Wahey! Leeds won and they are out of the relegation zone. About time...

Also, anybody see Ronaldinho's goal tonight? Wow.

It was an excellent goal. Even better was Forest beating Milwall to stay 6 points clear at the top of Leauge One. Championship, here we come!

We played really well today. Keep going like that and I'll be happy whatever the results are.

Looked even better on MOTD2.

What a difference having a goal threat makes.

James had a blinder. What was with the new Superman hairstyle though?

Sorry mac monkey, I think you missed the point.

When Liverpool were dominating Europe in the 70's they WERE, without doubt, the best team in Europe and most importantly, the English champions. Nowadays you don't need to win your respective league title. You still qualify for the 'Champions' League and then end up being crowned best team in Europe!

Go figure...

Cannavaro just been voted Player of the Year.
And Buffon second...

FFS. Cannavaro? There's better defenders in the Championship.

Poor old Thierry Henry misses out yet again...

Hell yeah. It's not like Cannavaro played a major part in Italy winning the World Cup or something. Was Henry at the World Cup?

Marching on at the top of Europe... by the skin of our teeth. Top coefficient, deserved. Just. We need the cash.

Former Manchester United footballer Ronnie Wallwork has been stabbed seven times at a nightclub, Sky sources have said.

The midfielder, now at West Brom but on loan to Barnsley, was attacked in Manchester's Sugar Lounge last night.

Police said a 28-year-old was repeatedly stabbed at the venue on Whitworth Street West.

The man was taken to hospital with wounds to his hand, stomach and back.

It is not known what type of weapon was used.

He remains in a stable condition and his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

Detectives believe it was not a random attack and are making further enquiries to trace the offender.

Always used to say Sugar Lounge was full of cunts. This proves it.

In fact, that whole Deansgate Lock is shite. He should have gone up the road to Rain Bar.

Get well soon Ronnie.

Don't like to hear that happening to anyone, but you do wonder why the players put themselves in this sort of situation (see what happened with Paddy Kenny recently).

Man U are panicking - Henrik Larsson on loan...

Seems like a fairly sensible move. They're down to only Rooney and Saha at the moment, and finding a world class striker in the new year thats not currently cup tied for the champions league is a tough proposition.

It's not like he's doing much right now, the Swedish season doesn't start for ages yet. Nice way to keep himself match fit and that.
