and went deep to get the ball as well)...

Rafa was truly able to motivate his players this time ard and got his tactics right as well...the Reds effectively shut out scum's midfield n Reds defence was tight n solid...perhaps what is also telling is that Ferdinand,Vidic n Evra aren't that great...if i were Capello i wld be quite concerned because it wld appear that both his key England centre backs - Ferdinand n Terry r getting slow...also i think this match has shown that Manure may in fact miss Ronaldo more than what was previously tot...none of Manure's talent were able to conjure up any magic of significance...

as for Fergie n his usual sour grapes rants n raves agst the Ref...i say look at Berba's rugby 'tackle' on Kuyt where he got away wif 'blue murder' n a piece of Kuyt's jersy...n Vidic's second yellow was indeed a yellow if not an automatic red...i mean was what was Vidic thinking, was this a rugby match?...oh and Carragher's foul on Owen was no red card, because there was another man on and in any event it looked more like a tussle between him n Owen...

all in the Reds truly deserved their victory agst the current EPL champions...i hope they hv now truly turned the proverbial corner to go on a proper long run...

hamman is there as well. another true redmen. it's comforting to see former players coming back to support Rafa and the team when they needed it most. a good example for every true Liverpool fans to follow. get behind the team not critizing it when the team is down.

Rafa showed no emotion cos the game hasn't been won. Someone else wants to show emotion (like I did when Torres and Ngog scored), go ahead, but Rafa doesn't have to be like that righttttt. I mean, after a night like this, some so called fans will still find things to criticise???? (which btw is totally Rafa ;))

Lucas not only bossed midfield, he did the Alonso thing of breaking up United's attacks.

Best was the Ngog goal, the commentator was saying what a mistake to replace Torres, that shut up him for good heheh.
