The majority of Manchester United fans seem to think he's worth keeping... http://www.redcafe.net/showthread.php?t=148610

Nugent on.

The fact they only have one professional player suggests lower.

Oh. Dyer coming on. Gerrard scores.

Is he out of contract or do you think he's shit?

How much will Healy cost in the Summer?

Embarrassing. No doubt we'll win it 1, 2 or even 3-0, but McClaren really needs to go now or we may as well write off the entire campaign. Can you imagine him coming up against the likes of Scolari in a major championship?

Wales 1-0 San Marino. Ryan Giggs. Northern Ireland 0-1 Sweden. Elmander.

Wales 1-0 San Marino. Ryan Giggs.

Republic of Ireland 1-0 Slovakia. Kevin Doyle. Italy 1-0 Scotland. Luca Toni.

I like Downing

Hargreaves was excellent against Andorra last time around and won't it be Dyer & Lennon on the wings anyway?

...and Lampard is out with a fractured wrist.

Shearer backs Rooney to find form. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/6500745.stm

Hargreaves was rather surplus to requirements, with Israel posing no attacking threat whatsoever. I would have probaly dropped Lampard and played them both. In the long term, i'd like to see England adopt a 4-3-3 formation: Foster G.Neville Woodgate Terry A.Cole Hargreaves Gerrard J.Cole Lennon Owen Rooney Not much width in midfield, but Neville & Cole aren't exactly shy in getting forward.

Martins' goals have 'won' us 11 points this season, but it's not really that simple. Scoring goals is what he's in the team to do, would you count every crucial save Given has made in points too? Nicky Butt, for me.

...a performance that the team selection deserved, so far.

It's ok. Although, I would have prefered to have kept our current Northern Rock logo in the blue used to trim the collar. The black/white/pink rectangle is ugly.

Nicky Shorey would be significantly cheaper than Bale & Baines, i imagine. He's impressed this season.

Do you honestly think Butt is rash in challenges compared to Parker? I still can't see the argument for playing Parker & Emre; regardless of your opinion on our midfielders individually, the partnership of Butt & Emre has consistently performed better than any we've fielded including the captain.

I'd rather play Edgar than Onyewu, admittedly based on very few performances.

Did you have to? What's wrong with him asking for your opinion on our worst season in the Premiership (recent times), which he cleary states in the first post?

So, do goals against lesser opposition not count anymore? Oba's on about 6 if that's the case.
