As has been said, this won't be easy, take them for granted and we'll pay for it. Also having seen that, this game will be more open than many people first thought IMO.
We must keep a close watch on McCarthy, Santa Cruz, Bentley and Pedersen.

Id go as far as saying that a win today would be our best result of the season, Blackburn are a bloody tough team to beat
I'd rather have Pique on the bench than O'Shea tbh.
watch pederson and friedel have a great game..
Yeah absolutly
so far vs TOP 4 this season......................
Arsenal (H) 1-1
Chelsea (A) 0-0
Liverpool (H) 0-0
plus
still unbeaten away from home!!!!!!!!
Its gonna be a tough game for sure
We need to score first to open the game

This is the best team we have played against so far this season. A victory here would be fantastic. But I've a bad feeling going into this without Rooney. If Saha limps off early on then we're back to playing Tevez as our only striker. If we win it's going to be tight, maybe 2-1.
Thanks man, we love your words
Better than Arsenal/Chelsea? I think not...
I agree. Blackburn are a harder team for us than Arsenal. With Arsenal we know we have chances to hit them on the break. With Blackburn you know they're going to be difficult to break down. They could get a 0-0 if they want to play for that.
With no Rooney and with Saha still feeling his way into the side, Giggs was probably selected because he breaks into the box better than Nani.
giggs has reached legendary status. he will play his alloted games regardless of the form sheet.
amen and amen. i expect he wants the extra attacking talent in case saha is still rusty, as well as him and carlitos not exactly being old hat.
Just what i expected from the team lineup. This team has the quality it needs to win in every position and on the bench. Cmon lads, go out there and get us those three points.
i just got to know they are showing it on tv where i live no streams for me tonight 
Great to see Anderson starting, sooner or later he will be one of the first names on the team sheet
Its on a good form lately but not the best team we have played against
The more I think about who we should play in centre mid, the further away I come to getting an answer. Any two of Carrick/Hargreaves/Anderson is a fantastic combination.
Saha starting is fantastic.
Giggs starting I don't mind, him or Nani I really can't decide either.
4-4-2 I love.
O'Shea on the bench ahead of Pique is good because he is comfortable at either full back.
Great selection all around. Hope for a great match now!

This is going to be a good game. Our players are quite well rested and I think we will see a good game today.
A number of points of interest:
- Can Anderson maintain his form bearing in mind that Carrick is ready to come back into the side at any time?
- How will Tevez and Saha dovetail?
- We will see whether Giggs' regular rests are being of much benefit to him.
Refreshingly, Blackburn are coming with a 4-4-2 so I envisage an open game.

if anyone knows what channel this is on, either on sopcast or on tv ants, please pm me!
IMO it's Hargreaves who should make way for Carrick, not Anderson
Stupid for them, good for us. That said they do have a pair of competent strikers now, but going 4 on 4 in the midfield vs. United is tough for anyone
i just hope that Friedel doesn't think that he's superman once again
Going 4-5-1 just makes it a matter of time.
We always give teams chances to attack. Going 4-4-2 they give themselves a chance to capitalise.
Any links anyone?
Shit.Alan green commentating.
I'm not.
Hopefully the Arsenal draw still stings (and the DK win doesn't cloud the concentration) enough to make the squad bear down for 90 minutes full. Rovers will be tough and looking to upset the applecart.
Alan Green
I'm confused, is this a 3pm or 4pm kick-off? The thread says 3pm, my stream link says 4pm
It's just kicked off
who's the co commentator?
Alan Green
Yep. Took him about 30 seconds to get a dig in re the kick off time.
More constant alan green slating of united then.
It started
at 3pm
at 3pm
which local radio station is match on?
Sorry, what was the reason of the silence?
