Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Enfield Exile"At least Butt has a bit of a pedigree and ability.'" />
But he doesn't! He's finished. He has a bit of pedigree, simply because he used to play for Man Utd. As for ability, I'll give you that one. He has the uncanny ability of giving the ball away to the opposition in crucial areas of the pitch. Apart from that, no ability whatsoever. />
A few years ago he wasn't too bad but that was then, this is now.
As for pretty much saying Guthrie has no ability, what exactly do you judge that on? Crazy comment. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"I haven't read any post from you that suggests you know anything about football apart from what Talksport tells you.'" />
You think Nicky Butt is better than Danny Guthrie, that tells me all I need to know about you. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"Do you honestly think your knowledge of City players is better than mine?'"
Please point out where I claimed that. As with any fan of any team, I'd expect you to know more about your team than a fan of another team. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"Bit of an expert re Johnson, eh? How does he compare with Anderson in terms of the following:
* Heading ability
* Ability to score
* Pace
* Dribbling
* Passing
* Football intelligence
* Protecting the defence
What are Johnson's weaknesses on the field?'"
I actually think that Johnson is a good player, hence why I would have been pleased if he signed for Newcastle. />
As for comparing the two, Johnson is a 'safe' player, he will do the simple things right and does them well too. When he gets forward, he can look dangerous at times but he doesn't really cause defences too many problems, whether that is creating goals or playing a killer pass. Anderson is more combative; very tidy in the middle of the pitch. Brilliant with the ball at his feet and looks a far bigger threat when going forward. Although Johnson can fire in a goal, I still believe Anderson offers more in attack. His work-rate is superb. They both protect the back four well but I rate Anderson the better of the two, mainly due to his engine allowing him to quickly break away and turn defence into attack. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"I merely stated that Carrick should never play for England. He’s not international quality – which pretty much all of his international appearances have shown.'" />
Earlier on in his career, I'd have agreed. However, he's come on a lot and deserves his place in the side. His most recent performance in an England shirt (before the Spain game) was against Germany. He was the best player on the park and controlled things brilliantly in what was a very understrength England side. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"If international caps (U21 and senior) are the measure of quality, are you saying that Daniel Sturridge isn’t very good or not likely to be? Is Frazier Campbell better than Sturridge? After all, he has more caps.'" />
They aren't the measure of quality, but they do give an indication. More often than not, you don't pick up International caps if you're not good enough to be in there. />
For what it's worth, I rate Sturridge higher than Campbell.
Quote ="Enfield Exile"International caps? Not many at U21 as he has been injured so often. Still, name a midfielder from this country who was as good as Johnson at 19.'"
I think you're making Johnson out to be better than he is here. Yes, he had a decent season last year but that hardly merits the question of naming a midfielder better than him at 19 when quite frankly, there is a lack of them in this country.
As I've said, I rate Johnson and believe he's a good player, just not to the same level you're making him out to be. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"Carrick looks decent fotr United. Jeez, even some of your players would look mid-table Premiership quality if they played for United.'" />
He hasn't just been decent though, he's been a key player for them this season and has stood out. He's more than deserved his place in the England side.

Mourinho 6 wins. 5 Draws. Ferguson 1 win. One of those draws is also weighted in Mourinho's favour because it was the second leg of a CL tie, which Porto won. />
Mourinho has beaten the **** out of Ferguson. Hopefully it will continue in their next two matches. But even then it's only going to be because the poor babies have got too many injuries.

Amazing that considering what they both achieved during Mourinhos time in england. And I count last season in this even though Jose didn't manage to see it out until the end

You are talking about Mourinho owning Ferguson, right? I mean, 5-1 is a pretty convincing victory.
