I think Heskey has some free time.

It will be Rooney, Welbeck, Defoe

the others depend if they bring 4 or 5, normally 4 but with Rooneys suspension they may drop a midfielder or defender (considering a guy like Phil Jones can play CM, CB, and RB)

I think 1 of Carroll, Crouch, Holt, Zamora are the 4th. Likely in that order of possibility, and if they bring a 5th it's Sturridge

Some over here think Crouch. Probably no to Grant Holt.

Too bad no Darren Bent.

Patrice Evra believes that Man U can still win the title if they beat Sunderland in a landslide - regardless of what City do. If Fergie's old lap dog Steve Bruce were still in charge at the Stadium of Light, I'd be worried, very worried. And I don't half mind Bruce as a manager.

8 goals? Thats a big, big ask. Sunderland arent terrible, although it would be hilarious to see them totally take a dive just so United could win. It would make the whole thing a joke though, really cheapen the value of the domestic title if people basically figure that United have rigged the table.

I stuck £10 on Sunderland at 13/2.

Got 8/1 on Fulham. Another £10 on that.

Logic being if Sunderland or Fulham play their opponents in what is a pressure free environment, they'll beat them in at least 1 of 6 or more games.

gotta try to get up early tomorrow to watch City QPR

Likelihood of this happening: low

[Montana Moe]

This will be one of the few Sundays that I'll be happy getting off work at 6am, Open Championship weekend being another. All 10 matches are being broadcast live tomorrow in the U.S.

I'd like to say I'll have my remote control working overtime, but I'll likely be fixated on whether Arsenal actually shows up against WBA.

Apologies for this being in the wrong thread.

Rangers: Charles Green agrees takeover deal for club

Former Sheffield United chief executive Charles Green has agreed a deal to buy Scottish Premier League side Rangers.
Green, 59, whose £8.5m bid is backed by a global consortium, hopes Rangers can exit administration through a Company Voluntary Arrangement, a concern for fans keen to retain the club's history.

This is interesting, I wonder if Rangers FC are going to become Manchester Untied north with a plurality of club supporters residing in Asia?

At Sunday morning's media conference at Murray Park, the club's training base, Green revealed that there are 20 individuals in the consortium from Asia, the Middle East, Far East and the UK. "We want to develop the brand in these areas where there's an appetite," said Green.

QPR really going for it ...... . Only a matter of time.

In fairness though, going for it more than united did.

[Montana Moe]

Well, Arsenal started out looking sharp, then got jittery with a 1-0 lead. 2-1 West Brom after some sketchy defensive play by a patchwork back line.

[Barnet Flame]

West Brom's first was two yards offside, but Chesney has been god awful.

Atta boy Rooney, just 7 more like that. What are the odds the official gives the Roonster 7 penalty kicks today? I'd say 50/50.

[Bagor]

Uh-oh.

Bolton winning and QPR losing.

[moon]

Who are the two Arsenal homers doing the commentary in that game?

Sound like Hughson during a Canucks game.

Hopefully WBA abd QPR can have big second halfs.

[Bagor]

A lot of weird goals today.

[NBC]

Hopefully not.

Come on City!
