I like manchester united and my brother is a liverpool fan.
(i am kind of new to football).Anyway, the thing is, he is always raving on and on abt that "great victory" that they had last season.
How they were down 3-0 and they came back to win.He tells me abt their song "ynwa".....It drives me crazy!! Sure its great for liverpool guys.....but does manu have any such interesting stories/history???
I am from india...and we watch english football coz indian football is just so pathetic.I love my country, but u have to call a spade a spade.

Thing is, Liverpool fans live in the past. They use their history (which by all means is great) to blind them from what a terrible season they are having this year and whenever things go wrong. I mean, c'mon, after they won the Champions League they could've bought near anybody yet they go and buy Peter Crouch, well done Liverpool!
As for any such interesting stories? How about the fact we're 11 points clear of Liverpool this season so far.

Manchester United Football Club are a world-famous English football club, based at Old Trafford stadium in Trafford, Greater Manchester. The club is one of the most successful football clubs in English football history, having won the FA Premier League/Football League 15 times, FA Cup 11 times, the League Cup twice, the European Cup twice, the UEFA Cup Winners Cup once, the Intercontinental Cup once, and the European Super Cup once. The club has had the highest average attendance in English football for the past 34 seasons, with the exception of 1987-89 during redevelopment at Old Trafford.[1]
The club had been run as a public limited company since 1991, with an attempted takeover by Rupert Murdoch in 1998 blocked by the British Government. However, in May 2005 Malcolm Glazer completed a hostile takeover of the club and delisted it from the stock exchange.
The club was formed as Newton Heath F.C. in 1878 as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath. After nearing bankruptcy in 1902, the club was taken over by J H Davies who changed its name to Manchester United. The Old Trafford Football Ground was bombed during the Second World War, leading the club to seek charity from their then-illustrious neighbours Manchester City, who allowed them to play their games at Maine Road for a period. United appointed Sir Matt Busby as manager after the Second World War, and his then-unheard-of policy of producing most of the players through the club's youth team brought great success, with the club winning the Football League in 1956 and 1957. This success was halted by the Munich air disaster of 1958, in which eight of the club's players died. It was thought that the club might fold, but instead went on to win the football league in 1965 and 1967, and the European Cup in 1968.

Manchester United's history is as illustrious if not more than that of Liverpool. In the past Liverpool was the hotter football club in terms of silverware but Man U has marketed itself better worldwide - it's now like a pop culture with hundreds of thousands of fans here in Asia - many haven't the foggiest about football or their players. Like i said, it's pop culture. Do you know why you like Man U? and not Liverpool. After all we are not English or even British, why this mania over english football club?

yeah I agree Roma didnot deserve even a draw last night C Ronaldo improved a looot this year I guess he will win the best footballer of the year and he really deserves it this year like Kaka deserved it last year..yeah Man United's second goal was funny it was all Doni's mistake , Doni is an inconsistent goalie he won the Copa Ameroca with Brazil and he was really good but sometimes he makes very stupid mistakes ..the best Brazilain goalie at the moment is Juli Cesar Inter are lucky to have him , Gomes is also good
