Okay, Richardson had a good half season at West Brom followed by a good England debut. But that was in the 2004/05 season, why's he still playing now?

Voted. If he wasn't at manu I don't think he would get a look in

Ferguson hasnt rated him much this season, even in the games where he puts his 2nd XI out he usually has Richardson on the bench
Question is who would you have, Richardson or Downing?

Downing.
Dont rate Richardson at all. Thinks hes better than what he actually is

I agree with GW. Downing. If he was in a better team that played to his strengths he would look a lot better than he currently does at Boro

When Man U came to the Mad Stad, Richardson looked out of his depth against us, and yet he still gets games for Man Utd. I really think that he's a Championship player, Premiership fringe at best. It's a couple of years since he's done anything good. Downing on the other hand looked much better and caused us problems.

Neither are good enough for England in my opinion! I would have Gareth Barry on the left!  |

I doubt mcLaren would give him a game over Downing and Richardson.

Unfortunatley Downing and Richardson are both natural left footed palyers Richardson isnt getting enough football because of Giggs and Downing is SHIT, Agree with Gres Though Gareth Barry deserves a recall

It's a couple of years since he's done anything good. Downing on the other hand looked much better and caused us problems. So on the strength of an average performance against Reading he deserves an England place; of course you hear and read about him lighting up the Prem every weekend thats why Middlesboro are top the Permier league then OH NO thats right they are 14th and Im not saying Richardson should play if you are not playing for your club you shouldnt play for your country but Gareth Barry is having a storming season and Downing will always be shit |

You don't get much of an idea of how good a player is from MOTD hihglights. |

Well i have watched Richardson many times and Downing more than once and i know of the two who i would have in my team and i would imagine Reading being alot more UP for it playing Manchester United than Middlesboro as with Southend recently |

Doubt that, Boro was out first ever Premiership match, and it was for all of our players. They would have been very up for that. All of Man Utd's moves broke down when Richardson got involved, I was wanting you to pass to him.

Yeh right so the fact that your home record was still intact at the time wouldnt have got your team hyped up when Man united rolled in to town you think Boro being your first match would have your players hyped even more ?? |
