Oh how it hurts to lose to one of the teams that we absolutely hate losing to; Liverpool. How the faces got gloomy and sullen after a defeat like that. The emotions felt at this point of time would be one of heartbreak and disappointment after a late winner by Liverpool in a game that was in most parts dominated by Manchester United. The Scousers would feel that justice had been done as Patrice Evra let Dirk Kuyt in to volley home the winner but we dominated large parts of the match which is scant consolation at the end of it all because we have been knocked out of another cup competition this season and that to at the hands of our rival.

We are the start of the week and the countdown towards the big game against Liverpool on Saturday at Anfield begins. The countdown began for some after the game against Norwich, ignoring the international fixtures of Friday and Tuesday which for some or most is viewed as a deterrence or hindrance and would be more interested in the affairs of their favourite clubs.

As players leave for international duty from the red sides of Manchester and Liverpool, fans from both sides would be praying, wishing and hoping that when the players return from all corners of the world, they would be hale and hearty with only fatigue for the respective managers to deal with. Without doubt, this is the BIGGEST fixture for Liverpool fans as they look to put one over their hated rivals who have been more successful in recent times but that is not to say that Manchester United fans view it with any less significance. We’ve not had great memories of our recent trips to Liverpool. We have been beaten quite comfortably in our last 3 matches there and played poorly.

There can be little argument that the the title race in the new season will be fought between no more than six clubs. The same old suspects if you like, but with a slight difference. Liverpool does not look ready to win its first title since 1990. Even their ambitious American owner John Henry is targeting a Champions League qualifying place at the very best. Tottenham appear to have gone slightly backwards and cannot be seriously regarded as Premier League winners while Arsenal are having all sorts of problems off the field. That leaves Chelsea under a new manager who can only be described as an inexperienced and of course the big spending noisy neighbors, as the major threats to Manchester United.

Not content with knocking Liverpool off their perch, a group of United fans braved the atmosphere of Anfield to rub their rivals’ noses in it a little bit more and unveil an antagonising banner inside the ground before the game against Tottenham. ‘MUFC 19 TIMES’ it said, hung from the Anfield Road end. MailOnline reports that “Rather than stay and wait for the vitriolic response, the fans responsible made a quick getaway in cars waiting for them outside, but not before other members of the group had taken important photo evidence” and here it is.

Two seasons at Old Trafford has given Michael Owen what Liverpool couldn’t provide in thirteen years at Anfield – a precious Premiership winning medal which has so far been denied to former team mates Steve Gerrard and Jamie Carragher after an entire career on Merseyside. Owen signed on for Liverpool at the age of 16 and remained there until his controversial departure in 2004. He had been Liverpool’s top scorer every season until leaving for La Liga when Real Madrid agreed an £8m fee.
