Expecting Stoke to get raped with Keane getting his first. Wouldn't surprise me to see Utd finally turn it on and give Chelsea a seeing too, their home record is there to be broken...
 
I'm really worried about this weekend, I can't see us getting anything from Stamford Bridge.
 
I'd love to see Stoke put up a fight, but I really can't see it happening.

Man City - Portsmouth should be interesting.
 
Defending Delap's throws tomorrow will be a good test to see how much our defending of set-plays has improved. Despite all the bs from Andy Gray about zonal marking, prior to last season we were excellent at defending set-plays (despite having only a couple of decent headers of the ball) but last season we looked incredibly dodgy.

Since his arrival Pellegrino's said to have been doing a lot of work on defending set-plays and heading in general, and it seems to be paying off. Other than the first Liege game we've looked very comfortable in the air and we were totally dominant in the air against both Utd and Villa, who on paper look a lot stronger than us aerially.

As for the game. Should be a easy 3 points but despite what ive said above, i wouldn't be suprised if Stoke pinched a goal from a throw.
 
I'm worried about going to Stamford Bridge. We're not on form whilst Chelsea are, and anything less than a great performance could see a severe dent in our title hopes already.
 
Berbatov is fit, and Ronnie is begging SAF to be included.

Should be an interesting team selection, with only carrick out due to injury and vidic due to suspension...
 
It'll be either a half decent match, or we're gonna get shafted by Wet Ham since we have most of the team out due to either injury or suspension :(

Have Chelsea really been tested so far - thats really the question, Im not 100% convinces they have been

It could be lambs to the slaughter - or if the real Utd turn up (cuz they went missing after about 10 minutes at Anfield, all credit to Liverpool for forcing it) it could be a very good match.

IF OH can play we might stand a chance, unless we pack the midfield but Im still dubious of having Nani on the left wing against a strong opposition, and dont even mention Giggs (even though his sub on Wednesday suggests he will start)

Going to the pub for this one, so if it goes badly Im in the right place to get completely drunk hahhaa
 
United will get hammered as Fergie failed to sort the problems that were building last season IE:

Getting rid of Giggs and scholes and buying a midfielder with some steel.

Instead we spunked 30 million on the pointless Berbatov who scores no more goals than our current front two and slows our play down to a crawl.

We were not in with a title chance this season, no team has done three Prem titles on the bounce.
It will be at least two seasons before united challenge for the league again.
