Believe me Phil, you haven't stolen it. We've been diabolical.

Poor game though, but Alan Green is a right twat.

Alan Green is at times more bias than the Sky pundits.

 

[evertonfan]

He's a Liverpool fan. Having him commentate on an Everton vs Utd game (Pool's two fiercest rivals) is just recipe for disaster. He's been lambasting Arteta because he's spanish, he had a go at Scholes' commitment because he retired from international football ages ago and he just been having loads of little sly digs at both sides.

What a complete twat.

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

...Yeah.

Yeah, wasn't a great game. We have missed chances. Everton had a good opportunity and Van Der Sar saved a beauty.

I don't know why Fergie insists on having Scholes sit in front of the back 4 now - he is much more dangerous up forward in the midfield, we need some more attack, because Ronaldo just wasn't good enough today. Thank God for big Vidic

Why didn't Rooney play? Because its his old club?

 

[evertonfan]

Game over. This is why United are my favorites for the title. They were nowhere near at their best today but they've still won at a place which isn't that easy to win at.

Why didn't Rooney play? Because its his old club?

Because he's recovering from injury. Would have been a hell of a gamble to play him half fit.

I wish I could rep you but its not letting me! Totally agree on Green, he seems to think his view is divine and doesn't rate anybody else's opinion when it is different to his. He has a real problem with United I think, and yeah giving a Liverpool fan the job of commentating for the game of their big 2 rivals, well done BBC. I think he had a go at today:

Ronaldo
Nani
Ferdinand
Vidic
Scholes
As well as some Everton players

I think we may be starting to see the decline of Giggs' career, although I hope not. He hasn't started the season well, was completely left out last weekend and subbed today. He's stand in captain for Nev, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when Nev comes back.

: annoying result. Still top I though with a game in hand. I suppose rafa was right to make changes as the players had big international weeks, but it didn't work and we've missed out on two points we should be going for.

 

[Jaztheman]

I like Everton, Arteta is god.

 

[BigCrickNan]

For God Sake Spurs

 

[evertonfan]

YES! Take that you damn spuds. Made my day a hell of a lot better.

Tbh, Benitez lost the plot a bit today. You don't rest the best striker and midfielder in the prem regardless of midweek games.

LOL! Beattie's scored for Sheff Utd! He has more goals already this season than the entirety of last season. :laugh

Beats for England!

 

[BigCrickNan]

I'd take a point at Pompey and a good result at Porto though.

 

[Hooper]

Lol at that own goal by Young against West Ham

 

[PhilD123]

Isn't Benitez supposed to be focusing on winning the league this year? If he is, then why is he resting players for a potentially tricky away game against Pompey. I'm not complaining, I think its funny, but you've gotta prioritise the league if you want to win it, so you can't afford to leave out Torres and Gerrard. He ended up with pie on his face really today and deserved it for underestimating Pompey.

Yer he did the same last year and liverpool lost. But one thing to take into account Crouch and Voronin did very little compared to what they are expected to do.

 

[evertonfan]

That's because Voronin's a fat slag. Ukrainian manager's words, not mine.
