They have won the English titles more than any other teams and lifted the European Cup more often than anyone else in the land too. Liverpool versus Manchester United is as big as it gets. We look back at 10 memorable Premier League matches between the great rivals... Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool in 1992The first game between the two teams since the advent of the Premier League came in October 1992 at Old Trafford, pitting Sir Alex Fergusons United against Graeme Sounesss Liverpool. The visitors looked set for a win too when Don Hutchinsons deflected strike gave them the lead and Ian Rush later doubled the advantage with his 287th goal for the Reds - surpassing Roger Hunts club record. But United produced the sort of comeback that was to typify their decade. With 12 minutes remaining, Mark Hughes came up with a wonderful lobbed volley after substitute Clayton Blackmore had chipped the ball into his compatriots path. Hughes then seized upon a Ryan Giggs pass to equalise in the final minute and earn United an unlikely point. Even Ferguson admitted it was fortunate. We didnt play particularly well and perhaps we didnt deserve a point. Highlights of the 2-2 draw between Manchester United and Liverpool in 1992 Souness was frustrated. With a bit more ringcraft and fieldcraft, we would probably have won, he said. But it was to prove an indicator of what was to come. The previous season had been the first since 1968 that United had finished above Liverpool and 1992/93 saw them go one better and win the title for the first time since 1967. Liverpool eventually finished sixth for a second successive season - their joint lowest finish in 28 years.Liverpool 3-3 Manchester United in 1994Liverpool produced one of the great Premier League comebacks in an iconic encounter from the 1993/94 season. United took a three-goal lead midway through the first half, only to see their advantage wiped out by an astonishing turnaround. As Jamie Redknapp recalls, that didnt look on the cards when Steve Bruce headed United in front from Eric Cantonas cross. Highlights of the 3-3 draw between Liverpool and Manchester United in 1994 The first quarter of the game was a nightmare for us, Redknapp told Sky Sports. Bruce had already scored, and then I gave a short pass back to Mark Wright, and Giggs went round him and chipped a goal in for Uniteds second. We were all struggling. We were soon 3-0 down and in a fixture of that enormity, you want the ground to swallow you up. Youre at home to your biggest rivals, and youre getting outclassed. Neil Ruddock and Jamie Redknapp celebrate Liverpools late equaliser in 1994 Two goals by Nigel Clough turned the game on its head and with the visitors holding on, Neil Razor Ruddock headed in a dramatic equaliser to send Anfield wild with delight. When we got back to 3-2, you could sense the crowd knew something special was happening, added Redknapp. It really was an amazing night. The atmosphere was fierce. It makes your hair stand on end.Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool in 1995This fixture marked the return of Eric Cantona after serving an eight-month suspension for his infamous kung-fu kick at Selhurst Park. Typically, he had an immediate impact - just 67 seconds into the game, to be precise - in crossing for Nicky Butt to open the scoring. Robbie Fowler threatened to spoil the comeback with goals either side of half-time but when Jamie Redknapp was adjudged to have fouled Giggs, Cantona had the final word from the penalty spot. Eric Cantona of Manchester United celebrates scoring against Liverpool in 1995 Liverpool boss Roy Evans was unimpressed by referee David Ellerays role. It is a sad story when the referee thinks he has equal billing with Eric Cantona, said Evans. I thought Cantona passed the test but the referee did not. We deserved more than we got. We lost two points on a dodgy decision. Ferguson just seemed relieved the drama was over. Eric did well, he said. Hes tired, of course, but he can be pleased with his performance. And the hypes over, thank goodness.Liverpool 2-3 Manchester United in 1999Once is misfortune but twice is carelessness and so Jamie Carragher will not have fond memories of this Anfield defeat in 1999 after twice beating his own goalkeeper. The Liverpool defender headed beyond Sander Westerveld inside three minutes and when Andy Cole netted from a trademark David Beckham free-kick, things looked routine for the Premier League and European champions. Jamie Carragher heads the ball into his own net at Anfield in 1999 But Massimo Taibi, otherwise impressive on debut in the United goal, gave Liverpool a route back when he failed to claim a free-kick and Sami Hyypia pulled one back. A second Carragher own-goal from another Beckham free-kick restored Uniteds two-goal lead but when Patrik Berger scored and Cole received a second yellow for taking a swipe at Rigobert Song, it made for a grandstand finish. Substitute Michael Owen did toe-poke just wide, but the comeback was to no avail.Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool in 2006Despite featuring a last-minute winner for Manchester United courtesy of Rio Ferdinands header from a Giggs free-kick, this was a game more noteworthy for the bad blood that followed. Jose Mourinhos Chelsea won the title that year but this fixture isnt all about trophies as Gary Nevilles actions showed. The United full-backs decision to run the length of the field to celebrate the winner in front of the visiting Liverpool fans caused controversy. Neville was unapologetic. Rio Ferdinand celebrates scoring in injury time against Liverpool in 2006 I would have been apologetic if Id run up to one of their players and tried to belittle them but this was a celebration, he told The Times. What are you meant to do? Smile sweetly and jog back to the halfway line? Monday Night Football colleague Carragher had a different view. I think there is a line and Neville crossed it. Ive heard people say its justified because he gets a lot of stick from our fans but the truth is he gets stick as hes been doing that for years.Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United in 2008Ryan Babels time at Anfield was far from glorious but he did have this moment - a late Anfield winner against Manchester United - to cherish. Giggs was robbed by Javier Mascherano and Babel turned in Dirk Kuyts subsequent pass to give Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez his first Premier League win over United, despite the absence of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres. Ryan Babel celebrates with Robbie Keane after scoring Liverpools winner in 2008 Carlos Tevez had given the visitors the lead after turning in a pull back from United debutant Dimitar Berbatov but things soon turned sour for them when Edwin van der Sar palmed an attempted clearance against Wes Brown and saw it roll in for the equaliser. There was no way back from Babels winner with Nemanja Vidic capping a miserable afternoon by seeing red late on.Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool in 2009Manchester United were the defending champions and league leaders at the time but found themselves taken apart at Old Trafford by a motivated Liverpool team. Cristiano Ronaldo had given the home side the lead from the penalty spot but Torres forced a mistake from Vidic soon after and United capitulated. Gerrard put Liverpool ahead - also with a penalty - before inducing another Vidic error that saw the defender sent off. Fernando Torres beats Manchester Uniteds Nemanja Vidic to score in 2009 Fabio Aurelio curled home from the resulting free-kick, before Andrea Dossena capped an amazing afternoon for Liverpool by lobbing Edwin van der Sar. Ferguson was less than magnanimous. I thought we were the better team, but the score doesnt reflect that, he said. Rafa Benitez preferred to look ahead. If we are going to win the title, we are going to need three points from every game and United to drop some more. It didnt happen and Liverpool fell four points short.Manchester United 3-2 Liverpool in 2010Berbatovs career at United began with a defeat to Liverpool and that seemed to set the tone for the following two seasons in which he scored just 26 goals in 86 appearances. But things improved at the start of the 2010/11 campaign, with Berbatov scoring in four of his first five appearances. Finally he was in form and he duly put United two goals up against Liverpool in the early season derby game. Dimitar Berbatov completes his hat-trick against Liverpool in 2010 Gerrard threatened to scupper things, scoring a penalty to pull one back and then levelling the scores with 20 minutes remaining courtesy of a 20-yard free-kick. But Berbatov completed his hat-trick - the first by a United player against Liverpool since 1946 - when he rose above Carragher to convert John OSheas cross. It felt like the moment from which the mercurial forward would go on to justify his vast price tag.You must persevere and trust your judgement, you must have faith, and I think we are being rewarded this season for our confidence in him, said Ferguson afterwards. In a sense, Berbatov delivered. The Bulgarian finished the season as the Premier Leagues joint-top scorer. But Ferguson failed to live by his own words - choosing to omit Berbatov from his squad for the 2011 Champions League Final against Barcelona at the end of that season.Liverpool 3-1 Manchester United in 2011Kuyt was the unlikely hat-trick hero for Liverpool as he became the first Reds player to score a hat-trick against Manchester United since Peter Beardsley in 1990. Luis Suarez was the catalyst for all three goals as Liverpool got the better of a United side unexpectedly faltering in their push for the Premier League title. Luis Suarez sets up Dirk Kuyt to score his first in 2011 Fergusons men had been unbeaten in 23 games at the start of the league season but this was their third reverse in a month and second in a week to allow Arsenal to close within three points with a game in hand. The Red Devils held on to claim the title but this Anfield result marked a memorable high point in Kenny Dalglishs second spell in charge.Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool in 2014David Moyes time in charge of United was littered with lows but few plumbed the depths quite like this miserable surrender against Liverpool in March 2014. The visitors dominated early on and finally took the lead in front of the Stretford End when Rafaels handball allowed Gerrard to open the scoring from the spot. Soon after the restart, Phil Jones clumsily fouled Joe Allen and Gerrard converted again. Steven Gerrard celebrates scoring a goal at Old Trafford by kissing a camera The Liverpool skipper might have made it a hat-trick of penalties but squandered the opportunity when Vidic was adjudged to have fouled Daniel Sturridge - and was sent off for his troubles too - but Suarez soon added a third anyway. Its a nightmare, said Wayne Rooney. Its one of the worst days Ive ever had in football. Moyes, meanwhile, had an admission. I think the job was always going to be hard but if you are asking me is it harder than I thought, I would say so, yes. He was sacked the following month.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Ill admit it.When it comes to watching sports on television or in person, its all about me. I want to be entertained. I want heroes and villains. I want to have someone to cheer, and someone to boo. I want to laugh. I want to curse. And every now and again I want to see a moment thrilling enough to force me to get up out of my seat.Poker used to provide that for me. It was the foundation for some of my favorite reality shows a decade ago. Not only would I watch the World Series of Poker every year, but I would watch the World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel, Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo, High Stakes Poker on GSN, Poker Dome Challenge on FSN, Poker After Dark on NBC and Im sure a handful of other now-defunct shows.I didnt necessarily watch because of the poker; I already got my fix of bad beats at the hands of my little brother, who like millions of others briefly wanted to become a professional poker player after watching Chris Moneymaker win the 2003 World Series of Poker. I watched because of the characters I had become connected to while watching all these shows. I developed this bond because they all talked at the table and revealed a human side of themselves I either liked (Antonio Esfandiari), disliked (Phil Hellmuth) or was simply apathetic to (Joe Hachem).It was similar to my love of pro wrestling. When it comes to the art of the squared circle, Im not a purist who watches for five-star matches replete with every move from an arm bar to a wheelbarrow. I love the guys who can get on the microphone and rile up the crowd.Like many others, I started to lose interest in poker as a televised sport before it was hit with its Black Friday in 2011. The shows became stale, there was never an influx of new young stars to mix things up and there were only so many times I could hear the same jokes from the same players and commentators.But I was told the World Series of Poker main event final table was the one time where poker once again felt like it did a decade ago. For three days in the fall it was once again a spectator sport, drawing big crowds for a nationally televised event worth millions of dollars for the nine players at the table.After attending this years November Nine, I came away yearning for the characters that made me fall in love with the game as I tried to stay awake until the final hand.No tickets were needed to watch the final table, but there were times when it felt like a library card might be needed. For the better part of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the quietest place in Las Vegas was the Penn & Teller Theater, which has been the home of the November Nine since 2008.The characters, drama and banter (ranging from collegial to contentious), which made poker such a fun sport to watch a decade ago, were completely absent inside an eerily quiet 1,475-seat theater where ushers roamed the aisles like teachers through a classroom to make sure no one was on their cell phones.The only voice that could be heard from the stage during each hand was that of Jack Effel, the vice president and tournament director for the WSOP who doubles as the play-by-play announcer for the in-house audience. The players had their own cheering sections inside the theater, which made up much of the live crowd that diminished with each day as players were eliminated.Michael Ruane, 28, had the most boisterous section, with many of his friends dressed as pro wrestlers from the 1990s. Las Vegas resident Qui Nguyen, 39, had a ton of local support as they chanted, Who win? Qui Nguyen! each time he collected chips. And those cheering for Kenny Hallaert, 34, mixed in some European soccer chants. But people watching a crowd filled with friends and family is only interesting to a certain point.I knew I wouldnt have any real connection to the November Nine coming into the final table, but the truth is I had no real connection to them after watching them play for a dozen hours either.dddddddddddd Its inherently hard to connect to people that dont say anything, or show any emotion.The oldest and most recognizable player at the final table, and the chip leader when play began, was 50-year old Cliff JohnnyBax Josephy, who had previously won two WSOP bracelets. While normally engaging, Josephy was mostly silent for the first two days and even went against the grain by wearing glasses and a hat on the final day, which he never does and previously said he was against.Theres more tension at the final table, Josephy said. Everyone is tense. Theyre playing for money that many people havent seen in their lives. Its understandable that people dont talk but everyone is friendly. Everyone likes each other. This is a group of guys that really like each other. Everyone is nice.Effel echoed those sentiments after the second day of play as the chips for the final three players, Josephy, Gordon Vayo and Nguyen, the eventual winner, were put away.When youre playing for $8 million youre paying attention to every little thing that you do, Effel said. Youre hoping somebody else makes a mistake so you can capitalize on their mistakes. Theyre more interested in playing poker than talking.It makes sense, of course, but it also makes me nostalgic for a time where the stakes didnt make players go into their shells. The walkway leading into the Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio in Las Vegas is lined with oversized photographs of past WSOP main event champions. I didnt recognize the past eight champions, all in their 20s, who looked more like fraternity pledges than poker champions. But I stopped when I got to Jamie Golds photo. Ten years ago Gold, who was a talent agent turned television producer, won the 2006 WSOP main event and $12 million, still a record, while outlasting a field of 8,773 entrants -- also a record. It was the high water mark of a game that would soon see a significant dip in interest and participation.Gold was an antagonist and a polarizing figure during his improbable run a decade ago, and one of my favorite players to watch. He talked big while bluffing with nothing, sweet-talked players into reluctantly folding better hands by telling them he would show them his hand and even flashed one of his cards to Michael Binger at the final table, causing Binger to lay down the winning hand. The reasons his antics were frowned upon by purists were the same reasons I enjoyed watching him play.You need to have players talking to have heroes and villains, Gold told me over the phone after the first day of the final table. Once you take away the character side of it, youre killing the entertainment value and the reason why advertisers, sponsors and viewers would want to watch. I wasnt that special, but I had an opportunity to create a character by speaking. Viewers want to watch personalities and have a storyline and an arc play out on television. For the most part, poker on television has become this mundane, mind-numbing endeavor.Even worse than the television viewing experience, however, is the live viewing experience. At least viewers at home are able to see the players hands while listening to the entertaining trio of Lon McEachern, Norman Chad and Esfandiari in the broadcast booth. But not even the personalities of the announcers can make up for the disconnect between the viewers and the players at the table.Until that connection can once again be made, my poker needs will continue to be met away from my television -- relegated instead to losing money to my little brother.
