Civic2000 Supercharged March 25, 2009 Share March 25, 2009 The following report is taken from Mirror.co.uk Sports Five reasons why the title is Liverpool's and five reasons why Manchester United could blow it FIVE REASONS WHY TITLE IS LIVERPOOL'S 1 RAFA BENITEZ Nobody plots individual matches better than Rafa but eight games in two months will allow the Spaniard to show he knows how to manage a season. Benitez has won a title from the big guns before, when Valencia pipped Barcelona and Real Madrid to lift La Liga. 2 STEVEN GERRARD & JAMIE CARRAGHER The side's heart and soul - they know just how much it would mean to end that 19-year wait for the title. Gerrard has been an inspiration all season, while Carragher epitomises Scouse conviction and passion. 3 FERNANDO TORRES The Spaniard has had an injuryscarred campaign but his movement remains magical. He's come on in leaps and bounds from the man known more for his misses than his goals at Atletico Madrid. 4 ANFIELD The Kop are Liverpool's extra man and are set to pick the players up and carry them over the line like they used to in those European glory nights of the 70s and 80s. 5 FIXTURES The Reds have a kinder run-in than United and even the hardest game, against Arsenal, comes with them having rested over the FA Cup semi-final weekend, three days earlier. FIVE REASONS WHY UNITED COULD BLOW IT 1 NERVES They looked a shoo-in two weeks ago but now the pressure is on and United could lose a title that really was theirs for the taking. Fergie went through the same thing in 1998 as Arsenal won their first crown under Arsene Wenger. 2 DISCIPLINE Recent red cards for Nemanja Vidic, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney mean all three will be missing against Aston Villa. Referees will have noted the snarling aimed at Phil Dowd on Saturday and will clamp down harder than before. 3 CRISTIANO RONALDO Unstoppable last term but his on-field bickering with teammates, opponents and referees is turning the Portuguese back into Public Enemy No.1. Unless he gets his act together it could be destabilising. 4 OLD TRAFFORD The stadium is more intimidating than the fans and back- to-back defeats will add to the edginess against Villa in a fortnight. Fans are prone to get on the players' backs when things aren't going well. 5 FIXTURES United are still competing on three fronts and have a much tougher league run-in than Liverpool, including Arsenal and Spurs at home, and desperate Middlesbrough away. I agree that MU has a tougher run-in as compare to Liverpool said to have a kinder run-in. MU ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Clutched March 25, 2009 Share March 25, 2009 Why not? They are expected to thrash SAFC, Home United and Tampines Rovers. I will be going to Jalan Beasar to see Liverpool lift the cup from outing Ho Peng Kee. Cheers Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si4dr 5th Gear March 25, 2009 Share March 25, 2009 Title still MU to lose with 1pts laed & 1 game in hand. Liverpool MUST WIN all remaining match in order to have the chance to snatch the title(rmb pool always draw with weaker team). The intl break may help MU to halt the slide at the moment. If MU lose to Villa & Liverpool win in next fixture than will be more entertaining. Both still have to face in-form Arsenal which may cost either team the title IMHO. I am Liverpool fan so hope Liverpool can end the 19years title drought. YNWA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcslim Neutral Newbie March 25, 2009 Share March 25, 2009 Fnas of MU and Liverpool, what have you got to say?[/size][/color] Firstly, am not a fan of pool. But if both sides continue their 'current form' all the way, then yes, pool deserves the title. Having said that, 'form' is comething unpredictable. Only the players themselves know.
