Pudding : A selection from Kuyt, Ngog, Lucas, Dossena or Degan

Hmm Dossena is the only pudding out of all them for me. Degan (SP?) hasn't had a chance yet. Kuyt is still a great workhorse and bags a goal every now and then. Ngog and Lucas are improving day by day as is their confidence.

I suppose the benefit of this is knowing now that we won't win anything this year, where as United will have to wait to May to realise they won't be winning anything either.

7/10

Having the chance to win them is the key.

'Workhorse', hardly the greatest compliment you can pay to a player.

Yet they'll never be anything more than average, workhorse if you like

7? Wouldn't have give it a 2 myself but if a gets a bite out of you, it can't have been that bad.

Being a workhorse is nowhere near good enough though.. Kuyt has been utterly atrocious for the last 5/6 games and he needs to be dropped. I'd play Benayoun right hand side as he is much more effective there. Tomorrow night I'd like to see

Reina

Johnson
Carragher
Agger
Insua

Lucas
Aquilani

Benayoun
Gerrard
Aurelio/Babel/El Zhar/Riera

Torres

RE Carling Cup Semi:

Good news for FCUM fans - tickets for United fans have gone on general sale, even though City are taking 9,000 supporters.

Congratulations Glazer.

You have finally got to a point where a semi-final second leg game against Manchester City cannot sell out.

There's still more than a month to the game.

The away side get more tickets for Carling Cup games than they do for PL games.

Yeah I know.

City got around 9k, I think they've sold out their allocation. The rest are United tickets that haven't managed to sell out between ST holders and Members, despite it been United-City.

On the website, "fans can join One United for a £5 discount on tickets". How nice of them. Pay £20ish to become a member to save £5 on a £30-£50 ticket.



I know it's only The Sun, but they're claiming that Hargreaves' comeback is on hold because of a lack of confidence in himself. I know it's only natural to be low on confidence / pulling out of challenges after an injury, but hopefully he can regain his confidence quickly.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool linked with young Uruguayan Gonzalo Castro in this morning's papers over here. The lad's playing really well this year at Mallorca and scored a screamer at the weekend.
