Manchester United v Stoke City

Please don't say that when i'm about to get on a 200 mile train to Manchester!! :nervous:

Snow fell overnight at Old Trafford but no suggestion from anyone that game could be cancelled. Less than an inch thick. #mufc

Ground staff already sweeping areas around the stadium to ensure public access is easy and safe. #mufc
 
Wasn't Scholes supposed to be back around New Year?

VDS
Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Nani Carrick Fletcher Giggs
Hernandez Berbatov

I like this team. Maybe Anderson instead of Fletcher.

Is Nani back?

If he is then I'd give Obertan another run on the left instead of Giggs who can be saved for the cup game. If we drop Obertan now it'll smash his fragile confidence, a home game is just what he needs and the boy will shine.
 
What are the chances Nani will play? Or will he, injury permitting, be given some extra couple of games off so he's ready for Liverpool?

3-0 win for us.

Berba x2, Vidic

Doubtful, but I think WBA away was the time for extra break to be ready for Stoke. Haven't heard Fergie to say his injury was that serious to miss yet another game.

Read something about VdS having a calf injury to add to his flu and Rooney is back in training but wrapped in cotton wool for game against scousers.

No Rio would be a pain in t'arse.

Ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :annoyed:
 
Need VDS and Rio vs Stoke and their aerial bombardment. Won't be too comfortable with Evans in there given his recent form :nervous:

Delap's throws vs PIG might be a bit of a nightmare :lol:
 
Live in Greece......Again!!!

Will watch the match live here in Greece. I have watched every Man United Premiership match live this season. Getting rid of Sky TV was the best thing ive done. Have Nova, the local Greek satellite system and get a choice of 3 Premiership games on a Saturday afternoon, that's in addition to early or late kick off's.This is a lot cheaper than Sky. Nova advertise that they will show over 200 live Premiership games this season.
Why do Sky charge for, what is a basic Sports package?
 
Checked out the Stoke forum today, they don't really like us, do they?
 
No wonder Rio isn't playing, he had a huge dinner yesterday. It will be interesting to see if Smalling is ahead of Evans in the pecking order.
 
If the rumours about absent players are true, I reckon we'll field a team similar to this:

Kuszczak

Brown
Smalling
Vidic
Evra

Fletcher
Carrick
Anderson
Giggs

Berba
Hernandez
 
DiscoMirror saying that Rio and Rooney are both out of the match today.
 
Just found this on a stoke fan forum, about Fergie

He is not only thick, he is extremely inarticulate, mean minded (remember he will still not talk to the BBC) and bad mannered. So there! A chimp could manage United with all the money at his disposal, and they have been at the top a long time before he arrived.

Idiot, and luckily he does get shouted down by other stoke fans.
 
Rio does not need to be rested for this really. A weeks break anyway after the Liverpool game.
