Worthington Cup Final discussion: Liverpool vs. Manchester United [R]
I've got a feeling that this game might generate a little interest among fans  Feel free to discuss the match here.
Man United look like they'll have a few injuries (No Forlan, possibly no Giggs and perhaps not even Scholes either) but they've got to be considered the favorites. All the pre-game talk seems to involve somebody talking about how Man United are the more confident side and how Houllier really needs to win this one to save his job. But then again, Liverpool are a good Cup final side.
Kick-off is Sunday at 2 p.m. GMT

I feel sorry for United, they came to play but Liverpool just wanted to defend. They got a lucky goal and then just sat back. Football was the loser today.

How would anyone who follows spurs know what football is. Thanks for the sour comments.

The fact is that your negative tactics made the first half appalling to watch (rather like your performances for most of this season). If Liverpool had lost today at least Houllier might have altered his tactics slightly. Nobody wants to watch Liverpool anymore because they never attack. At least under roy evans you were exciting.

Everyone's figured out you're a Liverpool hater that wouldn't say anything nice about them if you had to. Keep your biased comments to yourself and quit trolling. "Football was the loser today"...how dramatic. Enjoy another trophy-less season.

I wish people would stop undermining the Worthington Cup. True, it's a "secondary" cup to the FA Cup or the premiership championship, but the fact is it's still a tough tournament for a prize that isn't exactly easy to win.
I find that teams and supporters only refer to it as the Worthless Cup when they've been knocked out of the tournament. See, once there was this fox, and he spied a bunch of juicy grapes sitting on a vine high above him...
I thought the scousers did very well today, and thoroughly deserve their trophy. Plus, it's always nice to see ManU stumble ineptly to a loss. (When David Seaman retires, maybe we can steal Jerzy Dudek? Heh.)

No, Manchester United were the losers. Don't knock a team for playing defense first. They played to win the Cup, not to please bitter neutrals.
