Hey, it's fine if you think we outplayed them. I just didn't get that impression. And when the other team has 18 or 19 shots at goal and more of the ball, then it's not as if we were all over them was it. Ah for Gods sake Bar, most of those shots were from 600 yards out and 200 yards over the top, not to mention the remainder bar one that were 150 yards wide of target. In addition their possession was 300 yards inside their own half. Those are my stats and they make a damned sight more sense than your'n! So go on, Bar, give those silly stats, wherever you got them, to big King Kong so he can put them where they belong!

Well that does it Bar, ...I always felt that this modern fascination with stats was a waste of bloody time, now I know it...'lies, damn lies and statistics'! We were all over them for the first half and should have been 3 up and we shared the spoils in the second half. We deserved our win and that was also the opinion of the panel on MOTD! So shove them fuc*ing stats where big King Kong shoved his nuts! Oh and by the way I hope LFC don't sign any players using stats like those or we're for the high jump for sure.

Rafarendum, because I dispute what you said: namely
'Chelsea outplayed lfc' then which you seem to go halfway back on .
It dont mean that I said
'liverpool outplayed Chelsea'
I didnt! say that, I said we were not outplayed by Chelsea! but that for the first half we were better and the second half chelsea were better.

Agreed, you didn't say that. And we were better in the 1st half. I'd still say they edged it overall, not by much though. As Thundyr posted, it could very easily have been a loss.
I too am delighted we won it, we've dominated games and come away with nothing or a point. So we deserved it in that sense.
Perhaps other fans were watching that game and saw us have a comfortable win, and relaxed for 90 mins in confidence. I didn't. For me, it was a close game, and I could easily see them winning it.
Anyway job done 3 points. Hope for the same against City
They did not edge the first half no way in hell, they had chances but whenever we had the ball we were in dangerous areas and if suarez picked the right pass 2 or 3 more times we would of had more goal opportunities. They had the ball in the centre and around our box and we restricted them to shoot from 30 yards (thats how they got to 99 shots). It was a close game but there is no way in hell they dominated us or controlled the first half as you mention and we overall we deserved the points more based on our performance.

look at united...those bast@rds never dominate a game to win it....they just get outplayed and still win most of the games..! That's called "Big Match Temperament" where I come from. The ability to win even when you're up against it, to make only a handful of chances count in each game. United are masters at it, and that's why they've won 11 titles under Fergie. Contrast the number of 1-0 wins they have over the past 20 seasons with Liverpool 1-0 wins and you'll see a gaping chasm I'm sure. And for some reason we still think we can win 1-0, when I'm not even sure Kenny has won a single league game 1-0 other than last season's win at Stamford Bridge since he returned to the fold. We may be undefeated in 9 games, but United have outscored us by 7 points in the last 12. It's not how one wins, but whether or not one wins that is important. You might get outplayed every game, but if you're still regularly getting 3 points each time you're doing something right.

I was thinking when the last time we won 1-0 and you might be right there, it was against chelsea last season if I am not mistaken. It really kinda puts a blemish on that defence record because everytime we have won, we always seem to concede as well.

Sorry Bar, didn't mean to offend you, I was only half serious with both of those posts, trying to poke some fun and it was aimed more at the author of the stats than you really. The problem with stats is that they are really quite stupid little [oops] and they are totally incapable of any qualitative analysis what so ever. They are so stupid they would add up your opponents shots from the centre circle and your opponents possession in their own box and then try to tell you that those 18 shots from the centre circle and all that possession in your opponents box meant that your opponents were the better side!!!! Can you see now Bar, why I hate the little pr*cks? No qualitative sense whatsoever!
