Alright I admit defeat. My judgment of him remains however, I just can't be arsed arguing.

And i'll look foolish anyway come tomorrow when he scores in United's 3-1 win at Goodison.

a rio mistake, by any chance?

 

[evertonfan]

No. Phil Neville scoring a 45 yarder.

Hang on, that was 3 and a half years ago, before his 9 month ban infact. I think Carragher might have had at least one bad game in that 3 and a half year period. Come up with a proper and recent example.

Here goes. Manchester United vs Portsmouth. Rio's terrible back pass beats Van der Sar. It wasn't Van der Sar's fault either.

 

[Will_NA]

Does giving away penalties count as a mistake?

Even though it wasn't given, in the 2004/05 season, Rio was caught by Ljungberg in a bad position and fouled him. Luckily for you, the ref had just cashed his cheque.

Oh please, we're giving away awful games now for one back pass, that was as much to blame VDS for as Rio, VDS came rushing out of his goal for it.

Well we're at the delving into the memory books. September 1999, Jamie Carragher scores 2 own goals as we win 3-2 at Anfield. Before any of you say it, I know it's not relevant, but neither is Molineux.

Was that in the 2-0 at Old Trafford or the 4-2 at the Library?

Both Nevs love United and hate Scousers! It's in their blood! Remember that own goal...

It might have 2002/03 and 2-2. I can't remember the score.

I do seem to remember something about Ferdinand fouling Ljungberg in the back of my head, can't remember when though. Rio's really only started producing his best for United since the 2005/2006 season I would say, and he's starting scoring a little. His finish against Liverpool and the nowhere to be found Carragher was immense last season at OT.

I'm quite nervous about tomorrow's game actually. Everton do tend to do OK against us at Goodison. Despite that, we need a win. Hopefully Tevez won't be too tired after playing 85 minutes for Argentina, and hopefully he can start scoring!

 

[PhilD123]

Oh dear, no Saha, he isn't injured as he's on the bench so it's strange to leave him out considering his impact on the Sunderland match. Hopefully Ronaldo will get forward and support Tevez. I would have had Rooney at least on the bench but oh well, prediction is 2-1 United.

I struggle to see how Sky think that Pompey vs Liverpool is more important than the North London derby or a Manchester - Liverpool game.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Hope Liverpool can win tonight.

 

[evertonfan]

Sky's blatant bias towards Liverpool continues. What does Portsmouth vs Liverpool have that beats two derby matches? Albeit the Everton/Manure one is just a Mersey/Manc derby.

Still, a derby is a derby. Sky should show the Everton one.

Btw, are sky the only station who show the soccer over in England?

If so, why don't they do interactive so you can choose what you watch? That's what the do over here in Aus on Fox Sports for the EPL. When there are like 5 games on at once, you just press red, and choose the game you want to watch.

 

[Monty57]

There is a channel called setanta who show 2 and bcc do match of the day if that counts and theres footbal first after all the game are finished you watch full 90 mins of the games

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sky do that with the Champions League.

 

[Hooper]

Still no goal in the Man U Everton game. Scholes had a golden opportunity missed it.

Oh great, Ronaldo booked for "diving" in the box. He didn't, bloody the boy who cried wolf.

 

[PhilD123]

Get in Vida!!!!! We've stolen this! By the sounds of it we haven't played well, but it doesn't matter, we should have the 3 points here! Fom what I'm hearing on the radio, its been a poor game.

It's wierd that the Aussies see more Premiership games live than us!

Spurs are beating l'arse as well
