Worthington Cup Final discussion: Liverpool vs. Manchester United [R]
January 7th, 2009Man United look like they'll have a few injuries (No Forlan, possibly no Giggs and perhaps not even Scholes either) but they've got to be considered the favorites. All the pre-game talk seems to involve somebody talking about how Man United are the more confident side and how Houllier really needs to win this one to save his job. But then again, Liverpool are a good Cup final side.
Kick-off is Sunday at 2 p.m. GMT
I doubt Liverpool fans care much if their team is the most "negative," they just won some hardware.
The worthington cup? Every liverpool fan must have fantacised about a sixth placed finish and the owrthington cup.
It speaks volumes that something like that is a dissapointment for Liverpool. If Spurs finished 8th and even LOST the League Cup final, it would something of a success, wouldn't it??
Or to put it another way ... if Liverpool fans can appreciate it, then the fact that Spurs fans don't is just all the more proof of how ridiculous a club THFC is.
It speaks volumes that your second place finish last season was a triumph, whereas at united or arsenal that would be a complete failure.
Ah well, at least Glenda and his boys are showing the rest of us how to get it done ...
If I seem bitter its just because united bossed the game and were very unlucky to lose. That's football, that's life. But in Britain most Liverpool fans on the phone ins are sick and tired of being the most negative and boring team in the premiership.
Nice its the worthless cup I know but beating man u anytime is sweeter and a cup final just makes it sweeter
I wish people would stop undermining the Worthington Cup. True, it's a "secondary" cup to the FA Cup or the premiership championship, but the fact is it's still a tough tournament for a prize that isn't exactly easy to win.
I find that teams and supporters only refer to it as the Worthless Cup when they've been knocked out of the tournament. See, once there was this fox, and he spied a bunch of juicy grapes sitting on a vine high above him...
I thought the scousers did very well today, and thoroughly deserve their trophy. Plus, it's always nice to see ManU stumble ineptly to a loss. (When David Seaman retires, maybe we can steal Jerzy Dudek? Heh.)

Very well put.
I wonder just what the average age of people who say it is the "Worthless" cup is?
Probably the same bunch that would favour finishing in the top four but not wining the FA Cup.
I feel sorry for United, they came to play but Liverpool just wanted to defend. They got a lucky goal and then just sat back. Football was the loser today.
No, Manchester United were the losers. Don't knock a team for playing defense first. They played to win the Cup, not to please bitter neutrals.
Well done the scousers :D

We're having our worst run in the league since 1954 and you are level on points with us.
Nicely put ...
"Phone-in fans" - oxymoron.
If by "bossed the game" you mean "play in frankly quite weird compliance with our gameplan and then moan about it", you would be more than right, yes.
The fact is that your negative tactics made the first half appalling to watch (rather like your performances for most of this season). If Liverpool had lost today at least Houllier might have altered his tactics slightly. Nobody wants to watch Liverpool anymore because they never attack. At least under roy evans you were exciting.
Everyone's figured out you're a Liverpool hater that wouldn't say anything nice about them if you had to. Keep your biased comments to yourself and quit trolling. "Football was the loser today"...how dramatic. Enjoy another trophy-less season.

How would anyone who follows spurs know what football is. Thanks for the sour comments.
