i think the rumor is control over the squad selection

us soccer should thank its lucky stars that a top manager would entertain even the notion of coming over

I agree. Give him whatever he wants.

hey smackie, what's the best way to get games on my computer? trying to figure it out, but cant

To watch them live, I used to use Cool Streaming or PPLive, but I haven't had to do that in a while so I'm not sure if they still work.

If you missed them and want to download them, you can bittorrent them through fbtz.com, if that's still running.

hey smackie, will i ever see the toon on fox soccer channel ever again?

I'm counting on the newly resurgent toon to take at least a point of chelsea this week!!

guess it depends who's healthy

which is no one

i dont think that emre or solano are going to see action

which means luque and rossi upfront with martins

butt and the kids in the middle

doesnt matter who's at defense, they're all pretty horrible

hard to get a point against chelski with that :(

you gave em a tough time - I would have been thrilled with a scoreless draw - oh well

well on Sunday I will be at Upton Park watching my beloved Manchester United against West Ham - hopefully the Hammers won't be too fired up for Curbs and we can get another 3 points under our belt

sounds like an awesome time, have a good one

Seriously? At first I said not very nice things about you, but that's just because I'm super jealous.

yes, seriously - twas the best of times and the worst of times - fantastic taking the tube out to the game and soaking up all the pre match atmosphere, fantastic watching the Chelsea-Everton game underneath the visiting supporters stand….until Chelsea snuck away with the win, fantastic learning and then singing a bunch of chants I hadn't heard before……great atmosphere overall….but a terrible game, bereft of any of the sparkling play United have shown this year and then a jammy goal at the end meant that it was effectively a 6 point swing on the day…..but a great experience

for some reason my dvr recorded the wrong boxing day match. fuckers

MOU-RIN-I-HO are you listenin'
you'd better keep that trophy glistening
we'll be back in May, to take it away
walkin' in a Fergie wonderland!!!!!

6 points clear, +13 goal difference, not bad heading into the new year!!! :D :D :D

Everton demanded got an apology out of Morono for saying Andy Johnson is a diver….Fergie (tongue in cheek) demanded one too, because Morono said chelski would be top by christmas!!

As long as United can stay relatively healthy the premiership is ours…if we get injuries we'll struggle because there's just no strength in depth at the moment. Old money-bags at Stamford Bridge could field two premiership teams with their squad. If we get Rossi back and he plays to his potential, get Alan Smith back to his best and buy Hargreaves from Bayern Munich I think we'll be fine..but that's three 'ifs'

guess one of the few times you're allowed to feel good about a home draw is when you are facing manure
