Oh, and there's that Sylvester fella.

Evra should be back so he'll slot in at LB and O'Shea will be able to play RB. He looked fine on the outside early. In the middle he was shaky but at RB he's not a bad player. Silvestre hasn't played in awhile beause of injury. He's not really a factor at this point.

Eh, Woodgate was a really good player but he was always hurt. It's hard to say he was better than Rio, Terry, etc. because he was never healthy for a proper run of games.

Or he could be setting it up for bigger disapointment. YOu never know with him. =)

Watford have been relegated. The top four EPL places are pretty much secured.

West Ham's battle to stay in the premiership is just as interesting as the Premiership title race. Come on West Ham!

If Sunderland holds on, Roy Keane will be back in the EPL as manager of Sunderland.

He has all the qualities to become a very successful manager.

I'm a little puzzled as why you guy's use EPL. No offence but it's just callled the Premiership to us ordinary British folk. Is that what they call it on US TV ?

Because its way easier to type out EPL.

Yea, we're a lazy bunch! Plus we're used to the whole three letters thing.

NHL
NFL
NBA
MLB

It all coming together as I can't recall any mention of FIFA or UEFA on the thread.
