As long as we don't play a pairing of Carrick-Hargreaves in the centre... We shouldn't be bothered. I'd suggest Pique play (haven't seen him since away to Roma) but Vidic has been in scintillating form and saved us today.
Suspended with start 7 days after the 5th yellow card of the season, and because of those three games will be played in 6 days they will miss the derby game if they get a 5th yellow.
stupid imo with this 7 days rule.
Yeah I'd like to see Pique play aswell, impressed me in the games I've seen him play this season (Aside from Coventry). I'd like to see Anderson and Nani play aswell, but we need to stick with a strong a team as possible because Spurs won't be easy.
Oh right
Didn't realise the Spurs league game was on the Saturday, figured it HAD to be a Sunday game on TV. Can't believe it's a 3pm kick off on a Saturday
i think we should line out like that.
but maybe take brown off and give simpson a run out, same with ronaldo if were winning and put eagles on.
im going for a 3 - 1 win too us.
ronaldo / rooney / tevez the scorers
berba for them
Thought I heard Carlos said during his pre-match press briefing on Friday mentioned that Pique was doing well in his rehabilitation. Was surprised but that probably explains his recent absence and adds weight to Fergie's remark the Friday before that the number of training injuries we've been picking up was ridiculous.
No doubt Berbabtov will be playing like his career depends on it in this game.
We have to play Spurs two times in 7 days, i dont like that.
i think we should line out like that.
but maybe take brown off and give simpson a run out, same with ronaldo if were winning and put eagles on.

agree with that, but eagles for Ronaldo? Hopefully not
Me too. If something goes our way, the next game they will be extra pissed.

...then he will be signed following the match
-------------PIG---------------
----Brown-Rio-Pique-O'shea----
Nani-Hargreaves-Anderson-Ronaldo
---------Teveth-Saha---------
Rooney instead of Saha if Saha is injured
2-0 Nani and Anderson
----Brown-Rio-Pique-O'shea----
Nani-Hargreaves-Anderson-Ronaldo
---------Teveth-Saha---------
Rooney instead of Saha if Saha is injured
2-0 Nani and Anderson
Our second game against them (Away) is more important as we are head to head with Arse and we cant slip up.
Exactly right, I would have prefered to have played the cup tie after the league game
This game will be a wide open affair. They know they can't try and shut us down at Old Trafford, they will sit back a bit and try to hit us on the counter.

Hardly see this being an 8 goal affair, Spurs don't have it in 'em. Does anyone know who the referee will be?
Rest Ronaldo!!!!

Scholes is a possibility for the game but if anything he should come off the bench. We should win this 2 - 0, too much attacking class for spurs flimsy defence to handle, though they will be a much better unit with King back in there, he looked good against Arsenal in the Carling Cup last week.
Feck I hope not. Too late for him.
He's getting a week in the sun, he should be raring to go this weekend. He's already expressed his eagerness to play every game... He's 22 not 32. Plus Spurs aren't exactly a ten bob team...
Setanta premium in the U.S. (PPV) Dish Netwrok channel 455. That's it for the U.S.
Chimbonda is suspended for this match, so I guess it'll be Stalteri at RB.
Or maybe young Chris Gunter will get a chance following his Spurs debut against Reading in the FA cup replay match, where he did well even tho' he played in his less favoured LB position.

Agreed. we will need a full strength side out. spurs have the players to cause us some problems if we aren't on our game.
We need to bounce back in style now after our disgraceful 'defeat' last match.
Wellbeck to start?
