Berbatov : £30m. Keane : £20m. Beating United : Priceless

Liverpool 2 – 1 Manchester United

Well. Well well well. They say a pessimist is never disappointed, and I’ve never been a fan of tempting fate – which is why my previous post was so negative. But it was also like that because, well, I honestly didn’t expect us to take anything from that game. Not a sausage. After three minutes, I expected a hammering. After the equaliser, I still expected them to nick it, but I was at least pleased that the inevitable defeat was at last going to come in the face of a pulsating match, a non-embarrassing performance, and not a whiff of controversy. It wasn’t until about ten or fifteen minutes into the second half that I even allowed myself to dream. And not until the final whistle that I believed we’d actually won it. That’s the ludicrous situation we’ve got ourselves in – a team that considers itself to be a title challenger treats a simple home win over one of its closest rivals as a fairytale result.

Squeaky bum time…

I hate playing United. Hate hate hate. Despite that run of Danny Murphy-inspired 1-0 victories, I have barely any fond memories.

Liverpool 2 – 1 Middlesborough

“Below-par Liverpool steal win against North-East rivals… Mark II” seemed to be the press consensus after this game.   I’m not going to get into accusations of bias, but simply state that I disagree.  

Tonight we’re going to party like it’s 1988

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the updates

Some words from our captain.

Too right, Mr Gerrard sir! Ultimately it doesn’t matter how we beat United this Saturday.  All the matters is that we beat them.  However before we get all fired up about what’s just about the biggest game in the domestic season over the next few days expect a few updates.   For the sake of completeness, belated reviews of the Middlesborough and Villa results and then a bit of a heart on sleeve rant and round-up about the last couple of weeks as a Liverpool fan.
