1) If Man U had a penalty because of Enrique then we should have gotten a penalty as well - the ref set a precedent he should (and did) follow
2) Suarez and Downing did dive, no one disputed that. Suarez is known to be a bad boy. Adam did NOT dive, he made a meal of the challenge, but the very fact that there was a challenge indicates that it wasn't a dive, it was a clumsy and lazy challenge by Ferdinand.
3) You and everyone else know very well what we mean when we say 'mancs' - no need to point out the obvious
4) I agreed that Smalling did superbly well against Downing, Enrique however, gave smalling some trouble.
5) Liverpool did well is shutting off Young (who IMO has been Man U's best player apart from Rooney).
at the end of the day Im happy with the result and so should manu fans. Fergie got it wrong for not fielding the trio.
I'm more than happy with the result. Don't get me wrong. But to say that Fergie got it wrong for not fielding Anderson, Nani and Rooney is a bit debatable. With the Euro qualifiers midweek, UCL midweek and City next weekend. He had to plan for the best.

If you read my comments earlier you'd note that I said Downing dived and Suarez does play act. No arguments from me. Can't fathom why some of your kin can't admit to the same thing.
As for the handballs it is in my honest opinion that Enrique's was a case of ball to hand. Even your own players didn't protest which speaks volumes. You may say I'm biased but I've always called it like I see it. I've always fessed up if I thought we were lucky or if one of ours dived.
Mancs to me are fans of youse. Even if you google the definition, there isn't a conclusive one. Hence I'll use it as I see fit. If you do google it's definition you'll find some less than wonderful definitions and even I won't use them.
The first half was 50-50 but the fact that we give De Gea praise says we had the better chances in the second half. When did Pepe have to make a save. I don't think it's that hard to show a little humility.
De Gea is a good GK despite all of those stupid remarks made by media early of the season. He's young and learning. To have him as our best player last night, says a lot about the team's ability in containing the ball and move forward. Which at times, very disappointing, especially for someone whom has played for loooonnnnggg time, Ryan Giggs.

hahahahhaa......u sure smalling pawned them??? u actually watch the match? he committed a schoolboy error one on one against suarez when sliding in and get nth in the end.
anyway. its good alone to see Gerrard bac and scoring.and undermine how important he is to our gameplay.and even more so when you know the supposedly best team in the country came into our field afraid of losing a match.

Dude, it's ok to be biased but it was very apparent that Smalling had them two in his pockets. I know of both of Downing and Enrique's qualities, they weren't shown much last night. Yes, there was a blip but Smalling kept both of them at bay. Same can be said about Young being contained by Kelly and Kuyt/Lucas. Credit is given where it is due. Simple.

enrique 'hand' ball was like ball to shoulder to hand. while evans is more clear ball to hand.
though i personally think it didnt matter much when the ref not giving the penalty for both coz i think kinda soft penalty to give. evra has been playing the 'race' card couple of times before. and all was ruled out. and i dont think suarez is a racist though.. he played in eradivise for quite a while to be a racist prick... banyak nigres sana. lol.
True. I do agree with that.
Regarding the racist thing, lets just wait what would the FA have to say about this. He's(Suarez) innocent until proven guilty. That said, he has some bad boy rep, isn't he?
