Joey won a two-horse race from Matty Elliott by just 2%, receiving 38% of the votes to Matty's 36%.

Forest fixture frozen off

Tonight's FA Cup 3rd round replay against Nottingham Forest was postponed due to an unplayable pitch and icey terracing, following a pitch inspection by referee Andy D'Urso this afternoon. The game has been rearranged for Saturday 8th January (the date of the FA Cup 4th round fixtures) and has been made all-ticket by United. At least this should give United a better chance of appearing in the draw for the 5th round.
