For reasons which I shall explain once I have some answers, I'm trying to see if there is any correlation between the answer to the first part of the question and the second.

Some very belated
Manchester United versus Wigan
The United defence is not so much in an injury crisis as the crisis is having a crisis.
Dear all football managers, if you're playing versus a team with flying wingers, you can't play 3 at the back.
That was never a red card.
Fun stat - Roberto Martinez wasn't even 1 when Fergie started managing.
Manchester City vs West Brom
Dear Mancini, stop whinging, like you've never put out an ultra-defensive team.
Liverpool vs Blackburn
Young Bunn in goal is quite good.
Chelsea vs Fulham That David Stockdale is also good.
Everton vs Sunderland
That Jack Colabck is good. Remind me I need to tweak Angry Steve about the resemblance to him.
Dear Sylvan Distan, stop nearly putting the ball into your own net.
Book Meme - Day 25 - The character who you can relate to the most
Relate to in the sense of this could be my future self, in all the worst possible ways - Mr. Satterthwaite from 'The Mysterious Mr. Quin' which remains my favourite Agatha Christie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Mr._Quin - Don't read the synopses, they contain mahoosive spoilers).
Relate to in the sense that they could be my present self, in all the best and worst possible ways, it varies between Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent, of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy), the sense of confusion, wild tendencies to annoy astrophycists, and a desperate requirement for tea or an alcoholic beverage. But tea by preference ;)
