What a result, now the premiership title race is back on. Although Man U must still be favorites, with a 4 point lead.

Can't wait to see it on MOTD this evening, it's about time Man Utd were humbled, particularly Rooney, whos been saying he hates Liverpool in the press.

A good day on Merseyside then and I'm certain there will be many celebrations going on right now which will continue into the night.

Wayne Rooney is an over-rated, over paid egotistical little prick. When he moved to Man Utd, a great many fans in Liverpool felt betrayed because Everton and Liverpool supporters here are united on one thing - they hate Man Utd. So for Rooney to be shooting his mouth off like he has lately, I feel certain he will be the most hated man in Liverpool and it's districts. All Scousers are PASSIONATE about their football... Steven Gerrard is a local God and rightly so... he is a true player... born and bred in Liverpool, proud to be playing for Liverpool and no intention of leaving.

I'm not knocking Man Utd... Sir Alex Ferguson gets up my nose but he has earned my respect because you cannot argue with his success and he is obviously doing something right, but year after year with Man Utd winning the League and most of the cups, it's gotten boring and predictable so it's high time there is at least some kind of a change.

Only a 4 point lead with ten games and 30 points up for grabs. The title race is wide open again.

as much as i would love anyone but manu win the premiership i fear not, just take a look at manu's remaining fixtures
however you never know and manu certainly have had a lot of luck with last minute goals and inter could have scored 8 at old trafford
so let's hope for a lot of bad luck and dodgy ref decisions against manu for a change and they lose everything

Yes... I lost count of the times I sat through boring games on TV which Man Utd didn't deserve to win only for them to miraculously score in the final minute. It got to be a bit of a cliche.

Maybe they do play good games but 9 times out of 10 when I've watched Man Utd, I have been bored to tears and never failed to be amazed by how "lucky" they are.

Then there is the allegations that it is almost impossible for any visiting team to be given a penalty at Old Trafford. Not sure how true that is though.

No surprise to learn their remaining fixtures are probable walkovers... Grrr...

Well said, Mick. Not much chance of any ref decisions going against Man Utd though. Not sure how they achieved it, but they have 95% of Premiership refs in their pockets. Sad, but true.

Well I don't think anyone can touch Man U and still think Ronaldo is the best player in the world but Liverpool have been tremendous for the past few years (some of the greatest games have been won by them) and I've always said Gerrard should be England captain (a real class player). And Torres is fantastic (and dishy).

Chelsea are not dead yet - Martin O'Neill is a great manager (I thought he should be England manager) - it's still a season.

Martin O'Neill is manager of Aston Villa, not Chelsea, but I agree he seems good at his job and they could still finish in the top four.

Man Utd didn't get many decisions their way yesterday, and it was good to see their assistant manager not blaming it all on the referee. "We can't disagree with the sending off," he said.

It was a good result for Liverpool. Plus, I recall that when Man Utd have been beaten like this before, other teams have gained confidence and played more positively against Man Utd in the games that followed.

Two games can swing the whole thing around. It aint over till it's over.

Apologies DD, I should have made it clear that both Chelsea and Villa are still in the game (as, distantly, is Arsenal).
