The league starts in just a few weeks, so get in there and sign up. I've won the last 2 seasons, proving I am the best by far.

Of course Daz picked Torres!

I was gonna say if he hasn't picked Torres I'm a monkey's uncle, but then I realised he'd take him out of the team and then repick him, just to spite me!

The real question should be, am I going to pick Tevez?

Its probably going to be an outright purchase actually, as United want to keep everything above board, unlike you cheats!  Also if it is the supposed loan deal, we get the option of an outright purchase after two years, so say goodbye to him!

I can't see him rotting on the bench at all, him and Rooney will be playing up front, with Ronaldo on the right, Giggs/ Nani on the left and Scholes/Anderson, Carrick/Hargreaves through the middle. On paper we're looking frightening and better than anyone else now, lets hope it transfers to actual performance.

Ashton and Bellamy should pick you up a fair few goals, provided they stay injury free, I reckon you could be challenging for a Uefa cup spot this year potentially, along with ARSE...nal!

Well tbh United have played that way for a while now. Even a couple of years back it was Rooney, Ruud, Ronaldo and Giggs and we always look better playing with a more aggressive formation. The problem was in recent years the defence wasn't as stable and we were lacking a midfield enforcer.

Last year the emergence of Vidic and Evra gave us more stability, Fletcher finally started to develop and Carrick rose to the ocassion. With Hargreaves coming in now as well, we've got more license to attack and so I reckon this season we'll be even more potent up front.

Rafa Benitez when he realises he's got another Morientes on his hands.

Actually, in all seriousness, I think he'll do ok. Not great, but ok. Crouch will outscore him.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T PICK MANNY PANTHER?!?!

I've not two weeks in Switzerland this Christmas which means I can actually try and pick a team over the festive period and stop it from all going Pete Tong which it did at that point in the season last year.

I'm managing York on Champo. We romped out of the conference thanks to Clayton Donaldson's 60 goals....shame he'd agreed to join Hibs right from the start, thanks to the Jan transfers being included....

Still, resigning Alan Fettis, Michael Proctor and Lee Bullock hasn't been the total disaster I imagined.
