    Only the Fulham game looks interesting as it's a 'top v bottom' match. I've seen Fulham play some decent stuff and they always look capable of keeping the score close, they have a -11 goal difference . Man Utd could go 2 points clear, at the top, but Man City could go above them if they lose.

    Man City currently top despite being 'average' according to some.

    Fulham beating Man Utd 1-0 despite being 'doomed' according to some.

    Man U havent had a penalty for nearly 90 mins. Must be due at least 1 in the 2nd half :emoticon-0102-bigsm.

    Fulham have had some tough matches but all seem to be playing for each other ...

    ... I thought they were down but now I'm not sure.

    I think Parker is an intelligent bloke who likes to play good football. I hope they do survive.

    I had a message, before Bruce was appointed, to say he was being considered by Newcastle ...

    ... I wouldn't like that.

    He's intelligent, plays to his teams strengths and can spot a good player.

    He'd be a much better Newcastle manager than Bruce tbh.

    I agree about the Parker comments, I think he will develop into a very good manager.
    He was a canny player imo, one of those underatted workhorses.

    Very surprised Man Utd are where they are tho.

    Ole played for SAF for a long time. If you cannot learn from him then there is no hope.

    I know what you are saying but it didn't work out for carlos Quires (spell check alert! :emoticon-0102-bigsm). Most top managers weren't necessarily top players. Wenger played less than 150 games and Mourinho played less than 100 and were a bit **** as players. Don't think Fergie pulled up any trees either.
