I dont suppose you want to comment on this do you ikthius - you've been a bit quiet this week ? Thompsons tackle was outrageous and what was Lennon (aka Ginger snap) thinking?

true but that was from winger to striker which is abit different than striker to holding midfielder

Keane was never a Makelele, neither will Smith be one.

Fluctuating at the moment i bet - tough call - the thing is if they keep playing like they are - who knows? Everyone keeps banging on about having to beat Celitc and Rangers though, but both those teams have dropped points recently to other teams and Hearts havent.

Early days yet though - when winter sets in and a few players pick up injuries then who knows what will happen.

Paddy Power will give you 15/2, Ladbrokes are pretty much the same at 7/1

Best prices are from Bet365 at 10/1 and Premier bet at 11/1

well, I don't think thompson's tackle was that bad, it happens in most games, but worthy of a yellow. because thompson has lost his game, it makes it worse.

Lennon, should know better, he is the captain, I hope he gets it taken away from him, silly boy.

And another one slips through the net

According to This Everton failed in a bid to sign Michael Owen.

I mean, Accrington Stanley have more chance.

I would disagree with that - when i first saw the tackle, i thought that it was a yellow and not a red, but then i looked at the replays and you can clearly see that he was very late and could have inflicted serious injury.

IMO a red, and nobody on CrapSport SPL disagreed either.

That cost you the game too i think.

'Fergie in Man Utd fans row
Sir Alex Ferguson was reportedly involved in an airport row with two Man United fans in Budapest who accused him of "selling out" over Malcolm Glazer

The two fans first abused chief executive David Gill and then turned on Fergie, saying: "You've f***** us over too, you could've spoken out about it."

Sir Alex replied: "I've got close friends who've been working with me here for 15 years. They come first in all of this."

Fan: "So don't the fans come first?"

Fergie: "Well I suppose they do come somewhere."

Fan: "You what? That's well out of order."

Sir Alex: "If you don't like it, go and watch Chelsea."

Fan: "The fans have been screwed right over. It costs me over £20 a game as it is."

Sir Alex: "It costs more than that at Chelsea - go and watch them."
