RVP is injured - amazing player, but he's made of glass!

He'll be fine. I wouldnt be surprised if Slur Alex told him to feign injury after a half so he's fit for Saturday:w00t:

Great to see Fletcher back.. just a superb pro. Lovely lad, honest, aggressive, hard working, good player... proper old school pro.

Wow! that was an emotional start to the Liverpool/Man Utd match. Just hope its as good a match as the Liverpool/City one

A big weekend..

Massive win for MU.. not great, not good.. but we won.. winning when playing poorly.. there hasn't been a better team at grinding out results..

Terry retirement is no issue.. great captain, even though he's an absolute shite.. was a great player.. but was.. no loss now and won't be around for 2014.. I thought Rio should have gone to 2012.. but think neither should be involved from now on.. Rio could well develop as a sweeper if we go 3-5-2.. but think Smalling, Jones, Cahill, Jagielka, Lescott + others are our future now. Hart is here for a decade so think we need to build a back 3 and let them get on with it..

Great win for Leeds last night!! Pity I couldn't be arsed going to the pub for this one as I definately thought we'd lose!! Roll on the never ending take over, and the January window.

Roll on the never ending take over, and the January window.

Rumours this morning that Bahraini investment firm GFH Capital Ltd are taking over Leeds United. Is it finally happening at long last?

I believe GFH are the company doing the negotiations for the purchase on behalf of a 'Dubai group'. Here's hoping its sorted soon!! Then all we have to worry about is who these people are, and have they actually got much cash!!

Yes I think you're right, they're just the brokers. Probably just as well as from what I've read, GFH don't seem that healthy!

There's some chatter about other 'investors' hovering too. Saudi and US? Looks like he's going to sell. Its just a matter of being patient now...
