Who really cares what Liverpool fans think? They would be happy, they can celebrate all they like it means nothing.
The difference between the two clubs over the last two decades has been Liverpool have rested on their laurels and made excuses for themselves, getting lazy in their past success. United have accepted the challenges and fought back.
If that happens again this summer I think this time next year the joke might be on them.
If that sounds like salt to anybody, fine, I'm salty I'm bitter whatever. Maybe, but that's what being a winner is about.
Such a dick.

Rightly so. Fuck them and their supporters.
Arsene Wenger would like to have a word with you mate. "I only buy top, top quality. We have a large squad."
Then you don't know your own fanbase.
preach it! Fuck the haters
Oh my word GAF's orgasmic today.
Of course they would, because United are a team who expect to be winning the title. We've not won it in over two decades.

Such a beautiful video.
Right decision, next season they'll buy hazard and Nasri will be warming the bench.

Edit - not worth it, getting caught up in it now.
Sorry guys.
Sorry guys.
Congrats man.
If you're gonna win, win it by scoring 2 goals in the last 2 minutes. It's the stuff champions are made of.
;p
;(
It has to be said that as pissed of as I am at the crazy revelations that just have occurred (this shit is better than anything Hollywood could have come up with), United only have themselves to blame for not winning the title..
Seriouly, the games at Wigan and Everton... Sweet mother, how they come back to bite you soooo hard in the ass.
I'm hoping now Fergie actually invests in some good players this transfer window and hopefully Glazers comply.

I do have to feel happy for the City fans, who've stuck with them through thick and thin. I've always found City to be a classy outfit, hopefully their newfound prominence doesn't change that.
I imagine that as bad as I/we United fans feel, the players feel that much worse. They left the pitch at Sunderland knowing that they had won and City was level with very little time left, so they probably were fully expecting to be crowned champions within minutes. And then to get word that City had stolen victory from the jaws of defeat had to be absolutely crushing.
In the end, they have no one to blame but themselves. They had an eight-point lead a month ago, these last couple of matches should have been their coronation. Instead they dropped points in key matches, and put the earnest on themselves to get a result at City, which was always going to be tough. How the club moves forward after this will be absolutely critical, because our key rivals will look to strengthen in the offseason. We need to be positive in the transfer market and aggressively pursue our targets. (Midfielders, not wingers please, SAF)

I mean I'd be happy sure, on the inside. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself by gloating about it though. You finished 37 points behind United afterall.
I think Mancini was 90 seconds away from blowing his own brains out haha.

Well fuck you as well then. Happy with 3rd spot but we need reinforcements to keep it up next year
LOL!!!
How did you get that from my message? I just thought it was cool for Everton to finish above Liverpool because it doesn't happen often, and it is quite an achievement considering the respective finances.
Of course it would have been better to win the semi-final, but probably would have lost against Chelsea like you anyway.
You're being a bit precious about this mate.

funny how only the liverpool fans are mentioning everton in this thread
lmao, terrible season, terrible fans.
lmao, terrible season, terrible fans.
If that's not what you meant, then fair enough. Apologies.
The moment it starts becoming shit? Like with all the Olivia Wylde/Wild nonsense?
Don't see how I'm being holier than though today to be honest. Other days I'm a petty cunt but if people are posting nonsense about Everton and Liverpool they deserve to be told what goes on around the local community between both sets of fans.
This summer is going to be an interesting one. We know that City are going to strengthen their squad so United will have to do the same.
SAF was at the Dortmund game yesterday so we know that he's looking at players. Now we have to make the right signings in the right positions and get ready for next season.

Heartbreaking.
I reckon he will not deep into the transfer pool before he offload some of the stinkers first. If we manage to get rid of Chamakh, Arshavin, Bendtner, Gervinho, Vela, Munia, Squillachi and bring on few fresh faces I'll be chuffed as fuck.
Didn't see. What's he on about?

He's 29, and could go to Real Madrid, he's probably leaving. I see no reason for him to stay at all.

Glorious!
But no gif for Juventus-fan?
Eh, we won it last week.
But I'm sure there'll be a lot of gifs later on. Parade streaming is starting in about 15min on www.juventus.com.I don't know where dc is but I sent him a PM. He deserves this more than anyone.
Alright maybe I'm just telling this to myself but..
This is better for Ale, I just can't take another season of seeing him on the bench..he DESERVES to end his career on the pitch. We're being (reasonably) selfish

I think he meant he talked about leaving Arsenal for City, but the interviewer asked him about it
