Man Utd v QPR, R4, 20:00
Stoke v Rotherham, R4, 19:45

Wednesday, 12 November 2008

Chelsea v Burnley, R4, 19:45
Sunderland v Blackburn, R4, 19:45
Tottenham v Liverpool, R4, 19:45

Not as confident about our game as I was a few months ago, all depends on how seriously both clubs take it.

No doubt we'll have the infants out and Spurs will be at full strength.

Oooh I forgot there was footie tonight, hopefully get to see Rafael and maybe Fabio in action, possibly Rodders as well?

 

[CliffyBiro]

COYS!

 

[McMav]

I heard Arsenal were fielding their under 9's this round

 

[Tunney]

I'm really curious to see what kind of side 'Arry puts out. He said he was going to "give youth a chance" in the UEFA Cup and that seemed to mean putting on Bostock for 10 minutes once we were 4-0 up.

I predict we'll see Dawson, Hutton and Lennon all get a start at least. Hopefully free-scoring Carragher will also get a game.

 

[Anders0n]

Well Keane and Gerrard are not even in our squad and it's rumoured Alonso, Kuyt and Carra won't even be on the bench.

Nando should start though, he needs the games!

Is Fabio fit after his shoulder injury?

SAF has confirmed the other two start

hehe

 

[Will_3rd]

Arsenal will probably start with 90% of the starting eleven who played against Sheffield United. Hoping for a good game!

I think Fabio was a maybe last time I heard. Would love to see him get at least a half. Id prefer if he was our backup to Evra instead of O'Shea if he's half as good as Rafael.

Well Keane and Gerrard are not even in our squad and it's rumoured Alonso, Kuyt and Carra won't even be on the bench.

Nando should start though, he needs the games!

I'd imagine we'll line-up something like this:
-----------Cavalieri
-Degen-Hyypia-Agger-Insua
Pennant-Lucas-Plessis-Benayoun/Babel
---------Benayoun/Babel
------------Torres

 

[Tute]

Any of the matches live?

 

[Will_3rd]

Any of the matches live?

Arsenal vs. Wigan game is on SS1

 

[Tute]

Excellent.

 

[Andybtsn]

Come on Leeds!

I'm not confident.

 

[Gooner14]

Fabianski, Hoyte, Song Billong, Djourou, Gibbs, Wilshere, Randall, Ramsey, Merida, Simpson, Vela.

Subs: Mannone, Bischoff, Coquelin, Fonte, Lansbury, Ogogo, Frimpong.

 

[cheets64]

Wigan should win but rather concentrate on the league.

 

[Shamikebab]

United team:

Kuszczak, Rafael Da Silva, Neville, Evans, O'Shea, Gibson, Possebon, Anderson, Nani, Tevez, Park. Subs: Foster, Vidic, Carrick, Welbeck, Manucho, Cleverley, Gray.

Looks like Fabio is still injured then, Hopefully Tevez can at least get on the scoresheet tonight.

I'd imagine we'll line-up something like this:
-----------Kuszczak
- Rafael - Neville - Evans - O'Shea
-- Possebon - Gibson - Anderson
Park ------------------------------- Nani
----------------Tevez

 

[Cob]

Wouldn't mind seeing Anderson playing just off Tevez tonight. Hope to god we're not playing with a 5 man midfield against QPR.

Come on Leeds!

I'm not confident.

Derby were struggling to put out a team tonight by the sounds of it.

*edit*


I spoke too soon. Derby 1 up.

 

[Andybtsn]

Well we're losing
