And it's absolutely ludicrous. It is. The Premier League are meddling in affairs that should frankly have nothing to do with them. The only people McCarthy should have to answer to, if any, are the fans. Do they only support the club if all of the top players are taking part?

Totally agree. The FA shouldn't have the authority to tell a manager who he should and shouldn't be picking. He's the manager and that's his decision.

Ipswich switch?

Giggs has only ever played his football for Ferguson at Man U. He's never given himself the chance to experience a different way of playing the game because he's been happy to stay there year after year. Who knows how good he could have been if he'd learned different things from different managers in a different environment? They say travel broadens the mind and in staying at the same club for 20 years or so Giggs hasn't broadened his horizons by trying to better himself in a different league/culture. He's obviously happy and comfortable playing for Man U and fair play to him but staying at the same club for your entire career is like only reading one chapter of a book. (Just read that back and it's pretty much all drivel!)

Hmm, nah. Scholes and Neville are fans and Giggs has remained an important player right up until now. I don't think any of that's relevant to the point I'm making though. For example, Beckham was also a Man United fan. That wasn't Beckham's choice. What point are you making? That Neville, Scholes, Giggs and co should have put in transfer requests when they started playing less regularly? No not at all, I've never suggested that, have I. Players don't ever only leave clubs by submitting transfer requests. It's a wider point, I just think too many of the English players are settled in their comfort zone in this country, compared to other nations. I'm sure the massive wages the English teams paid them had something to do with it too. At least the likes of McManaman, Platt, Walker, Ince had a go.

Well it wouldn't have been the Sun, would it? Wahey!

Well it wouldn't have been the Sun, would it?

Get in there. Love seeing them twats lose.

Arrogant fucker thinks he's reffing the game. 'I think I was fouled there so I'll stop playing and wait for the whistle' utter, utter tool.

Get the fucking fuck in.

Finding it hard to give a shit who makes our shirts tbh. Puma are ok I suppose but just about anything will be an improvement on the last 3 home shirts.

That rings a bell.

I know it's really petty to mention attendances but the mackems only got 37,000 today.

Reminds me a little bit of Asprilla in that respect. I think he's fucking great personally. Can't decide whether I think he's massively overrated or been completely wasted both at Man United & City. He's very inconsistent but he's one player who, no matter how shit he's been playing, can still pull something out of the bag to win the game with a pass or a dip of his shoulders. I'll always like players who can win games by themselves.

Reminds me a little bit of Asprilla in that respect. I think he's fucking great personally.

9-1 = 3 points 1-0 = 3 points

Bingo.

Gypsy Rose Lee couldn't anticipate Dicehead's flick-on's man.

Definately. Not so sure. All depends who's owning the club at the time and I've stopped trying to second guess Ashley and his fucked-up 'logic'.

Don't think it's anything to do with Kinnear, just he's a cautious bloke who knows the fans didn't want him in charge in the first place. It's certainly had an effect, running so many training sessions (on his own pretty much) that were 90% focused on defensive training. Playing Devil's advocate but who can argue with only 12 goals conceded in 21 games? Throw in 8 points clear at the top of the League and 3 manager of the month awards out of 4... We can all see the faults and deficiencies but he's got the results to back him up.

Some of the selections were a bit dodgy like. I can only presume he wants to mix it up and keep people fresh for the busy couple of weeks we've got coming up. Don't agree with him for dropping people despite them playing well but there might have been a bit of method to his madness.

Annoying to be pegged back late on but we can't expect to win every single game, especially away from home - other teams have dropped points all over the place. Need to bounce back and beat Boro. A 50,000+ crowd would be tremendous. No panic here.

You'd still want him? Could we sign a better RB for less than that? He's obviously not getting his game and we're looking quite good for promotion, so why not? We haven't got a RB on our books and adding Simpson and Beye for a million would be good business if we can swing it with Man U and Villa.

Wonder if Villa would take £500k for Beye?

Wrong thread mate. I couldn't find the "Things you are supposed to think are s*** but you think are great" thread. Well you sucked all the fun out of that joke didn't you. I'm fat, I get hungry, what can I say? Nothing would be a good start. OOOOOOooooOOOOOO Saucer of milk?
