Was it a deliberate move to have the photo taken with that picture behind it? It would seem to fit with what was said in the article.

Difficult to say how it'll go. Everybody agreed that last season United were rubbish, utterly hopeless, laughably bad and unusually so. They still finished ahead of us in a season where we were amazing, surprisingly strong and skillful. Top teams doing badly still stand a good chance of getting above us while we're doing well.

That's getting forgotten a bit by people mainly just seeing the points and the league position. With 11 against 11, we didn't look that good at Swansea. Newcastle's horrific performance flattered us a bit too and it took a brilliant half time turnaround to look good against West Ham. We do have a good team that may get even better, but we have had a bit of luck to get up to second. Hope it continues. The encouraging thing, though, is the fact that we were able to turn it around at West Ham and that we were able to take advantage against Newcastle and Swansea. Beating and dominating Arsenal is by far our most encouraging result yet.

It looks good, but as has been pointed out, we had more points from these matches last season. We're also partly judging the team on a match won against ten men and a win against a terrible Newcastle side. It's simply too early to tell much.

Nice to see them give Østenstad credit for the hat-trick and that they squeezed in the invisible grey shirt game, even if unofficially.

Yoshida was very committed and got stuck in against an intimidating attack, but I thought JWP, whom I like, seemed a level below the rest of the team. When they had the ball he retreated and retreated and when we had the ball, he struggled to have any effect. I know it's not his style of play, but he'd need to toughen up a lot to be of use in a match like this. Davis or even Wanyama would have influence on the game. Wanyama against Bony would have been fearsome today!

Great three points to get. Before the sending off they were clearly the better side, so this was a big win.

Common misconception. Britain has a constitution. It's different to that of the US and many other countries because Britain has never been liberated from another power. Whereas the US, France and Norway all declared themselves free and independent and had to draw up a new constitution, Britain has built up it's own constitution through a number of documents over the years, one of the first of such being the Magna Carta. It's not all in one document, but it's all there in writing, creating the foundation for the laws of the land and no worse for it. PR may be more fair, but what you would never have again would be a strong government. If you've enjoyed having a coalition, it's for you, but it would often involve more than two parties as the vote gets split more and more once you know a vote for any party counts equally. The biggest winners of PR would be UKIP without a doubt.

This used to be my favourite MLT goal over the Blackburn one, until I heard the story about the towel at the back of the goal. That elevated the Blackburn one above this, but it certainly is a work of art.

I liked it a lot, genuinely good story and characters, very atmospheric, good gameplay. I'm currently wondering how Assassin's Creed became such a big thing though. The gameplay is about as shallow and repetitive as it gets. It feels like the same missions repeated over and over again. I got Dead Space 3 from the instant games collection, but haven't got around to it yet.

I got that in the pack when I bought a PS3 earlier this year. So far it's still my favourite game on the platform, very atmospheric and involving, although I haven't tried any GTA yet. It's worth playing through again after you complete it too, so that you can enjoy it more fully, rather than rushing through everything in a panic thinking you're about to die. I've been catching up a bit with Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 recently (I am a long way behind with games), but it's all a bit one dimensional and repetitive. I might have a go at the Mass Effect series next.

Does he seem to have a teeny tiny head in comparison to the rest of his body? Maybe that can be the chant.

Well, according to my wife, who travels the world with her job, the number one horrible city she's ever been to is...Hull. Mind you, out of all the exotic locations she visits, the one that she managed to bring me along to with spa hotel and luxury car on the company bill was...Nuremberg. Nuremberg is horrible, but apparently not as bad as Hull.

Somebody once told me that Turkish's head looks exactly like a potato, is this a thread for him?

I'm not a fan of cities, so not really aimed at me I suppose, but my favourite of the ones I've lived in was Gøteborg. It always felt so open and relaxed. I was in Rome this summer and although it's a fascinating place, I wouldn't want to live there. Just like anywhere else, I'd rather be in the Italian countryside, or on the coast, than in the cities. I understand the attraction for a short visit though. Quite rightly, no Norwegian cities should make anyone's list. If you come to a country with the breathtaking landscape you find here, and choose to spend time looking at a city, you're an idiot.

I'm 5'9", so not very tall, but luckily I never find tall women attractive, could be connected though. Baldness? Well at about 23 I was convinced my hair was starting to thin out and a friend and I both became resigned to the fact that we'd lose our hair early. He was a slaphead within two years and I've still got a full head of hair 20 years later. It'll come one day though, so might as well accept it. I'd go for bald over very short though, definitely. If you're going bald you just cut what you're left with down to a couple of millimetres and you look okay, I've known quite a few baldies who have no trouble getting women. Growing the little you have left long will make you look a **** though. Being short is being short and you will rightfully be judged for it by your peers.

How many times have they definitely revealed the killer now?

We don't actually know if they're wrong yet do we? We lost five players and a manager that we know for sure would do very well with us, we also had one or two other players left unsettled. That much we know. We hope that we've got in decent replacements that will work out and that will do a good job this season. Ramirez and Osvaldo were both considered widely to be a "class above" when they started their first seasons with us, but neither worked out. That could end up being the same with Tadic, Pelle or any of the others. So somebody's opinion that we've lost out this window could be right, could be wrong.

I don't care so much about when people like alpine make childish, knee-jerk, petulant statements from a position of no knowledge. It's only football after all. The reason I'm glad to see threads like these resurrected is that I hope the offenders learn a lesson to take into the wider world. These people are the same idiots who scream sensationalist, ill-informed nonsense on a variety of subjects that do matter. If they learn a bit of caution in their judgement, that's a good thing.

Posters who are unable to see that Long's dummy was deliberate are ****ing idiots.

When the chances weren't coming, Lambert used to drop deeper and try to create some openings, Pelle seems a bit more one dimensional so far, waiting for chances to be served up. I'd take off JWP for Long or Taider.

Funny, I've been keeping a close eye on this for a while as I use it as a discussion subject in oral exams. Less than a year ago, the yes vote was a very small proportion, now you couldn't call it. Everyone Scottish I know is pro independence, but on the other hand they all emigrated over here and can't vote. Cameron would be remembered in history solely as the leader who didn't manage to keep the union together, losing the second biggest member of the UK. I'd imagine he's dreading the vote and his possible legacy. for me, I hope it's a no vote. I think the Scottish are a big and important part of the British identity, I know many on here hate the idea of "Britishness" and only care about England, but not me. I've always had plenty of Scottish friends and think they actually complement the English personality pretty well. Also, if Scotland leave, they should really take the blue out of the Union Flag and that would just look terrible. So I'm backing a no.
