Midweek Football *SPOILERS* 3/4 March

[Ripper]

Tuesday 3rd March
Liverpool v Sunderland, 20:00 (Sky Sports 2)
Portsmouth v Chelsea, 19:45
West Brom v Arsenal, 19:45

Wednesday 4th March
Blackburn v Everton, 20:00 (Sky Sports 2)
Fulham v Hull, 20:00
Man City v Aston Villa, 19:45
Newcastle v Man Utd, 19:45
Stoke v Bolton, 19:45
Tottenham v Middlesbrough, 20:00
Wigan v West Ham, 19:45

United and Tottenham players are going to be shafted. However, the strength of Uniteds squad will hopefully show tomorrow night. In reality, only one player who played the full match Sunday needs to play (Ferdinand or Evans), as we could lineup like:

VdS
Neville - Ferdinand - Vidic - Fabio
Park - Carrick - Fletcher - Giggs
Rooney - Berbatov

Which is still a very strong team. Hopefully Newcastle will collapse.

Liverpool are on the box tonight, Blackburn/Everton tomorrow.

^ Yea that line sounds about right. Cant see Ronaldo playing tomorrow after 120min football on sunday. He'll be on the bench.

Other then that, that team is more then capable of beating Newcastle.

Sunderland play well away, can see Liverpool drawing, West Brom play well at home, can see Arsenal losing. Should se Chelsea and Man United win.

Going for my ticket for the West Ham game only £19.50 bargain, can see West Ham playing for the draw.

We can't afford to lose to spurs, we've got to really build up some momentum

 

[jakeke]

Arsenal better score tonight :/

Wouldn't like to be Newcastle, losing Butt at the weekend too, do they even have any central midfielders fit?

 

[Blue Cypher]

We really need to beat aston villa, losing to many games now and we need to be high in the table, but with the injust troubles i am worried.

 

[DanH84]

for some reason i think newcastle are going to put in a performance against us :/ damn them.

Butt is a liability most of the time. Will be Geremi and R.Taylor/Smith at CM against Man U. Having Guthrie back is gonna be like signing Fabregas.

Arsenal better score tonight :/

We've got to at some point! Was so close to doing it against Fulham.

 

[Viper²]

Brom v Arsenal might be interesting.

Awful defence v Awful attack (goal scoring). Can see WB getting a draw.

Our injury situation looks to be a bit better come sunday, Eduardo, Gallas and Ade might be back on sunday then Cesc and Rosicky (yeah right) back in 3 weeks. Theo a few weeks off too. Should leave us pretty strong for the run in, hopefuly we'll still be in sight of 4th and in the later stages of the cups.

Theo is first back, he might be back for Burnley I think. I can't believe that in 3 weeks we'll potentially see -

RvP - Eduardo

Rosicky/Nasri - Fabregas - Diaby/Denilson - Arshavin/Walcott

Arsenal are garbage at the minute but that is a very dangerous attacking formation and I really can't wait to see it . If only Flamini was in the mix it'd be the best midfield/striking formation in the league imo.

Sheffield Wednesday V Reading - Tuesday 19.45 Kick off.

Hope we win !
Lost 6-0 to them earlier in the season, but that was partially due to unforeseen consequences

Come on you owls !

 

[Tummy]

I'm off up to Sheffield Now ! Just gotta remember my season ticket

 

[FrankJH]

Has Neville recovered from his illness - or was that media rubish lile Rooney's "virus" ?

You sure about Theo? He hasnt even done any contact work yet according to the Arsenal site.

If we can merge our recent godo defensive form with that sort of attacking midfield / strikeforce in the next couple of weeks i can see us at least challenging for 4th, it might all just be a little too late though.

Aye, Wenger has said loads of times recently that Theo should be the first to return. I think I'm right anyway

I don't think the defence have come up against a team that have tried to score recently, or even come close, so I think the defensive strength is being over rated, I can still see them falling to pieces again when confronted with a couple of classy attackers (not an unfit Totti etc.)
