Portsmouth vs Manchester United Wednesday 15 August (19:45 BST)

Last season Portsmouth pressed us at Fratton Park, and we couldn't handle it. How much ball did we give away? Every player tonight has to be trusted with the ball under pressure. We have showed we can't handle being pressed by a complete unit and when teams really have a go and we are in trouble.

With the likes of Brown, Vidic, Giggs all expected to start tonight it could prove to be an absolute killer.

insane. Anyway I hope Pompey come to play tonight. They better not shut up shop and try to do a Reading. If they attack us we can counter attack them every time and hopefully win the game.

Brown-----Ferdinand----------------Vidic------Evra
------------Carrick---------------Hargreaves------

To be fair though, we did have Richardson last time, and he was responsible for giving the ball away that lead to their first goal.
 
i expect to see this image a lot tonight :)

Not very optimistic about this one, Portsmouth will give us problems. I reckon we'll drop 3 points

sometimes it's good to see the doom and gloom before a match. normally when we're extremely confident that we're gonna thrash the opponent we come up short..

so here's to a good time tonight
 
Bench?

Does anyone have a link to radio for the game? I'm outside of the UK so I don't think fivelive will work very well.
 
Good lineup Come on Lads!

Now i have to find a bloody stream!
 
Today its my bithday and all i want is a win :p

We haven't actually scored from open play in competitive competitions in about 490 minutes of football ;)

City away, Chelsea away, West Ham home, Chelsea cup final plus extra time, Reading.

That makes no sense...Eagles ahead of Anderson and Hargreaves???

Do radio commentaries even exist anymore?:P
 
Why can't Hargreaves and Anderson even makes the bench, its ridiculous.
 
Heard that Campbell and Mendes were doubtful, fingers crossed
 
I was hoping to see Saha on the bench but I suppose that would be like hoping for a miracle.
