You were wrong, man u did not field the strongest side. Chelsea did and they won.

I cannot believe Arsenal, Liverpool and Man U have not won at this ground for a while. Now please whack the hell out of them at stamford bridge.

I'm so glad I'm wrong. I was rooting for Chelsea to win, to run their guts out and win Man U. Perfect result for me. Man U lost and re-open the league race to Chelsea and Chelsea fielded their best 11 in such a competitive match. Hope chelsea's first 11 dun recover so fast, especially with those above 30.

The Reds has secured their participation in next season's UCL.
Next up is against Chelsea.

DIC deny Mourinho offered Benitez's job

Liverpool fans' groups have been assured that Jose Mourinho has not been offered Rafael Benitez's job as boss at Anfield.

In a situation similar to the one admitted by co-owners Tom Hicks that they did meet Jurgen Klinsmann last year to discuss a possible appointment at Anfield, it has now been claimed that Dubai International Capital have held conversations with former Chelsea boss Mourinho.

But sources at DIC have denied that they have ever 'offered the job to Mourinho, or met him to discuss it.'

And DIC's representatives, who have good relations with a number of Liverpool fans' groups including the recently formed Spirit of Shankly organisation, have gone to the point today of contacting them to deny speculation over Mourinho.

They are aware that Liverpool fans would react with horror if they believed Mourinho was a possible replacement for Benitez, who has been shown that he has fans' full support to continue in the job.

Anfield supporters have not forgiven Mourinho for much of the rhetoric and confrontational attitude towards the club taken over the years by the Portuguese coach, particularly involving the Champions League clashes between Liverpool and Chelsea.

So it is being greeted with suspicion that more speculation over Mourinho and Liverpool has surfaced just days before the clubs meet again at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday in the Champions League semi-final second leg.

DIC are acutely aware that if they do eventually take over at Anfield, Benitez has complete backing from the club's fans and any move to dislodge him would be a massive PR blunder.

It is believed DIC have actually been contacted twice by intermediaries for Mourinho suggesting a meeting, but the offer has not been taken up because they are happy with the job Benitez is doing and they are very aware of the reaction from the Kop fans.

Benitez is also believed to be aware of DIC's stance as he bids to take Liverpool to their third European Cup final in four seasons.

Another news today from soccernet regarding the news above. Hope that DIC will not be doing this if they manage to buy the shares from the American owners. Rafa is doing a gd job & let him continue Liverpool's pursuit for the EPL title.

I think we fans should start looking for a manager to replace Rafa.

Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres were pipped to the PFA Players' Player of the Year award by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Liverpool duo were among six nominees for the accolade but had to settle for a place among the PFA Team of the Year.

United winger Ronaldo retained the award after scoring 38 goals in all competitions so far this season.

Despite netting an incredible 30 goals in his debut season, Torres also missed out on the Young Player of the Year gong to Cesc Fabregas.

Gerrard, the highest scoring central midfielder in the country, can at least take comfort in the fact he won the main prize in 2005-06.

The Barclays Premier League Team of the Year, as voted for by the professional footballers of England, is: David James (Portsmouth), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd), Nemanja Vidic (Man Utd), Gael Clichy (Arsenal), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd), Ashley Young (Aston Villa), Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal), Fernando Torres (Liverpool).

I can understand the rationale why Torres lost out to Ronaldo but to Cesc Fabregas?

he is one of the worst players Liverpool have. His presence on the team does not help at all. He is not a consistent player. Even he runs here and there.Sometimes I wonder if he is a Liverpool player at all.

It was really great to see these 2 players having a go at each other. It really showed how united the chelski team is.It would be great to see them fighting among themselves and Liverpool would surely go through.

Bro, I'm afraid it only shows how much these players are world class winners. We sorely need players with that mental strength.

That's the reason bro - because he is arrogant. Torres simply goes about his job.

Never mind, these awards mean shit anyway. What matters is how the players contribute to the club.

Bro rahl, I beg to differ. I see it as their team can win together, but not lose together. Unlike them, I won't want to see any other Liverpool player going at Riise's case after his own goal.
