Im hedging here. Keane, Viera or Scholes. Dunno which one though.

I would have thought that Nicky Butt has more than Scholes, but could be wrong.

[TheGayTent]

Scholes has 11 yellows more than Butt.

[Steve P]

Savage and Southampton?

[eFestivals]

Scholes has 11 yellows more than Butt.

as you obviously have a list in front of you, could you tell me how they compare on reds too please?

(For no reason at all, other than banal interest. )

[TheGayTent]

Savage is third on the list.

Southampton have conceded 200 fewer goals than the team who has conceded most.

[Stash]

Would guess that Spurs will have conceeded the most goals and if it wasn't Davies then Bowyer must be up there on yellow cards

[jump]

Spurs conceded goals?

Dunne most fouls?

[eFestivals]

Butt has 6. Scholes has 4.

Blimey - I wouldn't have believed either were as low as that. I'd have thought they'd have both picked up something nearer 1 every two seasons, or greater.

Thanks.

Right on both counts.

Tottenham have conceded 947 goals. Only other team with more than 900 is Everton on 904.

Bowyer has been shown the yellow card on 97 occasions, Kevin Davies is next on 91. Savage completes the top 3 on 89.

Evra, Vidic, Berbatov and Scholes all possibly out of the derby tomorrow with a virus. No Rooney or Giggs either. Oh dear.

Its at moments like this where you've surely got to be largely agreeing with Rooney's take on the current squad....?

Yeah. A midfield tomorrow of Park, Fletcher, Carrick and Obertan isn't good enough but 4 of your best players getting hit with a virus is a bit of a freak.

I agree it's a bit of a freak - but none of that detracts from the idea that many of those 'lower' members of the squad are the future of the club.

Tho of course of the four players you've named there, only one falls into that category really - the others are merely squad players at their worst*, so not really ever intended as being week-in-week-out first choices of the future.

(*Carrick might have been bought to be a first choice player, but it's not worked out that way. Park has always really been a squad player rather than first choice [tho decent enough - I'm not having a knock]. Fletcher might yet make being a standard first choice, but he's not quite there yet).

[ampersand]

i thought fletcher was part of the furniture now? who gets in ahead of him?

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Oh I agree, Park is ok, but not a starting Utd midfielder, either is Carrick. Fletcher is a good engine room though and has to be one of the most improved players around? He was pretty dire when he started out. John O'Shea standard.

I don't think these guys are the future once Giggs, Scholes etc go. No way Fergie will go with starting Carrick every game.

So apparently the Drog had Malaria!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/9172276.stm

Can't have been a particularly serious strain if he was playing on sunday and is due to start tomorrow.

Ancellotti

"I don't know where he got it from. I gave him a few days off and he went on holiday for a few days, and then he has malaria."

err .. I'm guessing he got it from a mosquito on holiday, Carlo.

I thought this guy was clever!?

[eFestivals]

I thought this guy was clever!?

He ain't that clever.

Saying that Torres isn't a player worth having wasn't the smartest of moves, as Sunday got to show.

[ampersand]

surely being an ex-footballer is enough to prove he's not clever

[The Nal]

TOUCHDOWN!!

Cheeky bastard.

Well, against Utd' virus, the FA have just raised you a ban for Balotelli.
