Some team news is arriving and stuff so I thought I'd start this.

Saturday
Blackburn v Hull, 15:00
Fulham v Arsenal, 17:30 Setanta
Liverpool v Middlesbrough, 15:00
Newcastle v Bolton, 15:00
Stoke v Aston Villa, 15:00
Tottenham v Sunderland, 15:00
West Brom v Everton, 15:00

Sunday
Man City v West Ham, 16:00 Sky
Wigan v Chelsea, 13:30 Setanta

Monday
Portsmouth v Man Utd, 20:00 Sky

Owen is on the bench, so it'll be the same team as against Man U I reckon, with Donaldson making way on the bench. We really need to win this game though, otherwise the Man U game will have been in vain.
 
I think the title should be 23/24/25th August ;)

Can't say there are any standout fixtures this weekend. Quite interested in the Blackburn v Hull game though.
Portsmouth v Man Utd could be a good one.
 
Not 100% confident that we will pick up 3 points tomorrow, even with home advantage. We looked poor against 'Boro last weekend and Sunderland did very well against Liverpool, and had they had a decent striker they would have won it. Although not decent, Cisse and Healy are improvements on what they have.

I reckon we will sneak it, but it wont be pretty, but we really do need it, as Chelski and Villa are our next 2 games.
 
Not entirely confident about Monday, but then again, Tevez will be back and he's all that was missing against Newcastle and Portsmouth haven't looked too clever in the 2 previous games against us this pre-season, but of course they'll want to make up for the embarrassment Chelsea handed them last Sunday.
 
What's the chances of Evra playing lm with somebody like O'Shea at lb? At least that way you'll have some sort of pace on one of the wings.
 
Evra could do it, but he's too much of an asset at LB to move him to be fair. The alternative could be to throw Fabio in at the deep end, or as we saw last season, stick Rooney on the left.
 
I'll put my life savings on Middlesborough putting 10 men behind the ball for the whole game, I reckon we'll win but it won't be pretty.
