Unfortunately, England aren't in the EPL, Chappers.

What's more annoying for Man Utd is the injuries. Blind now out with a knee injury and De Gea probably out too with a dislocate finger. It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it.

Aaaah. I do feel for you.

A team with that much financial power and supposed youth setup should NEVER use injuries as an excuse.

Actually I'm not quite sure what you mean. What I'm saying is they had a class player and they let him go to a rival where he's getting games and scoring goals.

I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a class player. He's a good player, but he's never going to set the world alight. United have much bigger problems than losing him.

OK - maybe not a class player but Manure have got supposedly class players who can't stand the pace.

I don't know what's happening with Falcao. He got a "knock in training" and now he's been out for 3 weeks. All sounds very strange.

How much money is he getting paid?

This is MU you're talking about Chappers. Bound to be around the £800 pw mark.

That's what I'm getting at. What motivation has he got to actually PLAY?

I only watched a little bit of the game tonight as I was busy, but Rooney's surely going to be the all time England goalscorer within a year!

Not just having a go because he plays for Manure but nowadays there are so many more games and more low quality countries to play against so it's not quite the achievement of Charlton (Another Manure player) and Lineker.

Also 100 plus caps doesn't mean the same thing because of the abundance of substitutes used nowadays - especially in friendlies.

Well Charlton achieved it in 106 games, so I don't think Rooney will be far off. I don't know what the quality of other countries were back in the 60s/70s, so can't comment on that. Jimmy Greaves, though, got 44 in 57 games which is highly impressive.

I agree Rooney probably will do it. At least he's playing for one winning team this season.

Good! Now f**k off Evans.

You know a strange thought came to me the other day.

Maybe he's not guilty.

I think Evans is trying to appeal, isn't he? Still, he's been found guilty so how else can he be viewed? There's nothing to the contrary apart from his word. Of course, if his conviction is quashed due to new evidence etc then an even more lively debate will erupt.
