    Same old Arsenal, always whinging.
    Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
    Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

        Not that great. Lost to Blackburn 2-1 at home. I think they could really use Gary Neville now.

        Also their midfield line is quite bad.

          So because they freakishly lost one game where they had about a million attempts at goal they are a bad team?

          It was just bad/unlucky finishing, which is bizarre considering the quality of forwards they have.

          What's wrong with their midfield? Ronaldo and Scholes are excellent players, Park is at least a very decent player who was great for PSV last season and is currently keeping Giggs out of the team... Alan Smith is the only unproven element of that and he's doing ok?

            Scholes is well past his sell by date. Ronaldo and, to a lesser extent, Park want to do too much themselves rather than play a team game. Smith is not a replacement for Roy Keene, except in the manager's imagination. Ferguson seems to have an obsession with keeping Keene in the side no matter how much he has to compromise the rest of the team to do it.

            I agree that ManU will probably finish second in the Premiership to Chelsea. Liverpool will be third if Benitez gets the players he needs in January and Arsenal will probably scrape fourth.

            Wigan in next season's UEFA cup? That would be worth seeing.
            Never give an AI an even break.

                  They'll do well to make the top six, IMHO.
                  If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

                    ManU did their best to prove me wrong last night. Dire game.

                          He played really well.
                          He even made a couple of good tackles (to go with all the awful tackles when he fortunately missed both the man and the ball. Phew!)

                              Questions for our Belgian friends: Accidentally bumped into and I saw the first half of Anderlecht - Club Brugge tonight on Canvas (missed most of the second half because it clashed with PSV - Ajax). That was a great match (not terribly good football, but very attacking, fast-paced and a good atmosphere), very enjoyable for the neutral spectator.

                              1) Was this match representative of Belgium football today? Haven't seen much in the past few years but it used to be much more boring, slower-paced and defensive.

                              2) Do Canvas and/or Een broadcast more live matches like that or was this a one-off or something? I thought the rights were sold off to some commercial network as in most of the rest of Europe?

                              3) WTF is up with those camera angles? Does panoramic view get it on for you guys or what? Couldn't distinguish individual players most of the time, and that's coming from someone with a ridiculously large TV...

                                I had a bit of luck, I offered my mate Bookies odds on Everton winning.....I was nearly £70 down for the £10 bet.

                                On the bright side, I'm a tenner up now....!
