You're obviously not gonna get a world class striker on a Bosman, but I think the best striker available on a free this summer was Chamakh, and he rejected us. I've never really seen Jovanovic, but most of the people on the form say he'll be a solid squad player who could surprise a few people when he plays, whilst some others have totally ruled him out as not good enough.

I've seen no confirmation about Torres' injury yet but going by Benitez's comments, it doesn't look good. Let us all pray that he wins us the Europa League, goes for an op, misses the World Cup and has a summer of rest for once!

So Hawwy Wedknapp says the pitch wasnt fit for horses yesterday, is that because his bunch of donkeys choked I wonder?

That pitch is a f-cking joke though.

Makes me laugh over the Wembley pitch. Or any pitch that pro's play on. How many people slug it out on a bog up and down the country every saturday and sunday and have to pay £3 for the pleasure. These pro's get paid £40,000 a week and complain that the grass cut up. Oh boo woo, most people only dream of playing on a surface as good as Wembley.

Also, made me laugh after the League Cup final, James Milner was moaning about the Wembley pitch on the Sunday, yet gegging for a place in the England team on the Wednesday on the same pitch, stop moaning rich kids.

Absolutely nothing we could have done today. 10-0-0 from Fulham from the 1st minute, they even had a free kick at the end and decided to run to the corner with the ball, you wouldn't believe they're a premier league side their tactics are so small time.

I probably come across as bitter but I was hoping for a bit of a game today, Fulham came, put every player inside or just outside the box, it was embarrassing to watch Fulham come to our ground to block. We should have won, we're a much better side than them but there was literally nothing we could have done against that, they literally built two walls in front of the box and refused to budge. That's our 4th chances all gone, I thought our subs could have been a bit more adventurous but it wouldn't have made any difference, Fulham got what they came for and Hodgson will be branded a hero for showing a complete inability to get his side to play football.

I'm loving Rafa's job this season, funny thing is though it'll all blow up in my and every other Utd fans face when you finish 6th (which is likely now in my eyes) and not even in Europe next season, but win the Europa League and sneak into Europe that way instead... although if the Torres out for the season story is true then i dont think you'll manage to win the Europa at all.

Another funny thing was Mickey Quinn on TalkSport saying that he'd rather Liverpool win the Europa than finish 4th
