Meacons a poo head anyway for taking man utd out of contention pre-draw.

But Man Utd are the team all the foreigners support, he wanted to be different

[Szumi]

This Yankee supports Liverpool.

But I never support winners - Grizzlies and Eagles make up my trident of teams that don't win in the present.

[Lineker]

Ray Wilkins has joined the Aston Villa coaching staff.

My word!!

Ian Cathro is set to be appointed Newcastle's new assistant manager. He seems good, was at Valencia last year.

[Lineker]

Leicester City have offered their condolences after learning that the mother of Marc Albrighton’s partner, Chloe, was killed during the beach attacks in Tunisia. Sue Davey was confirmed as one of the victims in Friday’s attack, along with her partner Scott Chalkley.

[Baddar]

Phil Jones has signed a new contract at Man Utd which will now run til 2019.

Yay?

[brenchill]

I can't believe he's still only 23. I wonder if he will ever be any good?

[unitedツ]

I think he's the best we have when not injured, not that that's anything to shout about.

[Baddar]

I like him, but the injuries happen far too frequently for him to develop.

[brenchill]

His best quality is how dense he is. He'll tackle with his head if he has to.

[The Lusophone]

I think if we can keep him and Evans fit for a sustained period we'll be alright. In the brief periods they did play together last season they looked ok.

[Baddar]

Jonny Evans always looks like a frightened child though.

[DavidMarrio]

Sean O'Driscoll looks like he's going to become our assistant manager.

[Hobo]

He puts out the cones!

[Adam]

Fantastic coach, much more suited to that than dealing with the manager's workings.

Liverpool fans who have never heard of him slating him are making me laugh on Twitter. Claiming he can't be anywhere near as experienced or good as Colin Pascoe. Really, can he not? Nobody had even heard of Pascoe before he moved to be #2 at Liverpool.

Who the hell knows what or what not most coaches can do anyway?

Well exactly. He's the England U19s boss at the minute, hardly a nobody. They've just looked at his managerial history and decided that success at Bournemouth and Doncaster Rovers aren't enough for one of Europe's alleged mightiest. I think he suits Rodgers quite well actually, his style is similar in the way he trains a team to play together. From what I've seen anyway.

I have kissed Brian O'Driscoll. I know what he does.
