Manchester United vs. Birmingham City F.C.

JerryHandbag

I hope the north/south Ireland combo does the biz in central defence! Its the John and Jonny show

This is not good. This game just got a whole lot tougher.

Birmingham have serious defensive issues, missing a whole load of key players, United should have enough today with JOS and Evans in the centre..

ShooterSF

That defence would scare me but at least it's at home to a promoted club. Shouldn't have too much to do. Better today than away to one of the other big 4.

D.S.

Teams for today

TEAMS Manchester United v Birmingham City
Man Utd: Foster, Fabio Da Silva, O'Shea, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney. Subs: Kuszczak, Brown, Owen, Anderson, Giggs, Gibson, De Laet.
Birmingham: Hart, Carr, Roger Johnson, Queudrue, Vignal, Larsson, Ferguson, Carsley, Fahey, McFadden, Jerome. Subs: Maik Taylor, O'Connor, Phillips, Benitez, McSheffrey, Parnaby, O'Shea.

CR 7

Yeah, i think o shea and evans have proven they can be relied on by now. And we're playing birmingham too.
:pac:

Nani vs Stephen Carr.

Come on lads, this really should be a win.

Sky and EA sports have been in cahoots.

Thought Raf was injured

WUM I think

Picked up off the Man U website - clearly they can't tell Rafael and Fabio apart:

What a lightweight side! Still Rooney on his own should be enough against any Big Eck side.

PHB

Carrick and Rio not risked to be fit for Wednesday it seems.

Gona be an interesting game. Defence is weakish, lets see if Evans and Fabio can step it up. Midfield is a little weak, Fletcher needs a big game.

Eh?

ShooterSF

Brown's pre-season rust keeping him out of the team? I predict Sky's cameras show more of Owen on the bench than Foster in goals...

The Super Sunday graphics at the start. Looks very like Fifa.

It has taken Redknapp 1 sentence and 10 words to say "Top Player".

KevIRL

fukkin hell those trousers are very tight on Redknapp. My eyes! My eyes!

Paul Tergat

Not a team that fills me with the greatest of confidence but should be enough in attack. Nice to see JOS getting the armband - Scholes never takes it as he as always hated the attention/fuss around it, typical of him.

This should work. It usually does and they have it listed.

Have you tried justin.tv, adthe.de or iraqigoals?

Yeah MIN its really hard to know what will work until the game actually starts. I've often watched buildup of a game and then it either just stops working or another event is shown.

When it starts I would try:

Off to the pub I go!

ESPN's "Super Sunday" and "Football Focus". They're pretty good at coming up with names for their shows. How do they do it?

D.S.

More on Rio...doesn't sound good...although BBC are reporting something completely different to ESPN who are claiming it's his back...

1323: An update on Rio Ferdinand for you: he apparently sustained his calf injury in training on Friday morning and will go for a scan on Monday morning. Until that happens, Manchester United don't know how long he will be out of action for.

Villain

O'Shea and Carsely are the captains, great to see two Irish players leading out the teams, hopefully Carsley might wear the green again.

Heres hoping Brum get bet:-)

Hopefully not long - and at least it's not a recurrence of his back problem. Seems Carrick's absence is only tactical, thankfully.

I see Fergie's best mate is in the crowd.

definitely, 2 arms around him and held him back. Lively enough start. Birmingham not scared to go forward are they?

Sully

Nice shot from Rooney there!

Great shot from outside the box from Rooney there.

Good save.

Xavi6

Thata boy Joe. Top save
