Heaven knows he's miserable now....

As it happens I think we have been lucky with transfers, in the sense that no matter how good your network, you're always going to get a few duffers a la Obertan. As it happens we've had hardly any, and some have worked out better and more quickly than perhaps we had a right to expect. Which is brilliant.

And when did they do that?

The fact they're all good lads isn't by accident. I'm sure I read that the club scouts players over the long term and part of the process is checking out their character, work ethic and team fit. In other words we're signing players looking at the whole package, not just their playing ability. Makes perfect sense therefore that we haven't got a load of prima donna arseholes. Add to that they're mostly young, hungry for success and ambitious, and it explains why we got talented grafters who play for the shirt rather than work shy mercenaries who spend most of their time on the treatment table.

I presume he's referring to the fact that Lineker is a serial shagger, which has been common knowledge for years. Erm, allegedly.

Utterly small time. And badly dressed too by the looks of it.

I've reported myself

Oh, much better than Shane.....

Umm bongo

Sounds like a euphemism......

Criminal that Ferguson didn't get on.......

I'm not predicting points/places as I'm totally shit at it. I hope we can stay in the top 6 but it'll be a tough ask imo. A lot will ride on the close season ins & outs, whether our fringe players can step up more and good old fashioned luck. We were unlucky with Taylor's injury but otherwise I think we generally did pretty well on the injury/suspension front. Not sure we can expect the same again.

Neil Warnock's parting gift to Sparky, a nutter on a long term contract. Maybe they'll loan him to Qatar instead.....

Maybe the same Qatari outfit that took Gyan. Maybe Barton will raise his hand to an Arab and they'll cut it off as a punishment. There, that'll teach you Joey Barton.

I think it's just average by their standards. Letting an 8 point lead slip is very...well, un-Man Utd like.....it seemed more like they threw it away towards the end

are you whispering that? says on the BBC that he's set for talks with the Villa Board today on the season. Doesn't bode well for him and rightly so. For his sake I hope his opening gambit in response to the question "So how do you think it went?" isn't "Well it wasnae all that bad".....

Well he is psychic, it was hardly a fair contest

He obviously doesn't consider that admitting trying to get another player sent off might not go down well with FA. Hope he gets a longer ban as a result

Glad we got shot of him now. Questioned it at the time but good decision in retrospect

or maybe the players have put in a titanic shift in the last couple of weeks and thia was one away game too many? admit I havent seen the game yet

Everton's a tough place to go when they're on a roll. Never mind. I'd have taken 5th and EL if it was on offer at the beginning of the season tbh.

This. It's ancient history for us, why rake over it yet again?

If a team like PSG come in for him, isn't it possible he'll elect to leave whether or not he's in his preferred position? iirc he's from Paris, I assume they're in the CL and could offer him big wages. I don't think we should assume he can't get his head turned

Bloody OOTs
