So looking at the league table, Utd's one man team (Rooney) is better than Liverpool's two man team? (Gerrard and Torres).

Rooney > Gerrard and Torres combined.

Except Rooney has played as many as Gerrard and Torres combined so I'd say Rooney > Gerros. However in their only meeting this season Torres beat Rooney so I'd say it's a draw.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one.

Fair way of doing it. In that case..

Zamora>Rooney

Dindane>Torres
O'Hara>Gerrard

Superb.

Maybe it's all just a pre-cursor to a RL/ US-style end of season play-off & Grand Final.
As in RL the final League position would determine home advantage in the play-offs with a final at Wembley (conveniently helps with funds for Wembley too)

Whilst a massive break from tradition it's possibly something Sky may want as part of a renewed (and maybe larger) TV deal.
They (over)hype up matches between 'The Big 4' as it is but imagine what they would do during the play-offs building up to a one-off match at Wembley to win the English title in front of 90,000 fans?

Matches that could be -
United v Liverpool
United v Chelsea
Chelsea v Liverpool
United v City (if they continue to improve)
Chelsea v Arsenal

And then some!

Looks like Nani is back to normal

What a goal! Absolute cracker for Lyon. Will be hard for Madrid in the second leg but still fancy them to go through.

He wasn't very good tonight. His final balls were shocking!
