Manchester United vs Liverpool
11 February 2012
12.45 GMT
Old Trafford
History:
Total: 184
Liverpool Wins: 62
Manchester United Wins: 71
Draws: 51
Last Premier League Meeting: 15 October 2011 – Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United (Gerrard)
Form:
Liverpool: While the Reds have been unstoppable in the cups, their league form has been
questionable.
Now the title of this one might be rather annoying to some fans. Many (me included) have seen Tom
Cleverley becoming something of a savior for our team. In truth, when we were 2-0 down against
City...

The statistics this morning read; Manchester United joint top but still second in the table due to
an inferior goal difference compared to that of Manchester City. Our neighbours lost thanks to

Phil Jones was subbed off after 20 minutes in Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Arsenal,
needing a stretcher to take him off the field. Reports from the touchline suggested he had just
twisted his ankle but the following day there were claims he had ligament damage.
However, Mike Phelan has given us hope that Jones could be available for our FA Cup clash at
Anfield.
Manchester City's crosstown rivals and English Premiership title contenders Manchester United
could also do with a transfer signing. Nemanja Vidic, the club captain and lynchpin of the
Manchester United defence, is out for the rest of the season. Rio Ferdinand, the former England
captain and one of the best defenders in the club's history, continuously suffers from niggling
injuries and his participation is never certain until the match begins.
Old head's experience to lead is crucial to the cause
The papers are going crazy with this fixture and all the focus is on Arsenal and how the mighty
have fallen. How this is no longer the plum tie of the Premier League season (somehow, I think the
numbers tells a different story), why there's no pizza or pastries being thrown at each other and
why there's no more fights between the two sets of players.
Injured Manchester United players Ashley Young and Darren Fletcher made it a family day out to
Old Trafford on Saturday.
Ashley brought his adorable 5-year-old son Tyler to United's match against Bolton, although
Tyler probably just played Transformers or dinosaurs in the on-site creche while daddy hobnobbed
with the big fellas.
Amid all the controversy that, at least for the blue half of Manchester, surrounded Sunday's FA Cup
fixture, one might be forgiven for almost forgetting something that transcended the meanings of
those 90 minutes – Paul Scholes is back. Following his retirement in May, the United legend
announced his comeback to help the club in [.

1. Well, that was piss easy, wasn't it? Hmm. What should have been a walk in the part for United
following the first half was worryingly more difficult than it needed to be, but we got the result
and that's all that matters. United have knocked our local rivals, our noisy neighbours, and
current holders, Manchester City, out of the FA Cup at their own ground.
First game in the new year and we commenced it with where we left off in 2011, with a defeat but
the defeat this time, our third in the league already this season was a resounding one. The defeat

There's a moment in every superhero story where the protagonist momentarily loses his power. In
the 1986 relaunch of DC Comic's Superman series, John Byrne revised the superhero's abilities so
that it would be easier to for writers to come up with suitable challenges. Last night, Newcastle
United was such a challenge for Manchester United's Phil Jones.
After witnessing Manchester United defeat against Blackburn Rovers for our New Year's Eve match, I
would touch on another significant matter to the football world, the opening of the transfer
window....

United travel to London to take on QPR this weekend, and are a top priced 1.5 with Betfred and
Paddy Power to win at a ground where they haven't lost for 22 years. They have won eight and lost
none of the last 11 meetings with the Hoops in all competitions and come into the game on the back
of thrashing Wolves 4-1 to extend their unbeaten run in the league to eight (won 5, Drawn 3).
The Salary Cap has struck again.
Brisbane Roar have lost Thomas Broich, Henrique, Matt Smith and other key players in recent weeks
and as a result despite continuing to boss possession, key goals have been conceded and a lack of
attacking penetration has seem the team suffer three defeats in a row.
Modric and Sneijder should be top of Fergie's shopping list
Gutted for Darren Fletcher, who looks like missing the rest of the season with a bowel disorder.
I think he's seriously under-rated as a big-game player for Manchester United and Scotland. What I,
and I'm sure millions of United fans would like to see now is Sir Alex Ferguson responding to his
side's injury crisis by throwing his transfer beliefs out of the window for this January only.

Manchester United have been dealt a further blow in their attempt to retain the Premier League
title with the news that influential midfielder Darren Fletcher will be ruled out of action through
illness indefinately.
A club statement read: "Over the past year he has had several absence periods which we have

United's injury situation has gotten worse with the news that Darren Fletcher is to take "an
extended break from football" owing to a chronic inflammatory bowel condition, Manchester United
announced on Tuesday.

Manchester United have just announced that Darren Fletcher will be taking an 'extended break'
from football on health grounds connected to the stomach illness that he has been suffering with
for months on end and which has seen him limited to making just 11 first-team starts since March
this year.
Manchester United's title chances increased last night after Chelsea beat Manchester City but
decreased this morning after it was announced that Darren Fletcher would miss the rest of the
season with ulcerative colitis. The Manchester United CM has been suffering ... Continue reading

Ahead of tomorrow night's crucial Champions League against Basel, Darren Fletcher has insisted
that the players are fully prepared because they know what is at stake. In 2005, United failed to
qualify from the group and thankfully were saved from having the compete in the UEFA Cup.
"It doesn't get much bigger than this," said Fletcher.

"It doesn't get much bigger than this," said Fletcher.
One of the bigger talking points has been the return of Ashley Young. James Milner showed class
by not celebrating at Eastlands recently, expect Ashley Young to do exactly the same today, but
preferably because he hasn't scored.
Either way, it's a tough game ahead and I suspect there will be a bigger interest in the manner
we McLeish approaches the game than any real expectation in getting much from it.
Darren Fletcher made his 300th United appearance against Sunderland, meaning only 50 players
have played more games for United in the club's history.
Fletch has reflected on his team at United so far, whilst also looking to the future.
"The time has flown since my debut and I've enjoyed everything about playing for Manchester
United," he said.

Sorry, Darren, I always Fergetcher name Sir Alex Ferguson chose last night's Champions League clash
with Benfica to give a second crack at Manchester United first-team football to his 39-year-old son
and current Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson... or so the BBC would have you believe. The
reporter on last night's news got a bit confused [.

Real Madrid entered the fifth matchday of UEFA Champions League already having qualified for the
knockout rounds, so a more subdued performance from the Spanish giants wouldn't have been a
complete surprise. That's not quite what happened, though,.
To celebrate Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th year in charge of Manchester United, he has named a
youthful lineup for today's match against Sunderland. Wayne Rooney finds himself starting in the
heart of the Premier League champions' midfield for a second straight match, partnering enforcer
Darren Fletcher.
Darren Fletcher was plagued with illness earlier this year which meant he missed out on the end
of last season as well as our pre-season.
His recovery from the virus hasn't been smooth though, with the midfielder having a set back and
missing further games this season. However, the International break came at the right time for him,
with him getting a couple of games under his belt to aid his match fitness.

Manchester United faced their first real test on their road to recovery against
Everton today. And they came out all smiles as they grabbed 3 points for the first
time at Goodison Park since 2007. So here go the five of the few things we learnt from this victory
–
1.
Now that we've had a few days to digest our implosion against Manchester City, the only thing to
do now is move on. It's confined to the history books, forget it. Nothing can be changed now. The
only thing that can be done is correcting it in the future. Starting on Saturday when we kick-off
at noon away to Everton.
