When's the draw for the next rounds?

[red devil]

Next Friday...some good teams finished as runners-up in their group so Utd and L'Arse could get a very tricky draw.

Portsmouth have just denied they are going into Administration...Ratty, stop listening to gossip from your cleaner contact...;-)

[Ladygooner]

Birmingham 2 v 1 West Ham

Bolton 2 v 3 Man City

Burnley 1 v 1 Fulham

Chelsea 3 v 0 Everton

Hull 2 v 1 Blackburn

Man Utd 3 v 0 Aston Villa

Stoke 2 v 0 Wigan

Sunderland 2 v 0 Portsmouth

Tottenham 4 v 0 Wolverhampton

Liverpool 1 v 2 Arsenal

My first trip to Anfield this weekend - lets hope we win!

Using the bbc sport football predictor

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm

up to games ending 30th December

I have

Chelsea 49

Man Utd 47

Arsenal 41

Man city 38

Spurs 36

Liverpool 35

West ham 15th on 19 points

and at the bottom

Bolton 16

Wolves 14

Portsmouth 10

So the bottom 3 at Christmas go down off to the bookies I go

sorry if I have upset anyone but they are just my predictions and being an iron probably wrong.

Well, I did post straight after that Administration had been averted. Beginning to have suspicions about the person feeding me stuff and "cleaner" may not be far wrong. Lucklily I have a more reliable one who is definitely at the club, but who has been known to tell Storries now and again.

FWIW I think the club will go bust before the end of the season.

More times than most Man U fans then. Mind you it is a trek from Hampshire to Salford!!

[????]

We'll let you off then Keef. I'm continually amazed at the number of Man U 'fanatics' I meet who have been to OT less times than me

[Atila Reincarnate]

Don't be surprised quids, it's common knowledge.

[ratty]

Is Guildford in Hampshire or Surrey? More Man U shirts there than in Wancland!

[SimonM]

It's not just the deep South. The last time I walked through Meadowhall in Sheffield you could see more Man U shirts being worn than Sheffield United, W*dn*sd*y and Rotherham combined...It's just a nation-wide disease innit?!

[Atila Reincarnate]

Guildford surprises me cos thats Chavski land, as their training ground is not a million miles away.

What's Old Trafford?

A giant hyper market in a place called Salford

[SimonM]

It's a cricket ground where Lancashire play - and they sometimes play the odd test there too

[Sandperson]

I'm having flashbacks. This is the same conversation we had a few months back. In fact I think Simon has just cut and pasted the same post (the one about Sheffield)!

[Jah Lush]

The Daily Mash has got Liverpool covered.

Liverpool turning the corner

[mockney piers]

True enough Simon. Depressing numbers of evil Chelsea shirts in East London and Essex (never on match day though)

[SimonM]

i don't cut and paste. All my cliches are fresh-minted :))

Excellent read jah.

Think liverpool fans have to agree now that rafa has lost his way and it would be a good idea for the club to consider looking at a successor. Martin o neill or gus would sort things out pdq i reckon.
