Man Utd v Liverpool

You also try to be Davo, who in turn is as much of an embarassing insecure hypocritcal Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime as you are.

Sort of fitting, then.

We may be favourites, as we are the better team with a better manager, but it doesnt mean too much in reality...theres a reason they say betting is a mugs game, but if you think it makes you feel manly...try growing a moustache, for example...or snapping the legs of spiders.

One point behind you with 2 games in hand. Still in Europe while you're still in the league cup. How do you have the better team with the better manager again?

I always like the build up to any United v Liverpool game. Two great teams with a long history and achievements .... yes, yes Liverpool have 5 European Cups etc etc

As for who is better? Well, lets find out tomorrow ;)

I would go with the same team.

This isn't the type of game for Vidic to make his debut in seeing as he hasn't played since November. Evra hasn't had enough time/played the right match to settle into the team.
 
VDS
Gary Rio Wes Mickey
Giggs Fletcher Smith Richardson
Ruud Rooney

Subs: Howard, Evra, Solskjaer, O´Shea, Saha
 
I suspect we'll start with...

VDS,
Neville, Rio, Wes, Silvestre
Fletcher, O'Shea, Smith, Giggs
Ruud and Rooney

I personally would play..

VDS,
Neville, Rio, Brown, Silvestre
Fletcher, Smith, Rooney, Giggs
Ruud and Saha
 
MU tend to play some very good football against good teams, the problem is when we have to play teams from the bottom half of the table. I think we´ll get away with 3 nice points, 2-1. RVN, Giggsy
 
not sure about this game i think it will be very scrappy but united will scrap a 2-1 win and probably someone like ferdinad will score the winning goal
 
Oh well, it's 12 against 11 so you're favourites now anyway. Riley is going to be the ref. Wonder what the odds are of someone getting sent off or a penalty going against us.

I dont rate Riley...he is a poor ref....and this thing about him favouring United...everytime the ABUs complain, he doesnt give anything for us even if we deserve it.

would prefer Poll...at least he tries to be fair.....though he not all that hot either.
 
sissoko available, agger on bench, garcia out with knee injury for ten days.

-----------reina--------
--finnan---carra---hyypia--riise--
--gerrard---sissoko--alonso---kewell
-----morientes----crouch-----

Except he has only twice wrong given penalty for us.
And in fact gave you lot the penalty at OT.

Last I heard Garcia was out with a knee injury so I guess Rafael will probably want to play Gerrard on the right anyway. Is Sissoko likely to go the African Cup of Nations though? I haven't heard anything about that.

Yeah, reports say Garcia will miss the game through injury. Probably work to their favour as well with Gerrard on the right against our LB.
 
Better for us to go into this game without Garcia, he's less influential away from home.

I'd play Cisse down the right personally, and allow Gerrard and Alonso to link up in the middle and destroy your excuse for a midfield.

Thats what you said last season, and then Keano shat on them from a great hight, this year its Smiths turn.

nah, id rather have gerrard and sissoko both in, and see some tackles flying around.

should be a good match for sissoko, as long as he isnt booked too early in.

hot atmosphere, tackles flying in. he'll be quality. and a great ball winner, which is what we need away from home.

Yeah, that's one angle...

Another is that Alonso and Gerrard in the middle wouldnt give Fletcher and Smith a look in....

Men against boys, that'd be. We'd completely dictate the game and tempo...

I bet you hope Garcia doesn't play, after he bust up Keane at Anfield this season....

*I reckon evra will get a chance, he's up against finnan and garcia, should have garcia in his pocket the whole game and run rings round finnan with giggsy.
 
Question to united supporters:

If Scholes was declared fit to play, would you want him to start? Even though he hasn't played a game for a few weeks now.

Yes. We miss his passing and creativity.
 
Yeah i feel the same way.

I suppose even a half fit Scholes is alot better then a centre midfield pairing of Fletcher and Oshea.
 
DJS said:

Smith and Fletcher along with Scholes had no trouble containing Makelele, Lampard and Essien. Why would they have trouble with Gerrard, Alonso and Sissisko?

Fletcher had no trouble helping Scotland get a one all draw over Italy against Gattuso, Pirlo and Cameronese, in fact Lippi singled him out for praise saying "Players like Fletcher make it hard for us to get any rythem going".

One off games are not a problem for Fletch or us, we usually rise and play to the occasions. It's our constantcy that lets us down.

However I'm sure these facts won't stop you replying to this post with the usually :lol: or :wenger: though.


2-1 us, although you'll go on to finish second in the League.

Next season will be a different story though.
