    Pool/United
    De Gea
    Johnson Smalling Skrtel Shaw
    Carrick Henderson
    Coutinho Sterling Young
    Rooney

    Subs Fellaini Lovren Blind Mata Sturridge Di Maria

    Barca/Real
    Stegen
    Alves Pique Ramos Alba
    Busquets Kroos Modric
    Messi Ronaldo Neymar

    Subs Bale Suarez Rodriguez Iniesta Isco Pepe

    And a combined combined XI

    De Gea
    Alves Pique Ramos Alba
    Busquets Kroos Modric
    Messi Ronaldo Neymar

    Subs Bale Suarez Rodriguez Iniesta Isco Pepe

  2. Reviewing your post as a neutral in this - yes - I'd say you've got that about right, EC.

    Alternatively, I'd play de Gea - Lovren, Skrtel, Jones - Valencia, Fellaini, Henderson, Blind, Rojo - Lambert, Rooney and just kick 'em

  4. Gerrard can't play, of course, because he's now banned for three matches.

    who gives a **** what the North West think, anything north of London is uglier than a back of a fridge !!

  7. There's only one match that the neutrals consider to be a classic, and that's the North London Derby.

    Some (but not necessarily me) watch that match wondering if there are any signs of a shift in power, apparently.

    Not sure who told you that United v Liverpool is the biggest tie in the world Mrs Price (was it in the Daily Mail?) but this evening's Barca v Real game has been very entertaining so far.

    Mata may disagree with your combined United and Liverpool team given his performance this afternoon.

    Word count?

    We have the world's best players like Maradona and Pele attending the United/Livpl derbies, you lot have David O'fcking Leary <laugh> There's a reason why United/Livrpl and Real/Barca are the best known and most watched derbies in the world... the clubs #success :)

  10. Treble, I'll have you know that we have such talents as Piers Morgan (Arsenal) and Chaz n Dave (Spurs) attend the North London Derby.

    And, never forget, that United has, among its fan-base, Jedward. I'd rather eat my own face than support the same team as Jedward.

    To be fair it could be worse than having Jedward as a celebrity fan(s). Could be Daniel Levy!

    I'm Spurs, and even I'd rather have Levy than those two douche bags!...

    Jedward can't sell United's best players. Levy must be getting a hard one thinking about how much he can sell Kane for and looking forward to another pat on the head from Master Lewis.

    Levy has only sold top players when they have forced a move. Berbatov, Modric, and Bale all made it clear that they wanted to go, Berbatov and Modric virtually went on strike to force a move. All Levy could go in the circumstances was get the most he could for them.

    Levy's faults lie in his selection of managers. The jury is still out on Pochettino, for me anyway. Apart from that, his only other successes were Jol & Harry, both of whom were forced on him after having to sack his latest ****-up.

    Whole host of players who could be used instead of Neymar. None of which play for Liverpool though.

    Aside from the keeper I don't think i'd have anybody from our league in a Barca/Real combined XI.
