Manchester United vs Liverpool

English Premier league leaders Manchester United took on their arch rivals Liverpool this afternoon with the opportunity to go 10 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand, having been 10 points behind the leaders at Christmas time with the naysayers already having written them off. After Ronaldo scored a penalty early on in the first half, Liverpool then came back and gave United a veritable thrashing. A bitter pill for United fans to swallow, with the only upside being that if United can get back on track again, they will equal Liverpool's record of domestic trophies, and as Sir Alex Ferguson so eloquently put it several years ago, "knock them off their fucking perch"!.
The police presence for this game was so over the top, it was quite unbelievable. One of the officers himself said that he had "never seen so many yellow jackets before". A few arrests were made, but by and large the game passed without incident.
