Not could be, definitely will be.....The noises have already started emanating which will lead to Fellaini's departure.

He will be followed by Rodwell's sale to Old Trafford, and then inevitably Heitinga and Baines leaving for more ambitious sides.....Moyes, if he has any ambition will follow, leaving the club in a real mess.

At the moment, I just pray they are still in the Premier League come August, because, if not, we are another Sheffield Wednesday waiting to happen, big club, lots of fans, no money, no idea....

Fellaini's injury has probably come at the right time for us. Rodwell to United is one I'm not sure will happen unless he actually puts some performances in. He's been in and out of the side for a couple of years now and needs settled football before they would commit IMO.

Rodwell to United is nailed on unfortunately.....As for Feilaini, his dad is currently slating Everton something rotten, which indicates all is not well in the relationship between club and player...Its definitely the first move by the player's reps to instigate a summer move.

I dislike Wilshere as much as the next guy but he was spot on about Ferguson.

Whether or not Ferguson is an idiot, you shouldn't really go onto a public domain and start criticising fellow pros like Wilshere did. I certainly think he's a talent, but wow he's got alot to learn about respect, and being a decent person. He won't learn that at Arsenal though IMO.

Then again, he's nothing on Neil Lennon, that guy is an absolute prat

On a good note, i was having a discussion at work today with a few lads, and i popped the question ''what is the best football match you have watched (in it's entirity, not highlights etc), that has not included a team that you support. There a various levels of knowledge amongst my colleagues, some are quite insular in terms of ''don't watch any games that don't involve my team'' etc. My shout was the World Cup Semi-Final in 2006 between Germany and Italy. Surprising choice perhaps in the way that it was goalless for 119 minutes, but it was an absolute belter of a match. Second choice was Spurs 3 Man City 4 in the 03-04 FA Cup, Spurs 3-0 at half time, City win 4-3.

The floor is yours.....

Depends, really, Rodwell's in-and-out season has meant his stock has sort of dropped. United seem not to care about form when signing players, instead looking purely at the ability. Take signings Bebe, Smalling and Obertan as a pretty good example of this. They'll have identified Rodwell a long time ago, if his price has become realistic, United will more than likely snap him up.

Brazil v Italy, World Cup 1982, 3-2 to Paolo Rossi!!.....France v West Germany, World Cup 1982, 3-3 thriller, made even more unforgettable with Schmaccher's incredible assault on the French centre forward which changed the course of the semi final........Maybe its childhood innocence, but back then World Cups just seemed so much more entertaining and exciting....Maybe our over-exposure to foreign footballers has dulled our love of the international game, and back then there was almost a mystique to seeing the World's best go head to head?

Think the 4-3 Liverpool/ Newcastle game would be the one for me ( the one with Collymore scoring the winner and Keegan hanging his head over the ad hoarding )

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sat Mar 05, 2011 11:17 am  

Best game I've seen my team in was 2001-02. Leeds vs Liverpool 4-3. Liverpool were 2-0 up in first 10 minutes and Viduka scored 4. Best game he ever played.

Apart from that Liverpool vs Newcastle 4-3 was a classic, England vs Holland 4-1 at Euro 96 was the best England performance I've seen and England vs Germany 5-1 in Munich was special

FIFA ban snoods.

Hopefully gloves and non-black boots to follow.

What's wrong with colourful boots?
