i'll expect height and "strength" at the back though, so probably smalling at rightback, not a twin

the lads are up here for two days training at St Andrews and playing golf


big Wazza was complaining about the heat in training:shakehead:


gonna pop up later and try and sort a derby ticket from big Rene

My Bolton fan boss tells me that Blackburn are worse than Stoke for long balls and long throws. Could be a possibility of Smalling or Jones coming in at RB to vcounter this a bit. I'd like to see Rooney up front with Clevers in behind too, Wellers was poor last time out and Hernandez doesn'rt do enough outside the box at the moment.

De Gea
Rafael
Evans
Rio
Evra
Tony V
Strootman
Carrick
Young
Clevers
Rooney

They play first and will go top again.. we'll have to wait until Monday night, but most of all, we're all getting a bit too smug and complacent because we've caught them up and now and edged in front.

As Fergie pointed out, the season isn't 3 months, but then again it doesn't end in march either.

I can I still remember vividly my frustration at us just needing to get the ball in the net there two years ago.. and in the end we missed out on the title by 1 point.




soz

can we not just get past blackburn first

DDG

Rafael
Evans
Rio
Evra

Young
Carrick
Scholes
Valencia

Rooney
Welbeck


picks itself really currently if Nani and Jones are out. Possiblity of Smalling over Rafael to counter any long ball shite perhaps.

i'd be happy with that, tbf.

either way, i don't think it's going to be an easy game.... no more than a goal in it. either 1-1 or 1-2.... think it was borsuk who said it - if we win tonight city will really wobble and i don't see them beating arsenal as a result. their fans are already spitting their dummies out, as are their players. tonight is a big game and there is NQAT....

cleverly

it'll probably be scholes and carrick. Park will be behind hernandez.

Going to be a draw at best.

I know he's got a website the bastard but I rather like him as a player, when he's actually fit.

It probbly will be Scholes and Carrick as I don't think we've signed up Strootman yet. Very much doubt your strikeforce will be correct.

draw at best tonight, we very rarely win there, it's gonna be a frustrating night for all concerned especially wazza who'll pick up a card or two out of frustration.

Wellbeck to start, with Pea coming on for the last 15/20 mins to nick us an equaliser.

Our away form's been pretty good and Blackburn are a poor side, if we can handle the physical aspect we should do well, particularly given the form players ike Rooney, Valencia, Scholes and Young have been in.

blackburns home record is very good for a side near the relegation zone, and considering how the other teams down there done this weekend they will be right up for it. this will be a draw at best

Hernandez either hoofing a ball 20 yards with his first touch or being offside for 80 minutes is not going to do my nerves any good.

Our away form has been excellent, we've won 11 of 15. Blackburn have lost 9 of 15 home games.

As have we away. I'd still have us as favourites. As I say, if we can handle the physical aspect of it, we have the attacking options to cause them major problems. Bit weird seeing you echoing Fuzzles routine, sad in a way.

anyone know who the ref is tonight?
