Feel sorry for Preston. Bottom of the Championship, sacked their manager and then his dad has an even bigger childish paddy fit than Wayne Rooney and recalls two of their players back to Man Utd who will never even get any game time.

Wouldn't be surprised if no-one wants to employ Darren Ferguson if that is going to happen all the time.

Re the Liverpool situation: why do people keep saying they want Kenny back? Yes, he's a legend at the club, an icon, a figurehead, but those times have passed now. He won't be the guy the get us back up there. We need a fresh start, different tactics, players playing in the right positions, new training methods. I don't feel Kenny can bring that to the table.

A few people have been discussing Rijkaard as a possible replacement. He's had a few jobs that have lasted only a year or so (Holland, Sparta Rotterdam, Galatasaray) and his only success came with Barcelona. He is known for playing attacking football, IIRC he's a big fan of the diamond formation.

He is available, but the only sticking point would be having to give out compensation for sacking Woy because he's not going to quit, the only way out will be for him to get fired.

Some classic little snippets of interviews with Liverpool fans on the radio earlier,unfortunately you can't get across the thick docile scouse accent in text, but youve all heard what a whiney scouser sounds like, so here goes;

'i don't like seein my club like dis, dis great club, we got a manager dats dun nu'in, dis club needs turning round, get Kenny in, its de only way to do it, get Kenny in now'.

Obsessed

Yes, you are indeed.

Indeed. Job done though.

The Premier League may aswell give Man Utd the league now. They are the luckiest team on the planet. Totally dominated by West Brom today, should've been down to 10 men, yet they scrape an undeserved victory.

We're Man United, we'll do what we want.


Nice to have the old Rooney back. The harder I try, the luckier I get.

Him and Colleen must have had a romantic Christmas??....

We're Man United, we'll do what we want.

*cringe*

What a ****ing baby Ferguson is.

He won't talk to the BBC because they called his shady son shady. He instantly recalls loan players from Preston because they sack the manager who has guided them to bottom place.

Oppo supporters should be singing songs about Fergie's sons every week.

Nice to see that David Moyes is doing the decent thing and taking some of the pressure off Roy Hodgson....Might be a decent race seeing which Merseyside job is available first....

Maybe the scousers were right after all. I mean when was the last time you saw Messi bagging an injury time winner against Bolton?

Different year, same boring posts eh.

They never made any mention of it in the report, but for me Joe Cole looked offside.

Think it was Le Tiss covering the game on Soccer Saturday and he said Cole was miles off.

A few people have said the same, but the feed I was watching was so bad I couldn't actually tell.

Sounds like Arsene Wenger, but I'm going to watch MOTD before passing comment. Saying that though, we were lucky to get the 3 points anyway as Bolton were all over us and deserved something out of the game.

Sums Everton's season up perfectly. 10 shots on target against Stoke versus their 3 and Stoke win 2-0.

Going down?

Oh I do hope these rumours about Roy are true

Certainly a possibility.....Trying to think of 3 clubs who are definitely worse than us and I am struggling.

This transfer window could make or break Everton's season....Yes, we need a striker, but, more importantly, we need something in midfield.....Arteta is finished, I would cash in right now and look to fetch in somebody with a bit of drive and creation...Also a right sided midfielder with pace wouldn't go amiss.

What's that then? He's not trending on Twitter but Chris Waddle is. Be unusual if he's been removed and not on there. Is it the rumour you posted up earlier?

What?

Everton wont go down. If it came down to it I think they would do quite well at backs against the wall stuff. We are also one of the few teams who can win away from home.

You mention the midfield is lacking, but i don't see that. Everytime I've watched Everton this season, bar away to Man City, they have pretty much dominated general play, had more possession, corners, shots and shots on target than the opposition. That doesn't strike me as a pattern of a team lacking in midfield.

The only thing lacking with Everton is goals. Not enough of them from defense (None that I can remember bar the odd Baines free kick), not enough from midfield. Moyes doesn't seem to have any faith in any of his strikers. I think he should just pick the two (Possibly one away, but definitely two at home) and go with them. Players like Yakubu and Saha are the type that might take 6 or 7 games to score. But once they did they could then score 10 in 5 games. Playing the odd 20 minutes here and there does nothing for a forward, it's all about consistency. I feel so sorry for Beckford who is given 6 or 7 minutes then thrown in for the odd full game. It's not fair to expect him to deliver in those circumstances. Again, if Moyes thinks he's up to it, give him a long run in the side.
