He did. Our attacking impetus went out the window when he was subbed.

Not at all confident about this, reckon we'll lose.

tbf pompy have looked poor in the CS and against chelsea so theres no reason to expect them to play well

Giggs fit, Hargreaves may play a part and Wellbeck's in the squad.

No new signings though.

Brown. Always a bit of brown.

Edit: The post on RI, think they took it from Teamtalk or the BBC. Featured a few quotes from Fergie's press conference today.

throb, what is the obsession with playing a system which united have never played before and which no top team in the world plays? there's a reason 3-5-2 only works in computer games, you know...

Why the £#%&! do we get so many injuries???
No matter how well we do, how big our squad looks at times we're always one injury away from O'Shea in midfield.
I just don't get it.
I'm assuming Saha is still injured as well?

Don't be fooled by Portsmouth's no-show against Chelsea. That's an annual little arrangement between F£#%&! & Uncle Harry.
This is Portsmouth's Cup Final. We'll have to play a blinder to get 3pts.

Whos going down lads

Need to be in full voice for this one, Only win when we sing

Come on lads

Can't £#%&!ing wait

Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that his squad will be boosted by the return of a handful of key players in time for Monday evening's trip to Portsmouth.

Carlos Tevez, who missed last weekend's draw with Newcastle after a family bereavement, will play after featuring for Argentina on Wednesday, giving United a vital extra body in attack.

There is also a chance that Owen Hargreaves and Ryan Giggs could be in contention after training this week, while Anderson will return this weekend from Brazil's Olympic team.

Ji-sung Park has also taken great strides in recent days, and has played a full part in training all week, but will the trip to Fratton Park will come too soon for him.

"Tevez is back," Sir Alex told his pre-match press conference. "He’s available. Hargreaves and Ji sung Park both trained with the first team this week, I’m delighted with that. Ji won’t be considered, Hargreaves we’ll assess on Sunday to see if he can play a part.

"Anderson will be back on Sunday, so that’s an extra body. Giggs has trained the last couple of days, plus all the players have come back from internationals fit, which is a bonus, so we’re ok in that respect."

The United manager also confirmed that Michael Carrick and Cristiano Ronaldo are on schedule for their own returns from injury - three weeks and three months respectively.

which computer games does it work in

3-5-2 is a tremendous system and only fear (or caution) makes it such a rare sight. perfecting these tactics would open up many of the tedious football matches we see quite beautifully. and the flexibility it offers is phenomenal.

most people these days would probably present my 3-5-2 as 1-(rio)-2-4-1-2 or some such %@#$&!s anyway.
