  1. Torres has a better goals per game ratio than anyone in­ the premiership & elrosso is a total wind~up­ merchant who isn't worth replying to because he­ knows there's only 1 striker at manu who is in the­ same league as torres & drogba & that's­ rooney

  4. I would like to thank Chrisar for reminding useless­ Elrosso and Mgodsall that Macheda's goal against­ Chelsea was clearly handball. Again, only shallow minds­ like the two Man Utd fans mentioned failed to see­ that.In fact, it is not worth responding to their­ comments which instead of doing good to one's­ reasoning, confuses one the more. I am not surprised­ because those comments came from depraved minds, whose­ reasonings are beclouded by being Man Utd fans.

  5. there are 4 liverpool players lol; Reina, Skrtel,­ Gerrard and Torres. Why this when liverpool had 11­ players on the pitch? Atleast 8 could have worked­ better.

  6. whats the basis......for this @#$% of a list!

  8. Another worthless comment on this page is that posted­ by the so-called Mgodsall, who in his foolishness­ posited that Chelsea defeated Man Utd with two offside­ goals. Man Utd fans such as the foolish Mgodsall should­ grow up and not behave like kids who look for reasons­ anytime something doesn't go in their favour.­ Learnt to accept defeat and that is the only way to­ face reality. Chelsea fans are not looking for excuses­ over the defeat of their team by Man Utd at the­ Community Shield. The hallmarks of depraved mined are­ always questioning referees' decision and not­ accepting the reality as the so-called Elrosso and­ Mgodsall.

  14. The most stupid comments to be posted on this page are­ those from the so-called useless Elrosso. He is­ uncouth, foul-mouth and a nonentity whose comments are­ worth nothing. Everyone, including the die-hard Man Utd­ fans will know that his comments do not reflect­ reality. Therefore, those out of place comments should­ be disregared as the have emanated only from a depraved­ mind called Elrosso.
