It’s certainly not a time to go with a United defender, as ‘makeshift’ is generous for the four they’re chucking out at present – and their midfield is ever-changing and unpredictable. So, somewhat obviously, the name that stands out is Wayne Rooney. His goal against Wolves made him the first player to reach 20 calendar goals in 2009 (ahead of Drogba, Torres, etc) and none less than Patrick Barclay was moved to describe his performance against Villa as one of the best he had seen in the history of the Premier League. Jump on that bandwagon.

Your right about the up and coming league games being there for the taking, even when The Villa come visiting. But over the last month Chelsea have started looking like a team that knows what it is doing all over the park, and without doubt are the form team, where as Arsenal made a pigs ear of their chances by not taking the Black Cats by the scruff of the neck and putting them out in the rain. Seems like Wenger is determined to do it his way, when everbody else can see that they need a midfield enforcer. I do wonder though how Chelsea will cope in January with a number of key players away for the African Cup, and will they be able to rediscover their rhythm when they return? I think that it's then that Utd need to turn up the heat. Sorry to disagree but I don't have any admiration for 'Fergie' (Sir ! what a joke) biggest club in Britain, maybe the World, and the budget to go with it, was blessed with the emergence of 'The Kids' all at once. He's a flat track bully who lacks grace and humility, also it was he who instigated the demise of the FA Cup.
