Eddie

Didn't he start a game for Southampton and was substituted after about 20 minutes? Might be wrong, but that is always what I've thought. Good post overall AESF but you're a bit hard on a couple of Souness signings. Dwight Yorke was very good the first season he was here and really thing went south when he and Souness seemed to have a few problems. For the price he came in at you could say that the results of the first season pretty much justified it, I think most of us were excited when he signed, I certainly was. Amoruso will never escape the fact that he was a member of a horrible team and an even worse defence. However, at times he was the only one who looked halfway decent and was a major part of the improvement in our form that saw us stay up. Not a great player, but for 1.3 million not that awful of a buy, I think he was a bit hard done by. Now for the most controversial one, Barry Ferguson. From where we are now it was a horrible waste of money, but back in December of last year I think most Rovers fans were starting to think he may just have been worth it. The fact that he then sold us up the river in late January could never have been predicted.

He played as a wingback in the dutch league. He can play both at the back and in midfield but prefers to play in midfield, it was his reason given for joining us over Newcastle.

O2 is about all I can think of.

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.
