And they did what they had to do when they were called upon.

I think they deserve a Premier League winner's medal.

True enough. But let`s just say that it was 1 game, and Fergie decided to play the Wellbecks and Simpsons and Dongs in a last game, I mean who would care? It`s a happy moment for everyone involved, and if you`re in the squad you get your medal. I think it would be a nice thing, the young lads would feel even closer to the squad and what not.


Anyhow, ten games is too much. Five should be tops, and three would be more suitable, IMO.
