Well, I'm not worried about injuries and form - I just happen to think that Brown is rubbish (and, strangely, my backside agrees with the rest of me

). IMO, Brown has done very little to justify being picked for the squad but, by the same token, I don't think Hargreaves deserves to be there either...

EDIT: And I think you'll find that, when I'm on here, I'm talking out of my fingers

would rather take King over Campbell

Brown is quality and has been our best defender over the season.. he wasn't great when he made the side a few years ago but has got better and better

Cole and Bridge have been injured all season as are Rooney and Owen

only one player has come back from a metatarsal injury early and that was Beckham who was never fit and jumped out of the way of the ball

can't see Rooney even making the final so Defoe should be going as should AJ

how many games as Theo played for Southampton ? he's never played against a top quality world class player

he's the same as Pennant was a few years ago and look where he is now

Come on Theo is a lot better prospect than Pennant, some of the goals he scored for Southampton were top draw. Agree with you about Defoe though, possibly instead of Hargreaves, it looks like we have far to many midfielders.

I agree with both yourself and sherer - we should have King in instead of Campbell, and Defoe in instead of Hargreaves, which would give us more options up front, and better cover for the defence (bearing in mind that King makes a very good defensive midfielder if required).

Still think Brown's rubbish though

King is still injured. Guess Sven didn't want to take any more injured players.

I thought that to, but when you are taking as many injured players as he is would one more make any difference.

It has now become obvious why you follow Villa

For me Wes Brown has been one, if not the most consistant player for United this season, but I don't suppose you get to see them that often.

But of course you are entitled to your opinion

Just seen London Tonight Spurs are considering legal action against The Marriott Hotel and the Premier League over the food poisoning incident. Apparently The Marriott Hotel are also investigating to see if the team was 'nobbled' either by an Arsenal fan or by shady characters involved in far eastern betting syndicates.

I wasnt near them! I swear

Seriously though. I hope if it was intentional it was not a Arsenal fan.

Although I think Marriott should check themselves to see if it was them who messed up the food.

10m if he was few years younger yes, paying anything above couple of a million for someone over 29 is a ripoff.

I support my local club of course Leics City.

---------- Post added at 21:30 ---------- Previous post was at 21:28 ----------

Hargreaves plays in germany so it makes sense he is going. What did surprise me is the striker selection. 4 strikers with only 1 fully fit, 1 more partially fit, 1 who hasnt played a game since january and another who is unlikely to be fit. Joe Cole apperently might be used up front if needed. I suspect they got walcott to maybe be a supersub if needed.

iadom · 08-05-2006, 22:06

I do so hope that Watford can do the business in Cardiff ( sorry Palace) we do not need these animals or their loutish supporters back in the Premiership.

Leeds beat Preston 2-0 but get 8 yellow cards and 2 red.

gazzae · 08-05-2006, 22:13

To be fair the two players that got sent off each got a yellow for kicking the ball away.

They just refused to accept that their dreams were flushed down the toilet. The whole affair makes me sick to be honest, then again, let's not get too bogged down discussing it all. I suppose the HSE, Met and the relevant lawyers will get down to digesting the evidence before deciding where to bring up the decision.

On another note. No Marlon

and Theo ficking Walcott who has done WHAT?
