They are more simliar.

Rooney might be better than Tevez (just for the sake of argument), but the dropoff from Ireland to Carrick is greater imho than Rooney to Tevez.
What i'm trying to say is that our squad is better than theirs.
Make sense?
cheers

Ha, never thought of it like that, looking at our first team and their first team I think the only regular I'd have from them is Vidic?

Why I here you ask? Rag I here you cry!
It's fucking simple - they've won the last 3 Premierships and been in the last 2 Champion's League finals (winning one) - therefore, until our boys do anything, anything (we were 50 points behind them last year ffs) that indicates otherwise, they are not as good - no matter how much more you like them. Yes we've made strong additions - but not players who've won the league in recent memory, nor players who'd be good enough to quarantee a starting berth at U***d (Tevez).
The deluded scousers would have done well to realise this last year - if your results aren't as good and you think your players are all better, then it is you that is wrong, not the league.
I hope this clears it up a little.
Rooney is, unfortunately, miles better than Ireland. Miles better. sorry.
