*concerned* what happened to the Langdalian one then?

PS: yeah exactly.

[ampersand]

he still posts occasionally in the console thread, and you see him lurking about. but he says there's not much point being here seen as he won't be doing fests for the forseeable. he's got another kid too, few weeks/months old? dunno if you're aware of that...

[Radar]

Ah, well my hearty congrats to him if he sees this.

You don't catch me in many muddy fields either, but I don't see why I shouldn't post here :whistles:

And also his team are looking in big trouble.

And I was wondering if Blackburn has been bought by an Indian family/firm because of the number of originally-Indian families around that area? Tho I could be completely wrong about them being 'Indian', I'm unsure of the exact background of the immigrants (and their British-born descendents) from that part of the world.

*something about Cardiff City*

"Ancelotti: "You compare me with Ferguson, it's a different position. Ferguson has total control of the team. I have just technical direction. Full stop. OK?".

Whats going on down the Bridge?

Well the footy just topped off a rubbish week for me. No team that has any real chance of winning the league should ship 3 goals in 1 half, especially at home. The annoying thing is that none of the goals were good, we just let them back into the game. Stunningly disappointing. Heaps a lot of pressure on tonights game against Braga, must say i'm worried.

[ampersand]

well as much as i hate to say it, i'm seeing neils point regarding his thoughts on ngog doing much better for a team like sunderland. (still don't think he'd do better than bent though)

but wellbeck has to be the worst striker i've ever seen in a man utd shirt. yet he seems to be doing the business at sunderland at the minute. whether he can keep it up is another thing.

Interesting discussion on times podcast how unusual it is that no managers have been sacked yet. When you look at the league table you can see why. There arent many clubs below where you would expect and those who are eg liverpool, everton, fulham, villa etc are only a win or 2 away from doing well. Surely Grant should get his marching orders though.

[ampersand]

Wellbeck is only 19 and showed promise in a united shirt.....He is obviously progressing well at Sunderland.

To say he is the worst striker you have seen in a Utd shirt is a bit over the top considering the amount of games he actually played and his age.

[pink_triangle]

I doubt wellbeck is man utd material but he seems to have fitted in well at sunderland. If he continues to do well, then man utd could start a bidding war off between europa league contending teams and getting a decent fee.

[jump]

who's been worse in the past say 15 years? if ferguson thought he was good enough, then age doesn't matter. he looked like a turkey every single time i saw him for man utd.

did the likes of ebanks blake play like wellbeck did?

actually, i'm just looking at his record and he's scored 3 in 14 for sunderland. 3 being in the past 2 games. so 12 games firing blanks? and his preston record wasn't all that great either.

can i take back what i said?

Everton gave us a fine compliment by playing a high pressure kick-it-up-in-the-air game. It almost worked for them as well.

I'd have been moaning about Bent and Wellbeck not getting the three points at the end had it not been for the mighty Beckford.

Its too early to tell, he could either be in a purple patch or maybe he has just adapted to a new team. Will have to judge over a season.

[ralph250]

Dave Bellion comes to mind.

Not sure I see Fergie letting him go. Think he'll give him at least a couple more years to see how he develops.

Gotta think at Welbeck's age, Shearer scored 3 in 26 league games, Yorke 2 in 18 league games etc etc.
