My night is bad enough Mick. Please don't suggest that O'Neill comes within a mile of Anfield.

[Mick Mac]

I daren't.

The last time he was there he scored for Forest.

I'd take Ancelotti.

I think it would be a good fit, obviously with Wilkins in his team.

Some think Liverpool's longer term decline has been down to successive poor managerial appointments.

Interesting now that Liverpools's last three managers are either recently sacked (Rafa) or possibly about to be sacked (Hodgson and Houllier).

Next up Frank Rikjard, if you believe the bookies.

Felt very sorry for Roy Hodgson on MOTD tonight though - he looked very sad and under a lot of pressure. Maybe he is best to start a fresh elsewhere.

Seems like United are being handed the league. It is, of course, early days but I can't see past United drawing their way to the title. Great results from Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Spurs and Liverpool's troubles are just the icing on the cake. Sorry Anna and Keef but I'm sure the feeling would be the same were the roles reversed.

With all the money that Citeh have spent on the squad of players they have, you'd think they'd show some ambition wouldn't you? As Mourinho once famously said, they came and parked the bus. If I were a Citeh supporter I'd be embarrased by last nights performance. Ok Silva, and Balotelli didn't play, but haven't they got enough talent in the squad to challenge for the title? I don'y think they have.

I'm confident we'll turn the Mancs over when they come to us, they are not the side they were. I think we have a very good shout of winning the title, but we'll see. Bye bye woy, cheers Everton, and get in Wolves. Of the aforementioned teams I only have sympathy for Liverpool. Stevie G missing a penalty, are you sure????? If you fancy a move Stevie, we'll have you!!

[Sandperson]

I wonder in what sense the 'Mancs' are 'not the team they were'. I mean I guess we haven't been unbeaten this far into a season for a long time. I guess we haven't been this many points in front with games in hand for a while but I don't get it. I suppose we'll have to wait for the footballing lesson from Arsenal, the same Arsenal we beat last month and the same Arsenal that's lost three games at home this season already and to the likes of Newcastle and WBA. ;)

[Emerson Crane]

Put quite simply Mancs have ridden their luck, principally against Stoke, WBA, and got a lucky goal against us. Lets see how good you are when you come to our place. Rooney has scored one, count em, one goal in open play since March 2010, and he is being paid how much? Mancs haven't won the title yet and won't you look silly if you don't after leading the way. Mind you, Chavski also were clear leaders at one point and look what happened to them. Don't get too smug just yet.

[david_carnell]

But EC, that's the worrying thing about Man Utd this season. They've been playing pretty badly and are still unbeaten but over Xmas have started to look like a title winning team and are getting into gear. Now that Rooney has broken his duck and has an in form Berbatov for company they are looking like the bookies favourites for a reason.

Arsenal were excellent last night though, and how they didn't score is a mystery. I'm rather worried about my trip to the Library on Sat for the FA Cup.

[Emerson Crane]

Look like a title winning team? I don't think they do. They've been lucky and that run will come to an end, hopefully by somone taking a dive in their penalty box to earn a penalty which is converted in the same way Rooney went over like a sack of sh*te when we were on 49 unbeaten run and hopefully knock the smugness out of them.

[Sandperson]

We'll probably look as silly as Arsenal did when they threw away their Big lead in 1998-99. I'm not smug I was just saying I didn't understand your point. IRS a long way to the end of the season. Rooney is off form and has been for a while, that's not news, as usual we have other goalscorers in the team so it's no great worry. It'll just be a bonus when he gets a bit of form. We'll see, eh.

*yawn*

[Emerson Crane]

You're not smug? Ok then, just boring, as your persistent use of the yawn thing demonstrates. Remind me, how much do you pay Rooney again? Obviously not enough to motivate him to score more than once from open play every 10 months eh? You'd be better off not rising to the bait cast for you, as you really do bite big time. Same old Mancs, and before you say it "Yawn"

[Sandperson]

*double yawn*

You must be very hungry as you're biting far too easily, it's no fun having banter with you, you're too easy, just like the women Rooney shags. Boom boom (no pun intended)

[Annasfield]

YNWA!

[Jah Lush]

Give it a rest EC. It's boring for all of us.

My jibes aren't directed at you so whats the beef? I'm sure others can speak for themselves.

[Jah Lush]

They don't have to be directed at me. Anna's got the yawns too.

[Annasfield]

It said you'll never walk alone actually...... Y N W A!

[david_carnell]

And me. The repetitive and pathetic jibes and digs on here remind me why I rarely contribute.

Same she can't spell it eh? Have you both got the hump because your respective sides lost last night? Never mind. Could've been worse, you could've been playing Citeh.

[Sandperson]

Haha. I like that Anna. Atila, your self confessed jibes just bore me and others. If you think pointing out that Rooney isn't on form or he likes shagging prostitutes is news you are a bit deluded.

[Narnia]

EC, who do YOU think will win the league and why?
