The appointment of Sbragia is almost a carbon copy of the mistake we made with Roeder - a nice guy who doesn't really have what it takes to be a manager, who was given the job on a temporary basis and ended up getting it full time because of a tempory upturn in form that was in reality due to the absence of the previous manager rather than the arrival of the new one.
Also, Fergie isn't going to do either of us any favours on Sunday - sounds like he's not even playing his second string and word is fourth choice keeper Ben Amos is going to be between the sticks
Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland are unlikely to be happy but Ferguson admits he will utilise the full depth of his squad when picking his side to face Hull.Strong options
"This is the best squad I have ever had," said Ferguson. "I could have picked two teams and I will be picking a team next Sunday which will reflect that.
"I have a fantastic squad of about 28 or 29 players to choose from with the introduction of (Federico) Macheda, (Danny) Welbeck, (Rodrigo) Possebon and the Da Silva twins.
"I know they're young but they're very good players. I'm as confident for the final as I possibly can because we've won the league so we'll be going to Rome with a fresh team."

Here's the BNP supporting our brave boys again
BNP: war hero Johnson Beharry only got medal because he is blackThe British National Party has provoked outrage after claiming that the Iraq war hero Johnson Beharry was only awarded the Victoria Cross because he is black.
By Ben Leach
Published: 9:00AM BST 17 May 2009
The BNP, led by Nick Griffin, called Johnson Beharry "an immigrant" and claimed his heroics, which saved the lives of 30 fellow soldiers, were simply "routine".
On its website the far-right political party states that Lance Corporal Beharry only received Britain's top military honour because of "positive discrimination by the PC-mad government".
It comes just days after the party held an Armed Forces Awareness Day to try to portray themselves as "the only party that supports our troops".
They've also been distributing leaflets headed "Gurkhas Must Leave" with the face of Kumar Pun, killed fighting for the British in Afghanistan, with his face crossed out. Only party to support British Troops indeed...

Sunderland losing last night has given us an extra small lifeline. Means if we win (a very big if based on some of our spineless performances) then Hull have to beat Man U reserves and Sunderland have to beat Chelsea for us to go down.
NUFC, Hull & Sunderland & Boro all lose or all draw - NUFC & Boro go down
NUFC & Hull lose, Boro win - NUFC & Hull go down
NUFC lose, Hull draw & Boro win - NUFC & boro go down anyway

Off to Villa Park next weekend, nervous as fuck. Mackems still singing about Alan Shearer rather than about Sunderland last night, you'd think they'd have more important things to worry about...
-
Bollocks. Disallowed goal aside we've completely failed take the opportunity we made last week to haul ourselves out that this mess. Now we need something at Villa Park and we've got to cross our fingers that everyone else does us a favour as well.
Also, sorry DuD
A PREMIER League soccer star is caught preparing for his club's relegation battle . . . by scoring a £420 bag of COCAINE and CANNABIS from a drug dealer.West Brom striker Roman Bednar is pictured brazenly buying drugs from a peddler in a Merc outside his home only hours after playing in his side's win against Wigan last weekend.

People who think the BNP speak sense clearly haven't read their policies. Even when you get away from anything about race last time I read their manifesto they were talking about mandatory ownership of assault rifles and ammo for everyone who'd done military service (which was also going to be mandatory)
Found this pretty funny as well the "People Like You Voting BNP" they keep putting in their leaflets don't actually exist and the photos they use for some of these imgainary characters are actually foreigners.
http://www.newspeak.org.uk/2009/05/13/british-national-party-voters-dont-exist/
Im not certain it would. I think the BNP would see that the Gurkhas have actually put something in to the country.Uhuh
Nick Griffin yesterday branded Gurkhas "mercenaries" who should not be allowed to stay in Britain.
The leader of the far-right British National Party said: "We don't think the most overcrowded country in Europe, can realistically say, 'Look, you can all come and all your relatives.' "When the Gurkhas signed up - frankly as mercenaries - they expected a pension which would allow them to live well in their own country." Griffin made the comments on Nicky Campbell's BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast show.
Martin Howe, solicitor to the Gurkhas, said: "Nick Griffin does not recognise the depth of feeling around the country about the Gurkhas." Griffin also claimed football stars Rio Ferdinand and Theo Walcott were not English..

I'd normally not care about this game beyond my Fantasy Football and Know The Score leagues, but I'd really like Man U to need a result on the last game of the season so they don't play a load of kids against Hull.
-
What a cock-end Dave Whelan is, saying it would be a shame if Wigan beat Man United.
-
Fantastic in terms of beating Real Madrid 4-0 and winning 4-1 at Old Trafford, in terms of losing 2-0 to Boro and dropping points to Stoke and Wigan, not so much - which is why Liverpool are so great in the Champions League where every games a huge game and their fans and players are really up for it, but can't finish top over the course of a season when week in, week out they've got to travel to places like Craven Cottage.
Also
-
West Brom could be a tricky one for Liverpool, considering that their players and their fans often fail to turn up and put a shift in unless they're playing Man U or Real Madrid.
-
Just discovered that apparently there's no such thing as a black briton or an asian briton.
Seems strange that when the BNP supposedly want us to be patriotic we apparently can't celebrate the achievements of Brits like Kelly Holmes, Lewis Hamilton and Rio Ferdinand. Maybe we should give back the medals etc they won, after all Britain didn't really win, it was "racial foreigners."
-
Get in, amazing atmosphere last night and a massive 3 points. Well done to Whitley as well, wish I could have gone down for it with my mates but I had work.
They nearly scored what would have surely gone down as one of the best goals ever scored at the new Wembly
-
Right, I know this is a couple of pages ago now, but seriously... you're deluding yourself. Read any report on the internet about the match and even Arsene Wenger admits that it was a 'very harsh' decision to send him off. And you KNOW that when he says something is harsh, then it is harsh.
But that's not the point in terms of if he should be allowed to play or not. The rules are that you can't appeal. Now I disagree with the rules and I think they should be changed, but you can't change the rules half way through the compeition because it's Man U, it's the final and it was a dodgy decision. What happens to the people who've been banned already earlier on in the compeition and served their bans because there was no appeal process? What if those people had played and changed the course of the game? if the rules are going to be changed, they need to be changed for next year, not half way through just because the rule's had a negative impact on a big team.
-
Maybe someone should give Drogba a copy of this
-
I can tell you that the BBC gets complaints pretty much every week from people who think that their team is always on last on the programme, that the pundits hate their team and that the editing is biased.

I'd love to see that orange mackem bastard Phil Brown go down instead of us. Would piss off all of these "Oooh, oooh, I'd love to see Newcastle go down" wankers as well. Why the fuck do you care? Keep saying Newcastle aren't a big club and then Man U and Boro are fucking singing about us when they're playing each other, is anyone singing about West Brom and Boro going down? Are they fuck.
Heard the Stoke fans are going to the match with orange facepaint and fake mics
There are plenty of clubs like Leeds, Forest, Charlton, Norwich, Ipswich and the Sheffield clubs lower down the divisions that deserve to be in the top flight more than plastic nothing clubs like Boro, Wigan, Bolton, Blackburn and Hull with their foam hands and crap fans, if you want to root for the underdog get behind those lot coming up rather than rooting for Hull to stay up.
-
Come on Villa. Glad to see Geovanni and Cousins having a lovers tiff and having to be separated, exactly what we need.
-
<--
I have to say, the real injustice is that out of us (Newcastle), Sunderland, Hull and Boro, two of us will stay up. None of the teams in the bottom five are premiership level based on current form, they're all absolutely woeful and as bad as each other. Would be surprised for any of them to pick up a point all season, except that us and Boro have a cripple fight next week where at least one of us have to get some points.
-
Boro and Man U both still so obsessed with Shearer that they're singing about him rather than supporting their team or having a go at the opposition
-
I'm not bitter, I didn't have any favourite for the award. But the fact he's won almost everything at club level is irrelevent for a player of the year award. Give him a "won almost everything at club level over a long career award" instead and give the player of the year award to the best player of the year.
-
I agree with Danny, 'ignorent' 'immagrents' should 'absaltuly' learn English.
-
If they wanted to give Giggs a lifetime achievement award, then they should have done that, rather than giving him player of the year award when he's clearly not been the best player in the league this year. It makes a mockery of the award, takes it away from up and coming players who could have done with it and, to be honest, it's really patronising to Ryan Giggs himself in my opinion. Nicky Butt's coming up to retirement (please, god) and he's never really been recognised in such a way either. Seems a shame that, let's give him Young Player of the Year.

Happy St. George's Day to every English bugger here.
And people living in Germany, Spain, Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia; Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Macedonia, Moscow in Russia, Genova in Italy, Ljubljana in Slovenia, Beirut in Lebanon, Qormi and Victoria in Malta and Palestine, where it's also celebrated :P

Seems implausible... we already have a manager
Well, no. We have Chris Hughton, a coach, and we have Joe Kinnear, a stopgap who is laid up with a scar from his neck to his ankle.

Fergie's got every right to play whoever he wants in the last game, he's earned that luxury. If we or any other team go down we've only got ourselves to blame for not picking up the points beforehand, when it's always going to be the case that on the last day your rivals' opponents may have nothing to play for. Of course on the other hand this is the same Fergie who accused Leeds of not trying against Newcastle, when they would play out of their skins against Man U, something I think would have landed most other managers with an FA charge...
