Above the managers head, doubt they loan signings will get much game time..

You were right, and then you were wrong: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31145792

Ashley is really turning himself into some kind of evil genius. It's only a matter of time until you're playing in black and white stripes at SJP 2 under the name NUFC B.

In positive news, Allan Johnston is packing it in at the end of the season!

Feel a bit sorry for McDowall, he doesn't want to be the manager yet i don't think he can just walk away as he maybe needs the money...

Man utd on Sunday at our place, usually a cracking atmosphere but it just seems like their not the club they were without Fergie at the helm.
It's almost like they've gone from this big scary monster you didn't wanna tangle with to a helpless puppy who you aren't a bit scared of.
Now as much as i love dogs and would never harm one, i'm afraid on this occasion we are going to have to stamp on this puppies head

They aren't the force they were ad seem to have a few flaws but they do keep winning and are still 3rd in a league dominated by the 2 oil clubs.

I still think they will be in the top 4, along with Arsenal, at the finish, although Spuds will push them hard. Although Liverpool seem to have developed some consistency (and will no doubt be most ably assisted by the officials as usual in the Merseyside derby tomorrow) I don't think they will make the top 4, although they are so incredibly jammy it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Having said all that it would be good to see you beat the mancs.

Nice one.

I remember Tommy Lawrence, he was a character and a favourite with fans of all clubs.

He was Liverpool's goalie when I was a kid, until about 1970 when Ray Clemence succeeded him. He was affectionately known as the Flying Pig due to him being a bit portly, it was actually my rednose uncle who told me that. Football seemed different then (or am I just an old romantic?). I can only speak for Merseyside but whilst the rivalry was there, things were a lot less bitter. Everton's goalie at that time, Gordon West, obviously got a lot of stick when keeping goal at the Kop end during Anfield derbies and was once presented with a handbag by a fan who ran on the pitch (imagine the fuss if that happened now) legend has it that he took it well and played to the crowd with a few poses. Ah well, just off to Goodison via the pub, form says they will win, but being a derby, who knows?

That Harry Kane is an excellent player in excellent form. There's something about him though that for some reason seems to make me think he belongs to another bygone era.

And Arbroath open the scoring against Hibs in the Scottish Cup

He doesn't look fast, in fact he looks slow, he doesn't have quick feet and is of an odd build, but he can't stop scoring, never seen anything like it! It was a great game and now I am half way through another, Atletico v Real.
