That's the trouble with Man Utd fans - always, always gloating. You can't take the positives from a victory in a spirit of celebration, and you can't take a defeat in good grace. There always has to be an element of sneering.

Reminds me of that quote: "It's not enough that I succeed, you must fail, too." Insecurity in action.

I love a bit of banter, but posting a pic of the pissed-off Liverpool manager after your own team has had such a good night tells you everything about the Man Utd "fan" mentality.

Rooney played a blinder. Good luck to ya. Obviously, I'm mostly happy from the England angle. But if I ever take more pleasure from a Man Utd loss than I do from a Liverpool win, please shoot me.

Steady, boy. You know we don't all think that. Indeed you do

In just the same way that not ALL Liverpool fans would take any pleasure at all from seeing Man Utd win, not ALL Man Utd fans should be tarred with the brush that you have waved with gay abandon. You're not pi$$ed off at us, you were just nervous about meeting Hermione

Hahaha. Yeah. Sorry. Bit raw, that. The passion, 'n all. Apologies to all the nice Man Utd fans in the world, like Zoot and...

Erm...

There's only one Paddy Kluivert!

Pity I can't watch the fucking game over here though.

I'd rather have van Nistelrooy and Kluivert than van Nistelrooy and van Hooijdonk, or van Nistelrooy and Makaay. Still, if they can't play nice together....

A hat-trick for Shearer (and he missed a penalty), Souness' good run continues.

The Rangers game, however, has just gone into extra time . . .

edit - we won on penalties. Jesus, that wasn't good for my heart.

Cracking first goal from Kluivert and Jenas. He must have called for that backheel. But why the ref didn't allow the goal and not send the keeper off I don't know. More fair all round, especially after they'd used all the subs.

I think you'll find Mr. Shearer scored his penalty. Best one he's taken for a while in fact.

It'll do. Group phase cash please.

Yeah, Holland has this problem with strikers:

Van Nistelrooy
Kluivert
Makaay
Van Hooijdonk (extremely underrated player - this guy is GOOD!)
Hasselbaink
(Bergkamp)

The problem is more like having someone getting the ball to them, I guess.
Actually, if I were Van Basten, I'd select them all.
Forget the midfield, play with 5 strikers and 5 defenders.

btw, so Kluivert makes Newcastle happy at last? Good!

There was never a doubt for me, but he wasn't getting on the pitch at first. When he plays, he scores, so I'm very happy to see him getting plenty of playing time now.

[sings (drunkenly to the tune of My Way)]

And Now, The end is near
We've followed Hearts from Perth to Paisley
We've travelled far, by bus and car
And other times we've went by railway
We've been to Aberdeen
We hate the Hibs, they make us spew up
So make a noise you Gorgie boys
We're going to Europe
To See H - M - F - C
We'll even dig the channel tunnel
When we're afloat on some big boat
We'll tie our scarves around the funnel.
We have no cares, for other players
like Rossi, Boniec, or Tardelli
When we're overseas, the Hibs will be in Portobelly

[/sings]

Well done lads! And the Pieman is about to fuck off, too - all in all a very good week! (only dampened by Madrid - bastards)
