With Bolton playing Wigan and Man City playing Everton this weekend we could really do our position a lot of good if we win this weekend regardless of what the other results are.

Just a note on the Birmingham game from last night: I thought Johnson's tackle was quite poor and deserved a red card, not sure why everyone thinks that jumping in with two feet isnt a poor tackle.

Please don't encourage JM to be more of a prat than he already is.

I think Steve Howey just said "doesn't mean ######" on SSN, did I hear that incorrectly?

Sorry Jan, but if you honestly believe that then you are an idiot. I can understand Souness being unpopular, he didn't do a good job, but to hope that he or any member of his family die is ridiculous. I care about our football club as much as anyone and the memories of sitting here last night and physically shaking while we held on to that 4-3 lead is very fresh in my mind, however, football is football and no one deserves to die because of it.

Why would he leave us for them?

That would be perfect.

Doesn't look too bad in my opinion, but maybe they'll slightly modify their logo for the purpose of being put on the shirt anyway.

I heard that too but it just made me think that he was worried about his match fitness.

I don't think this is great for us, he was doing a poor job and that was wonderful. This season they are too far behind us to catch us really, but it was nice if things had stayed how they are and we wouldn't have to worry.

A nice little report

Usually in the morning at 8:30 I think. Not sure if it is the same on this one though.

1-1 (Saha)

Great preview Colin and a real coup.

Thompson just scored an own goal for Wigan.

Didn't we then have to pay a similar figure to the Welsh FA?

Is there really any point in asking? The more important question is will we be wearing this shirt before the world cup in South Africa. Like the new shirts and I will certainly buy both if the red away shirt wins. I'll be really interested to see what they end up looking like in real life.

I think you've already done it...you'll probably get quite a bit of change as well...maybe as much as £40.

Second one for home and red away...look good to me.

Mishit...fine line between genius and fluke a lot of the time...that was a fluke. Friedel would have had a better chance of saving it had he hit it cleanly.

My dad is a lifelong united fan and he very rarely has any sympathy, but after he had watched the game in Paris and I'd watched it over here in Guildford this morning he told me on the phone that "there was no way you could have won that game with that ref"...says it all really.

I don't think the Ferdinand handball was a penalty. However, if what Zurab did was a penatly then Ferdidnand's certainly was, that's my problem with it. Neither should have been given.

Must add that Bentley impressed me, needed someone alongside him to help out though. Kuqi simply can't be effective without someone like Bellamy, if there's pace and movement around him then he can do a job, if he doesn't have that then he can't, simple as really. Also must say that Emerton really looked good when he came on. He was positive and ran at United, perhaps he should have been on earlier. Good to see.

We really didn't create much, Friedel was in great form and saved us. Unlucky bounce for Gray for the first goal and Tugay should have passed the ball earlier for the second, but even so the boys did us proud. I didn't feel like we were outclassed and thought we could get back into it. Well done boys, unlucky in a way but we didn't deserve to go through. Now let's get on with climbing the league and I'll be hoping United stuff Wigan in the final.

I'm just saying if the emphasis is on a British manager I think it is really an emphasis on an English manager. If they don't care about him being English then I don't think Hughes is the best man for the job, Hiddink is.
