Just looking at the league table now, I never realized 'Boro were doing so poor, I actually think they'll go down which is quite a shame, because done really well with their academy over recent years, it'd be a shame if they were to go down after so much good work.

I think 'Boro, West Brom and Stoke could go down. Although Mowbray's attitude has been refreshing, they've been awful and they're far too spineless to stay up. 'Boro can be a really competitive team on their day, but they lack so much consistency and I think that will cost them. As for Stoke, I think they lack a lot in attack but their physical football could just keep them up against the tired teams towards the back end of the year, however, it will be a massive ask and I think them and Hull City will scrap it out to stay up.

I just wish we had a bitter whinger like Warnock in the mix, his rants are class.

I think Newcastle will go down if they lose to us next week as they have a tough run in

Hopefully now we won on Wednesday it will give the lads that much needed confidence and now we can kick on and get them 3 vital wins that will keep us up

Sorry, when you're talking about diving, are you talking about Ronaldo or Gerrard? Can't tell, both great examples of big divers.

If only Saf and Benitez would take a leaf out of Arsene's book and get rid of diving players...

Now you've been outed you finally turn up on here Lenny.

You're a dick tbh.

If only Arsene could take a leaf out of "Saf"'s book and build a team that can actually defend and win stuff.

They have done. In 2012, when Ronaldo finally leaves to join Real Madrid, it won't be the 100m pound transfer fee that creates the move, it will be Ferguson's hatred of his diving. When Gerrard retires from Liverpool at the age of 35 it won't be old age that caused Liverpool not to offer him another deal, it will be his diving.

In the meantime, maybe Rafa can return the favour by giving Wenger his guide to the UEFA Cup?

Let's face it, the inconsistency is not just simply the 'subjectivity of the rules'. It's all also due to the incredible amount of pressure that managers, like Ferguson andc Wenger, put on officials. Ferguson will even 'go to town' on an official sometimes when he surely knows there was nothing wrong with the way the match was officated. He sometimes does it to protect his players. Meanwhile, these refs are getting slated in the press, receiving death threats and the likes. Good ole Fergie and his mind games, eh? What a guy

Always comes back around to being Utd's fault eh.

Pires too, obviously the likes of Eboue never do it.
