Every time Fletcher steps on the pitch I cringe, with the amount of stray passes and lost balls I cannot understand why he's still in the squad, as for Brown, I thought he'd improved recently, probably due to his looking for a new club, but maybee he's slipping again. I'm not alone in my judgement of Fletcher, you want to hear the audible moan in the bar when the team list is up and he's included or subbed.

You both are idiots.
Sorry, you're not idiots. Muppets is the right word.

Constructive as ever lol, so you think Fletchers decent, what does he bring to the team ? I'd much rather be a muppet than a teletubbie LaLa :P.

So what if Ronaldo missed the penalty. Why do you guys forget that each time we slip up its our inspiration to go on another run. But honestly fletcher is just a shirt, dunno why Fergie fields him. All the set pieces resulted into goals because of lousy marking. And then there's something weird about EVS and TK, both goalie's fumble with set pieces.

Why are you having a go at Wes Brown? The lad has been nothing but great for us. He's NEVER played this much in one season, and still he's been satisfied and always ready to come do a job. He's been magnificent all season and certainly the best right back in the league this far. Fletcher, the scottish national captain, must have some talent?? .. Last time he played in midfield we won 0-4, so he can't be that bad.. I do agree that he's probably the worst of our central midfielders, but he's good when it comes to resting the stars. And btw, I easily thought west ham could be where they are now. If you look at their squad incl. Bellamy, Ljungberg, Green, Upson. They've got good players.

I can't understand why Darren Fletcher consistently finds himself in the firing line with supposed United "fans." The lad works his socks of, breaks up play and is a very good passer of the ball. Do you actulaay watch United's games? Fletcher has come through the ranks and if you listen to what the other United players and the manager have to say about him, they clearly rate him very highly. He does his job very effectively in midfield. He is a defensive mdfielder. He isn't a Cristiano Ronaldo or a Ryan Giggs. Give the guy a break. What about Owen Hargreaves? The guy can barely go a week without picking up an injury. The club paid over 18 million quid for him and automatically "fans" are saying that he is the new Roy Keane! WTF. Most of the time Hargreaves wins the ball and then gives it straight back to the opposition. His passing is very limited and in all honesty, if he doesn't improve soon, he'll be a strong candidate for the worst signing in the premier league this season. Against West Ham, An

One United is spot on. Fletch is quite a good player. his only crime is his honesty and lack of seperstar looks. As a player his mates value him very highly so do I. All we are waiting for is for him to put on some more weight and dominate central midfield. He is a part of the future.

Every goal scored against United appears to be either his or Fletcher's man. [quote]Fletcher, the scottish national captain, must have some talent??[/quote] I thought that was Barry (Ferguson)?

Hammers are doing quite well this year.
