I wouldn't have Duncan in a dirtiest 11 He didn't use his elbows in a sly way or make dangerous high tackles or jump in over the ball. He'd just blatantly dig you or give you a slap if you pissed him off. One for the psycopath 11 rather than the dirty 11.

Is that really true? I've been setting the queston "What's the biggest city in England never to have had a top flight club?" and giving out Hull as an answer. Think it is true yeah, I'm not 100% though. Might just be that they haven't played in the top flight for donkeys years. So your question could still be right
-
Watford, West Brom for the automatic spots. Stoke in the playoffs probably. Would like Bristol City to come up, mad that such a big city has never had a top flight club. Can't see them going the distance though.
-
Bakke clotheslined him. btw, it's Kevin Ratcliffe who says "Ja-jelka". Really annoying. He always calls Victor Anichebe "Anchovie" as well.
-
Kenwynne Jones is not realistic. I think Niall Quinn would rather eat shit than sell him to Newcastle.
-
Crazy decision imo. He quite clearly decked him.
-
I know, I'm shocked by these allegations.
-
It's usually a 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1, whatever you want to call it, with Cahill furthest forward We have Arteta and Pienaar on the flanks with Carsley in a deep defensive role and Osman or Fernandes making up the numbers in the middle, I suppose he could have competed with them for a place too.

gazza ladra & 1878 Well, I have to say you were spot on. Although I'm still surprised a West African team never won the tournament. I also don't think anyone would have predicted Cameroon to get furthest out of the West African countries... Ghana and Ivory Coast were everybody's picks and they both underperformed. Spurs_from_Africa- that's interesting about Aboutreika then but I don't see where he would fit into the team unless he would have only been coming as cover for Cahill.

Yak won't go AWOL. Moyes would give him a serious beatdown. AYE!!! Well, I didn't think anyone could be so stupid. Moyes is the only man in football who ever stood up to Duncan Ferguson so there was no chance Yakubu would getaway with acting the goat. Where did you get that from? I've never even heard us linked with him, nevermind make an offer.

Has there ever been a more boring series of matches than Benitez's Liverpool vs Chelsea They are always tedious as fuck
-
Chelsea better not slip up here
-
How is criticising his decisions in one match writing him off? He made a massive f*** up today with his arrogant approach to the game and deserves a bit of stick for it. I'd be livid if I was a United fan. But your not, so be happy I'd rather City had lost though, better for Everton

Ferguson's tactics have been absolutely shite. How can you start a derby with no defensive midfielder? Anderson & Scholes against a midfield five was never, ever going to work. What an arrogant nobhead.
-
He just looks beleaguered to me everytime I see him. I think the stress and pressure will get to him big time unfortunately. Still think you should have given Allardyce until the summer and some proper money to spend in Jan then reviewed the situation.

Yeah. It's nothing to do with promoting the sport or the league. Lets face it, it doesn't need promotion whatsoever. Football is the most popular sport in the world and the Premier League is the most popular football league in the world. It doesn't get any better than that. I can understand the NFL holding games abroad because outside of North America hardly any fucker watches it apart from the Superbowl once a year.
-
Mine was Man Utd champions by a point
-
I suppose you could scrap the League Cup as it is now and make it Premiership teams only with all the games played on neutral foreign grounds. I still wouldn't be happy with that but it would be a damn site better than fucking the whole 38 game league system up.
-
Even aside from my dislike of the whole concept of playing games abroad, I still don't see how this particular idea would work. How can it be that you play one team 3 times and every other team twice? Imagine losing out on a European place or getting relegated because you had to play Man Utd 3 times and your competitors only had to play Derby County 3 times.

re: Carrick Man Utd have signed an 18 year old Brazilian defensive midfielder. Slipped under the radar a bit this transfer but he's got a squad number. Might hint that Ferguson doesn't see Carrick as the long term holding player and Hargreaves is already ahead of him in the short to medium term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_Possebon

Possibly. On the other hand it also means more chances for young lads to make the breakthrough to the first team squad.
-
Our CEO Keith Wyness and Birmingham's David Gold have both come out with very positive comments on this. Coincidently, two of the most abhorrent twats in football.

Seeding for league matches? I hope that's a fucking joke
