I think we will need to go with a more direct approach regarding this so the only way we can get a definitive answer is to ask Mr Heskey directly. So Viva the onus is on you old chap. Be a darling and tweet Heskey about the size of his duck. I'm sure he will answer to a charming young single man as yourself.

I did my own research and it's 3.87m long

In the big man's defence, it is cold in Bolton. When he was down in Australia, it was clearing 4.5m on a daily basis

All you have to do is put "Hero dressed as Alan Carr" into google and they come up

It's May and the greatest English side of all the still haven't won the league title in the weakest premier league season ever. Thought they'd have smoked everyone by February.

Even after spending trillions they still play like Big Sams Bolton, what a disgrace. I don't buy into they played well earlier on in the season, they had moments in games where they played well. If anyone else managed Hazard he'd have at the very least finished in the top 3 in Balon Dor by now.

Did you have a good day Sunday?

Haha.

I still can't work out how you lot scored 3, you didn't play like a team that scored 3. We didn't offer much of a threat upfront, Rooney was locked off and if you don't take your chances you need to keep it tight at the back which we didn't.

Howard was never really troubled as far as I can remember. Stones and McCarthy were immense, and you couldnt get into the game properly.

But you gifted two of the three goals.

Lukaku was allowed to turn too easily, and then Blind and McNair were too soft against McCarthy, for the first.

And you all stopped for the third. Really Lukaku should have been flagged for offside as it was clearly aimed at him, but you should have played to the whistle.

It evens up the game at Old Trafford where you deserved nothing but somehow got the win.

Gary Neville has hailed Manchester United's "unsung hero", Michael Carrick, describing him as part Paul Scholes, part Andrea Pirlo, part Sergio Busquets and also likening him to a piano.

The midfielder has missed United's last two games - losses to Chelsea and Everton following a six-game winning streak - and the former defender feels that the 33-year-old's absence has been key.

United's win percentage drops from 72.2 per cent with Carrick to 37.5% without and Neville says that the England international is an inspiration for the younger generation with his composure and cultured approach.

"I'd say Carrick has the qualities of a Scholes or Andrea Pirlo, and of a Sergio Busquets," Neville told the Daily Mirror.

"Busquets does more defending and Pirlo is more of a rhythm player, like Scholes. Michael is a mix between the two. It's unfair to say he is the same as either, but he has those qualities.

"He's critical for Louis van Gaal and he's a very important player for England in the next 12 months leading up to Euro 2016. Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have retired and now Carrick has an opportunity.

"I describe him as a piano. You can go into a bar and listen to rock music but Carrick is more like a piano player. He's peaceful. He's calm, he brings composure to everyone else around him.

"That's important for young players. We want cultured players, players who can see the game, who are intelligent, who understand the game and be a coach out on the pitch. That's what he is.

"The reality is Michael Carrick will be remembered incredibly well by Manchester United players that played with him but he'll only be respected when he finishes. He's an unsung hero."

Neville, who is part of England's coaching staff, also pointed the finger at past Three Lions bosses and their use of central midfielders, adding that Carrick's abilities will only be appreciated once he has retired.

He added: "We shoe-horned Paul Scholes to the left wing and it might be the same with Michael Carrick.

"In four years' time we will think, 'What a hell of a player he was'. No other country would ever do that."

There you go guys, Carrick is an unsung hero. Although Neville does make some good points though.

Carrick is a really underrated player with some. I think he has proved that over the last 2-3 seasons. I don't disagree with Viva when he says that he should have been given more of a chance with England.

Not sure I'd describe him like a piano though. It's not that black and white.

Did anyone see James Rodriguez's goal the other day?



Also Ronaldo's "jealous" reaction to arbeloa scoring a goal.

Haha says the one that asks for tips and helps from that Snake guy on Twitter each time you get to a new level. You continue pretending that you play Dark Souls while I play Bloodborne without any help.

Carrick has been excellent for United and TBH that's all I care about, the WUMS on here don't bother me they can say what they like but us United fans know how valuable he is for us.

Score from JA606's Dream League

Manchester Mandems (Trebs) 1-2 Shakhtar Senseless (myself)

And he can't blame this one on a conspiracy

I think Viva's time here may be coming to end accompanying being broke

Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye viva

The amount of times Thierry Henry says listen is mind blowing. Listen listen listen, I am bloody listening fml.

Second consecutive win at Old Trafford for the mighty West Bromwich Albion

Boing Boing

Right, what's the plan with the league?
If we carry on with a season 4 who's bowing out?
If we start afresh who's bowing out?

I will stay and from Tuesday i shall run a mini Champions League bit like the 5 a side to bide the time in between

It's a reboot is my suggestion. Get names this week coming and decide a format, team selection/draft whatever the following week with first tactics due 22. May.

I will do either.

Im still going to host the tournament for Poopie and giggles not much between Europe's top side anymore so would be fun to declare a master tactician...

I'll do either and stay.

Meanwhile, Miky: name your charity and £20 will be winging its way tomorrow.

Me and my brother twisty are ready for a new league. Praise the Sun!

Azzy, i would like the £20 to go to this charity please, Kits4Causes:

https://mydonate.bt.com/charities/afrikit#

It's a friend of my friends charity and the explanation as to what they do is on that page, Cheers.

Looks like I'll be losing £100 and leaving the site.

Once the inevitable happens Afro send me your sort code and account number and I'll deposit you the money.

I'll be leaving the site unless Nando says I can stay.

I don't mind restarting or continuing the league, i just want to play.

Oh and congratulations Miky on winning the league after half a decade.

I told you, You can stay if you admit Arsenal are the better side

This season and last you have been the better side.

you may stay

Viva, I have no interest in taking your money.

If I do win £100 from you, please donate it to the RNLI

https://rnli.org/donateorbecomeamember/Pages/Default.aspx

So what happens if Arsenal collapse and United finish above, and Viva's already done his forefit?!

This league is done, as much as I wanted it to continue. Go with Nando's tournament to whet the appetite then start afresh.

When this page reaches 20 or when we get 1000 posts on it, that's when the new league should start. Time to start sperming this page with posts guys. I believe in you all.

I hope you meant spamming...

Nadeem has always had the hots for you Marky. Perhaps he meant what he said.

Me and marky don't swing that way afro. But i am up for some experimenting in the forseeable future. What are everyone's predictions for the champions league tonight? I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

Have a good weekend guys.

You realise it's Tuesday right

Or are you as drunk as the Austria Vienna mascot?

One for the tacticians.

Got a Europa League final coming up on JA606, the other guy has Lahm as his RB and I have Hazard as my LW, do I play Hazard v Lahm and see how it goes? Or do I play Hazard at RW, slightly out of position but against Gibbs? Schurrle at LW. Just an idea, might be a matchwinner.

I don't know if you want my opinion or not but i would put Hazard up against Lahm due to pace because im pretty sure Gibbs is quicker than Lahm. Schurrle can play on the right up against Gibbs because although Gibbs is quick, Schurrle can match him i personally think.

I realise it isn't all about pace by the way and Lahm is pure quality but so is Hazard.

Of course I want your opinion Miky

Lahm isn't really affected by pacy wingers though, always put him in the bracket of defenders who have the first 5 yards in their head. The fear is Hazard being neutralized by Lahm, I doubt he would by Gibbs.

Have you considered him as an AM?

Yeah, could play Hazard just off your striker (Who is it?)

Remember to sign up to the CL people

Hero/Viva/ Even you Afro it'll be minimal work

No offense intended but I'm not that interested in the CL tournament, I'll sit this one out. Glad to see Real shown a footballing lesson tonight
