A Tangent
When I started this blog, I made it a personal policy that I would only concern myself with all things Manchester United and not get involved with the goings on with other teams.
Sometimes however, the goings on with other teams DO affect Manchester United and sometimes I just feel obliged to stick the boot in for no other reason than for my own personal enjoyment.
Last Sunday, the clocks went back an hour but Liverpool fans must have felt like they had turned the clocks back 20 years.
Today, it was Halloween and Liverpool had their very own horror show, losing 3-1 to Fulham and getting two men sent off in the process.
This is typical Liverpool or, more specifically, typical Benitez who again treated the Premier League with contempt subbing both Torres and Benayoun (the best attacking players Liverpool have) with the match poised at 1-1.
Liverpool have a massive match against Lyon in midweek in the Champions League (hence the substitutions) and if they lose that, their season is dead and buried.
Last week, their Premier League season hung in the balance but a magnificent win against Manchester United gave them a sniff of a chance again. Today’s defeat against Fulham has nullified last week’s win. Their Premier League campaign is now over with a whimper.
Rafa’s position must be hanging by a thread right now.
The Liverpool supporters expect their team to be challenging for the Premier League and not just provide nuisance value every time they come up against Manchester United.
Anyway, it might have come a week late but it was nice to see Carragher receive the Red Card his defending deserved.
