I'd fancy our chances against Chelsea or Arsenal (no offence Hull). At least to give them good games. I just can't see us getting past Man Utd. The former 2 sides of shown weaknesses this season; whilst even if Ronaldo, Rooney etc had an off day, we have that defence to try and get past, not to mention the 3 or 4 other match-winners they have in their side.

FT, get in!

The question is, do you risk playing Martins because he looks dangerous? Ultimately if both are fit, Owen imo will do more damage because he's more intelligent.

Our positioning wasn't what it could have been, perhaps.

So do I but look at any major league. Exactly the same.

Blatter in anti-Premiership shocker.

Just to say, I'm not fussed what time it is really; I'm happy with whatever's easiest for the majority

Do you play for a Uni team yourself?

Was tried against Coventry and he sucked. That's far too responsive. Keep doing it for 6 more games, THEN realise it's not working, then do something about it. [/vaguejibe]

Is it worth giving him a try in the middle, perhaps in the 'hole' (cringe), behind Martins?

Is he? What I see is a player who is used extremely well by Ferguson, in matches and indeed positions where his work rate and industry is required. Perhaps he is an unsung hero, but I wouldn't say hes one of the first on the teamsheet. That said, it's hard to pick Man United's strongest midfield, such is the wealth of options they have

A very good defender who is made to look better than he is by having the team he does around him. Especially Vidic.

Same. Think we might need to beat them at Villa Park though.

Pompey, I think.

Utter daylight robbery, Fulham pummelled Hull for 90% of the match.

Oh my word. Hull score.

We've played s**t for a few games now, absolutely awful. aye i know but this time i want your mob to win. Without Arteta your no better than the rest of the crap in the league. We're better than most due to our defensive resilience. Offensively we're abysmal.

From what I heard Man Utd deserved to win but were made to work hard through a spirited effort by Newcastle.

We've played s**t for a few games now, absolutely awful.

Villa 2 down. If only we can get a winner, then the pressure will really be cranked up on them.

Not world class no but I'd have him in a flash at Everton.

It wasn't either of the Talyors at fault for the 2nd goal. It was Nicky Butt

In fairness, Boro are getting trounced, Pompey and West Brom both got beat last night, Blackburn drawing.

I don't know why our game is on TV, such games as home to Boro, home to West Brom, tonight. I don't know what Sky are playing at. Thought Newcastle Man Utd would have been miles ahead when choosing the games.
