Funny how he seems to be far less decisive since he lost the question mark.

[James07?]

well, it must have been a pretty crushing event.

[Nick OGS20]

i used to be indecisive, but now i'm not so sure

keepers: schmeichel, van der sar, van der gouw

defenders: neville g, stam, pallister, irwin, parker, heinze, vidic, johnsen

midfielders: keane, robson, scholes, giggs, sharpe, beckham, kanchelskis, ronaldo

forwards: cantona, solskjaer, van nistelrooy, hughes

Blomqvist ahead of Beckham? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, no mistake there. I never really liked Beckham that much thought he was a lot like Ronaldo was in his first couple of seasons with us, instead of tracking back when he loses possesion he just stood there looking for a freekick. He never really worked for the team imo (probably get shot down in flames but this is my opinion so dont care.) where as Blomqvist was a hugely under-rated player thought he was good going forawrd and provided excellent protection for left backs when defending.

[James07?]

I rate Park higher than Blomqvist.

[James07?]

I also blame him for the destruction of David May.

[Scatter]

errrr... beckhams workrate was usually phenomenally high ffs.

[Mika]

I shall attempt the squad thing now I'm awake.

yep, whs. certainly from when he broke into the side up until the england captaincy/brand Beckham nonsense started to go to his head, his work-rate was terrific and really couldn't be faulted.

[alilaw]

Def: Neville G, Parker, Irwin, Stam, Pallister, Bruce, Rio, Neville P.

Pires thinking Rooney's rubbish :********************************)

[No Longer Bling]

yanks know nothing about football. especially tubby ones.

[Pires777]

On another note, surely you lot must have had at least 1 abysmal right back?

[ACou2000]

GK: Schmeichel, VdS, VdG ..(so close Andy Goram)

Defence: Neville, Rio, Stam, Irwin, Bruce, Pallister, Parker, VIDIC ..(so close William Prunier)

Midfield: Beckham, Scholes, Keane, Giggs, Kanchelskis, Ronaldo, Ince, Veron ..(so close Liam Miller)

Attack: Cantona, Ruuuuuud, Solskjaer, Rooney ..(so close David 'Thierry' Bellion)

Would have been Cole otherwise I guess. Up front was probably the easiest area of all though for me.

[ACou2000]

Having only seen the very end and nothing like the peak of Robson's time with us I didnt feel I could include him. That was the only tough one really.

Plus Miller was obviously more deserving of an honourable mention

Same for it being the easiest.

But really no Cantona? what?

[Nick OGS20]

hmm, the beeb seem to think we've made a bid for Bale:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Southampton have offered highly-rated youngster Gareth Bale a deal extension after rejecting two Premiership club bids, reports BBC Radio Solent.

other rumours abound include bids for Hargreaves and David Bentley, and a Spurs bid for Richardson. none of them to be true, ofc

[JulesMUFC]

In net: Big Pete, Steady Ray, Van Der Saaaarman

At the back: G Nev, Paul Parker (love that goal he scored vs reading in like 94 when we won 3-0), Stevie Bruce, Pallister, Riooooo, Jip Jaap, Johnson, Irwin

In the middle: Keanooooooooooooo, Scholesy, Paul Ince, Robson, Beckham, Andrei the giant, Giggsy, Lee Sharp (>Ronaldo fwiw).

Up top: Eric, Sparky, Ole, Yorke.

Honourable mentions to Ronaldo, P Nev, Berg and Cole, no one else really gets close.

[Coldberg]

But but but Bentley scored a hat trick against us last season so he must be awesome?

[ACou2000]

erm I've not seen it posted so here.. Mourinho spouting inane crap shocker

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claims Manchester United have wasted a chance to open up an unassailable lead in the Premiership title race.

United hold a six-point Premiership advantage after Chelsea's goalless draw at Aston Villa.

He said: "Considering the problems Chelsea have had, Manchester United should be 10, 12, 14 points clear of us. I am happy to be six points behind.

"In my opinion, Manchester United did not take advantage of our bad moments."

Mourinho is also preparing to welcome back John Terry, Arjen Robben and Peter Cech from injury.

Skipper Terry has been pencilled in for the next league game with Wigan at Stamford Bridge on 13 January, with Robben and Cech set to be available for the trip to Liverpool the following week.

Mourinho said: "Six points is nothing. In previous seasons, we have gone 11, 12 points clear and killed things off by Christmas.

"They (Manchester United) didn't take their opportunity on Monday when they drew at Newcastle.

"Manchester United have dropped five points at West Ham and Newcastle recently and the gap could have been bigger.

"Now we look forward to the second half of the season when we should have some people back pretty quickly.

"John Terry should be available for the next Premiership game with Wigan and Petr Cech and Arjen Robben for the game after that at Liverpool."

It was not all good news for Mourinho, with defender Khalid Boulahrouz suffering suspected medial ligament damage at Villa Park which the Blues boss reckons will sideline him "for four to six weeks".

And centre-back Ricardo Carvalho is now suspended from the Carling Cup semi-final first leg with Wycombe after picking up his fifth booking of the campaign. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Jose so crap at the mind games :*******)

Basically would I rather be 'only' 6 pts ahead rather than 10... or 6 pts behind rather than only 3.

If we missed an opportunity, then Chelsea by definition missed one as well. Never mind eh.

Either way, nice to know he cares.
