What are your memories of Gary Speed?

On this day in 2000, Manchester United beat Manchester City 1-0 at Maine Road, in the first Manchester derby for five years. David Beckham scored the only goal of the game, with a stunning 30-yard free kick after just 95 seconds.

United fan Mike called 606 after the game to talk about “the next Franz Beckenbauer” – Wes Brown. Mike thought Brown was outstanding against City, and was “a better player than Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, Matthew Upson & Jonathan Woodgate put together”.

Mike also believed that Wes Brown should have been the first man on the England team sheet in 2000.

As England get ready to face Germany tomorrow evening, who would be your first choice defensive pairing in Brazil next year?

On this day in 2009, Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in the North London derby, with RVP grabbing a brace and Fabregas scoring an incredible individual goal. Spurs fan Ross called up to complain about the mentality of the players at his club. He wasn’t happy with Robbie Keane's earlier comments about the squad. Or the performances of certain players, saying ‘their boots are a waste of good beer money’.

At the end of that season (2009/10) Arsenal finished third and Spurs took the fourth spot. It was the first time in their history that Tottenham had achieved Champions League football.

Do you think the two North London teams will finish in the top four this season?

In the coming week, England face their last two World Cup Qualifiers for Brazil 2014. They host Montenegro on Friday and then Poland on Tuesday. 

On this day in 2009, England travelled to Dnipropetrovsk to face Ukraine - they lost the game 1-0. Rob Green was sent off inside 15 minutes after a mistake from Rio Ferdinand. As expected, England fans rung in their droves to complain about the performance and Rio Ferdinand came under a lot of criticism. Jonathan opened up the show and questioned Rio's concentration levels when playing for his country - "he looses concentration - what else has he got to concentrate on!?" Is the criticism too harsh?

We also thought it was interesting to look at the starting eleven from that game, four years ago:

Rob Green

Glen Johnson

John Terry

Rio Ferdinand

Ashley Cole

Aaron Lennon

Michael Carrick

Frank Lampard

Steven Gerrard

Wayne Rooney

Emile Heskey

Is this team better than the one England have today?

After Manchester United's worst start for 24 years and a new manager in David Moyes at the helm, many Manchester United fans have started to panic. On the last few shows we've been inundated with calls from the United faithful worrying about the start the new man has got off to. 

Are we too quick to jump on managers' backs? Manchester United are only six games into their title defence in the Premier League. 

On this day in 2009 we had a call from George, a United fan. He shared his concerns over Sir Alex Ferguson's tactics after a 2-2 draw to Sunderland - "I think Ferguson's got his tactics really wrong". His worries included having no goalscorers on the pitch and not replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a move that summer for the World Record fee of £80m to Real Madrid.

So do we panic about managers  too much? Are we too impatient as football fans? Let us know by commenting below.

#Onthisday in 2005, Chelsea had just beaten Charlton 2-0 at The Valley to make it six wins out of six in the Premier League. They were champions, League Cup holders and had just won the Community Shield. All this had come under Jose Mourinho in his first spell as Chelsea manager.

But Chelsea's success brought complaints from fans of other clubs about the Blues style of football. Phillip, a Chelsea fan called 606 to tell us that he was definitely being entertained: "If you asked the vast majority of Chelsea supporters, they'd be happy with another thirty-two 2-nil victories this year". But Simon, who saw Chelsea beat his team, Charlton that day, disagreed: "When you watch a team like Chelsea…. You just think what is the point of having a team like that in the Premiership?"

What do you think? Was it "sour grapes" or did Simon have a point? Would you rather pay money to watch a team that wins trophies or a team that entertains you with exciting football? Let us know by commenting below.

On this day in 2009, Emmanuel Abebayor sparked a flurry of calls into 606 after running the entire length of the pitch to celebrate in front of travelling Arsenal fans - a team he'd only left that summer.

Arsenal fans were outraged and Manchester City fans found it 'absolutely hilarious'. We dug into the 606 archive and found these two calls from 12th September 2009 to presenter, Alan Green. Arsenal fan, Josh and Manchester City fan, Paul who were both inside what was then known as Eastlands that day.

Who remembers that? Should players have respect and not celebrate when they score in front of their former club? Or did Adebayor just take it that step too far? Let us know by commenting below.
