Any thoughts on the United match tonight?

I think the fact we've always been playing catch-up has added to the bitty nature of the season.
Liverpool always seem to play before us & are usually 2 games up on us in the League table etc..
I think more than anything else though, the lack of goals this season has been so unusual.
We just haven't clicked at all from an attacking point of view.
Very few comfortable or convincing performances (regardless of the opponent)

A win tonight will get things up & running nicely though.

Pretty sure Anderson and Tevez won't start after Sunday. Anderson to play at weekend, though.

John £#%&!ing oshea over anybody?

No.

Only to be played when all over options have been used.

The blip is gone, we have Rio & Vidic back & the team was basically rested a week and we're at home where we have a 100% home Premier League record against Portsmouth; won five of five, with an aggregate of 13-1.

Agree with this. I genuinely feel that the 'bigger' players willhave sensed that Fergie's team selection on Sunday indicated where he feels his priorities lie. I think they all realise now that this is not the time to be having a blip, and I reckon its gonna be the start of a very good run. sure we might lose a game here and there but I think we will be playing well from now until the end of the season.

If Liverpool are going to be genuine title challengers every year I dont think my heart can take it..

How would he feel if he read that? Absolutely shattered.

Agreed. It's all I've thought about all day. I swear I've never wanted a League title more...the stress is almost unbearable! I had to force myself to watch that dippers game last night, it was £#%&!ing torture

£#%&! me, that news about Rio is depressing. If there was even the slightest doubt over him, why did he play 120 minutes against Everton? Evans hasn't been particularly good for a while now and Vidic seems to loose the plot a little without Ferdinand next to him...

With all the stuff in the papers today today about Scholes' 600th game, I'm sure he'll start. Again, his form has been quite poor since returning from injury.

After blowing a seven point lead, we've a real chance tonight. I £#%&!ing pray we take it

i'd rather he never started giggs and scholes in the middle together ever again

scholes needs someone to do some running for him like anderson and giggs is more effective when he can drift around and be covered positionally

i think we see the worst of carrick when he plays with these 2 nowadays

MOTM - Calamity James,you just know the @#%&!s gonna play a blinder.
