Chicharito celebrates yet another goal

As Sir Alex Ferguson looks set to place Manchester United on their new perch right at the top of English football, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher have moved quickly this week to stoke the fires and suggest Liverpool’s first league title in 19 years is edging closer and closer and that Liverpool will be hell bent on taking the lead once again.

I for one however am not convinced. It’s now Sir Alex’s 12th league title since taking over at Manchester United, and the cries of ‘this time next year’ (almost Del Boy like)  have been heard from far too often from the scousers.

On the day that Dalglish signs a 3 year deal at Anfield excitement is always going to be running high with talk on Merseyside of a new generation of young players coming through that are supposedly ready to take the Premier League by storm! Don’t worry I’m not going to do a Hansen on us all and suggest they ‘won’t win anything with kids’! But would like to throw a few young names their way from our ranks here at Old Trafford that are in my opinion streets ahead of the likes of Carroll (22), Spearing (22), Shelvey (19), and Flanagan (18).

The first name I will throw your way is 20 goals into his first season in English football; Javier Hernandez. Just like Liverpool’s £35million (Yes, you read it right, they did pay that much for him) Andy Carroll, he is 22 years of age and looks a real goal threat every time he puts on the famous United strip. Maybe I’m being biased but when the great Pele says ‘He could be the next Messi because he has great talent!’ I think I’ll side with him.

As for the young full backs they’ve been boasting about over the last couple of weeks, maybe they’ve not realized we have 2 young full backs of our own in the Brazilian twins Fabio and Rafael. At just 20 years of age each and already over 100 first team appearances between them, the future is looking very bright!

We can now move onto out 2 young centre backs in Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling. With Rio Ferdinand missing most of this season and last through injury, it’s been these two that have stepped in to partner Nemanja Vidic and maintained one of the best defensive records over the last two seasons. These include games at the highest level, especially recently when they were paired together in the Champions League semi-final against Shalke to keep Raul of all people at bay.

Other young players in the Old Trafford system include Anderson, Gibson, Welbeck, Cleverley, and Macheda who have all been predicted big futures by Sir Alex. So yes, I can accept that things may be looking a little brighter than they were a few months ago, but please don’t be silly enough to suggest you’re the only club with youngsters coming through the youth system for the future.

    • Ian Williams says:

      • Suarez says:

        14 year head start and your manager says the CL IS THE BENCHMARK OF SUCCESS.Become the first team to win it 3 times on the bounce and then come back and gloat.

        • jose says:

          LFC have only one champions league title, which is the bench mark, when LFC won all their “European cups” only one team from each league got through, meaning the team finishing top in England, Spain and Italy were odds on on lifting it nearly every other year, since 1997 up to 4 teams from each of these leagues qualify making it tougher to be successful, so I agree the “Champions League (TM)” is the bench mark and united are on top there too.

    counting charity shields and all are you?

    • eric the king says:

      A lot of utd fans don’t worry about the charity shield, however I seem to recall straw clutching scousers using it in their 5 trophies in a year claim, along with a uefa cup against a team nobody had heard of before, or since.
      You must remember this, fro your famous treble season! Fa cup , league cup, uefa cup. Still piss myself laughing as such desperate claims. sadly, I’m old enough to remember when you were a big club.

  4. txo says:

    Can I just point out that Liverpool’s under 18 side beat Man Utd’s under 18 – 6-0 just 4 weeks ago.

    Still looking bright?

    • Ezra says:

    Man united fans r the best best fans in this world bcz they hate liver’cows not bull.kkk

  8. Abhi says:

    Man records are always meant to be broken. U have surpassed us which deemed impossible 20 years ago. So nothing is impossible in this world. But since kenny’s been here we have been concentrating only about ourselves not anyone and one would expect some reaction from us when u overtook us. But u reacting to our status shows and approves we are on the rise and soon we will be back soon where we belong. we never said future is only bright for liverpool. I hate ManU the most alongside australian cricket team. U both are the same and look what happened to them now. Iam not sayin Manu should or will become like them. Lfc, Manu, Arsenal are the three big teams in england. i rather hope you 2 win the title than those 2 bankrupted clubs(chelsea,mancity). As much as we hate each other we have to accept we along with arsenal are true big clubs in england.

    Like “I” always said… The higher u climb… the harder you fall… so cherish your moment when its still yours… YNWA
