"My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f***ing perch - and you can print that." - Sir Alex Ferguson.

Obviously, one has to feel sorry for Liverpool fans, with United winning the Premiership for a third season in a row, thereby equalling Liverpool's total of 18 championships, a feat they said would never be matched.

And next year their achievement will be surpassed and written out of the history books forever. It must be truly galling for them.
Meanwhile, 19 years without winning the league, on and on they go in hot pursuit of United's one-time record of 26 years without being champions of England.

Never mind, Anthony, you can always take comfort in the fact that Liverpool have a wonderful past to look forward to...

Marty, Dopey - priceless. Loved it

Enjoyed the game and enjoyed watching the "biggest, richest, best supported, most famous,blah blah blah" club in world football being taught a lesson by a first season manager.

Regarding Ferguson being possibly the best ever manager of an english team, well it certainly helps when you have more money to spend, over a longer period, than anybody else in english football.

This is not to say he hasn't been amazing and developed an incredible winning attitude at the club.

Anyway as a Villa fan I hope O'Neill will show us in the coming years that he deserves the title you feel may well belong to Ferguson.

One other point though is that for non lovers of football technique the match was pretty lifeless.
