Sandro is out if the pictures are anything to go by.
Can't post a link while on phone but needless to says he looked like someone who had a elephant riverdance on his right leg.

It was announced Sandro has an operation on his leg earlier, he's out for weeks

89/90 won 1-0 at OT Lineker and 2-1 at home Lineker and Gazza. Also won 3-0 up there in League Cup Lineker Samway and Nayim

Nice one, I wonder would Gary tog out for us on Sunday? It'd be nice to have a striker with his prowess up front..

Anyone see how Sky are promoting the matches this Sunday? Basically calling it a day of Revenge for Arsenal and United. Am I reading too much into it or is that not a bit disrespectful to ourselves and Chelsea?

Agreed, I actually think they've done a great job promoting it like this. Both games are grudge games and there's no doubt that Utd will be up for this one and will want to right the wrongs of the game in OT.

Here Precious

Jaysus lads what are the chances of the game Sunday being called off due to snow..snow due to last 3 days...it's all bout outside the ground being safe..I reckon it cud be off...hope not

Living in Toronto these days but found out I'm going to be in London on Sunday for work. Complete long shot but does anyone have a spare ticket for the match against Utd?

If not, what are people's experience with the scalpers there (I know, I hate them too but it's been so long since I've been to whl and would love to go) - I've only ever gone over with a ticket already bought

Thanks

2nd Row Donkey

I have a feeling that you could be right.

Sky will be livid.

Hatch99

I'd say it'll go ahead , all depends on the amount of snowfall I suppose. It's a nightmare, I remember a few year ago, I was going to see us at Anfield and it got called off the day before I was due to travel, nightmare.

There'll be plenty of them about, wouldn't go near the tramps though.

My 2 cents:

Goalkeeper: Spurs De Gea can be good on his day but i still think we have advantage here.

Defence: United (with Vidic playing) have advantage. I think BAE should start to give us balance and Kyle Walker needs to be at his best. Also Rio will be having nightmares after OT so if it would be great to expose his lack of pace again.

Midfield: Spurs should have advantage here. I think Anderson has shown lately he can be really strong on his day but if Parker gets up to speed quickly this area of the pitch should (must) be ours.

Attack: United have advantage here, probably over any team in the world on current form. We can't afford to give them nearly as many chances as we did second half at OT.

I think Spurs have a good chance if we keep our concentration at the back and our midfield dominates for 90 mins.

Leinstersqspur

The depth of United's squad v Liverpool is frightening (considering Rooney was out too) and they have match winners all over the pitch. How do you stop the ball dropping to RVP? He's odds on to score at anytime!

That said, Parker and Dembele could make live difficult for their midfield. Bale, Lennon and Defoe are gonna have to be at their most dangerous...

I'm nervous already!:eek::eek::eek:

Easier said than done. Walker is exposed against quality opposition time and again. I'd prefer Naughton to be playing right back.

If Rooney or RVP drop out to the left to pick up the ball we could be killed with over-lapping runs or runs into the massive gap Walker leaves between himself and his centre back.

As mentioned by Frank, I think midfield is our key strength.

United are as quick as us on the break. It could be a game of counter-attack versus counter-attack.

My realistic prediction is a draw, but just like the game up at OT I hope we can sneak it by a goal.

COYS!

Will be gutted if same happens me, been looking forward to this one for a while.

Hatch99

I'd take a draw now.

Lads, this is Man U we are playing. Have ye forgotten 20 of the last 21 results. We will either be robbed, shoot ourselves in the foot or both.


P.S. Shouldnt we be in the other man uuuu thread.

Website saying the match is still on for now but that's so long as it doesn't snow again. Fingers crossed.

mickman

It's snowing all morning but not staying on the streets. Doesn't look like stopping but going to head to ground soon

The pitches for both games look perfect, just seen a live camera.

Match being called off wouldn't be the worst thing, RvP is in formidable form. Made shít of our defence last season at The Emirates and this season at OT (despite not scoring). Would take a draw all the livelong day.
