Campbell's goal was sumptuous (proper football pundit word there ;-) )
I like my left footedwingers playing on the left but that finish was awesome. I can't imagine him playing rw for us, but clearly he's a top player. Just hope he's given his chance unlike vela was.

Liverpool fan here

Man Uctd lost 2;0 but the manner of their defeat was a million miles away from how you lost to Bayern.

Arsenal really looked to part and fine margins cost you.

United made a Greek side look like world beaters. United really are poor this season.

Long may United struggle. Hopefully we get the chance to put them out of their misery when we go to Old Trafford.

RVP is a shadow of the player that he was. No way should you consider re-signing him.

Well I think my old friend CTR is reading my posts from last year predicting this fall and crying in his mothers arms ( I think he still stays home with his mother, obviously in london)

But United look lethargic, players minds are elsewhere, have they given up, is moyes not up to it, player unrest, who knows.

why he did not play janujaz is beyond me.

why he played ferdinand is also beyond me.

why he played smalling at RB is beyond me.

in regards to van persie, he has never shone on the big stage, at arsenal and now there.

he missed sitters against madrid last time around, and I have lost count at the sitters when he played for us in the CPL.

for me he does not have that edge to kill a game, never did.

was quite impressed with the Arsenal loanee, did not expect him to play so well.

Man utd have their problems, perhaps they will throw 150 mill and fix it. they have thrown 50+ mill at rooney anyway.

this summer will be a tricky one for all big clubs. money talks and if united play the game they can beat the competition, but if they try the Arsenal or liverpool way, its a long way back, and i'm not sure moyes will last that long, going by these performances.

Hi Tommy Gunn,

Thank you kind Sir.

I watched Utd game, jeez they were absolutely shocking.

There's something very satisfying about watching Joel Campbell burying Man Utd. Fantastic placed finish. still not 22 yet.

Hi the word
I'm so sorry I have caused you such embarrassment by telling the Liverpool fans how much I admired their ability to applaud Jon Jo Shelvey' s goal Sunday at such a crucial time in the game.

Can I also ask for previous crimes to be taken into consideration, I have praised the way they stayed behind to applaud us being crowned champions at Anfield on the last game of the season when Michael Thomas scored the winner, personally I doubt many other fans could have been that humble that night.

I would also like to say although I haven't posted it but I think the way they backed Peter Crouch when he went? How many game without a goal when he first arrived was brilliant too.

Thierry Henry also said he was impressed by the Liverpool fans conduct when he played for us.

I only hope word you can one day find it in you to forgive me for letting you down.
As for Henry! Well he can grovel to you himself.
Oh and by the way best fans in the world? Did I really use those words? I've checked since and still can't see them.
Not only a traitor but one with bad eye sight too, I just gets worse for me doesn't it

I've said it before and I'll say it again, liverpool and the arsenals fine fans will always unite in our hatred of United

G62 I agree with you, I think Liverpool fans have been fantastic on here and in the stands.

Got to agree,

the 'pool fans are a classy bunch and I will be the first to go on their page to congratulate them when they finish runners up to us this year, lol.

(are you watching Simonpw?) lol

Aw shucks Dags,
ya got me blushing now lol ;-)

I think you guys along with us are the best supporters in the world. And that's not bias talking its just plain fact.
LFC supporter's have always had an ability to realize when a piece of footballing brilliance has been achieved and are always the first to applaud it.
It doesn't matter if it has come from the LFC squad or from another team or opposing player.
You guys have given some fantastic banter in the past and have never tried to "lord it over" and for that you will always get the pools respect.
Look at how UTD have dominated and instead of being humble there supporters have rubbed the noses of other fans for far to long.
I have never been one to like to see other teams struggle but with UTD I make an exception because of this. Long may it continue.
I wish you well for the rest of the season. There are still twists and turns to come I am sure. But our 2 sides have done it the hard way.
We both play attractive attacking football which is a joy to watch. And if all things were fare then both teams deserve to be where they are in the respective positions in the league.
I have posted here and said this before. And I take no shame in saying it again. If LFC fall short in winning the EPL this season it would give me the greatest of pleasure to see you guys lift it.
Your supporters are class. Your team is class. And I wish you all the best for the rest of the season.
BTW. Go spank Bayern by 4 or 5 and make us all happy.

Y.N.W.A.

Lol, pleasure mate.

With Chelsea looking to sell Lukaku, would everyone be happy for him to come to Arsenal? Motor mouth and a little lazy, sure, but maybe the striker we've been looking for.

Hey NE,

I would rip Chelsea's hand off for Lukaku, but Mourinho would never sell him to us. He wouldn't even give us Demba Ba on loan ffs lol.

Not for me, good but not the class I would like to see. We are looking for world class I hope not mid table prem class. Plus I don't think he is too different to giroud.

I think he's a pretty class act, Steve, plus he's still only young. You never know TG, he did sell Mata to utd.

Im with TG on both counts, I would snap their arm off but doubt they would sell to us.
The fact they sold Matta to utd! Well we can only draw our own conclusions on that one.
Knowing mourinho he would want Ramsey Wilshere and Walcott in return

The more I saw DB10 this weekend, the more it felt like he was home, the more I hope he's our next manager, and that he's at the club for 20 years if not longer.

Everything about Dennis Bergkamp exudes class. The way he played. The way he carried himself. Who he is as a person.

You can tell he has a personal attachment to the club that is very strong.

Similarly, you see countless fans, not just of Arsenal, but of football in General, who shower praise on him.

I'm so happy he got his statue.

He started the revolution, the headliner who took us to the top and kept us there.

Having him as manager and Thierry as the general manager, in a Vieira type of role at City, would be so cool. Two guys running the club which has statues of them outside their ground. True Arsenal men.

One can dream.

Here's to you Sir DB10

That would be great Bergkamp and Bould as managers and Henry as club ambassador like Viera wow that would be all bases covered! defense and attack from some of the worlds best!

Totally agree fellas. The half time interviews (pitch side) are normally a minor attraction as people are either queueing for the gents/ladies or their (expensive) snacks. But on Saturday, not only was the stadium still full, but everybody was listening and hanging on the great man's every word. It was pure entertainment and a little emotional. That was total mutual respect and still gives me goose-bumps thinking of it now. The guy is a first class gent and an Arsenal legend. Cannot wait for him to return.

Don't mean to whizz on your parade guys but Bergkamp still hasn't gotten over his fear of flying if I'm not mistaken?

Wouldn't this make champions league away fixtures awkward? Oh and pre-seasons in Asia etc?

Just my thoughts.
