But you dont have a spine of a team thats as good as any, unless you mean a spine of a goalkeeper, one midfielder and one striker

reina, agger, mascherano, aquillani, torres.........find me any better in this league!!!

I see Stevie G remained that rolemodel of sportsmanship and stalwart of class he has always been last night.

cech, terry, Essien, lampard, drogba

You kidding me? Thsta hillarious. Agger? Not even in the top ten centre halfs in the prem, Masc so good he gets put at RB insted of being in the spine...and Aqu...the less said the better...

don't be silly blue nose, agger is a tremendous centre back who will only get better and better (remember he is still young) only rafa knows whys masch is played out of position, and aquillani is extremely skillful and is the urrent golden boy of the italian national team.

i'll give you essien but cech is so good that he is being shipped out in the summer because of his very poor form this season, terry is a serial shagger, drogba better than torres







and the less said about fat f the better.

All of them struggling to get into the 6th best team in the prem's first XI, must be good.

Yeah, I know that. I was just simplifying it. Unlike other consortiums that claim to want to buy United, the RKs are the only ones who are engaging with fans. MUST has good representation at all meetings held with the RKs to ensure that whatever deal happens has the interests of the fans at the heart of it.

It's gunna take a few months I reckon for them to iron out all the details before they start bidding for the club.

I see Pini Zahivi (sp) has got a consortium together...the Glazer's couldn't be happier, they can now auction the club between the two sets and get the highest price. Hopefully the RKs can outbid this snake though.

I think the Glazer's will try hold on until a deal has been sorted regarding individual TV rights, as United would be able to milk $hit loads more cash than any other PL team, upping the value of the Club. Although this could be one of the only ways to save United whilst the Glazer's are in charge, it would kill the Premier League.

That is unless of course ST holders fail to renew by the thousands this summer. The Club is already e-mailing people getting them to join the magicial waiting list that doesn't even exist anymore.

At least Drogba and Lampard manage to get on the field on a regular basis.

Yep.

we may be sixth but we're still above you.

Cech being shipped out in the summer??? First I've heard of it. His very poor form this season? There's no doubt that he's not the player he was at his peak, but he's still let in less goals than Reina.

What does Terry's shagging have to do with the strength of the teams spine???

Drogba 19 league goals. Torres 13.

And I can understand why you don't want to talk about Fat F, seeing as he's scored one less goal from midfield than your super Torres has.

If you really need to compare the strengths of the spines of Chelsea and Liverpool, just look at the table and the achievements of the last five years. You're a headcase if you think Liverpool have a stronger spine than Chelsea.

You do realise Torres has been out injured for half of the season don't you?
You also realise that, despite having it pointed out before, the number of goals a goalkeeper lets in isn't the greatest indication of how good he is? Or are you saying that Hilario is a better keeper than Cech, cos he has let in less goals after all.

I'd rather see him getting animated for getting booked for a good challenge than accept it. If that involves giving the ref the v's or sticking the nut on him, I'm all for it.

Oh, and Liverpool's spine has never been a problem before.....now. Of that spine, Gerrard has had no form all season, Torres hasn't played enough games, Carragher looks alot older now and only Reina and Mascherano have looked anything like. If Gerrard and Torres can get their form back and Agger can get a number of games together, it should be rectified. Even in losing efforts last year you could always rely on the spine of the team to do well but even that is struggling currently.

The less said about the likes of Kuyt, Insua, Maxi and Riera the better. Babel finally looks to have a found a bit of form and gets on for 10 minutes at the end last night while Dirk Benitez gets a full 85/90minutes every week cos he works hard. Yossi gets hooked after 70 minutes despite being our only threat last might and anonymous Maxi gets the full game despite losing the ball 90% of the time.

As alluded to by RR before, I'llstill support Benitez but his decisions are getting more baffling by the week. If he can't risk Aquilani in a game against Wigan then we may as well ship him out and cut our losses.

Absolute top class entertainment.

Brilliant first fixture of the season to attend last night.

I do, but if you're claiming that someone is part of a side's spine, and that their spine is the strongest, it helps if they can actually get on the pitch.

Aquilani has barely played as well. And I don't even think he's done very much for you to have faith in him, but you're claiming him as part of the most talented spine in the league???



But Cech has consistently let in less than Reina, even when Liverpool actually had a title challenge rather than a challenge for 4th place.

Hilario's let in less goals because he's hardly ever played. But when he has played he's let in more goals per game than Cech has.

I've seen the photo of him with two fingers up in front of the ref, but from that picture it looks to me like he's just indicating 2 rather than giving him the v's.

What happened?

The ref surely can't say he didn't see it. He was stood 6 feet in front of him and looking straight at him.

Anyone watch Spain beat France last week? WTF did David Villa have on his legs? Like a blue strip on each? What's that about?

Glad Mark Halsey is back refereeing

You must have been the only one.

think you need to take your liverpool specs off mate

drogba is miles ahead of torres this season
gerrard has been poor as has mascherano

That is hillarious.

Reina - Fine, world class
Agger -













Everton have two better centre halves than him at least, let alone the CL clubs
Mascherano - Enormously overrated midfielder who doesn't compliment Gerrard at all. Why is he named and not Gerrard?
Aquillani - A player who has done absolutely nothing in the Premier League and who has written the season off. Big question marks over his career IMO. Stupid decision to sign him when they did.
Torres - Fine, world class. But he didn't do to well against Wigan

In reality Liverpool have Reina, Gerrard and Torres who are sensational players and a very average squad to go with them.
