To be fair, it's not like Nolan was here for a couple of years either. He joined the club at 15 and left over a decade later as captain of the club. It's his way of showing his respect for the club. I hope he gets the response he deserves, one to rival the standing ovation Eidur got when he returne...

This really could go either way,The irish fella who does match of the day 2 suggested this is potentially the most entertaining fixture of the day and I think he's bang on.How times have changed :D

There's an expectation from fans at all clubs that there should be some attempt to make signings and managers always make noises like this.If we did sign anyone it seems likely they'd be squad players on the cheap or on loan given how well the first 11 is doing.Although it's a small squad there's re...

Like he said... Holden and Muamba get through a hell of a lot of work stopping teams playing.Holden's great strength tho is that as soon as he wins the ball he has his head up and is looking for the quick simple pass.He's not trying to do anything showy but does the basics of tackling passing and mo...

Carroll looked decent enough to me,nearest thing to Mark hately we've had since Mark Hately. Could work well with wingers putting crosses in and a quick player running off him. France just have better all round players than us even when both teams are putting out what would have been the reserves in...

Well he's not the footballer Cahill is but from what I remember we looked better defensively with him alongside Knight than we ever have with Cahill there.The extra responsibilty seemed to bring the best out in Knight and Ricketts was very dependable.He's brave,good in the air, strong in the tackle ...

Agree,Ricketts may eventually prove to be a better centre half than full back.Certainly looked solid there when Cahill was out last season

I can only suggest that Crouch has a certain wild card value that Davies doesn't have. I could be wrong,or just biased, but I have a feeling he will play Davies and Rooney up top in the next proper match.He's taking the opportunity to work with a few other players and get them into the set up.Realis...

He doesn't need to look at Davies in this friendly and already knows exactly what kind of job he can do for the team.No Rooney so can't even look at a potential 1st choice pairing.This is an experimental squad looking at potential full squad members.

He was at the game today and watched the Spurs game.Could be that he knows enough of what Davies and Cahill have to offer and is using a friendly to look at a few others.I reckon Davies will be in the squad for the next proper game if his form is still good.

Really needed that 4th goal to put the game to bed.Jarvis did give Ricketts a torrid time but he's done that to plenty fullbacks this season.Steinsson would probably have given him a good kick early on.Reckon this wanderers team is playing the best football |I've seen from the whites at this level. ...

I thought I'd leave the policeman's entrance gag open for someone else to fill.As for Ian Moores love child,Wagbo perhaps? I figured he was a striker,he must have been scoring somewhere when he was with us apart from the halfway line for the reserves.

So Taylor or Petrov and who comes in if Elmander doesn't make it? I reckon Taylor is heading back towards the form of a couple of years back.Looked put out most of last season but seems to be playing with a spark and a smile having seen the impact Coyle has had on the team and recognised that if he ...

A warm hello from sunny Devon

Have been following discussions for a while and figured I may aswell sign up.I've been following the whites since 78 when a kindly copper moved in next door and offered to get me on the paddock via the policemens entrance.Spent my formative years stood on a milk crate on halfway at the back of the p...

Jesus wept,what's all this bullshit about best supporters?United fill their ground regularly so does that make them better supporters than the ones that turn out week in week out in a less than full stadium.The best supporters I ever saw where the 3500 who watched the whites lose 3 0 at home to Darl...

Got to laugh at that Stoke lad,priceless. As others have said can't see how that was deliberate handball from knight,he was falling over backwards from the push and directed the ball toward his own goal. As for Klasnic ,biased as I am, think the ref got it right.No reason to be grabbing the lad by t...
