Why that goal was allowed to stand is beyond me.
The Wigan player was at least a metre off side.

Bring back the lineswoman please.

join the club mate. most goals seem to be offside lately. RVPs second against wolves was offside but the linesman was so far behind he didnt or couldnt see it

You played like a prat, Fernando
For fifty million quid I wanted so much more than this

You got subbed again, Fernando
You were running round in circles, getting nowhere very fast
I could hear the discontent
And scousers shouting at you from afar

You looked lost again, Fernando
For an hour Ancelotti kept his faIth in you

Then he snapped again, Fernando
Hauled you off, brought on Kalou, and he was even worse than you
And I’m not ashamed to say
The way you played last night, it almost made me cry


You won nothing in the air last night
You played like s***e, Fernando
Missing chances that my gran would score
You were p**s poor, Fernando
You played like you’d been out on the booze
Now there’s regrets
If I had the money back again
I’d buy eeyore, Fernando

You’re so overpriced, Fernando
Chelsea can forget their Champions League dream if you’re in the team

You play like my mum, Fernando
Do you still recall the frightful miss that went over the stand
Your close control so awful
That you looked like you should be playing for West Ham

You won nothing in the air last night
You played like s***e, Fernando
Missing chances that my gran would score
You were p**s poor, Fernando
You played like you’d been out on the booze
Now there’s regrets
If I had the money back again
I’d buy eeyore, Fernando

Liverpool's club record signing Andy Carroll has trained since Wednesday and is being considered for his debut after overcoming a thigh injury.

Martin Kelly is out for a month with a torn hamstring, but Raul Meireles should recover from a knee problem.

Wes Brown is expected to partner Chris Smalling in Manchester United's defence, with Nemanja Vidic banned and Rio Ferdinand unlikely to be fit.

Ryan Giggs is poised to make a club record 607th league appearance.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liverpool

Doubtful: Agger (thigh), Carroll (thigh/fitness), Meireles (knee)

Injured: Kelly (hamstring), Shelvey (knee)

Manchester United

Suspended: Vidic (one match)

Doubtful: Evra (unknown), Ferdinand (calf), Owen (groin)

Injured: Anderson & Hargreaves (both knee), Evans & Valencia (both ankle), Park (hamstring)


MATCH PREVIEW
Sir Alex Ferguson has long since achieved his stated mission to knock Liverpool off their perch, but defeat at Anfield would leave the United manager spitting more feathers.

It's the biggest game but only because it's the next game. But everyone plays football to get to the highest level they possibly can and the games between Liverpool and Manchester United are the highest category of games you can get

He faces a touchline ban after being charged for his outspoken criticism of referee Martin Atkinson in the wake of the midweek defeat at Chelsea. What would bother Ferguson far more is if his team's advantage in the title race is eroded on Sunday.

Tensions between Liverpool and Manchester originate from a battle for the lucrative cotton trade in the 19th century, and the hostility remains undiminished when the two most decorated football clubs in England go head-to-head. In the build up to this match, Kenny Dalglish responded to the prospect of United overtaking Liverpool's record of league titles by pointing out that the Anfield club still have the edge because they have won more European Cups.

Liverpool, of course, have not dominated the domestic scene since 1990, when Dalglish was first in charge. He quit the following February, and United have gone on to be 11-time champions under Ferguson's guidance.

Although this has been an unequal rivalry in the Premier League era, Liverpool have been rejuvenated by the return of Dalglish for a second spell as manager. He has been in opposition with Ferguson since their playing days in Glasgow, and will relish the opportunity to clip United's wings.


MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

• Liverpool have won their last two home matches against Manchester United, having drawn one and lost five of the previous six.

• United have the best Premier League record of any club against Liverpool, with 20 wins and 67 points.

• The two clubs have met 155 times in the league, with United ahead by 60 wins to 52.

• This is the 20th league meeting as managers between Kenny Dalglish and Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferguson leads by seven wins to four. Dalglish's last league match against United at Anfield was a 4-0 victory in September 1990.

Liverpool

• Liverpool lost for the first time in nine league and cup matches at West Ham last Sunday.

• The club have picked up seven points from their four league matches against Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea this season - more than any other club.

• They have dropped 19 points from winning positions. Only Sunderland (20) have fared worse.

• Raul Meireles has scored in three of the club's last four league matches at Anfield.

Manchester United

• United have won five of their last seven league matches.

• They are the Premier League's top scorers, with 62 goals in 28 matches.

• Tuesday's defeat at Chelsea was United's first against top-half opposition this season. They had won six and drawn five of their previous 11 matches.

• This will be Sir Alex Ferguson's 950th top-flight match in charge of the club. He has won 563 games, drawn 226 and lost 160. This will be his 50th league match against Liverpool (W23, D12, L14).

• Wayne Rooney has scored 98 Premier League goals for United.

Needs to find his way out of the squad, nothing against the lad who is a useful player at best, but his body makes him such a liability .. Dan Agger not far away from being in the same category.

First 15 minutes was the best passing and enterpise I've seen from Liverpool in a long time .. Not that it counts for much at nil-nil, but encouraging nonetheless

Evra's getting involved with the crowd. Don't you love it when the crowd is only 6 feet from the touchline. Really adds to the atmosphere.

That's what City are missing, and WHUFC when they move
