Big match at 1:30 today, obviously normally the arsenal chelsea match would be bigger but there's not a huge deal riding on it tbh.

 

[Visionary]

Oh how I will laugh if Big Sam keeps Blackburn up and Newcastle go down

We'll all go and support Man U so won't be that bothered.

Oh stop being such a bitch all the time, you only have yourselves to blame.

Only Newcastle could go through 2 messiahs in one season and still end up relegated

No-one called for either of those, as I've already said, so I don't see how its the fans fault.

 

[Ripper]

Probably see a freshened up team from Fergie today. Expecting Scholes, Giggs and Berbatov to all start.

Well, it's obviously not the fans fault, they're the best in the world.

I wouldn't be laughing at the fans, I'm laughing at how badly run the club is when they take the decision to sack Big Sam who then goes on to save Blackburn.

Just stinks of Karma.

I'm sure I read something that we will be one game away from playing the maximum number of games (excluding replays) this season

 

[Ripper]

Yeh, just the FA cup final we'll miss

Quite hardcore.

Quite hardcore.

IF we win both the CL and PL it will be an utter monstrous performance this season.

 

[Ripper]

Confirmed team:

Van der Sar
Rafael Evans Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Fletcher Giggs Park
Berbatov Tevez

Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, O'Shea, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Rooney.

Tevez is very lucky to be starting

 

[BaZ87]

Leaving Rooney on the bench in a derby? I'd have thought he'd have been the first name on the teamsheet in this type of game.

suppose you have to look at him in training and assess if he's a bit tired.

Very lucky. I'd have dropped him. This is not the time to be sounding off to the papers right at the business end of the season. If he keeps it up he could not make the champions league final even on the bench.

 

[atpbx]

We could have the league tied up in a week, we play our biggest rivals, and he spews up that line up.

 

[Tummy]

Looking forward to the Manchester Derby.

Not too sure about Berba, He's not being overly impressive so far this season.
Pleased Tevez got a start, I do like that man.

I think United will win today, Manchester City are awful away from home, only won something like 2 games away all season. Manchester United are hitting really good form.

 

[Andypandy333]

Ricky Hatton's standing with Rio in the crowd. Thought he was a Man City fan

Yeh, odd place to be sitting !

I'd have thought he'd be in a box or at least with City fans ! Maybe he's done a Gimp and now likes Manchester United

 

[Andypandy333]

Maybe he's done a Gimp and now likes Manchester United

Too many knocks to the head maybe?

 

[Tummy]

Too many knocks to the head maybe?

Maybe ! he took quite a beating the other day ! maybe he woke up and found United

 

[Youstolemyname]

Maybe Rio murked him and told him he had a ticket in the Citeh end
