Sounds like a bitter Liverpool fan.

Hmmmm, it doesnt sound like you're really a United fan. If you were then you wouldnt be hating on our best player of last season.We've had foreign players ever since the EPL began or dont you remember such great players as Schmeichel, Stam and Cantona?And the player who scored the winning goal in the Big Cup final was from Norway.
