    A big :greetings-clapyellow: to Brad Friedel, whose run of 310 straight Premier League starts ended today. AVB started Hugo Lloris. The streak goes back to May 2004.

    Money talks. Brad was at the top of his form and only got the hook because they spent so much money on Lloris.

    Amen. From beating the Red Devil's away to the bench is a fine thank you very much.

    Once they brought in Lloris, you knew it was going to happen anyway. Frankly I think it is better to end his streak after a strong game in a "historic" win at Old Truffle. If AVB waited until Friedel messed up it would have been an insult to a great career. Well done Brad :bow-yellow:

    On Men In Blazers on Sirius today, Rodger Bennet said that he feels that AVB made a deal with Lloris and his agent to get him a league game before the international break so that he could justify his spot on the French team.

    As stated, too much money involved. Amazing achievement :clap:
