We were struggling this week. Crippled by a cold that was verging on deadly man-flu, I made a miracle recovery without the aid of placenta treatment to struggle into the studio to infect/accompany Mark on another podcast.

My ailments were not my only curse; only last weekend my extraordinary run of missing out on penalty saves continued when Tim Krul (no pun intended, but I’ll take it), palmed away Lampard’s effort. Inevitably, I’d left the Dutchman on my bench.

Mark refuses to buy the fact I’ve missed out on a penalty save for five years, diverting the discussion towards the mini-league gap, chatter on Van der Vaart and debate over United’s plight at both ends of the field.

The usual smattering of regulars are all present and semi-correct – if you can understand a word I’m saying, you might just enjoy it all.

        Agree with the Drenthe and Bendy bandwagon but I only started the poll after that gameweek so can't include it. There were probably other big names bandied about that week which were successfull but we can't remember them, Bale perhaps?

        The Yak is on the radar for a few people, perhaps more so than Vermaelin, I will consider it

        Defo VDV to Bale but Allen to Walcott and Ade to YAK if you think this will net you a clear 8 points more than if you didn't transfer. And in the case of Ade he could easily bag a couple to will YAK score 8 ponts more? I dont think he'll get 4 goals again?

        I'm swapping Aguero to Yak tho'!

            Sorry haha, I was thinking out loud! I was just saying that I feel wrong captaining RVP, because when he scores he'll be detracting points from Baines who I'm also playing, so I sort of don't want him to score big. Like Mac said though, I'm playing Baines for attacking points... but then I also have Vermaelen, so Baines scoring = no Vermaelen cleanie. But then I'm playing Verm for attacking points.... lol, waffling on!

    Think the argument that United's defence will be leaky as per the start of the season is a little unfounded. yes we'll have to attack more and can't hope to grab a goal then sit back like in previous games, but whoever out of Carrick, Jones and Fletch plays will be more defensive than the Anderson/ Cleverley pairing and will give the back 4 more cover.

      Genius is possibly the most devalued word in the English language, joining 'world class' a phrase equally banded about by people who are neither geniuses, nor world class.

      In terms of football management, the only people who could ever be considered even a tiny bit worthy of the tag are the likes of Brian Clough, Bob Paisley (and I might be stretching it here but I loved the man) Sir Bobby Robson, and in modern football - probably just Ferguson and possibly Del Bosque.

      AVB has potential, but he's just an apprentice.

      Lindegaard won't start every game. De Gea will play 75% of the time. Even if he does make mistakes, there is still plenty of time to make up for it and why would fergie pay out 18m on a 20/21 year old keeper if he had no faith in him to be a world class number 1.. Lindegaard was second choice to VDS last season, if Fergie considered Lindegaard to be that good, he wouldn't have brought De Gea in.

          My missus is like a kebab.

          I only fancy her when I'm drunk, and when I wake up in the morning I'm much more aware of her fat content.

          Only joking, I don't have a missus 😆

            If she did exist, and she was a kebab.. She'd probably be the best kebab in the world.. plus sweet chilli sauce 😀

      Wouldn't necessarily refer to them as kebabs, when i got home and opened it, i was like..... ''Kewhat?''

        Did you know a kebab contains the equivalent of a wine glass full of cooking oil? 😮
