Lampard should definitely start for chelsea as he'd get into my world xi definitely. (kidding)


I hope ferguson gets the balance right with this game, boro always seem to put in a shift against us and while on form we should beat them he's going to be thinking about tuesday night.

Middlesboring tend to play well against the "big" sides.
Manchester United drew with them last season ?

Rooney needs to start playing up front, ie being a striker. not left wing.
Nani can play left wiiiing
Berbatov to start ?

Really wanting to know about ups and downs in the Championship

 

[Tummy]

Quite possibly but I feel sorry for him.

SAF seems to have decided that Rooney is valid cover on the left wing. Whilst i'm sure he's happy to fulfill that role he's more dangerous when given a licence to roam, like Ronaldo does.

If only Nani could be trusted to track back and not do stupid things like lose his temper and foul, he'd be a regular on the left wing.

Actually yeah, you're right about Nani, I do like him but you have a point.

Don't know if Rooney will start, if he does I don't want him on the left

 

[Tummy]

Me, talking sense? Doubt it.

Nani also tends to ball-hog a lot. Pity as he's a quick little runner, and very talented. Just too young to fill that space full time IMO. Give it a season or two.

I REALLY want to see Tosic

I know he won't get a game unless the pressure is off this season.

I really really want to see him

Final day of the season at Hillsborough !

Great win to be honest, enjoyed the game. 30'000 fans turned up. Brilliant atmosphere, due in part to the Cardiff fans who were brilliant first half.

Cardiff didn't play well.
Wednesday did play well.
Ref had another shocker.

That is it for another season with Wednesday, being mid table never felt so good after last season.

Off to get my season ticket over the next couple of weeks !Bring on next season

How about no? Won't don't you try getting over yourself?

For all i care the more players that put in horrific tackles on Alonso the better, he's a disgrace of a professional.

No he's not.
He's a very good player.

I don't wish bad tackles on players, I'm a lover of football, the beautiful game, I don't want to see players hurt, I just want good football. I really don't agree with wishing bad tackles on players.

I wouldn't blame Alonso, I'd blame the ref, he actually sent the player off.
