There is zero chance that United will settle for anything but a win against Leiecster. SAF will sit Ruud for Saha and the only forward in the EPL who finishes worse than Heskey.

With Kleberson, Giggs, Scholes and Djemba in the midfield, they will still control possession against a brutal Leicester side.

Giggs and Djemba Djemba are both on the pine today. What's up with that?

THROW ME A BOOT HERE! :D

THROW ME A BOOT HERE! :D Hey now, the only times boots are thrown (or kicked) is in the direction of Becks' head in the training room! :D

They're on the bench, but they'll see action in the second half if the match is in question.

Just saw this trivia question, and missed it: What club has conceded the most goals in the history of the English Premier League? Being a Gunners fan, I guessed Spurs. I was wrong.

Anyone know without looking it up, which is what I had to do? :)

Hmm. Well, what other team has been in the EPL a long long time? As much as I love the Reds I'd guess Liverpool.

Now I'm stumped. Leeds? West Ham?

I would have to guess either Arsenal or United.

Of course, if we were talking for a season, it'd have to be Sunderland!

5th and 4th respectively. Spurs is actually 2nd, as I have seen.

The club is currently in the EPL.

3rd

The answer surprised me: Southampton, with 659 goals conceded, the most ever in EPL play.

But I thought maybe it was a shocker.

I probably would have guessed it eventually :D but I had no idea.

They beat L'pool 2 - nil this year. :(

Ugh, the b-squad gets the 1-nil win over Leicester with the only tally coming off the boot of Gary Freaking Neville.

Then again, I'd expect him to score over Diego Forlorn.

No way Man City is even top-10 on that list. At least in Keegan's time at Eastlands/Maine Road, City's rarely ever been blown out in a match, and the games they usually do lose are 1-0 or 2-1. Besides, City has enough ties this year to cross the Pacific Ocean.

That's true, unless you count Roy Keane kicking you out of windows.

I think Jim sent me that virus a couple times...that Rag bast!d...:p

Ugh, Brazil finally noticed Edu and is capping him for the first time for the friendly against Hungary.

They're only capping him because it will mean that he can't ever play for England. I see this more as a ploy to make sure that Edu can't put on another country's jersey rather than actually getting playing time that HE RICHLY DESERVES.

I hate this politiking about. It's football. Put your best players on it.

You hear me Sven? SUTTON > HESKEY ME> HESKEY MY MOTHER> HESKEY.

#18, sandwiched below Arsenal and above Derby County.

I'd have to say Arsenal, as they have the longest continuous run in the top flight.

Now if by the EPL, you mean only since what, 1993 when the Premiership started, that'd be a different story.
