O'Shea was exceptional in 2002/03 at LB. The next year when he was the incumbent starter he sucked balls. It was the following year when Heinze arrived that O'Shea began to get shuffled around but he had already regressed.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Thank you for helping my argument. That's why I don't want Evans shuffled about because he truly does have a genuine shot of being an United regular.
O'Shea to be fair was never a gleaming prospect that Evans is. He just had a really freak season when he turned 22 and broke into the United side.
It appears to me that the London FA thinks we have begun to put too much pressure on their Chelsea and Liverpool.
O'Shea was too a top prospect in 2001/02.
Evans has a good chance at being a regular if he sticks around a few years.
Was a bit more than shoving tbf.
O'Shea was never really considered a top prospect before that season, which was what I said. He had a Michael Ricketts-like freak season when he broke in and cemented his place in the squad. But before then he was always just an average prospect and never had the same potential that Evans has.
feck sake!
feck off and die, Barwick and your cockney ABU lot.
United should have their linescrew start shit with Chelsea players this year
So let me get this right. A Sheffield United player savagely elbows an opponent having looked in his direction first, with both feet planted on the floor, and his first instinct after clattering and smashing his skull is to complain to the referee, that's not even worthy of a second look according to the FA. Compare that then to Evra pushing a groundsman in the chest, after he made an alleged racial slur that apparently can't be proven, and he recieves a 4 games ban?!?!
Absolute shower of shite running this countries football, it really is

Did Michael Brown get as much as a reprimand when he attempted to end Giggs' career with his two-footed leg stomp in 2006?
My mate used to tell me that the FA's actions were typically against united, and I thought that couldnt be..
But for fecks sake, 4 matches + £15k for a scuffle AFTER the match?
feck off

A pat on the back and a "well done son".
Absolute joke.
It's funny how united can comment on this and not the OFT complaint
Groundsman has been banned from cutting grass for 3 weeks
So essentially the lesson here is that if one of John Terry's political advisers launches a racist attack at you and follows it up with fisticuffs you should expect to have the book thrown at you if you're in a red shirt and don't fancy getting pounded by Frank Lampard's skinny cousin.
Kick racism out of football. Ban the FA.

Its as if the FA doesn't want United to equal Liverpool's record
Not surprising. The FA hate us.
I wonder if Fabio will be in the running for a game by then?
Interesting times.

All this long after a match, and after a punch was thrown by Lamp's skinny cousin.
Once the FA admitted they had no standing to charge JT's KKK pal, they basically admitted as a matter of due process they had no standing to charge Evra. So leave it to the FA to do it anyway and give him 4 matches as well. The FA has as much authority over this as they do over someone getting a speeding ticket driving to a match.
No doubt they will be justifying themselves tomorrow about how the rules must be applied to the letter as some other player is raped with an axe in the Championship but they are 'powerless to act' because a yellow card is given out.
We should ask Keith Hackett to reverse the suspension for administrative reasons.
Anderson for left back.
This really is complete bollocks, FA can feck off!
We should just black up John O'Shea on the bench and tell the FA that it is Evra.
It isn't like Chelsea's victimised employees would be able to tell the difference as they all look alike.

Good shout. Allegedly his favourite position.
The FA can feck off. Biased bastards
So Barton got banned for two games more than Evra for complete thuggish behaviour, with many previous.
come closer so I can throw this coin at your eye.
The FA are gutless cowards. Chris Morgan cracks open someone's head and nothing happens. Evra slapped some lippy twat and gets 4 games. fecking joke. Can't wait to hear what Fergie says.
By 'complete thuggish behaviour', you mean being convicted of felony battery?So Barton got banned for two games more than Evra for complete thuggish behaviour, with many previous.
Yes.
In a police case Evra would have been considered the victim.
Only the FA could decide the poor cuddly BNPer was knitting socks for his grandchildren when he was horribly assaulted by this maniac Frenchie.
Racism can't be proved so they don't care about it eh.
Whenever it comes to FA and bans, it just makes my blood boiled. fecking ludicrous, and not the first time either.
In a parallel universe, we can just feck off to join some other league. That'll learn 'em.

jason, felony crimes are prosecuted federally, yes?
Chelsea forgot to tell him that the FA had jurisdiction over him and that he wasn't permitted to assault and make racist slurs against their guests.
So basically nothing happens at all to them. You couldn't make it up.
Get On With The Game. Kick The FA Out Of Football.
Totally agreed there mate.
4 fecking matches I wonder if Fabio will see any action or we will see o'shea performing there, which I'd prefer rather than seeing weird formations that include Neville as CB...Hopefully Fergie has a magic stick for this.
Just being picky for a minute.
Is not sentencing and such handled by an independent panel and not the FA? Or is that just appeals?

Appeals.
Of course last year an independent panel decided that Ferguson hadn't done anything wrong when he pointed out there were a bucket of tittish officials in England - so the FA wanted to have another panel convened to try to reverse the decision of the independent panel.
I'm just gutted because Evra is such a fantastic player.
May just be the latest to express my deep disgust at this travesty of justice.
