Yup. It's great to see other teams go bust.

I have to admit, if I was Bridge's mate, that's what I would have told him to do.

As a Citeh player, isn't it a contractual obligation to have physically assaulted a team mate?

When Bridge comes up against Gudjohnson or Mutu, are they entitled to feel the same bitterness towards Bridge?

Does Taggart rate him?

Nani shown some form and Valencia was dropped like a stone.

Nah he just decided to pay £16mil for him for a laugh. The simple fact is most of the players you listed would rather be at Utd than their present clubs. If Utd came knocking i think most would join but Fergie hasn't gone after them so he must be happy with what he's got. I'll take him rating Valencia over your frankly embarrassing statements.

In other news, Chester City are effectively out of existence. Booted from the conference and with a winding up order on the 10th March. Sad to see a club get run into the ground like they have, hopefully they can come back in some guise.

Because Taggart signed him it doesn't mean that he still rates him. Taggart spent £32m on Veron. Did he still rate him after 20 games? Probably not.

Does Taggart still not rate Tevez? I guess that he still thinks that Berbatov and the mercurial Mikey Owen are better.

I look forward to the posts "Chris Smalling is world class" by September later this year.

It's amazing ain't it. By your reckoning Fergie must be a retard, yet with a team full of crap Utd sit 2nd in the table with a chance of winning the title.

Utd have played 28 games in the league, Valencia has appeared in 26 of them. Where has he ever said that those 2 are better than Tevez? Tevez wanted to follow the money, he found it at City. The opportunity was there for him to stay at Utd he decided against it.

You choosing a 31 year old Petrov over a 24 year old Valencia is laughable. I won't be insulting my intelligence by replying to anymore of your drivel. Oh and Etherington

Arshavin - Not a winger really, does not beat a man and put a cross in. More of an attacking midfielder imo.
Lennon - Great pace, often lacks a final ball but has become much mroe consistent this season and should go to the WC if fit.
Cole - Very good player on his day, can't remember the last time that was, nowhere near as good as Valencia this season.
Malouda - Always liked him right from his Lyon days.
Modric - Like Arshavin, more of an attacking midfielder.
Kranjcaer - Decent player, got an eye for goal but would not have him over Valencia.
Young - Very inconsistent and not been at his best this season, young enough to get better.
Milner - Would have him at Utd in a heartbeat and play him and Valencia on each wing.
Petrov - Always looked good when I have seen him, don't understand why he does not get more games, would rather have Valencia though.
Bellamy - Is a striker.
Etherington - Average PL winger, nowehere near as good as Valencia.

yossi benayoun and maxi rodriguez are better than any of them!

If you gave Moyes the money Rafa wasted on his Europa Cup side Everton would be better than Liverpool. Without question. If you took Gerrard and Torres out we'd be better than you as it is.

Since the Premier League started Everton have spent £3m per season on average, Liverpool have spent FOUR TIMES as much with £12m per season on average which is £4m more than United and only less than Saudi City and Chelski.

In the period 04-09 (which both managers have been involved in) Liverpool have spent £18m per season on average and Everton £3.8m. Liverpool again only behind City and Chelsea and a staggering £13m more PER SEASON than United.

Rafa's failure is quite spectacular when you look at Sir Alex's trophy haul in that period.
