Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 19th October 2011]

[Tom84]

Tom84 it will be like this
1. Vidic turns up and Suarez becomes a new Torres to him earning him a red card and or a pen which SG will score.
2. Young to finally get a bad game and he is anonymous hence making your entire team go missing.
3. 5 goals to be scored but the game will not end in a draw Liverpool to win it 3-2 with man u constantly coming from behind.
4. Finally Man U to lose points at the hand of us and the entire media saying we are again title contenders which will certainly not be true.
Carroll to score and become anonymous in the following games

1- As has been written time and time again of Vidic's Red cards only 1 yellow has resulted on a tackle on Torres
2- Young has had plenty of bad games for us already
3- If there are 5 goals scored in the game then you're right there's no chance the game can end in a draw
4- Spot on even if you do win you won't win the title

Biz what's the deal with Balotelli and Aguero? Was going to put the former in my FF team to replace the latter but the site says Balotelli has hurt his back?

Aguero is almost certainly out, whereas Balotelli is just less likely to be out. I wouldn't be relying on either this weekend tbh, I think it will be up to Dzeko and Silva.

 

[Cosimo]

Great to be back to normal again but without Torres for the next three games. It's a shame because he started coming good.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

It's all about Sunday.

Can't believe it's not on television.

I'm at the GF's on Sunday she lives at The Force (The big student flats) which is outside Bramall Lane. It's bad enough stepping outside on normal United matchdays let alone this

Balotelli left Italy earlier this week with a back injury like you say, I think he will start however.
Aguero flew to Argie to be checked but i am not sure if he came back but i dont think he will play.

Dzeko upfront alone with Silva, Nasri and Johnson behind i think. Possible Tevez start

EDIT: Just seen AdrianR just said the same practically.

 

[el_dazza]

Thank goodness internationals are over and we only suffered the one injury whilst the others got in good form.

Should turn over Villa but they are a good team under McLeish. Their only threat is pace but our defence has got to be the fastest defence in the prem i think so we won't struggle i don't think.

Dunne, Ireland (if he plays) and Given to have blinders.

Ireland won't, he's done sod all even when he's actually had a chance. 3-0 and an easy win.

I reckon the Toon will finally get turned over by Spurs, and get humped badly in the process

 

[cm1179]

adebayor doubtful

 

[Tunney]

adebayor doubtful

At least Bale has found some form over the internationals.

 

[Weebull]

Sunderland? At home? That's almost winnable.

1-2 final score with us falling apart after they score a late equaliser then.

North vs South in both ties on Sunday. COYS

There are three games on Sunday, assuming you're talking about the PL.

 

[B&W]

villa fan here.

dont think we've got a prayer against man city.......

Man City 2 - Aston Villa 0

 

[johnyccc]

Any news on Smalling? I'd really like to see him get a run in the team alongside Vidic. To me, Rio looks like his legs have gone - he has looked increasingly unathletic and cumbersome for some time imo. Given he seems incapable of playing on a regular basis, it seems time to look to the future.
I would not be too surprised to see 4-5-1 vs Liverpool. It would be a little dissapointing I suppose but it would offer the currently shakey defense a bit more protection and ultimatly I would back the attacking talent we have to score vs Liverpool regardless of the formation.

 

[Adrianr]

For Tom: Daniel Taylor has said Balotelli is fine and will be available for Villa. Whether or not this is true or if it means he'll start on the bench etc is anyone's guess, but there you go.

 

[HumanShield]

We should turn Donny over, not sure if this break will have broken our momentum though

Few decent signings though for Doncaster since Saunders took over, Kirkland just joined too. They are doing ok under him at the moment!

Given the way he played against Blackburn and if Aguero is injured surely he'll be starting?

 

[Purdy]

United haven't won at anfield in a while, wouldn't be surprised if they won.
I pray we don't play like we did against spurs.

 

[Adrianr]

Given the way he played against Blackburn and if Aguero is injured surely he'll be starting?

If he's fine he'll definitely be starting, but if they're unsure I doubt they'll see any harm in playing Dzeko/Silva/Johnson/Nasri as the front four and bringing Balotelli on in the second half or similar. I'm sure Mancini would much rather have him available for the derby than risk him against Villa if there was any doubt.

 

[cheets64]

Been wondering any Bolton fans on here?

 

[DanH84]

They're all in Asia

 

[Andybtsn]

2-0 Leeds.

Quality goal by McCormack.
