Gribz 745 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Should be a cracker on Sunday. Liverpool on their worst run in 22 years (4 defeats in all comps), yet Man U arent exactly firing on all cylinders yet are still top of the league. I can see Rafa getting the sack if he loses this game, and Sir Alex would love to put Liverpool out the title race in October. Massive game, Liverpool would get themselves 4 poits behind Utd if they win so all of a sudden they are back in it. It all depends on Torres and Gerrard but Im going for a draw though. Cant see Utd losing the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Can't believe I'm working 2pm-11pm on Sunday. I'll miss the Liverpool Man Ure game and the West Ham Arsenal game. I'm off next weekend but no doubt the games will be shite! Apparently Torres is expected to be fit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Arsenal v Spurs next Saturday lunchtime mate West Ham are due a win but cant see them beating Arsenal the way they are playing. I hate when Chelsea have an easy home game (Blackburn) and the others have tough ones, just dont want to see Chelsea win the league for some reason. But then again Spurs or Man city would be worse!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic. If Liverpool and Man Ure can draw and Arsenal win then I'll be a happy Gunner. I fully expect Chelsea to sodomise Blackburn tomorrow. Spurs will win as they're home to Stoke and Man City will win as they're home to Fulham on Sunday. No way will Man City or Spurs win the league. Infact, no way will they finish in the top 4. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Rafa Benitez will take charge of his 200th league game for Liverpool on Sunday - and we've unearthed some fascinating statistics comparing the Spaniard's record to rival managers. Benitez has won 113 of his 199 top-flight clashes since taking charge of Liverpool in 2004 - an impressive 56.8 per cent. This compares favourably to the records of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in their first 200 league games. Ferguson won just 87 from 200 (43.5 per cent) after joining Manchester United in 1986 - and it took the Scot almost seven years to collect a league title. Wenger triumphed in 110 (55 per cent) of his first 200 league matches following his appointment at Highbury in 1996 - a stat which was good enough at the time to win him a championship trophy in 1997-98. Meanwhile, just one Liverpool manager from down the years can boast a better record than Benitez. Kenny Dalglish won 120 of his first 200 (60 per cent) league games. Bob Paisley totted up 113 victories (56.5 per cent), Bill Shankly 106 (53 per cent) and Gerard Houllier 101 (50.5 per cent). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 To be fair to those other managers though would you not argue that the EPL is less competitive now than it was when they were managing ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 745 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 1-0 Liverpool - Torres! he is the difference between Liverpool being average and a quality team. Man U not at the races, I had them on half time / full time but they just cant get going. They are missing Ronaldo's class and quality. Torres would be an amazing signing for Man U. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
