Westwood's corner away at Liverpool was good and led to the goal.

Would have been ideal if his body was still up to it. I think he's a busted flush though.

An unfortunate choice of words given the nature of the condition from which he was suffering.

Given supertom's penchant for updating and keeping alive the defecating thread in Off-Topic I'm not sure he can help toilet talk from constantly haunting his consciousness.

Interesting that most of the players we seem to have been linked with are defensive midfielders.  If Delph stays in January then I would say we are pretty sorted in the defensive areas.  What we really need are some differenty options in the attacking third.

Nope. I'm cursed.
Even as I type this I'm feeling a shifting in my guts telling me an update on the shithouse thread is soon in order.

Report: Sunderland and Aston Villa enter race for Manchester United's Darren
Fletcher :
"  Aston Villa and Sunderland are both interested in the possibility of singing Darren Fletcher, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

The Manchester United midfielder has struggled for first-team chances this season and it is thought that his time at the club could be coming to an end.

Fletcher is reportedly keen to stay at Old Trafford, but he has only six months remaining on his contract meaning that his hands are tied somewhat.

It leaves Sunderland and Villa hoping to capitalise on this uncertainty over his future, as they believe he could be available on a cut-price deal in the next transfer window.

Fletcher has been forced out of the team by United's high-profile summer additions, while the return of Michael Carrick from injury has moved him even further down the pecking order.

The Scotland international has been at United for the entirety of his career, but as he enters the twilight of it he won't be happy to simply sit on the bench.

Fletcher is now 30 years old and he realises that his chance to play would be far greater if he were to join Sunderland or Villa " .

Surprised to see that he is 30 already.............if he comes on a freebie then we get a  strong , experienced mid-field leader with a few good years left ......Godzvilla!

Yes, surprised he's still quite young. Not kept tabs on him too much since his comeback - does he look like he's lost any of his previous ability, pace etc.?

Robbie Keane on a short term loan?

37 apps and 23 goals this year tells me another short term loan would be an excellent idea.

I'd take him back. It could give us a useful option for a few months on the off chance we get any injuries. He could also play the number 10 role pretty well too.

Clint Dempsey could also be an option to play that role on a short term basis.

It's a big thumbs up from me for either, swaying towards Keano though, the link up play with the big man would be great to watch.
