Slag him off all you like but anyone who thinks ashley will be pleased with this outcome cannot be serious. His plan is all coming together. f***ing hell. So the man has to burst into tears every time we lose? No ones suggesting that, but it doesnt mean he has to laugh and joke moments after we've been f***ed by Arsenal either. Especially considering what it means.

I,m sorry to say but I agree with this, and would add that Nolan is no better just slightly more aggressive and petulant.

I only hope they have had sunderlands forsight to write in massive wage reduction clauses into the players contracts for relegation. Bcause they are going to need to invoke it.

dead right.

"joining United from Newcastle" pass the bag I,m going to puke.

Dont forget how hard it must be to be the last line of defence in a crap team. Imagine having our lethargic midfield in front of you against top class opposition. It must be soul destroying for a besieged defence. Its a team game and IMO collocini is a fine team player who does not hide or shirk his role in it. He would look different again in a side dominating play IMO.

Butt and Geremi in the engine room. Owen not match fit. This is not going to go well against a hard working hull. Im off to the gym to avoid it.

We will need to show this with legs and stamina to match because they will not be short in that department.

An essential prerequisite of the top league is to have top athletes in the team who can swarm all over the opposition. Hull will do this on Saturday. Our policy of ensuring that the side has its percentage of has beens present will ensure once again that we will struggle despite mediocre opposition.

The Duke! The Stump more like, along with Methusala (geremi) in midfield we will seem to be playing with 9 men. Hopefully this season will be the very last where this club throws large contracts at has beens. This is what has been at the heart of the demise of the club IMO.

Ive had £60 at Corals on the mancs (dont call them United please olliemort) 1 to 2 on. Might as well win £30 out of the debacle to come on wednesday, it dulls the pain a bit.

To cut a long story short, IMO Shola has all the requisite skill but is too slow and always seems too tired to keep going for 90 minutes. Players slow with age and we definitely have too many of them, but Shola should be at his peak at the age he is now.

Exactly, our midfield is the achilles heel of the side and the the opposition runners through our sieve like midfield throw the defence out of sync as they have to come out to meet the threat.

True - but what does that make us ? You know that Bolton is just a part of the Greater Manchester conurbation. How easy would it be for them just to jump on the Man U bandwagon as legitimate fans from Manchester. Respect is due to all loyal Bolton fans

No we dont, nor Geremi or Viduka. Your avatar is pointing the way, get some younguns in.

Father Teds 5 a side team of ancient footballers springs to mind with this story.

Venables ! Surely hes a cockney. Hes also been involved in shady dealings in the past, so will no doubt have mafia links aswell.

Who is going to provide our legs in midfield? I cannot think of the two or three we need with the workrate to carry the game to Everton.

He was a special guest at our school fete and drew my ticket out at a raffle to win a massive xmas hamper a few years ago so I can,t fault the bloke.

Not Butt

Funny how everyone sees things differently, IMO Duff was easily our most influential player today and Butt the least. WBA were very poor and mistake prone. Our central midfield pairing of Butt and Nolan in no way have the mobility to survive together as a pairing in the premier league. Against anyone else they would have been taken to the cleaners. Butt is surely finished at this level if todays performance is anything to go by. A pleasing result however in the circumstances.

Ted Legge.

So he is moaning because it would have suited him if the board just wanted to get shot of him. But they didnt want him to go and so and made him put his request to leave in writing. They have then tried to get as much as poss for him after failing to get him to stay. Because that stalled the move and stopped him going in a flash he is bad mouthing the club. The club should have been stronger and told him to shut the fuck up and keep scraping along on his 35K a week until summer to keep us up. Postscript: What are Man city going to win this season. Answer, Fuck all.

I.m mad at him and the club. He should have been told he could go in the summer after we had secured our premiership status.

40 quid a ticket. Thats taking the piss.
