I dunno, he's good but he probably wouldn't get in the team above Bosingwa, assuming he's fit. Doubt he'd come back to us just to warm the bench.

what do you think, Johnno back to Chelsea?

Bit harsh to dismiss this as 'anti-united' bias just because he doesn't rate that grease ball Ronaldo, especially when he spends much time praising the likes of Vidic and Tevez.

Good team, though the best manager of the year is clearly Owen Coyle ;)

top marks for recognizing the likes of jagielka and schwarzer, that's a connoisseur's team right there.

even as an arsenal fan i have to agree that lamps has been underrated lately, fans are a fickle lot indeed, bu tim sure theyll come around if he wins us the world cup next year.

personally i think arshavin is class good call there, not sure anyone else from arsenal really was good enough for a team of the season this year. nasri WILL be class though.

Don't get me wrong, rio is a top player, but vidic is the real hero in that defense IN MY OPINION. And sorry, I definitely don't rate berba as much as tevez, not least of all because he's older, and he cost even more than tevez would cost you.

As for the diving thing, note I didn't even mention Drogba, even though I am a Chelsea fan.

Seriously, there's so much anti man utd feeling in your football posts that it's difficult to take them seriously. Overrated Rio? "Retards" prefering Berbatov to Tevez? Ronaldo's freekicks immediately dismissed since "most... won by diving"?

Take it from a (hopefully not too biased) man utd fan: I'd love to keep Tevez but, if I had to choose, I would go with Berbatov every time. The man is proven quality and shouldn't be judged following one so-so season (He still got 14 goals for us) Is Tevez really worth £25m+ in a credit crunch?

As for "overrated" Rio. I guess it's a matter of opinion, but our run of clean sheets should be enought to dismiss that one. I think that Vidic looked more vulnerable against real quality (eg Torres) than Ferdinand.

As for Ronaldo - well, he's a diver and a moaner like so many other stars, but is also genuinely one of the 3 best players in the world. I guess we can live with it, as Chelsea manage to do with Drogba. Funny how Gerrard gets in the team despite the nightclub incident?

Anyway, congrats on the FA cup. Ancelotti has some big shoes to fill!
