Belfast Boy

should be 4 or 5 if they could finish

Never understood the point of pouring water over a sore foot, surely he now just has a sore, wet foot as opposed to a sore one.

Seems to me that Cabaye has been told to sit deeper than Tiote. I would swap them two and also send Obertan out right and give Ben Arfa the free role. Interesting what Pardew said in the week about needing to be still in the game with 15 to go. I wonder if there is any chance of us going two up front if its still level then.

Talksport (I know) reporting that Pardew has said Ba staying depends on us getting into Europe. Any idea where this has came from?

Looking at the table, is Liverpool's game in hand against Everton? Home or away?

Which Man United players?

I expected the midfield to be a whole choice of names but in the end struggled to come up with Dempsey. Left back was tricky too. RVP has to be player of the season.

Apologies if this is too early but I was just wondering which, if any, of our players may be in with a shout for this. For me Krul and Ba must be considered but I cant really make a case for anyone else. Midfield will be interesting as the usual favourites will be expected but is there room for Parker and Scholes when you consider the season Man City have had? I expect Hart will be in goal but surely Krul must be close and there is only one space left alongside RVP but who stands out more than Ba? My Team: Krul Walker Kompany Skrtel Assou-Ekotto Yaya Toure Silva Dempsey Bale RVP Ba

If Bruce is offered the job I can see him stalling til after they play us. Would be ideal to have him in charge when we play them but second best is no manager at all still.

HMRC filing for that would make a huge difference. I think it would mean the administator would be in there with the prime objective of paying the debts, ie a firesale.

No Suarez???

Assou-ekkotu got away with an awful challenge last night that the ref apparently didnt see. I wonder if we will hear anything about that.

All ifs and buts, BUT IF things stay the same, and IF we win tomorrow, we will only be two points behind Chelsea.

Ben Amos starts in goal for man united

How old can Darren Caskey be? Am I right in thinking that I am now older than the players dads??

Where did the three posts go from just after 7pm? EDIT: My mistake, for some reason we are discussing the game in the Mariappa thread.

Thats an understatement, there's only 10 of them!

I remember a similar thing from alan robson one night on the radio saying there would be news of a huge signing for newcastle in the journal.spent the night dreaming of pedro returning and rushed to the shops in the morning to find the bloody flashing blade himself was the new announce.

Who was that about?

WTF is going on with the white stripe below the sponsor on the home shirt?

WTF?

lol

Probably the wrong thread, but linked in the way that Alan Brazil is always saying Maiga is already signed. He was talking this morning about how he is always texting Peter Beardsley. I suppose he is the source of all this supposed inside info he claims to have.

What date was AC's last game before his 'injury' pre transfer?

Pedersen took a corner to himself and crossed the ball in and Blackburn scored. It looked at first like Yakubu had put the ball down and brushed it into play before Pedersen came and got it and crossed it in, but he hadn't even touched. The ref turned his back to the action as well so just assumed it had taken place. FFS isnt the assistant meant to watch the taker so its inside the quadrant etc?
