Personally I think Rooney should get booked tonight no matter what. We can beat Arsenal in the Emirates without Rooney, but I really doubt we could beat Barca or Chelsea in the final without him.

I think we need a win tonight as imo it will be hard to beat Arsenal in the emirates (a la earlier this season) that's not to say if we pull a vintage performance out of the bag we could do it, but it would not be easy. i certainly wouldn't recommend Rooney getting booked tonight "No matter what".

Just want this to start. Three hours of work, trip home, listen to RTE crap for 45 minutes (entertaining crap no doubt) and then finally the game.

Come on!!!

Ronaldo: He is a cancer Bill.

Sometimes the RTE crap is better than the game itself

anything will be better than last nights game

And giggs to mark his 800th appearance for United with 800 goals, giving us a defendable 100 goal advantage going into the away leg.

Sure Ronaldo could probably score a few straight from the restart from the halfway line

If Anderson starts tonight he will score (ye heard it here first)

Sorry but not going happen. His goal will come in either the second leg to send his through, the final to win it, or a league goal to wrap it up.

I can see Arsenal going through over 2 legs. Score draw tonight.
Fabregas the key man.

A double of Anderson + Song as anytime scorers is 23/1


I'm going for it, I have a feeling it's going to be a weird night

I think he'll defo start (thankfully!) given he was rested at the weekend and I think he'll have a massive game - lots of energy.

I'll go for 2-1 to United (fingers crossed) Fabregas to score in the first half and Ronaldo and Rooney in the second half.

Can't wait for the match.

I fear the worst for Arsenal tonight to be honest, that back four is way to soft for my liking, between silvestre and toure the pair of them make to many mistakes, Gibbs is ok but not for this kind of game. Sagna has been consistant but if the Sagna who showed up against Liverpool shows up tonight then its all bad news at the back for Arsenal. Hopefully I'm wrong.

3 - 1 United

I hope, but for some reason I think his first goal will be massive (in terms of importance) but it will be a lucky goal that comes off his arse or something.

3 - 1 United

I thouht the same myself. If we get it right defensively and we play anything like we did in 2nd half Vs Spurs then we could be looking at a few goals.

Betfair have it at 19/1 for United to win 3-0. So in the hope that this happens I have a few yo yo's on that. Not much chance of it happening in all honesty though, even Fergie said he could see there being only a goal.

Spud83

Oh god. Think I'm gonna have to bet now. If it happens and i hadn't bet I would hate myself.

This site is a bad influence.

Just watched SSN there and Gibbs and Silvestre are slight doubts according to them.

If this is true then Arsenal's defence is going to be severely depleted.

Are you factoring in the 8 minutes of "fergie-time" at the end to the equation?

I hope Silvestre doesn't play to be honest, or at the very least plays at LB instead of CB!

Odds are 13/1 for United to win 3-0

Don't seem like great odds.

It's 19/1 on betfair.

Also, read my other posts, I'm not all that confident of 3-0, very very slight chance, i thought 19/1 was good so had an ould flutter.

If Gibbs and Silvestre are out then Arsenal are in serious bother.

I'd have a look at Arsenal. Very enticing. They got three against Liverpool last week so who knows.

69/1 on betfair, 45/1 on powers. I don't even want to bet on this...if we won 3-1, that would be enough for me!

They got 4 and they had I think it was 5 shots, 4 of those shots were Arshavins and he scored them all and he isn't playing tonight. Can't really judge Arsenal on that tbh.

got the 3-1 bet myself.

Had to go for ando after the talk on here. You know its set up for some good gloating later.

Ronaldo is always the "safest" bet for a United scorer.

I like to bet for a bit of craic and fun, if I win then all the better.

I don't usually place bets (other than matched betting) but I got an inkling last night on the 0-0 and am up a few quid.

Really starting to look forward to this game I have that nervous excitement instead of the usual nervous nervousness.

tbf to my judgement

this game is made for Ronaldo

could be up against an inexperience LB in Gibbs (who btw looks a brilliant talent) or out of form sagna

unless they double team him Ronaldo should have alot of freedom

Dave!

Right I've decided.

Vidic is scoring first @ 20/1.
