Re: Official Arsenal Thread Hmmm, good and bad news. I don't mind Arsenal and I wanted them to keep their players fit to help stop United winning the league. On the other hand, this should help Barca, which I want since I believe they're the best team to stop United (though here's hoping Bayern can! ).

Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * This is a big if (and likely an unnecessary one) If O'Neill does leave (which I can't really see happening soon and certainly not now) then I think Mark Hughes would be a good choice. Knows the league, available (no need for compo), would want the job, presumably, and has shown, if needs be, he is able to work on a tight budget (at Blackburn, not City ). The fact you have a large British contingent means you should probably get a British boss since I believe British players tend to react well to British managers (due to their relative inflexibility). Obviously not vital but I would think preferable. Thoughts? Also, whom are these other 'depressing' targets? I imagine Shteve's name has been linked since his rejuvanation. Who else? Not...*gulp*...Phil Brown!?!?

Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * I'd like to see O'Neill get some criticism for this. I've got nothing against the man, I DO think he is a very talented manager and has done a good job for you but it is frustrating to see how the man seems to have a force field around him protecting him from ANY media criticism. Especially frustrating as a Liverpool fan since Rafa gets criticised for everything from his beard to things out of his hands. I know he can do odd things, wrong things, but the way he gets crucified and someone like O'Neill, (who, let me say this again, I respect) who gets lauded as a master motivator constantly, who works on a small budget (not true) has allowed his team to collapse like this twice consecutively. I'm not even saying it is HIS fault, God knows the players need to take some responsibility and the size of your squad is a big factor but I'd just like to see some balance in the media for once. I know this doesn't matter to you Villa fans and probably isn't something that is going to cheer you up but I just thought it needed saying.

Re: Official Liverpool Thread We could easily get away with that against smaller teams and just drop Kuyt and bring in a 2nd CM/DM for bigger teams. It'll never happen though, that line-up.

Re: Official Red Devils thread So let me get this straight...Fletcher is Torres and Messi is Hargreaves Who is Carrick, bloody Péle!

Re: Official Red Devils thread Hargreaves to train with the first team. Great news for you. I've always appreciated Hargreaves and I think that if he gets fully fit (admittedly huge if) he would warrant a starting berth in your team. I would start him for England over Barry if he can sort himself out and hopefully that will be a possibility (though Capello wont start him unless something happens to Barry). Would the prospect of Hargreaves excite United fans? More importantly, would he figure in YOUR teams? I'm just wondering...
