Get the program, start it about 30min before kickoff and select the channel "test sports" from the list. It should automatically start your Media Player after a minute or two. It takes time for the stream to settle, hence the 30 minutes.

And the stream might be bad if not enough people are on, so don't whine to me.
 
Preview: Everton v Manchester United

MANCHESTER United have no fresh injury worries ahead of their Barclays Premiership clash with Everton at Goodison Park.

Darren Fletcher (knee) and Ryan Giggs (hamstring) both came through their substitute appearances in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday without a problem and are included in the squad.

Wayne Rooney is also expected to be involved against his former club.

Following Sunday's thumping 4-1 win over Newcastle in the FA Cup, Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for the same again at Goodison as United resume their battle with Arsenal for second spot in the Premiership.

“The players realised they would have to work their socks off on Sunday,” Ferguson said.

“Our experience of semi-finals has been that they’ve always been like that. The team you play against will work very hard and will fight for everything. You have to match that and we did.

“We also played some very good football. They all had to work and they all did well. We want exactly the same tonight.

“We got back to basics on Sunday, and going back to them is always the best way to move forward again.”

Everton with be without skipper Alan Stubbs (shoulder) and Italian full-back Alessandro Pistone (hamstring) for the game - and there is a major doubt over defender Gary Naysmith (ankle).

Naysmith has been carrying the injury for a while and got through most of the club’s last match, the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, before being replaced by 16 year-old James Vaughan - who went on to become Everton’s youngest ever first team player and goalscorer.

Striker James Beattie, who returned to training on Monday after a knee injury which has kept him out since early February, is unlikely to be considered.

Everton (from): Martyn, Hibbert, Weir, Yobo, Watson, Cahill, Osman, Arteta, Carsley, Kilbane, McFadden, Ferguson, Bent, Wright, Plessis, Vaughan, Naysmith.

Manchester United (from): Howard, Carroll, G Neville, Brown, Silvestre, Ferdinand, Heinze, P Neville, O'Shea, Fortune, Ronaldo, Keane, Scholes, Miller, Kleberson, Giggs, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Smith, Bellion, Fletcher.

Three charged over cup clash

THREE men have been charged with violent disorder following clashes which took place after an FA Cup fifth round match.

More than 30 people were arrested in fights before and after the Everton-Manchester United match in February.

Merseyside Police confirmed the charges relate to the matchday trouble but it is not known which specific incident the men are alleged to have taken part in.

They were named as Terence Sweeney, 39, of Northwich, Cheshire, and Steven Wetherall and Mark Feeney, 33 and 30, both of Liverpool.

They were bailed to appear before Liverpool magistrates on Friday, when they will each face a charge of violent disorder.

The charges come as Everton prepares to host Manchester United in the Premiership tonight.

Merseyside Police will step up security for the match and officers will work with Greater Manchester Police to spot hooligans.

The Blue House pub, which is close to Goodison Park and has previously attracted troublemakers, has been ordered to close for the night.

The FA Cup match in February was highly charged because it saw the return of Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney to his first club.

It did not kick-off until 5pm on Saturday February 19, allowing extra time for fans to drink.

Not bad. Pretty much what everyone expected, right? Come on United!
 
I'd like to see Fletcher on the middle, but looking at that he might be on the right with Scholes and Keane in the middle and ronnie on the left. Or 4-3-3 with Keane Scholes and fletch in midfield with ronnie, ruud and rooney up front.
 
wheres silvestre nowadays? you guys think fergie is seeing how brown will cope, for when they offload him in summer?
 
Come on United ! (Let´s do Scousers a favour :mad: :devil: )

Or could we offload both rio and silvestre. :nervous:
 
I thought Giggs would of been on the bench as he came on against Newcastle!
No news today about injury flaring uo etc.

Smith as the only attacking player on the bench ? Hope we will just need to use a defenders to keep the score.

fecking hell, everton got 4 attackers on the bench to call upon whereas we only have one. :nervous:
 
Silvestre deserves everything he has got - i.e. dropped He's simply not been playing well enough recently. However, why is smith on the bench & Fletcher starting? Seems a touch negative to me

Smith is a striker and fletch a mf. Easy really. :)
 
Got to watch Tim Cahill tonight, we've struggled with runs from deep into the penalty area all season, and we've been through plenty of spells where we've been useless in the air. Both of them are his strengths. With Duncan Ferguson up there, who has a nasty habbit of scoring against us, aswell to offer the physical and air presence we've struggled in the past, it could be a tought night.

Keep it tight at the back and I think we'll do enough.
 
Not really Smith can be in midfield - as he's often proved at Leeds & for us - he has that extra bit of grit plus he can score goals unlike Fletcher (but I don'tmind if fletch proves me wrong tonight) :rolleyes:
 
Interesting that they start with Ferguson they are obviously going for the aerial route - we'll see how our "best defender in the world" Ferdinand copes. hope he is still the worlds best at the end of the match & then he can continue to re negogiate his contrat with us - can't he?

I reckon that he'll stay clear of Rio and stick around Brown & Heinze (especially).
 
Dippers 1-0 up.Lua Lua denied a perfectly good goal in the first minute.
 
Come on lads! important game.
What's with Silvestre's absence yet again? Top notch team, we should be able to win this.. touch wood.
 
First United game we don't have live here since September or something :(
