Almost always got pulled around the 60 minute mark. Rooney's is a much better athlete, portly and crimson-faced though he can look when he is breathing hard.

Joint best average score atm

Well, the gamble can be summarised as follows for me: a) Sack him, and risk uncertainty as to whether the replacement will be better or worse b) Don't sack him, and confirm with certainty we will actively try to avoid Europe and winning trophies (and play a thoroughly boring brand of football in the process) I'd roll the dice every fucking time and I've wanted him gone before he got here

None of that would be jammy. if they make the final and beat citeh i might have to give up football like, it'd just be total and utter nonsense Yup, there's just no way back for football if that happens quite frankly.

Excellent

i should've said present company excluded. over here in the USA there are so many plastic MU fans & they're simply flummoxed. I was so angry this morning too after that result and came into work. A girl who knows I support Man United (she claims to as well) said to me, "omg how bad was the Man result." She referred to us as "Man." Took all of my strength not to lay her out with a Stone Cold stunner. I hate Man U as well. She wants you.

Far less impressive than described.

You've fucked up somewhere, Minhosa

From their rules page.

Well, that was an exhausting waste of time

Greyed out and you can't click on it? Might be a new system where you can't use the wildcard after you've made a transfer in a gameweek. Try clicking on the greyed out 'play wildcard' bit.

And on the transfers tab, it doesn't say 'Wildcard Active' next to your team name? If not, I don't think you've activated your January wildcard.

Did you use your non-January wildcard?

If you go to 'pick team', it should now say Wildcard 'Active' and Gameweek Transfers '0' in the bottom right hand pane- otherwise I've fucked you out of using your wildcard later.

I think you misunderstood my post. Even having clicked 'confirmed changes' or whatever, if you now click 'play wildcard' on the transfers page - there will be no points hit for this gameweek.

You and your forum bets

If you click play wildcard now, the changes will retrospectively be considered wildcard changes and there'll be no points hit (I'm fairly sure).

They're right. It was definitely Portsmouth's cup win (two seasons previous) that sent them down. Nothing else. Newcastle winning a cup would get us in Europe = disaster... for a mackem.

...and Debuchy is suspended.

Podolski will get more games. Considering bringing him in.

Good post.

Oh I remember that now, think Tiote did catch him enough to stop him - can't recall how much of a meal he made of it though. Think it was a fair whack, but maybe I'm lying to myself because Walcott always seemed like a relatively good apple to me.

Cazorla was being an uber-dick in that game, though I can't remember Walcott being the same - not that I disbelieve you (I just don't remember it). Quite complimentary to Tiote really.
