Kean will have his players up for this.
Fighting for their lives and all that..


*insert chicken jokes*
 
We should win this one comfortably. Will need to keep an eye on Hoillet though.
 
Ermmm, Leroy, we are playing Blackburn. Or you just want to take the spot and edit it later? No problem my legend. no problem, but we better not lose points. My support is as ephemeral as snow on hot plate.
 
Leroy does things he way, we cannot understand.

LEROY!
 
Why do Wigan have a fecking tree on their badge anyway?
 
feck me Leroy, I bet you struggle with pre-ejacualtion!

I mean, the Wigan badge and Wigan kit? really.... :lol:

Although I do wish it could be Wigan again, now that would be Christmas!!
 
Just leave it like this, Leroy. Maybe if we pretend we're playing Wigan in every match we will win them all 5-0.
 
Hoilett off injured today for Rovers, hopefully he's only out for 7 days.
 
With these Sharky, yes I do.

Anyway, all changed! it's all part of the matchday ritual, to make the thread incorrectly, then edit it later.
 
Pogba should be on the bench at least. If he´s not going to be involved in B´burn at home, then when?

Maybe when he gets his act together about his contract instead of trying to hold out for more money like a knob?
 
Leroooooooooooooy JENKINSSSSSSSSSSSSS
 
We really need Smailling and/or Jones for this one.
 
----------------de gea/lindegaard---------------------

rafael---------smalling-------------jones--------evra

valencia-------carrick-------------giggs--------nani

---------------berbatov-----------rooney----------

subs: de gea/lindegaard, welbeck, hernandez, fryes, park, gibson, macheda

given that rio is reportedly struggling with his back again, i don't think he will make it for this game. hopefully smalling and jones both are.

giggs might have to start for the 3rd game running. taking him off early today means he could be fine for another start in 5 days time.

park was excellent against wigan so would not surprise me if he gets a start, while it is hard to leave berba out of the line up now, especially after today's performance and his 5 goals exploit of last season.

harsh we don't know the true facts behind pogba contract situation, no need to slag him off.
 
I really think we might drop points here. Everyone so fecking over the hill by the result against Wigan, this might show everyone that we are not entitled to win. I think we are going to get a hard game considering all the injuries but let´s hope the lads get a win




:devil:
 
Do we have City away in the FA Cup after this? If so, Fergie might leave some players out. Jones and Rio probably won't be risked, Evra might get a break

De Gea

Valencia--Carrick--Smalling--Rafael

Nani--Rooney--Gibson--Park

Berbatov--Welbeck

We're at home and blackburn are in free fall. At worst we'll win 1-0
 
Team should be...

GK: De Gea

RB: Rafael
CB: Evans
CB: Ferdinand
LB: Evra

RM: Valencia
CM: Carrick
CM: Jones
LM: Nani

CF: Rooney
CF: Berbatov

Subs: Lindegaard, Fryers, Gibson, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Welbeck

Didn't see the game today but what with Berba's current goal scoring burst and his 5 star show against Blackburn last season he has to start.

Jones and Smalling have been ill, Evans has got a calf injury (two weeks), Rio's got obviously a back injury.
 
I wouldn't rest Rooney myself, he's one of those players that should be playing if they're on a good goalscoring run.

Berbatov has to start, possibly Welbeck on the left if Nani is getting tired? Or Valencia on the bench and Nani on the right.
