itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

Penalty to Blackburn....

1-0

pffft cheers for ruining it - wait, nothing could ruin that score/

Only 75 mins to hold out

Yakubu is still in his 20s... I don't know how I feel about that.

Blackburn, defending, look like a third division team. Utd need to just work 1% harder and this is still 6-1.

that was one of the worst attempted shots i've ever seen

Crap game, flat atmosphere so far

you know what i fucking hate? 1. saying that the ref would have to be brave to give another penalty 2. having that be your statement when a foul has been committed in the area; not 'he should give blackburn a penalty' 3. the resigned use to not only imply the ref is weak and cannot do his job properly, but also that to be too weak to call it is natural and fine at OT.

I could never call a game where Venkys's Blackburn are beating Utd at home crap. It is making a mockery of 'best league in the world' tho

Half-time approaching, there's been one shot on target so far and that was the penalty (which was pretty soft anyway as they were both pulling each other)

yeah but venkys are winning at old trafford

i can't make out united's formation. carrick at rb?

Carrick centre-back, Valencia right-back, Rafael centre midfield, I think.

jones is kinda floating somewhere

kean 4 lyfe (if the game ended now)

Rrro-wahs!

I have zero faith in this continuing obviously. Is Rooney on the bench? It's irritatingly poised for him to come on and turn the game like the world class player he is, same as Gerrard last night.

berbatov playing like the stereotype of players like berbatov

Substitutes

34 Lindegaard,
51 Fryers,
08 Anderson,
42 Pogba,
52 Cole,
32 Diouf,
48 Keane

huh welbeck is on the teamsheet? he must be giving a performance worthy of arshavin.

What is 'Keane'?

a surname iirc

who did anderson come on for?

oh yes

Crikey, don't get them angry now.

If it stays like this then Venky's will have got half their points total from Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal (according to the BBC).

This always happens :( 5-2 vey much on.

bloody hell i go to make some lunch and 2 goals are scored?

you me both! wha happened?

no way did welbeck have a better first half than hernandez?

boo

berba again

can't stay mad at that guy tho

if kean can get a point from this, he deserves unconditional blackburn fan support imo

not that he ever will, this is about as inevitable as... every other utd game like this in the past 20 years.

have they given up on jones as a centre-half? i dont really know whats going on w/ him

commentator just said blackburn have been playing some 'lovely football'.

.

Think Jones is centre back today? I can't really work out today's team. Tbh, there have been so many injuries this season that Smalling, Jones, Valencia and Carrick seem to get used just about anywhere.

Huh?!

For fuck's sake

This isn't how it works!

venkys!

The whole system's breaking down!

steve bruce must be watching and so confused as to what is happening

Not looking forward to the quarter-hour of injury time.

Not even 15 minutes of injury time, only 4!

Totally forgot there was football today, just checked BBC and saw the Man U - Blackburn score. Can they hold out?! Will the fans still want Steve Kean's head?

turns out i say 'venkys!' a lot.

o_OOOOOOOO

NEW YEARS EVE MIRACLE

Thank goodness for that. Utd being awful yet pummelling everyone was too depressing to go on forever.

venkys a lot!

Plus makes Liverpool's point against them look a bit more heroic.
