btw, is this the last day of this wonderful thread? Feel like there should be some sort of tribute or something...

Is it the biggest thread ever to appear on OTF? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

i believe it is, and there will be a tribute in the opening post of our new thread :*) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I take it that'll be the roundup you kept promising?

[alilaw]

Ah, the real reason for Nick pulling a sickie yesterday

Man if you do an entire thread roundup Elmonzo will properly cream himself.

[Nick OGS20]

woah now, i never said anything about a round-up. you'd have to be clinically insane to attempt that. it can wait until Scatter gets back.

[gonch19]

last day of the thread

There were several promises of them that never materialised throughout the life of the thread. Admittedly not all from you, iirc.

[Nick OGS20]

Reading at home first up then. assume i won't be struck down by a bolt of lightning for saying that...

[Master Blasta]

Early derby game

[mark g]

Have you decided on a name yet Nick? A couple of late contenders

As we're banning talk of devisive elements in the new thread

The Manchester United thread 2007/2008 - Champions - A Ruud free zone

Or as our former leader has now departed

The Manchester United thread 2007/2008 - Champions - A tribute to the late James07?

[alilaw]

That's actually a really really tricky first three games :/

[Nick OGS20]

erm, City at home on February 9th could be interesting...

[James07?]

You've got to be kidding...

(I lasted until 10.12 )

[alilaw]

Liverpool, Arsenal and Citeh all away first. Prefer it that way tbh.

And yeah, citeh so close to Munich just guarantees some classyness.

[mark g]

That's a tough run in from late march. Scouse(H), Villa(H), Boro(A), Arsenal(H), Blackburn(A), Chelsea (A), West Ham(H), Wigan(A).

Villa and the last 2 OK, but the rest nasty for that stage of the season.

I'm leaving OTF tonight so Mika is free to do what he wants (if I was the one stopping the poor little cherub from posting in here). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm consulting with my legal team to see whether that constitutes a contract which you have now breached. We will be in contact in due course

Mika, get on it please

[gonch19]

our run-in is AWFUL, and why do we always get west ham towards the back end of the season? urgh, totally uninspired by that

wish i was. you'd have thought United would have made a request to avoid City/Liverpool that weekend (maybe they did and it was ignored). could get a bit naughty.

[Keyser]

[Nick OGS20]

You wonder if as well as the teams being able to put in fixture requests, SKY are allowed to as well.
