Honours even in "greatest game"


Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United

The "biggest game in club football"
Sees the weakest bench of a title contender
In the race for derrière splints
United had the subs bench blockbuster

Twelve hundred Red goals in the Premier
Giggs crumbles and leaves space free
"Nineteen titles" chant hushed
Five fingered salute and slide from Stevie G

Reina's league appearance record
Sixth Red to join the show
Soon a Mexican eluded a Slovak
Poacher's header from Chicharito

Le Bron James at Anfield
Miami heat River to the Mersey Styx
Still Sir Fergie hasn't beaten King Kenny
Not Since Boxing Day of eighty six

15.10.11

Number 7
