You can't help coming to the conclusion that they should sweep these referees all aside and start afresh with referees trained to do their job with the assistance of technology. Too much attention is paid in the media to what these idots think about their job. The rules of football are in the main very straightforward so it doesn't need all that much analysis. the problems arise when the referees are too thick to have noticed what went on. Thats why we need technology.

Wasn't Crouch's goal on target when it took a deflection ? Thats why it was given to him in the end. If a shot is going in and then takes a deflections but ends up in the net then its always given to the striker. If Osman's shot wasn't going in and got deflected into the net then its completely different.

dead pool candidate ?

Don't think there's any doubt at all that he'll be offered a contract. Should be a 12 month contract at his age and fitness record.

Beattie has a better touch than people are giving credit for. But Neville, christ that really would be scraping the barrel. I can see him going though, he's always been in Sven's squads and he has his favourites.

and 'local lad' Steve Warnock.

We missed Momo yesterday of course but everyone looked hungover. I just thought we looked like we'd been at Aintree and out on the piss the day before. we had the beating of them all over the pitch but didn't raise our game. Sounds like it would be funny to read now. The jury was still out then for some fans so there was scope for criticism but to say what he said was the work of a career journo who knows nothing about football. From Momo's very first games he showed loads of promise.

Bizarre situation for Florent to be getting the odd taste of our 1st team and then go on loan to Blackburn and not get a look in. I can see him moving on in the summer. Shame, I had high hopes.

The less we play him between now and the end of the season, the more chance we'll con a respectable transfer fee out of someone. To think we waited for 2 years with bated breath for him to arrive.

Yeah Phil Neville has showed Alonso how the game really should be played this season. Thats the beauty of going for more British players like Moyes has done. When will Rafa learn ?
