Nobody

Bye bye, Shola, about time! Hope this allows us to sign a replacement!

"It's the best contract the club has ever offered..." So, say that they've actually got a club insider (which I don't believe for a second that they do), all they would know is that the new deal would be better than the old one, which could mean £115k for all we/they know.

I love that run

I'm not expecting Bolton to be attacking too much, and I think we could need the added creativity of Zoggy if they come with the same mentality as last season.

Really can't wait for this now, even though I won't be watching nor listening to it! Given Beye Taylor Coloccini N'Zogbia Milner Guthrie Butt Jonas Duff Martins Bassong or Cacapa in for Taylor if he's not fit enough and Owen in for Milner or Duff should be fit enough, or play him in the last 30 minutes or so. Is it too much to ask for a win with a clean-sheet?

We need to have Martins and Owen playing together as much as possible IMO. They are both a constant threat to the opposition, although in two different ways, Martins with his pace and unpredictability and Owen with his awareness, runs and finishing.

There was one of the papers that did an interactive thing like that of the game, telling you running distances, speed, where the playw as focussed etc. It was either the telegraph or the Guardian but Ic an't findit now. Ok. Cheers. I will try to make a new serch and see if i can find anything. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/2576015/Manchester-United-lack-fire-power-as-Newcastle-earn-point---Football.html EDIT: No distance covered there though

Aye, by this time last year we were top of the table

Definitely worth a punt!

Nope, it'll be better

If we are going to continue to make signings like Colo, Guthrie and Jonas, I couldn't care less if Keegan wasn't involved in the slightest.

Michael Owen, the man who is going to replace Duff and make us into a much better team.

Fucking hell. Ok. Wouldn't be too worried if we sold him after this season if he's been this good. We would have made the business of the century, got him for what could be close to fuck all and then sell him on for some 20 million pounds.

Good point! Was saying at around 70 minutes that I was sure Smith would come on. Chuffed that he didn't

What did he say?

This

Fucking immense today, IMO.

Butt MOTM? mackems.gif Guthrie, Jonas or Shay, no doubt.

Fucking brilliant! Guthrie was immense, IMO, such a neat passer and great technique. Jonas, as has been mentioned, was also terrific, he looks like pure quality. Colo looked a bit shaky at the start, but got better as the match went on, once he settles and learns a bit of English, he'll probably be a top defender for us. Butt was terrible, IMO, he caused at least two very dangerous opportunities for them, very lucky to get away with not losing the game for us. Zoggy needs to not be played LB too, especially not against ManU away, I can see the thinking in playing him at LB against lesser teams though. Given was superb too, kept us in the game a few times.

Jonas Gutierez

Come on lads! Difficult, aye, but not impossible!

Pretty much this. Can't wait to get the new season started, but I won't be nervous til the Bolton-game.

Happy with that XI, especially with Martins and Duff. Hopefully it means that Owen and Martins gets a chance when they're both fit

Needs to be added as a smiley! Nice to see the penguin back again, Kasper!
