To Kings of Leon, 'Sex On Fire': Wooooooaaaaaahhhhh, temuri kets-baia

One of them refers to our ground as '$old Trafford'. Presumably as a reference to the fact that we've sold the naming rights to the stadium to a Middle Eastern airline. Oh, hang on...

Yes, i suppose that with extremities like the ones you describe then it might make some sense, however bizarre. But if you've been reading the same rumours I have, then 'logical' is hardly how I'd characterise the reaction. More an utterly tragic reflection of the likely press and wider...

I'm not sure there's anything which could mean that decision to take one's own life would be described as 'logical'.

Fiorentina in the group stages of cl (00 I think)? Dimly recall fergie raving about the performance. Although probably a stretch to say bosnich played well - definitely should have done better with the batistuta shot.

Absolutely fabulous I thought. His quickness of thought and sheer energy changed the whole dynamic of the game. And against one of the most powerful midfield's in the pl. Tremendously pleased with him. Almost a little giddy in fact.

I think our comeback against villa has been all but overshadowed by more successful comebacks against Blackpool and west ham. But it was the first time in the season I thought we had it in us to win the league - the team just grabbed the match by the throat and said 'we're not fecking losing...

Kieran Richardson. Managed to combine utter averageness with the largest disproportionately huge fecking ego known to man. Complete nob. I suspect there's an awful lot of tevez revisionism going on in this thread... Probably from people who used to sing 'sign him up' and whatnot.

The 94 team is a hugely underrated side. Basically a 20 goals per season striker away from near perfection.

This. It really isn't close.

I've not seen a better defender than stam at the top of his game. But having said that, I think Vidic has been more consistent over a longer period. There's a brilliant picture which I remember seeing but haven't been able to find of him with his hand round vieira's neck. I think it was the...

By the logic of some in this thread, Clayton Blackmore was the best footballer we've ever had at this club. Not that I necessarily disagree with the specific comparison of welbeck and Hernandez - I really really rate welbeck. But to claim that he's inherently a better footballer simply because...

Is a place. Not a nationality. 'British' as a nationality clearly relates to people from the UK. When doing a 'foreign' XI, the likes of keane, irwin and carey should all be up for consideration. Welsh and scots you might have more of an argument over (what with holding British passports and...

Keane's as British as cantona

As a rule of thumb, anyone who is even half good and not called 'Jonny Evans' is from the Republic. Which is as much a part of Great Britain as France and Germany. I'm sure you could persuade Giggs to come out of retirement for a world cup. And along with Fletcher, that'd probably be it.
