yeah, that was a great second goal; made ferdinand and vidic look like crap.we were unlucky to lose though, a draw would have been a fair result based on the play.
I don't understand how Ronaldo is claiming another 40 goal season when he's missing sitters.
Berbatov is Ibrahomovic-esque in that he needs to want it always and not just now and then.
Clichy handballed it in the area it seems, everyone seems to be in agreement, though I haven't seen it. Then, Nasri was pulled down. So even if you assume both were given, and scored, it would have been 3-2.

Some good points there my man, it was an interesting game and yeah Berbatov has is on and off days, you are bang on the money with the comparising to Zlatann.
Ronaldo is passed it with Man Utd I think, not burned out... but just doesnt give a shit anymore. Fair enough he had an injury, I think if he gets his finger our and gets the passion back by Xmas... then I say we will see the same Ronaldo as last season.
BIG (and I mean BIG) penalty shouts for the referee to deal with. But penaltys dosnt always mean they will score. So perhaps the scores may have stayed the same.
To win the title?... I will have to go for Chelsea, but I would Like to see the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal challenging to get somethig new going in the league. Years ago it was always Arsenal/Man Utd for the title and nowadays its Man Utd/Chelsea.
Liverpool are... well to be honest, Chokers. Its true, I get to watch them alot because they have plenty of televised late night games on a Saturday which I watch when I get home from the footie. They draw with the likes of Blackburn, Bolton, West Ham etc.
This season however, I would like to think they have the mentality to go on. But I think it was Andy Gray who said that Chelsea still have a title winning squad with around 5-6 players injured, if the same happened to Liverpool then I dont think they have the backup to keep progressing.

Spurs are going to win the league. Bent as top scorer. Modric will be player of the year.
Hahaha. Even you find it all funny.

Yeah, but with Chelsea it's not so much the quality as the depth. Just because Carvalho/Essien/Drogba are out, doesn't mean I'd expect Blackburn to beat them. Conversely, just because those players are there, they won't necessarily win games against Man Utd, Arsenal, Li...st is quite short, admittedly.
If you took Carragher (and his cheating), Gerrard (and his diving), and Torres (if it's not a big game) away from Liverpool, then they'd suffer badly. Or Mascherano.

You have got it spot on my man, I think Liverpool are made up of about 5 players in total, too many rotation players needing to be kept happy me thinks.
I dont think for the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool to lose to each other is a season ending game. I dont think those games make a HUGE difference. I think its when they stroll into games expecting to beat Hull, Bolton, Stoke, Fulham etc. I cant believe Man Utd conceed 3 goals, against newcomers as well.
