relegate the ****ers.

[dww]

While it does piss me off I think it's fair enough. If I was managing a team I would do whatever I thought would be best for my team. I'm not sure that this sort of thing is (see Sheffield United when hey went down).

I just wish we had been good enough in recent seasons that teams did it against us.

relegate the ****ers.

They will relegate themselves.

Section E, rule 20 says: "In every league match each participating club shall field a full strength team."

Even forgetting it's handing Man Utd another 3 points it's well out of line on the players that just got them a win at Spurs. So after tonight he'll probably have reserve players pissed off after a beating and first teamers pissed off at being left out away to Man Utd, well done Mick.

Villa 1 up

Pretty open to interpretation though that - it's not as if they have a youth team out. There have been so many instances where teams have fielded teams that weren't first choice that they would have a nightmare enforcing it.

To be honest it is a daft rule to have without sensible definitions and sensible definitions would be very hard to construct I suspect.

Talk about scrappy - crap Blackburn defending - so its not just us then.

Yes, happens all the time, in the CL e.g., or Villa did it last season in the UEFA Cup. Nothing will happen. But the Dingles will lose their next match I predict.

I see nothing wrong with this. McCarthey has a big game on the weekend where he needs to have his fit players ready and with the Christmas pile up arriving, he needs to chop and change. United would beat the Wolves team that faced Spurs at a canter, anyway.

Besides, it's not as if Liverpool are chasing for the title.

Yeah, the Wolves players will be knackered, what with all their European games and big carling cup run.

Given they have a small-ish squad, it's in his players and McCarthy's own interests to protect them tonight.

Liverpool should be in a position of having to fight their own battles rather than having to rely on Wolves. WOLVES

What have Liverpool got to do with it?

[pondus]

Sunderland-Villa

The ref is a Villa fan, or he is O'Neills brother, either way, shocking refereeing. Every decision goes Villas way. Even worse than Webb this ****er. Well, maybe not quite.
