A famous quote from a sports psychologist : “The New York Yankees do not win because they have the best team, but because of their stripes” – well the same applies to Manchester United!

After relentless debates about Liverpool’s form this season it has come to my attention that the only people who want Rafael Benitez sacked are those who are a part of the SAFSB’s(Sir Alex Ferguson Suicide Bombers)… You might be wondering why I call this elite group “SAFSB’s”, well here we go. First of all: Manchester United haven’t set the world alight with glittering performances, and after losing Christiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez Manchester United are a mediocre team. It is there for everybody to see that Manchester United were indeed a “1 man show”. This is where we get to the point… Like Sir Alex Taggart, the supporters get on other clubs backs to hide the fact their team is playing extremely poor, yes they might have the points to say otherwise but we are all football people aren’t we? If it wasn’t for 6 minutes of “Fergie time” in the Manchester Derby or the uncountable own-goals scored by the opposition when they couldn’t hit a donkey’s backside from a yard out they would be exactly where Liverpool are right now or probably even worse! Why do I call them suicide bombers? Well they both have the same motive… Both believe and live by someone’s misinterpretations of words and deeds, both follow leaders with their eyes wide shut and both set out to destroy anybody who is a threat… in this case Rafael Benitez…… 3 back to back victories and counting!

Let’s have a look where Manchester United have been lucky and where Liverpool have been unlucky and see where that would position the teams in a fantasy league table:

Manchester United 2 – 1 Arsenal. Completely outplayed only for a ridiculous penalty being awarded to Manchester United when Rooney dived his way into the record books.
Manchester United 4 – 3 Manchester City Completely outplayed, only to be granted a goal in “Fergie time”.
Manchester United 2 – 2 Sunderland Completely outplayed, only to be granted a goal from a family member of Manchester United’s “Captain”.
Manchester United 2 – 1 Bolton Wanderers Own Goal Zak Knight disguises Manchester United’s impotence in front of goal.
Manchester United 2 – 0 Blackburn Rovers Perfectly legitimate goal, disallowed for Blackburn.
Birmingham City 1 – 1 Manchester United Own Goal Birmingham City, which shouldn’t have stood because Rooney was in an offside position…Interference with play àIf Rooney wasn’t standing there, the defender wouldn’t have had to made the tackle, which subsequently ended up in his own net.
Manchester United 4 – 0 Hull City With the Score at 1-0 Rio Ferdinand took a swing at Fagan, his arm struck the Hull City Striker’s face in an off the ball incident… If the Referee or Assistant Referee would have seen this, this would have been a penalty for Hull City and Manchester United reduced to 10 men

So what would that be in terms of points lost, well Manchester United would have lost 3 points against Arsenal, lost 2 against Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Hull City and 1 point against Birmingham and Sunderland which comes up to -11, excluding Blackburn Rovers as there is no legitimate reason to believe you would have dropped points. 50-11= 39 points, coincidently 2 points more than Liverpool have with Liverpool having a game in hand
Liverpool’s misfortunes:

Sunderland 1 – 0 Liverpool Sunderland’s goal scorer, A BEACHBALL, as replays show that Darren Bent’s initial shot was going wide… Still waiting for the FA’s Goal panel to make a decision on who gets credited with the goal.
Liverpool 1 – 2 Arsenal completely dominated Arsenal to only be undone by an own-goal by Glenn Johnson
Fulham 3 – 1 Liverpool Reduced to 9 men… Degen deemed to have committed serious foul play when replays show both feet were on the ground and he attempted to block the ball and did not go for the players legs… Jamie Carragher later sent off for pulling back Bobby Zamora when Replays show that it was Zamora who was doing the pulling.
Portsmouth 2 – 0 Liverpool Javier Mascherano sent off for “Serious foul play”, indications are that the referee sent Mascherano off for the push not the tackle, well, if somebody stood with their full weight on my knee and I feel my ligaments about to snap I would push that player too!
Stoke 1 – 1 Liverpool 2 blatant penalties turned down, both on Lucas

What would this mean to our points tally well we would have been able to get draws against Sunderland and Fulham and would have probably seen off Arsenal, Stoke and Portsmouth = +10 which would put us on 47 points with a game in hand, Title Challenge, probably top of the table!

So why do we have yet again something in common? Well we have both been screwed by players moving on to Real Madrid and we are both playing as badly as one another… The only difference is that Manchester United have lady luck on their side and we look like we have been cursed by a psychopathic gypsy.
