In the spirit of namedropping, I had a brief chat with Mike Summerbee in the pub last night, who had just been to the match at Old Trafford. He said pretty much the same as you, and that United were murdered all over the ground.

Fulham have been the impressive team of the season for me, and together with Steve Bruce, Coleman would the manager of the year so far. I don't expect they will keep up their current form, but think they will be well clear of relegation come May. Hope so anyway.

I admit I am quite the admirer of Chris Coleman, give he came back from horrific leg injuries in a car accident a few years ago.

I can't remember if he broke one or two legs, but suffice to say he was pretty f*cked up. Pretty sure he was told he wouldn't play again, proved the doubters wrong and got another cap for Wales before retiring. A sort of Jason McCartney style comeback if you will.

I remember chatting to Clucas at the start of the year about "Cookie" taking over at Fulham - he said they'd go straight down, but I was never convinced. Whilst I'm not happy at United's performance, maybe now people will take Fulham seriously? They didn't come to get a point, they came for all three and got them.

Wish Leeds would take note, they haven't gone out and actually tried to win a match all year. Monkey Man has got to go!!

Leeds will struggle to get apoint if they try to outplay their opposition each week. They just don't have the players to do that. Reid is doing as well as any manager would in the same position.

A bluenose at Old Trafford?

Why wasn't he watching the Bitters? Or was he working for the press?
Just taking advantage of a bit of corporate hospitality I think.

The blip normally comes a little bit later no?

I would have thought we sucked in mid-November to late-December?

Hopefully we have some big wins again over big clubs, only to lose to Blackburn and Middlesbrough in the weeks after. :D
