A key match up on Setanta Canada at 7.45 tomorrow morning - Liverpool against Manchester United but I won't be watching it. I sometimes watch Man U just in the hope that I'll see them lose but Berbatov appearing in a Man U shirt is just too much. Frankly I expected to be glad that the "will he won't he" saga is finally over but I find that I am still sooooo disappointed. This despite the fact that I love the signings we've made and I believe that, for us, the only way is up. Damn! Another hour on the therapist's couch (but at least she is gorgeous and she does stretch out beside me!!!!!!). Anybody else feel the same?
I can't bear to watch Manchester United.

I'm really looking forward to the game, too.
Games like this are the reason Berba joined them (along with CL). I think he'll be bang up for it and that's always a pleasure to watch. Somehow I doubt he'd have been so committed to our game against Villa or Hull or whoever else is coming up, so really it is not such a loss.
Keane on the other hand seems to be really struggling. Played out of place, and trying too hard. I don't see the point in missing either Robbie or the Bulgarian. Not now anyway. Let's wait until a few games of PuvlyooCHENka and Bent (and Campbell) until we decide whether we're any worse off.
Also, Liverpool have been catshit so far this season yet top the league. They need a drubbing to be brought back into the pack, as I still see them being in big trouble this season (and retain my view that Rafa will be out before Chrimbo).
All in all an intriguing game and the Keane Vs Berba angle just adds a little bit of interest for us.

I'm not sure why but I hope Berbatov does really well at Utd and Robbie fails miserably at Liverpool.
I think it's because it's hard to hate a team which could potentially field a line-up containing Ronaldo, Tevez, Berbatov, and Rooney with the likes of Nani, Giggs et al waiting in the wings, they're a long way ahead of us so it doesn't especially feel like a rivalry. Whereas Liverpool are basically not as good as they think they are, but they get many plaudits from the press and too much hype. I see them as like Newcastle was when Carr joined them and like his ROI compatriot I hope Robbie looks back on his move as a big mistake.

You mean Daniel Levy isn't in charge? So who is?

To be honest I'm looking forward to seeing him play today, say what you want about him leaving us but he is a marvelous footballer and he has all the qualities to be a top top player at United.

I wish him well tbh. I'm gutted we lost him, but more for the fact that I hate feeling like we're United's feeder club. Realistically though we were never going to hold onto player that good. I get some sense of pride when I see Carrick doing well for them and it'll be more so with Berba because we did more to bring him to prominence.
I really want to watch today's game actually, might have to rush to the pub...
