Fulham are already safe but have said they will back any team wishing to take legal action, Whelan as also stated if Wigan stay up he will also back any team in legal action against the Prem and West Ham.

If Wgan had done the same I'd feel embarressed and would understand how fans felt and would admit we stayed up by cheating, no doubt you wont believe me but to be honest my word and honesty has been questiond on this thread twice so I couldn't care less if anybody believed me or not.

Of course I believe you

No need to throw me in with what other people might think

Woner if babs is getting either of these now

PING UKHS: I hope you're near a hospital as I fear for your heart in the next hour! I have the Hammers game on Sky and Wigan match on Five Live and MY heart is racing!

Both games are on Sky, if you have Sky and not cable you can even watch both games at the same time.

If I had been up on time I could have gotten a start for Man U.

ukhotstove · 05-13-2007, 12:25 PM

United put out a strong team, Ronaldo, Scholes and Giggs just come on I think we can be safe in saying United want to beat West Ham.

We could also vote for our Player of the Season who would represent the Team of the Season as Captain, who knows maybe even buy a cheap little trophy and send it to him at the start of next season and see if he replies

Howard
Clichy
Vidic
Carvahlo
Neville
Giggs
Arteta
Essien
Ronaldo
Drogba
Berbatov

G Neville

Man U could have put out cardboard cutouts of their players.

bababui · 05-13-2007, 12:59 PM

As the announcer said, you have to give the players credit for 4 wins to finish off the season. This was an amazing comeback and will likely be the subject of books for years and decades ahead, given the drama on and off the pitch.

Muppetus Galacticus · 05-13-2007, 01:04 PM

Congrats UKHS, great to see your lot remembered how to play!

It sounded like everything wuld go against them though with both centre-backs injured in the first half then go down to 10-men. Great stuff!

Oh come on! You can't compare a Premiership team to anyone else, there is only one league in the FA's eyes!

Michael Owen, playing again and included in an England B match coming up...breaks his face in a collision with his teammate! So unlucky for a while now.

It looks like its just a concussion..if he were an NHL player he would have stayed in the game.

Too true! Footballers are the biggest wimps in the sporting world. Half the time they are making it up anyway!
