I know it's a bit early for this thread, but

Rio out for a month :jumpnana:

Have a good feeling abou this match.

It also says below that that Vidic is making his first start against Wigan on saturday :sulk:

I though he was out for 4 weeks?

It's about time Vidic earned some points for me in my fantasy side.

:angry:

More importantly

Is Ferdinand DEFINITELY out of this game??

Because VDS is also out for awhile too!

Defensively United could be vulnerable :pray:

Ferdinand is definitely out, yeah; and I think VDS is too. Vidic will be back against us but, I think, not against Wigan this weekend, so it will be his first game of the season.

--------------------- Foster
Brown/O'Shea -- Vidic -- Evans -- Evra

that's pretty solid, but certainly not impenetrable

I'm taking more confidence from the difficulty they're having scoring. I think that's a more serious problem for them, and a greater boon for us.

These things have a way of working out for Manchester United.

I think we can probably afford a loss in this game, given how early it is in the season.

No we cant

While it would not be nice, it is an away game to a big4 side, so it is not that bad an issue. Not like losing to Hull or anything.

Bring them on. Hope we take advantage of their injury plagued defence.

No doubt 2-0 for Manc, Rooney and Park to score. :coffee:

Fuck you all!

We will win 3-0 :scarf:

Yes, we can (two can play at this childish game, sunny Jim)

If we lose hen so be it but a loss will probably start a collapse as usual as well as giving Mancs confidence after their poor star to the season.

If we get something out of this game especially with i being at the prawn market, it will deflate the mancs and keep them at arms length from us

True, if history is anything to go by, a defeat would knock our confidence, perhaps irrevocably.

However, on the face of things, looking at our fixtures, a seemingly straightforward defeat wouldn't be too damaging (i.e. no 6-1 demolition or last minute heartbreaker)

Will Vidic be suspended in time for this after hitting out on Rodallega?

:popcorn:

Also, Man Utd have to decide whether they send Evans for surgery - his persistant injury flared up again this weekend apparently.

He'll get off scot-free.

Of course not nothing has been mentioned of it, they didn't even condem it on MOTD, just the reaction.

Once again a United player gets away with it :rolleyes:

I'm going. :woohoo:

My uncle can't make it so he's kindly passed his seat on to me. My first trip to Old Trafford, lets hope it's a good one. :jumpnana:

We will hold you accountable if it isn't.

hope you have no short legs and small hips as the seating is tiny/narrow and standing is cosy!

The food is shit so go early and find the food chain places just up the road :good:

Never been to such a quiet place :tumbleweed:

the good news -- for us, for the free world -- is that apparently Webb didn't see it or include it in his match report. This opens it up to FA review. Seems to me a pretty open-and-shut case: off with his head.

Unfortunately, i cant use voodoo since we actually do suck and you lot dont this season.

But, since you lot always managed to play well against us when you sucked, hopefully we can do the same and get something.

------------------Almunia

Sagna-----Gallas-----Vermaelen-----Clichy

------------------Song
------Cesc/Denilson------Diaby

Bendtner-------RvP----Arshavin


If Diaby plays well we can own the midfield only troule is he played well on Saturday so isnt due a good performance for a while.

If Cesc isn't fit then Denilson should play although it will probably be Cesc/Diaby not Cesc/Denilson

Denilson deserves to stay in

Vidic has been let off by the FA but Evans looks doubtful.

Rosicky could be back for this match :dance:

really? based on what?

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/f...saturday-return

Any more questions?

He'll be back and back well.

TR to set up Arshy to set up Van Persie to set up Gallas

Super Tom to be super Sub? What a time to come back to fitness!

And then he'll get injured again :rolleyes:

Maybe. However, if this is the only game we get out of him I am glad it is this one.

:ninja:

SAF is going to be so scared of Arshavin against his crock 4 Gallas is going to score a hat-trick with his arse :good:

The thing is, I wouldn't actually be that surprised :lol:

If we have Rosicky fit to start, that would replace Cesc perfectly with Denilson and Song covering. If he can only be on the bench, Diaby has looked good and will be a real asset on the counter attack.

Either way we must be confident

I'll be happy with a draw.

we're gonna fuck them up

I dreamt we lost 3-2.

However I also dreamt that Livepool lost to Bolton (who were cleverly disguised as Sunderland).
