      If we are doing favourite as opposed to best…

      1. Al-Habsi
      2. Gohouri
      3. De Zeeuw
      4. McGibbon
      5. McMillan
      6. Bullard
      7. Liddell
      8. Kilford
      9. McCulloch
      10. Aghahowa
      11. Baines

      Manager: Martinez

      McGibbon, Aghahowa and Kilford feature purely because of my CM01/02 fascination.

        I think it is because Cleverley’s loan restrictions prevented him from playing in cup competitions in case he was called back to United and so they wouldn’t want him to be cup-tied… now, for a replay, you can only play the same players that were eligible for inclusion in the matchday squad for the original tie, with the exception of players returning from injury… Cleverley wasn’t eligible first-time round because of his loan-restrictions, but such restrictions only apply up until the end of the January transfer window because as of this season, clubs can only recall loaned out players during transfer windows if a long-term loan deal is in place. So, Cleverley will be eligible for future cup ties because United can’t recall him anyway.

        If you kept with that train of thought then I applaud you.

          They sell Staropramen in the Tudor.

          John Bull and the Boulevard are my favourite places, but I’m liking the Oak on Wigan Lane of late. They do Black Sheep ale; best pint bar none.

          Brocket tonight, for the quiz, and to chat up some slags.

            The defence doesn’t lack personnel, it just has no organisation and a lack of support from midfield.

            We do need another striker or two, to give us a bit of strength in depth, but Guillermo Franco!? A 33 year old, released by West Ham. That should tell you all you need to know.

              Steve Coppell!?

              The man’s crackers, and retired, allegedly. He’s too crackers for it to be confirmed.

                I’d prefer it if we played 7 in defence.

                  I met a Sunderland fan once. He had aspergers.

                  Subsequently, I’ve yet to find any evidence to disprove my hypothesis that all Sunderland fans have aspergers.

                    Watery fowls.

                    Oh, no.

                    Steve Gohouri is an anagram of Give Hero Oust. Maybe this is why Bobby signed him up – to sneakily leave clues as to what he wants to happen. I’d have nailed Enigma in minutes.

                      Danny Wilson’s my shout too. He’s a Wiganer, and has done splendidly at Swindon with not a lot of money. The only concern is that his only top flight experience is taking Barnsley down, and getting sacked before giving Wednesday the same fate.

                      Curbishley always gets mentioned, but I don’t think he’s ever been north of the Watford Gap of his own volition.

                      Phil Brown?!!? I jest.

                      Paul Hart would be a serious candidate, but he’s never really achieved much other than instilling mediocrity at previously awful teams. He’s also managed about 42 clubs in the last fortnight.

                      Personally, I think we should just give Bobby the job back and let him get on with it. 8-)

                            He is now a free agent :!:

                            Do you think you can swan in here with updates on what he’s upto? Well toucan play at that game…

                            He’s on his way to Newcastle, it seems. (Coincidentally, also known as the Magpies).

                              That ‘no England tops’ thing was in the paper. Somebody on Facebook started a rumour to trick all the retards/rile Nick Griffin’s inbred mates.

                              I’ll be in town for the USA game somewhere – most probably Mortimers.

                                I’d consider Baines better going forward, but defensively, Figueroa has the edge.

                                It depends how you look at it.

                                  Baines is a lot better player than Figgy who imo is an average defender

                                  Whereas Baines is world-class? Ok.
