So if Liverpool win to go 4 points behind with 9 games left you are suggesting the title will have been decided?

I don't care how much that back 4 Nemanja quoted was, there were 3 fullbacks and a centre half in it! Rafael, Fabio and Evra could've cost £100m each, but never, in the memory of man could any of them play at centre back.

FWIW I think the twins were free, Evra about £12m and Rio £28m - so about £40m. However, Fergie could put Keith and EE in, in place of the twins and it would still cost the same!

Sorry, got a tight purse string, can't make it.

Why did Fergie rest Vidic on sat and play Evans when he knew Vidic wasn't playing this week?

I suspect it was to give Evans and Ferdinand another 90 minutes together. Clearly it backfired but it was the right call at the time.

Mate, it does matter how much it cost. After all, why spend £30m on a CH, when you could get a very good FB and CH for a combined fee of £30m. Also, most teams would love to have Ferdinand and Evra joining their defence, even if it meant pairing them up with two full-backs.

The changes mean that only one player will be playing out position. It would be interesting to see how many teams played in the Prem this weekend with 11 players in their best position. I would guess that this could not be said for the vast majority.

Maybe United could promote someone from their Academy. Hopefully they have managed to develop someone who's second touch is not a tackle (such as Wellbeck and Campbell)

No was suggesting Liverpool lose to go 10 points behind and if that happens then yes am suggesting the title will have been decided.

Don't think you'd find many Utd fans saying it'd be over. If you want to throw the towel in though thats up to you.

Before I log-out, I would just like to say best of luck to Hull tonight. I hope Spurs have at least two players sent-off this evening, and hopefully everything you try comes off.

If Spurs lose this game, I fancy them to get relegated.

Come on 'Ull.

United had the money to buy a centre half for 30 mil. They then spent another £12m on a full and and £10m-ish on Vidic. That has nothing to do with with the fact that they are supposed to cope with Ibrahimovic & Adriano with a 5 foot 6 full back playing in the centre of defence!!

If City were to lose 3 midfielders to injury menaing that SWP and Martin Petrov end up playing in the middle, along with Robinho, they're going to struggle. It doesn't matter how much that midfield costs.



The one player is a pretty vital one mate. It's putting Evra in at centre half. Surely you're not saying because he cos £Xm he should ge able to play anywhere? That's like saying because Robinho cost £30 odd million he should be able to play at right back.

Factoid;

Mourinhos record against SAF - P12 W6 D5 L1

manchester united should be able to cope without vidic and evans tommorow night because its the away leg its not really as damaging to concede a goal cause we can always score at old trafford we have the attack to be able to get an away goal.

because its the away leg its a little bit easier for us to put evra at centre back without worrying too much.
