You'd really want PDC in charge? Granted, life would never be dull and there was a time when the whole South Bank used to wave in the same way as him but I reckon he's a bit too near Barking? And we're not talking Martin Mad Dog Allen either...would you prefer PDC to Bilic?

Meanwhile I wonder how good an idea the Udinese backed takeover at Watford looks to the Happy Hornets? Hugely unpopular with the Italian rank and file back home I understand as Watford are the second 'feeder' club, ahem partners, that the owners have decided to aquire, and the Italian fans would rather the investment was made at home. How's life at the Vicarage?

Sorry to moan on about my own team too much. BUT the same naive tactical error 2 weeks running. 5-4-1 change to 4-4-2 and go in front cos' 5-4-1 don't work, then when 1-0 up go BACK to 5-4-1 and whoopee back to 1-1. This bloke is an idiot, as i said last week Juande Ramos II. Then on match of the day he just talked S**T. As he did after nearly every interview at Chelsea last year. So I am STILL demanding the Chairman comes clean and tells us WHY??? he sacked Harry 4th 5th 4th in three seasons
By the way we went the Amstrad way in the transfer window. Instead of buying a 22 million player, by one for 6 million. Then spend 12 million on a goalie when the 41 year old played out of his skin AGAIN this week.

Must admit his tactics today were totally baffling, playing 2 holding midfielders at home to Norwich is crazy

I didnt rate him at Chelsea, and certainly not seen anything in 3 games this season to change my mind.

'Arry now a pundit on MOTD, bet he enjoyed the show tonight

It's been 2 holding midfielders BOTH home games now! What will he do when Scott Parker returns???? THREE????
It's all so similar to Chelsea last year, Getting rid of Van Der God, trying to sell Daws and is he trying to get rid of Brad, He looked well P****D off today! even giving evils to the Ball Boys

Forgot about the Dawson captaincy fiasco, everything just adds up to pure inadequacy.

Last season Spurs were everyones favourite second team (Arsenal fans excluded), this season I cant see them even finishing in the top 8 if they keep him.

I guess its a question if Levy is big enough to admit he f**ked up

2-1 down to Southampton with 5 minutes to go, Van persie had missed a penalty and the best team were winning. We managed to win 3-2 somehow but lets hope the result doesnt gloss over the performance.

United have been crying out for a strong defensive midfielder for 2 seasons now, but Fergie seems to think one isnt needed Step forward Michael crab Carrick, he isnt a defensive modfielder, he isnt a creative or attacking midfielder - I wish I knew what he is

Some poor performances, Ferdinand, carrick, Wellbeck, Cleverley and even Vidic. Cleverley is the same as Lucas from liverpool, he got injured when he was an average squad player, then during the time out they turned into a great player.

The likes of Chelsea, City, Newcastle will be relishing playing us this season, unless something changes.

Always a good sign when a team puts in a below par performance and picks up three points, something which Utd have become masters of over the last twenty years.

Don't know whats happened to Carrick, he was the best of a good bunch that came out of one of our better youth teams. Was gutted when he went to Spurs for whom he had a couple of stand out seasons, seems to have lost his way at Utd.

For all Southampton's huff and puff, unless Adkins sorts out the defence, they are vunerable and will struggle, as Wigan proved.
