The biggest shock so far is that Gerrard has actually won a penalty without diving !!!

Man U will still win the title - four points clear and a game in hand. Not so sure re the FA Cup or the Champions League, but I think they'll come close. Will be the only consolation for the scousers that they did the double over ManYoo.

Fairly comfortable win, the funniest thing was listening to Dowie on commentary who thought that Vidic's sending off was only a yellow!
I though he literally rugby talked him down and was the last man!
Man U will win the league, probably a much need kick up the backside...

I think you are confusing him with Tranaldo, the supreme diver. Gerrard isn't anywhere close. Meanwhile, Patrice Evra must have played his worse game ever for United.

I saw many an example of that when Dowie was playing for West Ham years ago !

Are you serious ? Gerrard has perfected it so much now that when he dives with his arms outstretched, he actually turns to look at the ref in mid dive !

yeah that was a good line in self depreciating humour... actually he was being truthful... He knocked in a few goals during his career but missed a lot more...

I am going to commit the ultimate sin - I am going to question The God Of Football Management's team selection...............
Leaving Scholes and Giggs out with Gerrard in the opposition? Scholes would at least have kept him a little quieter for a while. Carrick is a good creator but I've never seen him as a closer-down of opponents.
When even Mascherano is playing well, you know something isn't quite right..........

Fergie knows his best team to play when up against the scousers, he knew that a defeat yesterday would still leave them as bookies fave's to win. One view is that he didn't want to reveal his best line up in case they face the scousers in the CL?
If that is the case, you can bet that Scholes and Berbatov will be in the starting line up, though I suspect Giggs will still be on the bench.
As for Iain Dowie, I think he actually talks a lot of sense and it quite pleasant on the ear, unlike that idiot Nigel Winterburn. However, one of the best match co-commentators for his knowledge of the game, analytical skills and summarising is none other than Stanley Victor Collymore.
In terms of his playing career - pound for pound one of the most talented strikers I've ever seen play - had everything, speed,strength, good in air, shoot with either foot, gifted beyond belief. Shame it all went Pete Tong.

Ok -here's the counter argument.
Fergie knows his best team to play when up against the scousers, he knew that a defeat yesterday would still leave them as bookies fave's to win. One view is that he didn't want to reveal his best line up in case they face the scousers in the CL?

I was listening to him a few weeks again during the January window, and he was spouting on throughout the show, how it was well known West Ham had to sell their best players, how we were having a fire sale, who would be left come the end of January after the sales of Green, Parker, Upson etc, and all the time, he had absolutely no knowledge of anything remotely true
How he holds down a job is beyond me, not to mention that annoying Black Country drone of a voice that he has

You are kidding right ? Have you heard Collymore on TalkSport ? He talks the biggest load of garbage and tries to sensationalise everything !
