Agree with that totally. As well as the basic unpredictability of the league games coming up, the Champions League and FA Cup semis could also play a part in how the season develops.

My predictor, definately wishful.

1 Liverpool 86
2 Man U 83
3 Chelsea 79
4 Arsenal 69
5 Villa 65
6 Everton 61
7 Spurs



17 Boro 39
18 Hull 37
19 Newcastle 36
20 West Brom 27

true - suspensions, injury, the red card and penalty free for all at anfield, bottle, lack of bottle, luck and other distractions will all have a bearing

I tried to do it sensibly, but had United winning by 11 points, I can't see that in my wildest dreams, will try it again in the morning.,,,,

United win on 88, Liverpool 86, Chelsea 83, Arsenal 71. Blackburn, Boro, Pompey, Bolton and Newcastle all finish on 37, the last 3 staying up on superior goal difference

i have a feeling that england could lose tonight

Just been listening to an interveiw with Dave Whealen on BBC GMR and he was talking about the links with Steve Bruce and the Newcastle job. He was saying that he'd spoke to Bruce and both had agreed that he wouldn't be interested but then said something along the lines of "Steve will only be leaving Wigan for one reason and that is when Alex Ferguson retires and he's got my full backing when that time comes" to me it sounded like he's already been lined up to replace SAF when he decides to move upstairs. What would people think of him becoming the new manager at O/T? I've always been a fan of his and like his attitude but would he beable to handle the top job at the biggest club in the world?

Real Madrid are moving to Old Trafford?

There's only two reasons Bruce is being linked with the Man United job:

1. He's an ex-United player
2. Dave Whelan likes to suck Man United ****

Bruce hasn't done enough to deserve a top job. He's done enough to manage a Newcastle type club but only that. I can understand why he wouldn't take the Newcastle job because that club is a career killer, but I don't think he'll get a top job unless he does a good job at a much bigger club than Wigan.

bruce is a top english manager

name me a better english manager worth taking over fergie

As things stand I'd say the possibility of an English manager getting the job at Man United, or any top club, is miniscule.

Tell me what Bruce has done in his career that is worthy of him being linked with the United job. He's done a pretty good job at Wigan, but nothing more than that.

Alex Ferguson deserved a chance at Man United because of what he did at Aberdeen. Ron Atkinson deserved the Man United job because of what he was doing with West Brom. Steve Bruce hasn't done anything close to what they did, but he did play for United, and for some strange reason Man United fans pine desperately for a manager who used to play for them.

Steve Bruce might well be the top English manager, but that says more about the poor quality of English managers than it says about Bruce's ability. If Steve Bruce is the best manager England has to offer, then Man United will be appointing a non-English manager when Ferguson retires.

Wales 0 Finland 1.

Wales need to win, otherwise it's curtains.

Looks like its

then

It's ok though. Next match Germany.

why does it have to be an english manager?
what has bruce actually done?

England: James, Johnson, Cole, Barry, Upson, Terry, Lennon, Lampard, Heskey, Rooney, Gerrard.

Beckham on the bench. Will he get on?

Even if he goes in net he will get on dont worry

Phil Brown. Honest.

Spot on as ever!!

Great win for Northern Ireland, Poland's late consolation makes the game looks closer than it was.

Having said that the 3rd was comical stuff, voodoo no worky Mr Boruc.

Well Beckham did get his token cap after all what a suprise

Why were England playing in polo shirts? ? ?

What are peoples thoughts on the new [icricket[/i shirt?

Just Watched The Game With My Girlfriend And Friends Plus I Have Northern Irish Blood In My Aswell, Double Whammy!...
