He doesn't suit that long ball football Chelsea play Clive

Not sure he knows what a ball is. He swings at shins.

Apparently only Wolves, Birmingham and Scunthorpe in the top two divisions are not in Debt

Good piece by David Conn on Utd's debt on the Guardian site.

Edit: repost - just saw Damo got there first.

my mate in manchester used to play football with David Conn. He's ace. David Conn. not my mate. who is ace as well. but. hang on, this is getting out of hand.
anyway, David Conn. Sits in the middle of the pitch, wins all the headers (short bloke as well), then plays the simple ball.

Sav = a cunt when playing against you. great to have on your team.
though i think we covered this a couple of pages back, when we also discussed chippy scottish strikers, dennis wise and a n other.

also, Scott Parker = quite good.

Come on Reading, end Liverpool's season before January is out.

gets earlier every year.
is it part of the global climate change?

well. fuck me.
Derby in better than Liverpool shock.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I thought the Kop were meant to suck the ball into the net ?

reading played well !!

How can we beat Man U but not Reading....I was a long term Rafa defender...note the WAS...when can we get Mourinho in?

i say write off this season and move on to next ....

give rafa money over the summer few new crap players in then sack him as soon as we have lost our second game next season

he got us to second only a few points behind manure last season he can do it again

Mourinho won't got to Liverpool.

Well played Liverpool last night. I'm just waiting for Rafa to come out with some balls about how they are concentrating on another cup... oh wait there are no other cups.

Mourinho won't got to Liverpool.

I think if theres some more money he will, if he can get the same contract as rafa (where he can buy whoever he wants)
he's always talking about coming back to england. unless man city get him.

Furious tim and I were discussing this at souths. He won't go to city or Liverpool. He'll go to utd when taggart gives up. Then Liverpool will get shat on for another 20 years.

he won't go UTD.

UTD are also fucked

@ The Kopites: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

If it wasn't for the financial restrictions in place and a 4 year contract, Benitez wouldn't have seen Christmas at Liverpool. As this season is another write off, he'll be able to finish the season and if he doesn't manage to get 4th place he should do the honourable thing and walk the plank.
Martin O'Neill could be the right man for the job.

Mate, Stick these on the footy thread for the Kopite whoppers! ;]

he won't go UTD.

UTD are also fucked

Correct. We are watching what I believe to be a power shift in English football, Liverpool may well be rescued by someone else buying them, United will be a basket case for a good few years .

If Mourinho goes anywhere it's likely to be Tottenham (if Harry gets his comeuppance from HMRC), or Arsenal if Wenger calls it a day and Kroenke takes over.

er, i wouldn't count your chickens too soon.
what with Dubai being fucked as well.

Mourinho is not a dynasty manager.
