Corn I'd have to take issue with your statement about United fans concentrating their songs on Liverpool. They went through a fair repertoire of songs last night including one about Andy Cole from what I heard. Vast majority pro-United. Also I think your assertion of Liverpool fans having more class in this area is a bit shaky at best.

I think his point is United fans generally have lots of songs about Liverpool or referring to scousers and sing them even when playing other teams. I don't think Liverpool fans have any songs about United. I've even seen United fans on Liverpool forums accepting this strange quirk in the relationship between the two clubs. Of course United have lots of songs about United as well.

This is of course leaving out when the two clubs actually play each other and you might hear the odd Hillsborough/Munich stuff.

Don't think it's that big a deal to be honest. The culture is different between both sets of supporters anyway.

QuoteOne classy thing Liverpool fans over United, you'' be hard pushed to hear Pool fans singing anti-United songs, more pro-Liverpool songs.

I was at Anfield and heard Munich songs being sung constantly ... if that's not anti-United I d/k what is!

when?

peterquaife · January 28, 2009, 12:45:15 PM

I'm no Sherlock, but this is the way the next two games will play out...Rafa's hand is forced and even he isnt stubborn enough not to pick what he genuinely thinks is his best starting 11. Liverpool win and the revival starts....well until the next game at the weekend, when Keane is dropped (after scoring tonight), Benayoun and Lucas start and another draw is the result.

Seanie, what he said!

I don't think it is shaky to be fair. It's a tradition of the club - one I really like. My favourite tradition is sitll appluading the opposition keeper even if it is United's keeper (and of course YNWA).

Predicting Rafa's teams is a fool's errand, but no better man...

I think he'll stick with 4-2-3-1. Aurelio may challenge Dossena for left back, though Dossena did reasonably well at the weekend. Mascherano protecting the back 4, Alonso to control the middle and then 3 lads supporting Torres, probably Kuyt-Gerrard-Riera.

With Gerrard and Torres linking up well again, Mascherano finally finding some form and Alonso being consistently good, I think this will be the formation for the rest of the season (assuming those mentioned are always available). Keane will be on the bench, and hopefully he'll get a run. I'd like to see what he could contribute in Kuyt's position in that formation.

GalwayBayBoy · January 28, 2009, 01:29:30 PM

Either way we need a minimum of 4 points from these two games this week but probably more like all 6 given the run that Man U are on and the fact that Chelsea, Arsenal and Villa are all right behind us.

gawa316 · January 28, 2009, 01:57:18 PM

I reckon we need all 6, which is looking doubtful with the form we are in, especially as utd never look like conceding never mind dropping points

QuoteI was at Anfield and heard Munich songs being sung constantly ... if that's not anti-United I d/k what is!

when?

At the FA cup match when Crouch won it 1-0 for Liverpool. The Munich abuse was constant throughout near the away end. The away fans were every bit as bad mind you. Whoever had the bright idea of putting Liverpool fans above the Utd fans should be shot as coins & liquids/p*ss rained down throughout the game.

Gerrard took a corner at the away end and some coins were thrown. He picked up the coins, went to a steward with them and pointed towards a fan and the stewards & police weighed in and pulled him out, much to the delight of the Liverpool fans. How Gerrard thought he knew it was him is beyond me as he didnt once look over at the Utd fans.

Was ath that match myself OTB, some atmosphere due to 6k United fans as well.

Was at the Kop end so couldn't make out Munich/Hillsborough because, I would imagine, it was relatively a small minority from both?

Yeah Pool fans have half bottle of piss thrown at them in OT too, disgusting by both fans.

Pool fans are always abover Inuted fans, just seemed to be a few absolute dogs in the Pool crowd that day.

Kewell absolutely busting Neville was one of the loudest cheers I have heard at Anfield, it was the match after the badge-kissing episode. Only decenet thing he done for the Pool.
