Lumpold, you keep forgetting that Rafa, so far, has made a BACKWARD move. He inherited a team that was able to win the CL, yet has not won since with all the buys he did HIMSELF. You also keep assuming that he is making progress yet both Chelsea and Arsenal will be very different next year, better that is. With Everton closing in fast (I only wish Moyes had more money to play with, HE is a manager every team should be looking at).

I do not forget that SAF needed a few years to get up to speed, no one is arguing that. The consistency United have shown for the past 15+ years is remarkable by any measure, I don't think anyone can argue that. Was I and am I happy with some players? No. But so far, the only ability Rafa has shown is the one where he stuffs his foot in his mouth, he should mind his own team and its performance and keep his nose out of other's. Like I said, you guys have nothing to celebrate for years now and yet carry on like the world revolves around you.

Why don't you read my posts on the other thread, you'll see that I do criticize United when needed, Berbatov is a prime example. I do see and understand all the issues with the team I support and as a long time player do understand when a critic of a team I support is appropriate (CL final was one of those times).

That said, and to get to the main point of my post. I would be SUPPORTING Liverpool had they made it to the final of CL versus a non EPL club, same as I would any other EPL team. And would be hoping they win. Unlike you, with your hatred for an EPL team in the final.

I guess you missed that key point of my post above. No issue, seems par for the course for a Liverpool fan. I support my team first, EPL second, seems my priorities and alegiances are very different than yours.

Light up a nice a nice cigar and kick back a little, life can be good.
