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

Don't think arsenal will play the people required to double up on him - would need to be sagna and eboue on the right (if Ronaldo is on the left) and that means Walcott doesn't start (and I reckon he will). Don't know who they could put defensively on the left of midfield to cover with Gibbs.

Same here, been jittery all day.

What odds was the 0-0 last night?

8-1. Figured it was great odds when 1 team in the game are capable of playing and are looking for a 0-0.

you can only gloat if Ronaldo gets a hatrick. If that happens I won't give a flying f*ck. (as long United still win)

If it was they'd be disgusted with us. Backing hat tricks, 3-0, 3-1 lol.

Nasri's defensive play has come on hugely. I expect him to play LM and help Gibbs out.

I was more so talking about the amount of bets you put on ha.

Anyways, Ronnie hasn't scored a hat-trick has he?

Yeah, United are excellent, and Arsenal are merely "okay"

I could really do with €300, but can't spend more than €5. Some one find me a sure bet @ 60-1.

I'm beginning to get nervy. It isn't helping that I've an exam at 9am tomorrow and am supposed to be studying. I have a glimmer of confidence about tonight (more than I've ever had for a CL semi-final - I don't do confidence), largely because Arsenal have a depleted team.

I think I heard commentators say at the weekend that it was the 28th time he had scored twice for United?

Celtic bookmakers have a special, if your back a first goal scorer and he scores first and scores again later in the game they double the odds. I'll be backing Ronaldo with them!

Get some overconfident Gooner to lay United at 60/1 and you're laughing!

In fact, is Frisbee around...? :pac: Maybe not overconfident, but oversilly!

When the price is actually 6/4???

Morzadec

Anyone think Walcott vs Evra could be a key battle tonight?

The former looks on good form even scoring a couple of goals as of late. The latter was done a couple of times by Aaron Lennon and Walcott might be even pacier than the Sprurs winger.

Big test for Evra and it will be interesting to see how he reponds. If I remember correctly this time last year he did a pretty good job of keeping the best player in the world fairly quiet. But he looked sluggish on Sunday and his form as of late could be called into question. I've put a few quid on Evra first booking at 12/1, think its a pretty nice price as Walcott could get away from him with his acceleration.

What do the respective fans think?

Yeah, this is one I'm worried about. I think, between them, our midfield can handle Fabregas, Vidic and Ferdinand should be okay with Adebayor and Bendtner, but Evra hasn't been himself lately and Walcott's had some good form.

Evra at 12/1 seems a good bet, though it depends on whether Scholes is playing

Lol, I think you can get Scholes at 10/1 if you're interested!

Evra is one of the players on 1 yellow from suspension so I'm guessing thats why the price is decent.

I've done Man Utd 2-0 with Vidic to score at anytime, 30/1 special in local bookies. Is it any wonder you don't see bookies drivin a Lada.

redout

I would put money on a score-draw.

Haven't seen anyone driving a Lada since my father traded his in last summer.

He got a nice Unicycle for it.

Tis 80-1 in paddy power for him to score first that is.

Ha ha nice. Team up yet?

Hank Scorpio

3-0 utd me thinks

Xavi6

United 2-0 @ 8.6
United 3-1 @ 19
Rooney 1st scorer @ 8

GuanYin

if Wenger plays 4-4-2 it will be tight.

If Wenger plays 4-5-1, I think the contest will be over before the second leg.

Liam O

United to win 2 or 3-1 and Rooney to get booked and miss the 2nd leg :eek:

What time is team announcement?

keane2097

This could be a classic tie...

Man I've been thinking about this game for much of the last few days, so excited, but also extremely nervous. Arsenal's defence is a big worry for me, and if Fergie starts with the right players (i.e. no Berbatov) we could be in for a rough night. But with players like Nasri, Walcott, Adebayor and Fabregas in good form I think we'll be dangerous in attack. Can't freaking wait for kick off now.

COME ON ARSENAL!

very suprised about Giggs. Delighted to see Ando & Fletch though - we should be strong in midfield and have plenty of fight.

Very surprised to see Tevez start (though it means we've no impact supersub!)
