Sorry, but I think that's total bo!!ocks! A manager of a team can field whoever they bloody want, and they will put their team first. Had Liverpool been playing the blades indtead of Fulham, he would have fielded the same team, and Warnock would have been happy about it! If (and this is unlikely) a Warnock team ever get to a cup final, you can bet your bottom dollar he will have that game in mind when selecting his team for the last couple of league games... Assuming of course that those games are not important to his team, which is also unlikely, as his team will probably be in a relegation scrap! >:D<
