Touche.
Apparently it's thanks to Rafa that Kenny's back at the helm.
Thought Liverpool played decent yesterday. I can understand why Scousers are slightly upbeat given the season they've had so far. They might even have nicked a goal had Torres looked even 10% like a player that wanted to be there.
That said United were clearly playing within themselves. I felt pretty despondent for about half an hour after the match because it felt like a missed opportunity to have given them a real caning. Then I realised we'd negotiated a tricky cup tie and forgot all about it.
For the record, not a penalty, totally clear sending off. Might've snapped Carrick's leg on another day.

King Kenny will cock things up long term, Liverpool were always going to be fired up playing against us. Lets see how they do at Blackpool
Dalglish has reacted angrily to suggestions he's been away from the game for too long. He responded by stating he's just here to do his job and knock Nottingham Forest off their perch
Perhaps not in public. He does have bosses you know. If the assesser told him he should've sent him off then it would be in his mind to do it in the next game. He also may have had different views of the two incidents. Either way it's not that weird. All ref's are inconsistent.
what penalties?
Giggs for one...perhaps?
Giggs and Evans.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Liverpool: Cheat to win, cheat to lose.
Liverpool: Cheat to win, cheat to lose.
Giggs was a decent shout alright dont rember the Evans one
I for one have had it up to here with the cup game - honestly no one loves to gloat over a United win over them more than me but christ they don't half know how to moan!! So let me get this straight because I have never got to grips with the finer points of scouse logic.
1. Liverpool, despite being absolutely terrible all season and having had Blackpool, Blackburn and Wolves hand them their arses on a plate (yes those leviathans of world football!) would have beaten the hitherto unbeaten league leaders? A team currently sitting 19 (NINETEEN) points clear of them? Away from home? the sheer confidence displayed by their fans is a clear sign of mental illness.
2. Obviously that is unless they went a goal down? Because lets be clear regardless of whether it was or wasn't a penalty, are you really telling me that the obviously superior team with King Kenny at the helm (yes suspend belief and come with me on this) couldn't find a way to over turn the deficit? of just ONE goal?
3. Ah you say Stevie G got sent off. Well damn Mr. Webb for applying the letter of the law (and justice I might add for his henious elbow that she shamefully got away with the last time they were dispatched from OT). Perhaps Liverpool fans are so used to him getting away with brutal fouls and this is at the heart of their chagrain?
4. Just how did Liverpool expect to win a cup game in which they offered absolutely nothing as an attacking force? and yet these idiots are happy to talk up the influence of cnut Kenny despite the man himself admitting he didn't prepare the team as he didn't have time! Perhaps he had organised an elaborate rope-a-dope tactic that made it look like they were outplayed but really they were just waiting for United to tire?
5. Why are they such bad losers (Babel and Paul Dalglish's classless tweets) when they have had so much practice?
6. Where does the confidence on CK come from? This is a man who inherited a great team and as a result of his incompetence set in train their demise before quitting as he realised he was cronically out of his depth. And THIS is their messiah? An incomprehensible scotchman with a miserable demeanour who is out of touch with contemporary football by over a decade is meant to have everyone running scared? Congratulations LFC, your metamorphosis into Newcastle United is complete.
Sorry for rambling but honestly no one can play the victim like these people. Apparently every time there is a perceived injustice anywhere in the world...a Liverpool fan is born.

Never thought Giggs was a penalty. Evans, however...
Well said sir. Not much of a post count, but you seem to have made this one count...
You need to post more, this is very good.
Why don't we rename this the "Liverpool General" thread? It's becoming a blight to the forums. I'm saying this as someone who loved this thread last season.
Blame the oppo fans that keep trying to take this thread off topic, it's gettin obvious now....
it should remain here as RAWK goes into meltdown, as it does so so very frequently that it's a constant source of amusement to me.
maybe the opposition fans - even the recumbent scousers who masquerade as arsenal fans, can start their own thread - perhaps
" RAWK doesn't go into meltdown, as it's always the fault of United who buy officials to help then win games ....... " or some other such nonsense
It baffles me a lot- i mean when they write about their past glory, Rafa, King Kenny, their “inevitable” come back to the top of English football they always use these cringe-worthy hyperboles, exaggerations, confusing figures of speech in order to evoke feelings as deep as one’s love to his nation or parents. yuck
Liverpool are releasing a celebration DVD of the game.
It's the hyperbole and romanticism that gets me. There is nothing more romantic or honourable about pool than any other club. I see words like integrity, the Liverpool way etc and yet in my football lifetime they have displayed no such qualities. And all this crying and wailing. fecking retards.
They should get Rushie La back to support Nando, Grobelaar to replace Torres, Barnesy to solve the winger problem and King Kenny comes back out of retirement. Then it will be on!!
Now thats as good as a post as any I Have read on this forum. Excellent points all and made very forcefully too.
In short, ye 'Spirit of Shankly', you can shove your King Kenny up yer arse.
I always thought Webb's childhood team were Liverpool, I've read it somewhere.
Also, wasn't he once caught on camera singing YAWN in a pub with Mike Dean?

I heard he was a Yorkshireman, supports Sheffield or Barnsley or something...

The YAWN article was a NOTW rumour, there was a thread on it here but it was never confirmed, and not really believed either.
The penalty WAS a penalty.
The sending off WAS a sending off.
Liverpool were shite and lucky not to lose by 3 or 4.
Not sure what all the hissy fitting is about. Agger was stupid for lunging in and Gerrard was idiotic jumping in like that. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it was an attempt at a strong challenge and not malicious but those tackles are exactly what the FA have been trying to cut out for a number of years.

Boycott the sun then take NOTW as gospel?
Don't know if this has been posted:
Was that them or us?
That reminds me of the Aquilani banner, good times.
It was a Liverpool fan on another forum I go to that made it.
What a cock.
Here's the banner in question, i can't find a better version than this.
"A Hero Will Rise" Hehehe
