Ah well if Newcastle do come down with us plebs in the Championship, at least they won't be playing Leeds next year..

I'd imagine that with Ribery, however well he was playing, you'd get 100% effort. Not as talented as Henry, but..... You pays yer money.....
All players are like that and even the grafters have off days............judging by your user name you are used to a team of grafters kicking more skillful players off the park?

What I can't understand about the Neviller is how or why is he still the MU captain. It should be Ferdinand.

Ribery is the real deal and I believe one of the few french internationals who doesn't throw strops and is a players player a la Scholes.
well you would have thought not, but i don't know, maybe...

still the capt purely in name now i would think, if that makes sense.

i hope you are right on the last bit. seems academic at the moment though, as valencia seems to be the preferred option.

I hold my hand up, it's a fair cop! Unfortunately you can only support one team IMHO, the town where you were born and watched as a kid. So I'm stuck with Blackburn. And it's Tugay's last season.......... aaargghhh!

Your one last skillful player!

What do you do if you were born in a town and moved away when you were 6 months? Your is a very old fashioned view I feel, true you cannot change your team once chosen but it doesn't have to be your home town club in this day of a highly mobile populace.

You'll still get to play Swansea and Cardiff!! Didn't the Cardiff fans try to wreck the pub opposite Sunderland's ground a few years back?

Just an emotional tug that no other team produces. If I had been brought up where I now live, in Gloucester, who knows which team I'd support.
Having watched Blackburn in the top 3 divisions, home and away, they are stuck with me.

I certainly don't admire the football we play, but considering Blackburn is only a small town just over 100k population, it's an achievement just to be in the EPL

You'd probably be a rugby fan.

The Toon are down to 10 men now. Bassong sent off for a foul as he was the last man back.
