Funny you should post this. I spent Monday-Wednesday at the Innovation Park in Liverpool. The NHS spared no expense and put me up at the Beech Mount Hotel. The owner - a walking scouse cliche - was chirping on most mornings about his beloved Liverpool and how the Academy kids are all loving life now 'King Kenny' has returned. He started goiong on about them playing the Utd lads off the park earlier in the Academy/Reserve season and I could only recall one match, the 2-0 Utd win.

Surely he wasn't lying?

When did we beat them 2-0?

They beat us in the reserves in September which was 1-0, which I'd imagine is what he was on about.

United could be 3-0 up here, had 1 cleared off the line and a couple that have gone just wide. Keane was penalised before for one of the scouse players pulling his shirt, which should have been a penalty.

Quite a few tasty tackles put in by the scousers.

We'll dick these though today.

The under 16's are currently getting beat 1-0
My cousins boyfriend is playing for Liverpool under 16's, he said he hates playing against United, especially away as they get so much abuse its unreal.
He's only 15, but has been called up for the under 18's a couple of times.

I thought the reserves beat them 2-0 when they had Plessis (or however you spell it) sent off.

He was probably on about the reverse Academy fixture I guess, although I didn't think Mr Personality had returned by then?

Anyway, full of shite the lot of them. It was the assessment that he gave about them playing us off the park, light years ahead etc etc which made me chuckle. That was before the clown went on to tell me about 9/11 and how missiles had been fired from the commercial jets before hitting the two towers. Hanging out the windows they were with their M72 LAWs!

Before leaving I asked him what he thought of the Hillsborough memorial.

Nah they beat us 1-0 in that game.

Play wise, United are light years ahead of the others. Don't think the scousers could play any team off the park at of the levels.

I'm going mad. I swear I saw Utd reserves (with King, Eikrem etc) beat Liverpool reserves 2-0 this season. Senior Cup fixture?

Oh £#%&! it. I'm off for a poo.

We've battered them and lost in both reserve games against them that I've seen this season.

3-0 Keane again. Scrappy game but Pertucci looks good.

Good result considering the amount of players we have out.

Keane is a very composed finisher, took both goals well.

I imagine King will be playing in the Youth cup, if fit.

hows larnell cole doing ?

Shit goal to give away there.

3-1 ft?

Confirmed.

I saw summat this week, might've been Albiston saying it, that Keane reminds him of Sheringham. Any thoughts?

By the way, what a fullback Albiston was.

Was a great player, him and Martin Buchan were my favourite players as a kid, I was a defender

Always thought he should have played a lot more for Scotland.

Yup, loved Buchan too. Calmest defender I think I've ever seem, which is amazing given how lightweight the midfield's in front of him often were. Did we go from Albiston straight to Colin Gibson? I £#%&!ing hated him, Toblerone shaped booted @#%&!.

I've only seen him a few times but he's nothing like Sherringham. More of a Solskaer type player. If he gets a chance, he'll probably take it. Sherringham was more involved in play.

So, albiston, great player, crap pundit.

By the way, McGinty.
