In a wonderful victory that will warm the hearts of Liverpool fans everywhere, Real Madrid beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford tonight and triumphantly dumped Alex Ferguson's team out of the Champions League. Does it get any better than that?
As the pre-written script demanded, United old boy Cristiano Ronaldo delivered the killer blow in the 69th minute, and as Alan Hansen predicted on Monday, the defensive frailty of Rafael Da Silva led directly to Madrid's winning goal.
After Nani's sending off, Ferguson lost his rag with the fourth official, and it was massively entertaining to watch:
Almost as gloriously entertaining as watching Ferguson and Rooney discover that Man City had snatched the title away at the death last season:
Not even five minutes of fabled 'Fergie time' could save United this time. And to add insult to injury, after game, Roy Keane - one of United's greatest ever players - insisted that the referee made the right decision to send off Nani. He told ESPN:
"It's dangerous play, it's a red card. He knows there are other footballers on the pitch and to be fair to the referee, he took a few minutes, spoke to his assistant and decided it was a red card. Whether he meant it or not is irrelevant. It was dangerous play, red card"
Beating Real Madrid in the Champions League is always a special result, and if Ferguson wanted to win tonight's game, he should've studied video of Liverpool's famous annihilation of Real Madrid in 2009, a game that saw Rafa Benitez's team hammer Los Blancos 4-0 (5-0 on aggregate), and dump them out of the Champions League.
There you go, Fergie: that's how you do it.
When Man United can beat Real Madrid 5-0 on aggregate in the Champions League, then we'll talk.
Until then: 5 vs. 3. End of story.

ReplyDeleteTypical liverturd wankers. good to know that's the only thing you can celebrate this season you tossers
ReplyDeleteYou dirty cunts, where were you lot tonight??!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA- Have fun in the Europa League you dirty bin-dipping jobless chav cunts!!!!
ReplyDelete- PROUD UTD FAN
Have fun it the Europa League you twats!!! hgahahahahah
ReplyDeletetwats!!!
ReplyDeletescouse twats!!!
ReplyDeletedirty scouse twats@!!!!
ReplyDeletebindipping cunts!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe mighty Zenith st Peterbourug knock you out this season so Good luck with Europa league next season
ReplyDeleteeuropa league cuntS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLiverpool have stooped so low that they get pride in others failing, united go out to madrid in the CL and you go out to Zenit in the Europa league. Puts it into perpective really. P.s United played immense with 10 men
ReplyDeleteIt's called banter. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteWin champions league before retiring? Not a chance!
ReplyDeleteLOl, Some people are just pathetic, regardless of opinion about red card decision, (which was completely wrong) celebrating other team victory like yours co your team has been poor for a long time, can;t match united in quality, its just plain pathetic. Bean United in champions league or at least finish higher than then in league and you will earn the right to boast. Until that time comes just shut up
ReplyDeleteAll evens out over a season and Jonjo must be laughing now
ReplyDeletequite pathetic really isn't it Jaimie? Getting your thrills from your rivals losing. How is the battle for 7th?
ReplyDeletereal madrid were always gonna win nani red card i've seen worse given and his challenge was dangerous....... also madrid had modric kaka and benzema on the bench better than any united outfield player...... the english press will batter the refree as usual but madrid were superior and united did have enough chances but if you dont take them (like liverpool vs madrid) you wont win sorry but la liga is superior technically and tactically than premier league (we are more competitive though) last season athletico bilbao wiped the floor against united now bayern will go through vs arsenal and no english teams left watch out for the german teams they are well prepared!!!!! such a shame after millions spent and we couldnt get passed round 16 i think english football needs a complete overhaul like the spanish did 15 years ago and now they have players like alonso fabregas mata cazorla reina valdes de gea llorente soldado who dont even make the starting 11 for their countries where as we have nobody of that calibre sorry but english football and players are so overrated its almost unbelievable!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome light hearted article. Was a funny old match tonight
ReplyDeleteI've seen many Man Utd sites revelling in LFC defeats. If you can't hack banter then perhaps you should retire from being a football fan, eh?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame when the only celebration the fans of a once great team can enjoy when a rival gets knocked out of a competition you can't even qualify for, and are unlikely to for many years. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
ReplyDeleteThe battle for 7th is going quite well. Should have it sewn up very soon.
ReplyDeleteCan you count to 20 Jaimie? Btw your mother gave you a girl's name
ReplyDeleteThe gulf in class between Real Madrid and the Manky Hoofers was vast and they would have beat them even without the red card, Real robbed of a perfectly good goal, the Manky Hoofers a lucky undeserved own goal, long ball DROSS!.
ReplyDeleteOh how I laughed..........there's only one Ronaldo..........lol
ReplyDeleteSounding more like a small club every day. Declining profits, no new ground. Turn the history channel on. You're still famous there.
ReplyDeleteCan't quite make it to 20, but give it a few years and I'll get there. And you're right, my Mum did give me a girl's name, much to my chagrin.
ReplyDeleteits about time eufa took charge of refereeing apointments for league games fergie would have no pull like he didnt have tonite. flyin in officals would be the answer . a pool of top refs and linesmen from europe doin games in all the top leagues would be the answer.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the game. It felt slightly strange though, as I am used to seeing utd play poorly, go 1-0 down then get assistance from the ref in order to rescue the game. The boot was clearly on the other foot tonight and Fergie didn't like it one bit. 5-3.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about who's got Arbeloa and Alonso!
ReplyDeleteWhy are mancs trolling on here, do they love us more.........ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteWhy did she do that? My mother gave me a name that sounds a bit silly in German. She claims that she liked it.
ReplyDeleteman u got a taste of their own medicine. One of there tactics in PL when playing big teams is to try to get other players sent.
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around come around
listen guff (inbreed) its passed your bedtime and your sister is waiting
ReplyDeleteIts on news now man united news feed. Not rocket science
ReplyDeleteShort memories forget that united and the number of years city were titles in the stadium. United were awful with ten men Modric ran it when he was on.
ReplyDeletenow the mancs no how most other teams feel when they leave old trafford(pens,fergie time)bad losers,just look at their manager and coke head at the final whistle.
ReplyDeletehow far we've fallen, you've just been knocked out and less than an hour later your on a lfc website....... maybe looking for a new team
ReplyDeleteThe old saying goes your only as good as ur last game and we won 4 0 away and utd lost 2 1 at home!
ReplyDeleteur over abillion in debt and your owners eat possiun. yep ged clampetts boys are the 13 amp plug of english football .ur been in europe nearly 60 yers and won a massive 4 trophys is that a good enough history lesson then
ReplyDeletehows the battle to make it 5 times ??????????
ReplyDeletedid anybody see the wee fat ugly fellow with the wig on that ran onto the pitch in the second half.was he arrested.sorry my brother is only after telling me ,that was rooney?
ReplyDeleteman utd radio for sale,,,,,, volume works good,,,,,,,,,,,bass works fine,,,,, but the treble is fckd !!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a blatant red card get over it and have some dignity in defeat. One utd legend Roy Keane talking sense for once.
ReplyDeleteparanoid are we?
ReplyDeletecan't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen....
ReplyDeleteyou said it...The Mighty Liverpool!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE ARTICLE. Man United ain't the only team who has been hard done by the referee. Get over it. Chelsea lost in the semi finals against Liverpool. The whole debate did the ball cross the line when L.Garcia poked it in. Obviously as a Liverpool I couldn't be happier but at the end of the day some times decisions do go against you. That's football. This season I have been fuming with some of the decision's gone against us. It blows over fergie cant get it his way all the time.
ReplyDeletethats dead funny that. what asense of humour u mancs have got god my belly ache is gettin worse
ReplyDeletethere will be some sour faces on the midnight train to london
ReplyDeleteDidn't take much pleasure in United losing.
ReplyDeleteThe ref was crap all round. Big decisions went against Real too.
I hope Real don't go on and win it (which I don't think they will), because Mourinho and the club are classless.
It'd be great to see Dortmund win it. Great football club.
Interesting to see Rooney left out. Maybe the English will accept that he isn't even on the second rung, nor the third rung, below Ronaldo and Messi.
Better explain 'chagrin' JK.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Utd fan we're talking bout
The media has ditched Rooney, there throbbing over Bale now.
ReplyDeleteI was raised by wolves.
ReplyDeleteGrrr.
fergie must have been on the jamisons this afternoon not startin fat boy!! haha great piece of management that!!
ReplyDeleteNo outrage over the perfectly good Real goal that was disallowed I see.
ReplyDeleteNo interview from the Statesmanlike Ferguson, surprise surprise
You're right, not quite as good as the last minute of last season, but hugely entertaining.
There's no PL trophies in our cabinet.
But there is at least a real CL one ha ha
dead right.
ReplyDeleteAs fergie would say, " that could of killed the boy" when talking about Ashley Williams kicking the ball at Van Persie. Can't have both ways!!! #DANGEROUS PLAY
ReplyDeleteComon, it was a red card. Whether he had eyes on the ball or not is irrelevant. You can't fling your leg out like that with a player right near you. You know it's risky, and when you do what Nani did, you are ignoring the risks.
ReplyDeleteOnce mighty, you missed the important bit now Everton are the biggest team on Merseyside
ReplyDeletedisagree the ref had a great game!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if that is English or what some of it means but here goes. The debt is £350 million. It is decreasing, a 75k stadium and profits increasing. Compare to to anfield and increasing debt, a mid table team. What happens when Suarez goes to city? As for the European subject, do you really want to try to gloat a competition you can't qualify for? Just face it, you're not famous anymore.
ReplyDeleteTip of the hat to naldo,thats respect.
ReplyDeletethrobbing very hard over bale
ReplyDeleteRed looked harsh, but does Nani follow through a little, trying to leave a little something on opponent after an initial accidental collision. He also had a little glance beforehand.
ReplyDeleteWin some, you lose some I guess.
Hope Arbeloa recovers soon
Has anyone noticed that RVP is on some sought of goal drought... 5 matches no goal
ReplyDeleteReally. how is it so? please justify. Don't give the Everton are higher up the table crap.
ReplyDeleteAnteater also sounds a bit silly in English ;-)
ReplyDeleteRather have a girls name than be called Dick
ReplyDeleteHave a cry son i am LMFAO great to see United cop the rough end of the stick for a change.
ReplyDeleteGood fishing demonstration Jamie. Roy Keane the real voice of reason.
ReplyDeleteWe must be famous. Or else why would you be here in the first place?
ReplyDeletelol this is great banter.
ReplyDeleteNot famous well Liverpool are about to pack a thursday night pre season game with around 100,000 people in Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteThe home team only average 25000.
Ferguson refusing to face the media again I see!! Will he be charged by UEFA for that?
ReplyDeleteAt his age tantrums are expected
ReplyDeleteI understand that you can't put Liverpool on the same level as united at the moment. However, you can't say that Liverpool cannot match their quality with the way we're playing at the moment. Lloris? Steve Clark?
ReplyDeleteApparently Rooney's lucky toupee flew into the ref's face temporarily bamboozling him hence the dodgy decision!
ReplyDeleteWith the Nani gone whose going to look after the 10 precious little cherubs?
in simple terms listen and learn a 13 amp plug is useless in europe ur debt is not 350 mill its times 3 if ls goes to city it will be no less than 60 mill . and 5 times means we are more famous than 3 times and ur manager is apiss head .lost the plot the next brian clough.
ReplyDeletemy god those inbreed mancs have took the bait 2 nite !! brill have loved it .but were is my mate jason?
ReplyDeleteLong may it continue too and hopefully throw a spanner in the works for their overrated team.
ReplyDeleteCome and see the trophy we have it in anfield, 5 times dicko!
ReplyDeleteAw didums, did someone ruffle your feathers?
ReplyDeleteBefore you laugh at the discomfiture of MUFC fans, Please have a thought for all their wives and kiddies who are going to take a pounding tonight at home. Of course, on the other hand, it will be safe to go to the pub tonight, as they only beat up on strangers there when they win.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! As if Madrid pulling their pants down wasn't enough they're on here now for another session, fair play...
ReplyDeleteEven their assistant manger chews like a horse
ReplyDeleteI heard someone saying there is chance of the premier league losing qualification spot via 4th place if no english team makes quaters . Arsenal are already doomed imo . Not the best thing for liverpool
ReplyDeleteif you're sticking your leg out like that to get the ball, you only do it to avoid a collision with another player, otherwise he'd get closer to it. he was completely aware arbeloa was in his presence.
ReplyDeleteMy mother gave me a girl name as my second name ;) I have absolutely no problem with that, lol
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahha now the scum mancs know how it feels to be robbed karma has bitten you on the arse! jonjo shevley red to be specific! fergies powers are useless in europe! 5 time european champions keeps chasing liverpools thats all you can do now HAHAHAHAHAHA madrd! madrid! viva real madrid!
ReplyDeleteI've obviously called for that, but joking aside, anteater is not my real name. And that's not me in the avatar either.
ReplyDeleteMay I call you Romulus or Remus?
ReplyDeleteThere is a shortage of baby food in Manchester today, Boddingtons brewery have apologised for the shortage and promise to knock some BITTER out.....................ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteGreat night in 2009, too bad the wheels came off only six months later. Took us four years to recover from G&H and Benitez and now we're finally playing like a football team again. I hope I'm not wrong in thinking these owners actually will have some cash available for a couple of additions that can see us put in a sustained challenge for the title next year. Or at least CL places.
ReplyDeleteFergie and utd have a hold on the FA but karma came back at them they have no control over the UEFA and i dont feel sorry for them in the slightest it happens to most clubs who visit old tratford on a weekly basis so taste of your own medicine
ReplyDeleteIm sure the EPL co efficent system still ranks above germany and italy so we should still have 4 champions league spots for next season another 2 yrs of the same result may strip the premier league of at least 1 spot
ReplyDeleteRoy Keane told ITV not ESPN
ReplyDeleteyou probably couldn't even count to five you uneducated manc
ReplyDeleteNani could have killed him making a challenge like that. Defo more dangerous than getting hit in the head by a football anyway. Clear red.
ReplyDeleteWait, you are telling me, you arent actually an anteater? You have been playing us all for fools! FOOLS!!!
ReplyDeleteGood game last night. Shame a debateable decision ruined it.
Are these the same man utd fans on here who poo every time Alonso touched the ball and started singing murders after arberloa got booked and were waving there plastic flags before the game HA your club is pathetic
ReplyDeletePs still on our perch (5 European cups)
I'll tell you what happens if Suarez goes to City: your lot will never win the league again, until he retires, that's what would happen!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the coefficients take something like 5 years to take effect. In any case, Chelsea winning it last year will keep the 4th place qualifying spot open for at least another couple of years.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I'm sure beating Spurs this weekend will give us the confidence to kick on and grab 4th.
It's the only kind of pounding their wives will get, that's for sure ;-)
ReplyDeletehoward webb and the english f.a watch and learn. last night was how you stand up to fergi the bully and his spoilt children?
ReplyDeleteI must say I like Roy Keane as a pundit...You can see that he says what he feels and has the balls to come right out and say it unlike the Gareth 'yes man' Southgate and the others
ReplyDeleteClassic. Go Jaimie... you tell him :)
ReplyDeleteAt least learn to spell football team names correctly so you get some kind of respect. Who are Zenith St Peterbourug....never heard of them.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not uncommon to have Maria as second name in Austria or Bavaria. That's about the only girl name I can think of as second name. I feel sorry for some Italians who come to German speaking countries. Andrea, Gabriele and Nicola are male names there, but, well, I don't have to tell you that they are female names here.
ReplyDeletethe east lancs rd in manchester is still flooded so please avoid the area a spokesman for united utilies blame the flood on a million scousers pissin themselves at approx 21 45 hrs last nite
ReplyDeleteYep, I tricked you.
ReplyDeleteSo, if it was Arbeloa on Nani, I'm pretty sure all United fans would be up in arms about it and demanding a sending off, but because its United, because its Fergie, the whole british media back them. Its shocking. And what if it had been Suarez who kung fu kicked a player, I bet twitter and web forums would be in meltdown
ReplyDeleteSit Down fergie & Sit down United,
See you went to the manctwat school of spelling then,, And the might Arbelloa knocked you clowns out of the Euro cup last night,, They think its ARBELLOA,,, IT IS NOW,,,HAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Jonjo Shelvey red carded on 23 of sept 2012
ReplyDeleteliverpool was dominating the game and the stupid refree sent shelvey out and ruined the game . I told yesterday's game refree to ruin in the game if Man u take the lead and he did exactly .................. *Evil laugh.....HUAHAHAHHAHAHA HUAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAH*
I'm glad we cleared that up. I'm so naive :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done J. A positive article :)... I went to work today and took the plastic Man U staff in my office a treat each... A Turkish delight!! Their faces..... Priceless!!!! YNWA KEV HOLLOWAY *****
ReplyDeleteNow for the end of season capitulation mancs. City are gonna catch you now. I would luv it!!!
ReplyDeleteMowgli.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that one was raised by wolves, too, but, well, you are right, Mowgli. You should know. I actually wasn't raised by anteaters.
ReplyDeleteIt should be mentioned that as of 2013, the mighty Man United are still only 1 European Cup Win ahead of Nottingham Forest...
ReplyDeleteWere you raised by ants, and then you turned cannibal?
ReplyDeleteNo, but that would actually make a great story. Raised by ants not knowing that the little baby animal they raised would turn out to be a fully grown anteater. The tragic.
ReplyDelete
