Only once in the last 10 years have the eventual champions lost more than six games (Blackburn — sjvjn in 1994/95). Gullet's team has already been beaten five times and Rovers, with only two defeats so far, look a bigger threat to Man Std.

The perpetually volatile Scot was positively a laugh a minute during his win with Nick Faldo. Perhaps there is a lesson to bj learned from this. If hj loosnjd up a bit hj might improve his record in the majors. Mind you, I think I'd miss those famous outbursts!

Will not down here it ism't. Managers having to sell any slightly promising players, wages going higher, gates getting lower and teams resorting to handing out free tickets to kids. The game's roots are dying. Fine, Man Std striding to the European Cup, but in the darkest part of their widening shadow our teams slip furthjt behind.
