Derby v Arsenal, 20:00 (Setanta)


For various reasons Lampard and Vidic are doubts for both teams on Saturday. Expect the same sort of play as last night, with Fergie going for the draw. I'll be surprised if we get much more. Hoping for the following team:

VdS
Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic/Pique - Evra
Ronaldo - Hargreaves - Carrick - ANDERSON! - Nani
Rooney

However I really doubt it'll be anything like that with Barca again on Tuesday. Probably see Giggs/O'Shea/Fletcher possibly getting some minutes.
 
Man Utd are better than Chelsea and it'll show, but you can't play Scholes as he isn't up to the mark. Anderson is young and fit, I say play him on Saturday and Tuesday. If Fabregas can do it so can he.

Arsenal vs Derby should be 2 / 3 - 0, I expect Adebayor is going to miss at least 12 open nets though. Really want to see RvP score from open play, if his form keeps improving he's definitely due one.

Does everyone else think L'pool have got 4th tied up? I'm pretty sure they do myself.

Yeap, it saddens me he's so wasteful. The whole planet would starve if he treats food like that.

It'd be nice. Though at this stage of the season all it would do is warm him up for Holland in the summer. Then in their last game, he'd get injured until December. You read it here first:rolleyes::(
 
Using my mystical powers, I'm predicting Spurs 1 - 1 Bolton. Berbatov scoring after about 20 minutes, Bolton equalising just before halftime and then a second half that makes me lose the will to live.
 
WOE IS ARSENAL WE ARE ALL DOOMED. TRULY THIS IS THE DARKEST OF TIMES WHEN WE MIGHT NOT BEAT DERBY BY FIFTY GOALS.

Yawn.

EDIT: Please beat Chelsea. Please please please. Not even just so we might sneak second, but just to stuff if it in their silly, overachieving faces.
 
Likely we'll see an even weaker side than that vs Fulham. I'd imagine something like this:

---------------Reina
Finnan----Hyypia--Skrtel-----Insua
Pennant---Lucas--Plessis--Benayoun
----------Voronin--Crouch

Should still be strong enough to get a result at Birmingham.
 
it's all about chelsea needing to go 100% for the win tomorrow. it'll be tense and nervy and i expect to see plenty of high long balls pumped up towards our box.
 
Would be nice to beat the Hammers, I like the 'Newcastle Reserves' comment da_mic. ;)

Close the gap to 2 points with two games to play and as long as Spurs drop points as well somewhere we can still do it.

It does require taking points away from Everton and Chelsea but we are 2nd in the current performance tables at the moment so it's not impossible.

Another clean sheet tomorrow would be 'triffic but I've probably gone and tempted fate now.

I'm really looking forward to the Chelsea game tomorrow, it's a shame about Lampard's mum. I'm sure he'll come back a stronger player next season, it's going to be tough tomorrow but records are there to be broken. I hope Anderson starts :)
 
Game of the weekend is at Goodison Park on Sunday! have to fancy the mighty Villa to snatch a win, and swipe 5th place away from Everton, in a victory not only for the Pride of the Midlands, but for attacking football!.

I'll go for 2-1, with goals from the "useless, we don't want that sort of player at Anfield/Stamford Bridge (delete as applicable)" Gareth Barry and Big John Carew.
 
We are one 90 minute game away from clinching another Premiership title, and one 90 minute game away from the Champions League final. A win today and I'd be very confident going into the Barcelona game on Tuesday that we'll beat them. The high all the players would be on if we win today would carry over, the last two games of the season we could effectively rest some players for the CL final (again if we beat Barcelona). Saha remains the only injured player in our squad which gives us an excellent opportunity, good cover in all areas of the pitch with everyone else fit and able to play.

Fast forward to 12:45 please!
 
Fergie will blow it with some bizarre team selections and a totally nonsensical formation.

He'll probably play Rooney in goal with a VDS- PIG strikeforce pairing.
