Manchester United - if not already a one-man team, then fast becoming one.

In an attacking sense, they are heavily reliant upon Rooney of late. Fergie must be wanting so much more from the other players.

Do you think Portsmouth will go down (no pun intended) this year?

If pompey go down this season will see an absolute scenne of chaos behind the scenes. If they survive the taxmans wrath.

Tell me about it.

If it hadn't have been for Nani yesterday we would have been screwed. Best player on the field by a mile and a half. Scholes controlled the midfield when he was on too.

Just a shame our front men wasted so many opportunites, it could've finished 9 or 10.

So glad to see Rio back, for the first time in weeks I saw our defence talking to each other. I couldn't believe it, with a bit of talking, our defence actually looked half decent. Just a shame he didn't hit that little prick a little bit harder.

Good to see the media picking up on the green/gold, some decent protests from what I heard. Carrington looks set to have a colourful entrance on Monday morning.

Fagan was been a c*nt all game, thinking he was hard, mouthing off etc. In the second half, he had hold of Rio, who swung out an arm at him, not sure if it connected, but he cried like a b*tch at the ref, who then booked him. Ref didn't see it, so looks like Rio is facing a ban, but at least he'll be there against City.

We're linked with Chiellini (sp) to replace Vidic in the summer. I don't see much Italian football, would he be a decent signing?

I seen that in the gossip column. You won't get him for £12m like was rumoured. We bid for him a few years back before he was established at Juve IIRC, and I'm pretty sure Sven nearly signed him at City. IMO, he's the best defender in Serie A. Not the most mobile but strong, shows excellent leadership qualities and is an absolute wall on his day. Would certainly add leadership and strength to the backline, as well as the uncompromising style of Vidic. He'd compliment Rio well, but Rio is getting older so surely Fergie should be looking to add a quicker, more mobile defender to the ranks, unless there's already one coming through?

Where's Vidic meant to be going?

Rather disappointed with ITV's live games from the 4th round, reverting to type by sticking 2 big 4 clubs on and Spurs, considering all the pundits ever talk about is the 'romance and shocks' of the FA Cup, i was surprised that Accy v Fulham wasn't televised, instead we endured a rather inevitible comfortable Chelsea win, along with Stoke v Arsenal today

Re: More Football Chat : Sun Jan 24, 2010 1:08 pm  

what about leeds v spurs, two divisions between them?

but to be fair, ITV are a commercial channel so pick the teams with the most armchair fans, hence Man United are always on no matter who they play and the big clubs follow as next choice
