Wayne Bridge

All he needs to do now is get sent off to make his debut even better.

Only thing left for him to do to surpass Woodgate.

[britneyspearsisgod]

So, apparently Avram Grant has no chance of staying in the job at West Ham and Martin O'Neill is in line to get the job.

Firstly, with the board at West Ham, would a man like Martin O'Neill - noted for his control issues, as evident by his departure from Aston Villa - REALLY want to get involved in the quagmire that is West Ham United? Their board can't come out and publicly back their manager, they can't go out and get Steve Sidwell and think getting Wayne Bridge will solve problems and their Vice-Chairman is too busy swanning about with media celebrities and appearing on the fucking Apprentice and believes it's perfect sense to air dirty laundry in public. Who wants to get involved in that? Also consider that they need major reinforcing if they are to achieve any kind of result this season and I can't see anyone like MON taking the job.

Secondly, Avram is a much better cup/tournament manager than a club manager it seems. I feel bad for him being under so much pressure and wish him the best, but it might be wise for him to move into international management with a smaller country. Or get involved with Israel's set-up. Either way, I don't think he can do much else there any more. They need a tougher man in charge.

What a vile away kit Fulham have!

[Lineker]

I believe it's their third kit. They wore their away kit against us recently; a red & grey number.

[Pesci]

Aye, that would explain why I haven't seen it before. It's still disgusting.

[Colly]

I actually think the red and grey is the third kit. They wore the green for the 3 o'clock kickoff at Newcastle a while back and they had to put the floodlights on, they were practically invisible before that barring the shiny head of Johnson.

[Lineker]

Not as bad as Liverpool's most recent green number:

On a side note: lol, Titi Camara.

Wiki lists the green as the third kit and on Fifa their away kit is the red/grey one.

So decent wins for Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal yesterday. Makes the game more important today, COME ON UNITED!! If we beat Tottenham then we arguably have four games in a row that we should win in the coming weeks (Birmingham (H.), Blackpool (A), Villa (H.) and Wolves (A)). After that we have Man City at home on 12th February, which will be a HUGE game!

[Baddar]

Yeah, the Spurs game is a biggie today - a point is fine, but the way Arsenal have played since we beat them at OT, the further we are away from them, the better.

Birmingham vs. Villa, dinner whilst watching Liverpool vs. Everton, and then the United game. Today's a lazy day. I will be drinking plenty of tea this afternoon.

[stokeriño]

Tottenham will roll over for United. It's one of the few remaining certainties in football.

[Starvinho]

If Mark Clattenburg was the ref they might aswell just give us the three point now

[Baddar]

Just saw that Mike Dean's the ref. I presume Webb's taking control of the Merseyside derby?

[Starvinho]

Phil Dowd at Liverpool, Clattenburg at Birmingham vs Villa and Webb's doing the Sunderland vs Newcastle game.

[Colly]

Rumours abounding on the Twittersphere that Andy Carroll just got off the team bus in full training gear. Mindgames are fun, whether true or not.

[Starvinho]

Sunderland: Gordon, Onuoha, Bramble, Ferdinand, Bardsley, Elmohamady, Henderson, Richardson, Malbranque, Gyan, Bent.

Subs: Mignolet, Zenden, Angeleri, Da Silva, Riveros, Reid, Colback.

Newcastle: Harper, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Jose Enrique, Barton, Nolan, Smith, Gutierrez, Best, Ameobi.

Subs: Krul, Guthrie, Routledge, Lovenkrands, Perch, Gosling, Ranger.

Birmingham: Foster, Carr, Johnson, Ridgewell, Murphy, Bentley, Ferguson, Hleb, Gardner, Fahey, Derbyshire.

Subs: Taylor, Bowyer, Phillips, Zigic, Beausejour, Mutch, Jiranek.

Aston Villa: Friedel, Clark, Dunne, Collins, Walker, Albrighton, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Downing, Carew, Agbonlahor.

Subs: Marshall, Pires, Delfouneso, Cuellar, Bannan, Hogg, Baker.

There's the teams, no Andy Carroll then. Is that because he is still injured, or is he on his way to Spurs as the rumours have been saying?

[Lineker]

What in the name of fuck is Dwight Yorke wearing.

[Baddar]

He wears what he wants - that's what he's wearing. :@

Jamie Redknapp presenting again, I see.

[DavidMarrio]

More importantly instead of what is he wearing, Why the Fuck do Sky keep having Dwight York on?!?!?!!!! Seriously....

[Lineker]

To be fair, he did play for Villa & Birmingham.

But that is a real shocker.

[Pesci]

Not as bad as Liverpool's most recent green number:

On a side note: lol, Titi Camara.

I liked that kit! And you lay the fuck off Titi Camara.
