I assume you mean Sheffield Utd. As Wednesday are already up?
I'm going to say Sheff anyways because I just want to spite Huddersfield for sacking Lee Clark.

I had a dream that Cardiff won the playoff final and was getting promoted to the PL. This is literally the first football related dream that I remember. I woke up believing it too for a while...
Tevez doesn't regret his 'RIP FERGIE' poster:

Thoughts?
Also, United have chosen not to offer Owen a new contract, making him a free-agent. What do you reckon? He's going to take a break? Going to join a small club, and play regular football? Or just be a part of another big club as a benchwarmer?
Also, Hazard/Kagawa as United's new #7's?

The media around football need to stop being so soft and pc. This, the roy hodgson thing countless others. Fergie was probably laughing his head of at what is just a bit of banter.
If you're referring to the "Bwing on the Euwos" headline, I don't think that's people being soft and PC. Uncle Woy, is a sort of accepted nickname for him, no problems with that, but publically mocking a man who's leading the national sport for his speech impediment, is a little bit far imho. It wasn't exactly good banter.
No qualms with Fergie being called out, that's all banter, and considering what SAF gets away with saying and doing at times, I've sort of stopped pitying him when somebody says something like that to him.
jordan henderson mustve laughed his ass off when he got the call to be standby for the england squad!!
and considering hodgson doesnt seem to care if his players have been playing regular club football this season, stewart downing in over sturridge/johnson/anybody is literally absurd
aside from that, squad looks half decent.. think binging ox was a good call, i don't really think he's like young walcott at all and i actually think he could potentially emerge as a real superstar if given his chance. aside from that, not bringing richards makes literally 0 sense considering he adds a completely different tactical dimension to RB and is not a half bad CB to boot..

Well Bolton are releasing all of their players apart from Kevin Davies. This is very slightly worrying for them because the likes of West Ham kept most of their top players while Birmingham didn't and we all know which one is in the playoff final...
And on the topic of Bolton... Bartman! I see you!

I have massive respect for Brendan Rodgers today, to actually see a manager stick with the chairman that gave him a chance, even though I imagine Liverpool will be waving the chequebook around at a potential manager. I have a lot of time for people like that, the Prem needs more of them for sure, it's just a money game a lot of the time.
I can sort of see why Holt wants to move. At least he's just above board about the whole thing. I'd love him to come to Tottenham personally, we need a few talents like that this summer. imo he's got a good amount of potential.

Norwich turns down Holt's transfer request:

A bit late on this, but Solskjaer is in talks with Villa to become their new manager:
What do you reckon Villa fans?

Solskjaer in Villa would be pretty cool. I personally hope that he gets the job - we were downright HORRIBLE this season, definitely the most disappointing team of the year (next to Chelsea, probably; I didn't expect much from Liverpool to begin with); Solskjaer seems like a reliable guy.
In his first year in Norway, he won the championship, he was also quite successful in Manchester (reserves).
It can only get better for us.

I heard about Sol yesterday on another forum and he seems like a solid guy who in a few years can get Villa into the top 10.
Grant Holt why have you done this to me :(. I think this is Woys fault.
A loyal player indeed, chaser.
