I'm speechless. I thought "our lot" were bad. Dunphy and Brady are absolute ****ing morons of the worst kind.

"Gerrard got found out tonight - a nothing player"

**** me, what a thick c*nt.

[KK07]

Was watching last night and I couldn't believe it.
Even Manc fans in work saying it was unreal!!

I was hoping it would be on youtube as I wanted the lads off of here to see it for themselves.

Was kinda surprised by them last night.
Think Dunphy was on the sauce again before he got into the studio

Luckily for us, they never gave us a chance in any game we played in the CL in 2005. So hopefully they wont give us a chance this time out

Brady had a cracking comment re Momo and his chance that clipped the crossbar. Something along the lines of "the only pass he nearly completed"

Also, spotted this uTube from the above link. Dunphy, telling it like it is

He's a ****ing cock. How he has a career is beyond me.

not long home from the game.
Just watched that clip of the lads, and im shocked at their reaction, especially John Giles who is normally spot on.
Dunphy is a tosser of the highest calibre though. Im atually ashamed that they are from the same country as me talking crap like that.

There fickle lads. Thetr were taken Manure apart tonight as well.

I enjoy listening to them, though i taught some of last nights comments were harsh but the made some good points.

They had one good and valid point. With all the chances we had, we didn't finish off Barca. Can't really argue with that.

It seems the Irish media do not agree with Dunphy and co.:

Benitez makes perfect pitch to new owners
By Sam Wallace
Published: 08 March 2007

Lucky old Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, because events like Tuesday night at Anfield are exactly why American billionaires of a pensionable age buy English football clubs. The chance to hear a load of songs you do not quite understand, to watch on both sides a lot of famous footballers you do not quite recognise. When you can have all that, why leave the money to the grandchildren?

The Glazers would love to do the same but they have not been accepted in the same way in Manchester, certainly not to the extent of Stars and Stripes being flown on the Stretford End, as they have been on the Kop of late (with a star for every European Cup triumph). Nights like Tuesday are when the Americans can appreciate the full eccentricity of their new sport - victory in defeat? - as well as a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

In short, a great Liverpool night and, in terms of the opposition eliminated, knocking out Barcelona compared with all the big ones in recent memory, Roma (2002), Olympiakos (2004) and Chelsea (2005). That is the simple version for the owners who arrived at Anfield talking the innocents' jargon of "goaltenders" and "defensemen"; the more complex interpretation requires a bit more explanation. Namely, is the way that Liverpool played - the hustling, the containment, the pressing - the long-term solution, enough to win another European Cup?

Just the debate itself is one that is likely to make Benitez despair. For 180 minutes we had heard barely a tinkle from the great orchestra of Barcelona's attacking talent. Whatever problems that club is experiencing it is an astounding achievement just to keep Ronaldinho in check, let alone Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi and Deco.

And yet on Irish television's RTE the pundits John Giles and Liam Brady whipped up something of a storm among the club's following there by saying that more should have been done against a Barcelona team there for the taking. And Rijkaard, who was gracious and philosophical in defeat, also talked about a Liverpool team "full of teamwork" - and a way of playing, he added pointedly, "they do quite well".

Unfortunately Benitez's style means that he can eliminate the European champions and still have people asking him for more. He might say that with the money promised by his American owners he will be able to assemble a more dominant team. For now he is busy taking apart English football's comfortable old approach of honest naïvety in European competition; the days when the English would throw the kitchen sink at the opposition and the opposition would throw them out of the competition.

Anfield was an education in a more sophisticated way. Some might squirm in their seats at the prospect of not trying to beat Ronaldinho and his team-mates at their own expansive game, but to Benitez that kind of talk is madness. The Liverpool manager, and to a lesser extent Jose Mourinho, have made their sides in Europe less lovable and a lot more successful.

There were also some performances which were beyond reproach. Jamie Carragher is a defender who seems to intervene in the very last frame of the action, in that brief moment of vulnerability when the attacker draws back his foot and takes one last glance at the goal. So, too, Steve Finnan and Daniel Agger, who never wavered in their concentration. This was a brilliantly conceived performance in which - other than in Eidur Gudjohnsen's goal - Benitez must have seen the drills and the patterns of the training ground played out to perfection.

Benitez has ignored the British game's obsession with declaring your best XI and your way of winning. He has a different team for every different game, he asks players to play different ways on different occasions, he is happy to win away and lose at home if that gets the team through. He wins European Cups before Premiership titles. It does not always work, but on Tuesday night even the novice Americans would have seen it was Europe's defending champions who looked the most naïve.
