You'll have to ask the guys that selected it Norf...would have thought Malouda had slightly better month than Drogba?

[Norf Tyrone]

Lee Cattermole. Red card. Again!

Lee Cattermole. Red card. Again!

quelle surprise

[paco]

This was probably his first match back from suspension. Poor man's Steven Gerrard.

[muppet]

Season going as predicted.

Chelski, Arse and Manure at the top.

Sunderland, Blackpool and Wolves battling to get into top four.

Liverpool and Everton need to improve to be sure of avoiding relegation.

[Dinny Breen]

Blackpool siiting pretty in 4th...

[ross4life]

Newcastle 0-2 Blackpool result of the day?

Manchester United players have dominated a poll conducted to determine the greatest Premier League XI ever.

Valencia 'back in February'
Hodgson 'right to rest stars'
Over 260,000 fans worldwide voted on Barclays Football Facebook page to pick the ultimate XI, with United - by far the most successful team of the Premier League era - providing seven players past and present.

United keeper Peter Schmeichel beat off the competition to win his place in between the sticks, while Gary Neville and Patrice Evra occupy the full-back positions.

The highly decorated Ryan Giggs gets the nod on the left hand side of midfield after a glittering career spanning the entire existence of the Premier League, while fellow veteran and the equally evergreen Paul Scholes takes his place in the middle.

David Beckham claimed more votes than his fellow United number seven Cristiano Ronaldo to line up on the right while Eric Cantona, the man widely credited with sparking United's incredible run of success back in the 1992-93 season, plays up front.

Just for good measure, United provide the manager too, Sir Alex Ferguson leading the side from the bench having won an overwhelming 64 per cent of the vote.

Liverpool's talismanic Steven Gerrard breaks up United's dominance in midfield, while Chelsea's John Terry and Arsenal legend Tony Adams - both great leaders of men - were voted on to the team at centre-back.

Completing the team is Thierry Henry of Arsenal, who lines up alongside Cantona in an all French forward line.

But there were no places for the likes of Roy Keane, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira or Alan Shearer in the elite XI.

I'll have what Big Sam's having...

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce believes he is good enough to manage any of Europe's top clubs.

Allardyce, once a candidate for the England manager's job, arrived at Ewood Park in 2008 having survived at Newcastle for less than half a season.

Ahead of his team's clash with Fulham, the 55-year-old said: "I would be more suited to Inter Milan or Real Madrid.

"It wouldn't be a problem for me to manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time."

Although happy in his current role, Allardyce added: "Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn't be a problem.

"It's not a problem to take me into the higher reaches of the Champions League or Premier League and would make my job a lot easier in winning it."

[AZOffaly]

Is that the real Sam Allardyce or the fake one on Tiwitter. Sounds like something the latter would say.

Glad a certain Portuguese player didn't get selected! IMO Irwin was better than Evra & would pick Keane instead of Beckham

[paco]

Was thinking the same about Irwin, would probably have Ashley Cole ahead of Evra too. Possibly Shearer ahead of Cantona as well.

[ross4life]

Yep Shearer is the all time top premier league goal scorer while i don't think there was a more influential premiership player than Cantona

Lampard instead of Gerrard?
