I expected it. In fact i would have been surprised if he made it. He stood around 5mins pissed thinking about the retake

Good game on ESPN2, Everton - MAn U

Soon! I can't wait to get back to another game its just been hard for me to get to one since summer school started. I think there is one at the end of August we might be coming to!

I suspect that it won't be long before you guys will be celebrating as well

Great job by Tim Howard.

Damn, I didn't think Everton had a chance vs Utd. today. I was wrong. I dvr'ed the match today, so I'll watch it when I get off of work.

It could be a lot worse, they could have been throttled 3-0 like Liverpool(sorry GHH, had to jab you)

Following Elessar's lead:

Well, Liverpool were Liverpool:

Dominate possession, but create little- Check.
Miss chances you do create, including obligatory Suarez sitters- Check.
Get caught with sucker punch as (supposed) inferior opposition shows you how to finish- Check.
Have manager question (correct) decisions on sending off and penalty's- Check.

Absolutely disastrous start to the year with Citeh, Arsenal and Utd three of the next four. What was more worrying was there was absolutely no visible excitement and motivation from the players for both the new season, and new manager/ regime. One of the flattest opening days in memory, with a result to match.

But at least Arsenal drew and 'Spurs lost. (Best I got.).

Here's hoping my first live action this season, up in Edinburgh on Thursday night, is a tad more fruitful from today. Or GHH will be a VERY pissed (literally, it being Scotland and it being Scottish whiskey) bunny!

Hail.

oh snap, I didnt realize you were a liverpool fan. It all makes sense with your views on Gerrard. (he was their worst midfielder on Saturday btw).

AS long you dont think Suarez is a world class player, then im ok with the Gerrard stuff.

[RichmondRedskin88]

So is this where I freak out like hell because my team loss? Alright here goes.... What the freakin does Man Utd thing is its doing? What kind of BS effort was that?!!! ...........eh it's one game. I've seen Man Utd lose a game. Not gonna get up in arms over a Utd losing on the road to a fairly good team.

Your still misguided views on Gerrard not withstanding ; it's pretty hard to think of any that came out with much credit from Saturday. Reina, then I'm struggling. Steven, like most of them (understandably given the whole philosophy and system is changing from what's been previously drummed into them) didn't seem to know exactly what his role was 'sposed to be. Even Allen who's averse to what Rodgers wants was getting caught out in expecting what he's used to, only to see his teammates on a completely different wavelength.

Suarez has World class ability. But Conference class finishing. One of the most frustrating players I've ever known. Dempsey can't come soon enough.

Ohhh Richmond.

You were doing SO well until you called the blue ***** a 'fairly good team.'

That's when it all fell apart.

Hail.

[ixcuincle]

There are still a ton of games to go for United, they'll be fine. Impressive job by Howard though.

Gotta admit, I saw RVP in the stands, and then come into the game, and had no ill will at all. RVP

eh any team that beats us has to be somewhat good. We may draw against some bad teams but we don't lose to them. Besides if I can remain calm when Utd choked away the title last year in the last weeks I think I can take a loss on the road at the beginning of the season
