Great comeback - they say if you dont take your chances you will get punished & that happened.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Brilliant result for Stoke. Not just because they scored a late winner but because Tony Pulis' mother died earlier today and he came back at half time with his team 1-0 down and they scored 2 goals in the second half to beat Villa. Can't believe he returned to the game considering what happened. Much respect goes to him.

[Tom]

Yeah top bloke.

Jones is a real centre forward and I was impressed with Reo Coker for villa shame we couldn't get him.

[LeChuck]

I wish we'd bought Etherington years ago when Duff left. Plenty of us on here wanted Souness to go for him, would have been cheap as chips too.

Glad they won it for him & his late mother then!!

Anyone see the interview with Sparky after the Fulham game? Asked about Dembele he replied

"I first saw him 3 or 4 years ago blah blah blah...I never thought I'd have the money to buy him". Terrible shame. If he'd been able to get the financial backing he deserved we would be flying now.

Diarra too

Him and Keef would have been awesome in the centre of the park.

Yeah because City were skint weren't they Sparky?

Good point. Amateur psychology. No doubt said to bull him up a bit and instill a bit of confidence now that he will have to depend on him until spring. A confidant striker is twice the player that one full of self doubt is.

[47er]

I think Sparky was saying his first sight of Dembele was when he was managing us. That's the meaning I took from the interview anyway.

[Hughesy]

Exactly!

If he is that Good then Sparky would have gone after him at City..

Either that or he is showing a flaw with his managerial ability and admitting he bought big names, over quality!?

[gumboots]

Or that the choice of players at city was not always his

I finally saw all the weekend's highlights last night. Arsenal's 4th was funny, but they'd better be ready for repercussions in the away fixture. It's all well and good taking the mick when you are 3-1 up at home against 10 men.

[BuckyRover]

The entire Utd team has been dropped bar Fletcher

Does Ferguson see the Scottish champions as a similar threat to a lower league team in the Carling Cup?

[DanLad]

Does Ferguson see the Scottish champions as a similar threat to a lower league team in the Carling Cup?

Quite clearly he does.

[brian_gallagher85]

It's also becoming a lot clearer as the games go by that Fergies lot have gotten a lot closer to that standard as well.

...and as I type that they have been weakened still further by the loss of Valencia until the New Year it would seem.

[RovertheHill]

Nasty break that looked

[Tim Southampton Rover]

My prediction: Owen to get a vital winner

[brian_gallagher85]

If he does I'm on the first plane to Southampton to punch you square in the face

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The way Man Utd are playing in the final 3rd, I don't think I've got much to worry about

[thenodrog]

Quite clearly he does.

In that case he must think Fletchers crap.

It appears you got away with it.

[brian_gallagher85]

...for now....
