Actually Curly, you will find that most people are out in force
because it was the biggest match in the English football season to
date.

It's not. But I can't really see the Scousers wanting to do Man Utd a
favour and help them to their 19th League title! Especially as they aren't
going to get 4th place anyway... I'd be very surprised if more points are
not dropped by both Man Utd and Chelsea though, so the fat lady isn't
singing just yet.

I did watch the match though admittedly didn't pay much attention to
the second half. But I could see in my peripheral vision that Manure
were still largely shithouse and Chelski were going through the
motions.

> Chelsea "decided to give them more
> possession"???

Yeah. Like hoofing the ball out of defense when you know that would
give it straight back to the opposition. There was really no need for
that kind of tactic as they were in better control of the game than
some of the back-men were allowing themselves to think.

You make little sense as usual, although thank you for more or less
admitting that did not watch the match.

"Hoofing the ball out of defense" as you put it does not equate to
"going through the motions". It strikes me as a team under pressure,
which Chelsea were during the initial 15 to 20 mins of the 2nd half.

Man Utd were indeed shithouse as you put it in the 1st half, however
when someone constantly refers to a team as "Manure" it is clearly
impossible to engage in reasoned debate.

So you are pretending to be up for reasonable debate now, are you?
