      Everyone thought they would struggle after they sold Enrique, Carroll, Nolan and Barton but they are even better now.

      QPR played them off the park in Loftus Road few weeks ago, they are playing big 3 after Everton so we'll have bettter idea of what they are made of after that.

      Yeah throw in Rio Feridinand and Sauarez it all gets very messy black and blue and red all over.
      Interesting rowan ricketts was racially abused playing for shamrock rovers against POAK in Europa League. But he just gave the guy abusing him the thumbs up. Then at half time he purposely grabbed a bannana he saw at half time. He made sure the crowd saw him eat it.
      He sad the crowd ended up cheering for him and all the nastiness was taken out of the situation.

      Their wide men aren't there for width but pace. In theory their wingers are quick to get up to support Crouch/Jones after the big long-ball etc. The narrow pitch helps Delap (they had to widen it for their Europa games incidentally, Euro rules etc)...

          It's a bit risky, but you could get RvP in for Rooney now, then bring Hernandez in for Suarez after he's played Swansea. When Hernandez plays, he'll score well, the new bonus system will really suit him (he always hits the target) - only problem is he won't play as many games as Rooney.
