Vieira was awesome in the world cup, save for the first game, I think hed view joining you lot as a fantastic challenge, and hes certainly better than any of the other shlt you have in central midfield atm. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

He makes a good point.

I come with absolutely no angle or hidden agenda before someone jumps on me, but do you want Carrick? (at a reasonable price OR at whatever the price will be) or is it just relief that you're actually making a move? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Bit of both. I'd have taken Carrick as part of a midfield double, because I like the creativity that he brings. Even though a lot of people underestimate his defensive abilities, I still think we need a hard as nails all action midfielder alongside him to scare the life out of people.

By now though it's pure, unadulterated relief.

Silvestre wandered out of position, made 3 or 4 stupid fouls and he looked as though he just doesn't fit in anymore.

I didn't see a separate thread, but this is ridiculous. A player calls a referee a SOB and all other names under the sun and gets nothing, but as soon as he says something homophobic there is outrage?

Scholes in hot water over alleged homophobic remark

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Gay rights campaigners have urged Paul Scholes to apologise after the Manchester United midfielder allegedly made a homophobic remark during the Champions League victory over Benfica.

The 31-year-old former England international is alleged to have made the comment after receiving a yellow card from referee Frank De Bleeckere in the 10th minute of last night's clash at the Stadium of Light.

UEFA are waiting for reports from the match delegate and the referee before they decide whether to address the complaints, although they are unlikely to take action if the incident is not reported. They expect the report on Thursday.

Peter Tatchell, of gay human rights group OutRage!, said: 'We urge Paul to apologise and to express his opposition to homophobia.

'No player, referee or fan should have to endure abuse about their race or sexuality.

'There should be big fines and match suspensions for players, managers and supporters who wilfully use anti-gay insults.

'Stewards should be ordered to identify fans who shout homophobic abuse and the Football Association should secure the agreement of the police to arrest and charge them.'

Tatchell called for Scholes to attend a training course on homophobia if he is found to have made the remark, while also urging the Football Association to tackle the problem in the game.

The FA set up the `Football For All' scheme four years ago to make the sport as accessible as possible, encompassing a number of problem areas, including homophobia.

'The Football Association works very closely with a number of group to stamp out inappropriate behaviour in the sport,' an FA spokesperson said.

Yeah, good riddance CQ. We all hate you, and blame you for our negative tactics etc. You're rubbish for our football club.

(Apart from 02/03, where we though you were one of the reasons we won the title, and 03/04, where we thought you going to Madrid was one of the reasons we lost it).

(And yes, I've joined in the hypocrisy as well).

Clearly the Atletico scouts were there and Fergie wanted to give him a run out so he could boost the price.

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

So you're trying to offload Silvestre, and you know that the scouts of the club you're trying to offload him too are there. Surely that's more reason to not play him, so they don't see how gash he is? If you're putting Mickey in the shop window, you close the curtains just in case.

Second half was much better though, was worried when we came out 4-5-1 but thankfully we scored so quickly from that flurry of set pieces that it never mattered.

the draw at home to reading came about iirc from a comical Essien own goal which Hilario had no involvement in.
