Good results so far in other games. As it stands we're in the play offs and losing at the weekend.

FFS I basically subbed him

Any chance BBD could get another 4 this game. My car needs a new bumper

Defensively James, Going forward Trent. For England I'd put James in over trent

Everyone keeps saying "Roanldo has saved them many times, imagine where they'd be without him" I think as good a player as he is, he was a bad signing from a footballing point of view. Ole had a way he wanted to play and Ronaldo doesn't fit into that. But Ronaldo has to start every game and therefore you either have to play a player in a system that doesn't work for him or change the way you want to play. The arrival of Ronaldo probably upset the apple cart a little bit, imagine what cavani and sancho were thinking. Then there's the sulking after the first bad result which got magnified by the media and instantly there was a bad atmosphere around Ole .

Apparently SAF leading the charge for poch. He was also apparently instrumental in bringing Ronaldo back. Me thinks it may be best if fergie kept his big red nose out of it.

Remind me? I've lost track of their comings and goings. I was under the impression he'd largely built a decent squad. Using that squad effectively (leaving van de beck and sancho out for example) is a different question mind but the 25 is good isn't it?

In his defence until this season he's done the best job at utd since fergie left. 3rd and 2nd place in the last two seasons. Then he got given a squad which should push on and he just looked incapable of taking them to the next level and now the wheels have come off.

If Ole ain't gone in the next couple of days the FA surely need to investigate whether Liverpool have planted staff into the United executive team.

I don't think you can replace Kane like for like but we have the attacking talent to maybe play slightly differently and still score goals.

Proud winners of the 0-0 at Wembley trophy.

3-4-3 is just a sexier way of saying 5-2-3

Spain Germany Italy and France are all in the same boat

Is this one not a bit harsh? Qualified for the champions league with a youth team. There's key players of that Chelsea squad who'd be nothing without Frank, Mount and James for starters. Got Tammy banging them as well before he dropped off under the new manager

If he's suspended, get him on a plane now so he's ready to knock another 7 goals in

Gerrard to Villa I think is a decent move for him. Little chance of going down, massive scope to improve and not unrealistic expectations from fans? (May be wrong) Lampard to Norwhich on the other hand? Why would you put a guaranteed relegation on your CV?

I've not seen a wagon wheel since the 90s.

Whilst we're on the topic of food portions being smaller than they should be, I've just got back from Subway and their definition of what six inches looks like is very similar to what I tell the missus

I think it's the right sort of club for him to be coming in at, I hope he hasn't switched too early. Would finishing this season and getting another trophy or two under his belt benefited him? Still when a good opportunity comes along it's hard to turn down. I really hope he is successful.

For Jones it would have to be on a deal where utd pay all / most of his wages but I think they'd get a better offer elsewhere. We can't afford to be paying wages for someone who might spend a lot of time in the physio room. What are the odds we'd get him and ayala on the pitch at the same time? If it was financially risk free, snap him up. If we can get him playing regularly it could be a decent move but I just don't see it happening.

Newcastle bemuse me. Big money takeover and there's talk of them ruling the world and being the dominant force in English football so they appoint Eddie Howe.... he doesn't fit that brief. OK so they've also claimed that they need a stepping stone, someone to tide them over till the summer, keep them up and give them a platform to build from. Does he fit that brief either? I don't think so. In fact, if the requirement is a steady pair of hands to keep them up until summer... Steve Bruce... Big Sam. Not good enough for the mighty toon. GOD I hope they go down. Wrong job for Eddie howe I think. I think he needed to go to an established Premier league club such as a Crystal Palace type club. One that isn't in too much danger of going down but with a bit of tidy football could break the top 10.

I don't because I think we may discover that TM can not only survive death spirals but can survive them when we lose by big margins

Not many of the england boys are hitting a good level thus season after the Euros

Fans can't boo him if there's no fans in the stadium. Maybe that's waggots plan so Tony can do his job uninterrupted.

Christ but I assume he talks to his staff. I bet he's proper awkward whenever he's asked anything "Tony, what's the time?" "as I say, I'm not a clock so I can't be sure" "Tony, can you boil me some water" "there's a certain journey you need to go on and unfortunately I don't have a PHD in chemistry so that's not something I'll be able to do at the moment so we've just got to put it behind us and move on"
