Ferdinand injury pinpointed !

says Fergie, my first thoughts are we have heard that before. We can only hope he is right this time as a fit Ferdinand is vital to any hopes of silverware at the end of the season. The most vital task for our scouts is to find the long term successor.

Foster may as well have asked for a transfer as to be allowed out on loan in the new year. The lack of commitment to United and the lack of confidence in his own ability to oust Van Der Sar from the first team will surely have marked his cards with Fergie. To be honest as much as i don't rate Kuszcszak, from what we have seen of Foster this season i am not sure i wouldn't be too troubled if they did let him go out on loan. How damning is that.

I was amazed how good a press Foster got after an average display against the Brazillians for England. Did they not see that lousy clearance in the second half that could have destroyed all his good work before. I am afraid we have got a second and third goalkeeper at United and neither can be confidently relied on with their ball at their feet. What are our goalkeeping scouts doing, since the back pass law changed a goalie has to be as confident with the ball at his feet as an outfield player.

Nani seems to have admirers in Italy or gamblers willing to take a punt that they can get out of him what Fergie can't. Take the money and run.

Andy Cole thinks United made a mistake not buying Torres and they know it.

I think we can safely say that he is right.

No more Mr nice guy, Thierry Henry take a bow. There is cheating and there is cheating, to have handled it once would have been bad enough but to have another go, well i don't think he will be welcome back in these islands again. Desperate times for all those Irish north London wankers who follow the Arse. How can they worship him now.

Cascarino stick the knife in.

Funny money still alive and well as Birmingham now don't know who owns the club. When will the authorities, whether the Premier league or the government introduce laws that stop this kind of crap.
