Manchester United win the Community Shield

Manchester United beat Portsmouth 3-1 on penalties to win the first silverware of the season.
It was really funny watching this game because the moment they went to penalties i said to myself Portsmouth will win, because i have more faith in James as a goalkeeper than i do in Van Der Saar, but as soon as Diarra missed the first penalty, I said to myself, its over Manchester United won.

Is it just me or did Crouch and Defoe not work as well as we all thought they were?

Oh! and what did we all think about Gary "Wheelchair" Neville playing after what seems like an eternity?

Carlos Tevez is a much better player than he was when he arrived at Manchester United, with Ronaldo injured until October, someone is going to have to step up and i think it will be Tevez.

Congratulations to Manchester United.

Community Shield

The Community Shield is tomorrow! and I can't wait. I know the Community Shield is probably the least important of all the silverware you can win , but what i love about the Community Shield is that it means the Premiership is only a week away!

So it will be the EPL winners (and Champions League winners might i add) Manchester United against the 8th place, FA Cup winners Portsmouth.

So do Pompey have a chance? I think they do, true Portsmouth didn't have to beat a "big" team to throughout the FA Cup, but they are a quality side, they have good players and a good manager and Manchester United have a lot of their top players out, Pompey can take advantage of United's injuries.

Manchester United have Ronaldo, Carrick, Ferdinand, Rooney and Hargreaves injured and Anderson at the Olympics. But its still Manchester United you can NEVER underestimate them, injuries or no injuries.

So who do i want to win? Portsmouth of course! I'm going for the underdog.
Who do i think will win? Manchester United.
I want to make this clear, I am a Liverpool fan and so by nature i hate Manchester United and never want to see them win, but i do respect them, their players and their manager. So i might joke around about how much i hate them, but at the end of the day i respect them.

Good luck to Pompey! I hope its a good game!

Peter Crouch to Portsmouth?

A very reliable source from the UK has told me that Peter Crouch to Pompey is basically a done deal and that Liverpool are just waiting to announce it. Apparently the deal was somewhere around £8-14millon the details are not clear yet.

NOOOOOOOOOOO not Crouchy!
I think Crouch is a good player and given the chance he will score, I think Benitez didn't take advantage of Crouch's abilities and to be honest i'm pissed. As a Liverpool fan i don't want to see him go, I love Torres (for the record i was a Torres fan way back when he was with Atletico Madrid, so i didn't just jump on the Torres bandwagon!) but we rely too much on him, what happens is Torres gets injured? We send in Voronin?

This is a good move for Crouch because he will be a regular and hey he will actually play!!! But as a Liverpool fan i am sad to hear that he might leave. And what am I going to do with my HE'S BIG, HE'S RED, HIS FEET STICK OUT THE BED shirt?!

If this turns out to be true which i really hope its not i think its a HUGE mistake and frankly this adds to my frustration with everything that is going on with Liverpool, but more on the Liverpool drama later.

Lets hope this is not true, but i have it from a good source.
I think is bad for Liverpool, good for Crouch and Portsmouth.
What do you all think bad for Liverpool? Good for Crouch? Good for Portsmouth?
