Grand Slam Sunday

Draw

ok, my last post on the match before tomorrow. should be in manchester right now getting pi**ed and ready for it, but work means im on the other side of the world .

i hope united will win, i think we will win, but it will be a scrappy game. if its an open game, i think it will suit united. Ronaldo and giggs to be the stars for united and rooney to get the winner.

enjoy the game.

Has anybody noticed Micah Richards is on the Sky Sports adverts?

I thought i saw his face in one this morning during Soccer AM, and then it showed that bit at the end with loads of players from all 4 teams... And sure enough there is Richards in his Man City kit???

What the hell is up with that?

Draw

Heh, just been on the beer with 2 ManYoo, a Liverpool, a Chelsea Bandwagoner and an Arsenal.

It nearly came to blows,:eek:

And there was me ranting about it not being real football.:D

Feck that tbh.

Biggest games in the EPL this weekend, and I'll be watching.

There'll be a 0-0 and a 1-0. Dunno in what games, dunno who'll win.

I think Chelsea will beat Arsenal, and ManYoo/Pool will be the draw, which will blow the title wide open, and it'll be a three horse race.

If Pool beat ManYoo and Chelsea win, the run in will be absolutely mouth watering.

Well you did have the other 2 Man Yoo fans to back you up;


I must have a word with your GF about her taste

Just on the Anderson / Lucas debate, I think both are decent players, with Anderson getting more game time due to United having more opportunities in midfield.

Which one has played better this season? Anderson probably, but we won't see what these players are really like until next season, so giving them time to adjust is a necessity.

Indeed, oddly what Anderson has probably done best this season has been as a defensive force, tracking back and winning the ball. I don't think anybody would have expected that. It's clear from his previous stuff and what he's doing now, he has still to barely touch the surface of his attacking ability. Lucas the same.

Off to ****ing Kilkenny now, gona watch the match in some random pub there, always fun being the only person in a pub shouting at the screen.

United to win 3-1

whatawaster

2-1 Liverpool. I'm going to have a Twirl Egg beforehand and then a Moro one in celebration.

I am, however, hearing strange rumblings about Riise starting instead of Babel. I would have to reconsider any predictions in that case.

Draw

I reckon United win, dunno the score and a draw in the Arsenal - Chelsea game. That would finish off the dream scenerio with the prior 2 results in midweek. :cool: Cheers PHB!

Tusky

Only a couple of hours away. Really excited!

In regards to the result, the smart choice would be to go for a 1-0 win to Utd based on past results. I think we are in better form though so hopefully we can sneak it. Skrtel and Mascherano to have big games.

Nailz

Draw

Yeah I'm also getting excited! Myself and PORNAPSTER will be leaving for Old Trafford in about 20 minutes! Wooooo! :cool:

Its impossible to call really. Form does tend to go out the window when these two meet. Both are always up for it no matter how they are playing.

Having said that, as a United fan I`m more worried than I would have been three or four weeks ago. Liverpool have hit a real run of form with Torres looking every bit a £20m+ striker and Gerrard striking up a great partnership with him.

United for their positive results lately, havent been playing that well imo.
Its all set up for a fascinating match and the only surprise result for me would be if one team takes a beating by 2 or 3 goals.


My Liverpool mate is calling up to watch the first match here in my house and then we`re off to the local for the London derby. Heres hoping I`m the one with a smile on my face on the walk there.:D

Daysha

Draw

United to win 2-0. Tevez in the first half and Ronaldo in the second
Arsenal Chelsea to end 1-1. Lampard first, Fabregas equalises

Thanx 4 The Fish

Draw

first drink that was not water for forty days, first taste of chocolate, now am looking for my first taste of a win over Man U for Rafa in the league. The good news is that if we lose I can drown my sorrows on my first beers for forty days.

I predict Liverpool to fall apart united to stroll to a 4-0 ronaldo with two and two shared

guys i'm in a pickle, i need to collect someone at the airport and i'll only get the catch the first 30 minutes of the game, and as you know utd v liverpool nothing exciting ever happens in the first 30 minutes. i need a radio station with coverage, anyone know any station covering it?

bennyx_o

Draw

Radio 5 probably will. 606 or 909 on AM

As for today, I reckon 2-1 to Man Utd, with a 1-1 draw in the Arsenal Chelsea match.

It'll be patchy in places, usually when something of interest is happening.:)

Do they still use the premierleague radio feed for any of their games,Mike? Heard this commentary a few times and it was fairly decent

Could be that, or of course he could be coming back to celebrate in your face

What way will they lineup ?

Brown----Rio----Vidic----Evra

Carrick--Anderson

Ronaldo

mike65

No Tevez? Glad Rio is playing either he is fit or not fit - Torres to explore that!

Mike.

No Tevez though? And Giggs playing??

Looking at the line up I wonder if Anderson will play off Rooney or if they will play a tight three in midfield.

Aquos76

By the looks of Man U's line up, its going to be 4-5-1, would have much preferred to see 4-4-2. Looks like a team that has been told to go out and not lose the game

having said all that I`d still have Tevez up front with Rooney

lordgoat

Draw

Giggs was always going to start if fit. Fergie wouldn't leave him out. Need a big performance from Carrick and Anderson today defensively and switching fromdefence to attack quickly.

Expect Tevez and Nani from the bench to quicken the tempo in the second half.

United

bennett looks set to give utd as much as he can.

Good ball there for Rooney, keeper quick to collect it

liverpool need to settle back down, utd in the ascendancy right now.

Ref is a homer alright.

United

that was beautiful, smug utd fans cheering a pass that they thought was going out for a throw and nando leaps and makes a mockery of the system.

mike65

Good work from Babel Alonso and Kyut setting up Gerrard

Mike.

United

awful awful defending
