Could be down to that fact yes fact that you were walking it without even playing that well while we were drawing with city and losing to boro, although I did pose the question about two days ago if the 4-1 defeat would put you on a bad run...the gate open but we still have to go though it Villa will be very tough today I feel.

I love Murphy one of my fav ex Liverpool players and that was before yesterday, your right about Gerrard and Torres them two together and fit hold the key think they have played 8 maybe 9 times together this season but now they are looking like they were last season clicking very well.

United will still win it, I doubt Liverpool will go the rest of the season 100% and, assuming the game in hand is won, Man U will have to slip up twice more.

Although, Chelsea have wasted a massive chance.

Utd's team selection was poor yesterday. Starting with Berbatov as our only striker. Carrick on the bench? Scholes starting despite being woeful vs Inter and then bizarrely replacing Carrick vs Liverpool with the score at 1-2. Carrick + Fletcher should be Utd's centre mid partnership in every game between now and the end of the season. Not sure about throwing Fabio into a title run in.



To be fair I can see you winning by 3 or 4 today. Villa are in a bit of a slump at the moment. Hope I'm wrong though.

United are certainly still in the box seat and the Euro draw could help them as well.

If they can wrap up the Porto tie in one game then squad rotation can be used that little bit more I think.

Liverpool need to keep winning and if they do that the pressure cranks up, of they don't then it's likely United are gone into the distance.

A few Liverpool consecutive wins now would at least see the race go to the end of the season when it looked like a procession for the past month or so!

"Squeeky bum time" is almost here!

We've finally got them both fit and firing, it's no secret that these two are by far and out our best players, now we have them both fit, confident and in-form, sides will certainly struggle more when parking the double decker against us.

Very important for us to get a result today, United are looking a little out of sorts, and it's up to us to put them under as much pressure as possible.

I see Utd are playing on Sunday 5th vs Villa and then Tuesday 7th vs Porto. Does Rafa still think Utd fix all the fixtures?

Yes..................Yes he does

1 0 Liverpool KUYT

Believe in Dirk and he shall score.

2 0

3 0 Gerrard pen

4 0 Gerrard free kick

Villa are shat.

They seem to have lost the plot in the last few month

They`ll go 4-5-1 at Old Trafford and Friedel will have a blinder.

Be suspended, won't he?

5 0 Gerrard penalty

Although Liverpool have played well, it would be an embarrassment to the Premier League if Villa finished 4th. Absolutely awful.

I cant understand why they got themselves knocked out of the uefa cup to "concentrate" on finishing in the top 4 that really worked didnt it

Dunno mate-turned it off at half-time!

Just read they`ve been given another pen-so I`m assuming that`s got something to do with it!

No doubt they`ll put Agbhon-Agbhon,Gabby in nets and he`ll have a blinder!

Since they signed Heskey. He's upset their balance.

When did they last win?

Close

I thought we would win but not as easy as that.
