Ming
Flanno Skrtel Agger Johnson

Allen Gerrard Hendo

Suarez Studge Sterling

Clattenburg has been appointed for this. Could be worse, at least Webb didnt get it.

 

[Modo]

Well it's not Howard Webb

Checked Clattenburg's record in games he's reffed us, looks good.

12 games, 6 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss. 3 penalties given.

Are you blind?

 

[red_maradona]

Big one. Will Lucas and Sakho return?

 

[gkmacca]

Are you deaf?

 

[Hansern]

Started to write the thread. My 4 year old woke up, after she went back to sleep I finished the post.
Hahaha, 3 threads.

 

[Hansern]

Merge the threads please mods.
Happy with Clattenburg, could have been a lot worse.

I'm reserving judgement on Allen until this time next year but at the minute, his name on the starting line up does nothing for me.

Look at it whatever way you want but it would be a defensive move.
Some will point to that being the sensible thing to do away from home and point to our win at S'ton as proof but our strengths lye in the attacking third...lets play to them.

You can bet Mata, Januzaj, Rooney and RVP will all start...match them up.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I think this is the first time in SCM history we've had 3 pre-match threads for the same game ...

I'm reserving judgement on Allen until this time next year .

Joe will be delighted Gary, thanks.

 

[Ryan]

Sterling's a certainty to come back in to (a) negate the threat of Rafael and/or Evra on the flanks, and (b) launch counter attacks from deep.

 

[Ryan]

Oh and by the way, we're going to win at Old Trafford. Stick that in whichever thread you like.

 

[Hansern]

Think we should have that in all the threads mate

 

[Dreambeliever]

I can't see anything but an emphatic win for us. All this talk of it being a cup final for them and being up for it goes out the window once we go 1-0 via studge in the first 10 mins. They will crumble

 

[macdadi112]

Something tells me we're gonna whoop some a$$..

 

[FoxForceFive]

I think we'll win.

However I have a niggling feeling they'll be trying to break some legs along the way.

 

[FoxForceFive]

All three threads merged.

You'd think you lot were excited!

 

[Mystic]

Are you mute?

 

[Dreambeliever]

Decent ref too which is great.

Suarez to win a pen.

 

[KopRed]

A late 90th minute winner from Henderson will do for me. If we go into the 70th min with a 2 goal lead someone's going to have his leg broken I reckon.

 

[Ryan]

I was convinced we were gonna win until I read Dreamy agreeing with me.

Not so sure now.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Fellaini will break Allen's nose with his elbow.

 

[Halmeister]

We won't win.

 

[Frogfish]

All about pride, the clubs, the fans and the hatred ... not so much about the points until afterwards. They will score, we will score more 1-2 or 2-3.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

I think we'll win.

However I have a niggling feeling they'll be trying to break some legs along the way.

Yep, had those thoughts aswell, wouldn't suprise at all.

Had a feeling for ages that we are going to run them over in this match, oh how sweet that would be but at the end of the day any win will do.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

We beat them early on in the season when we weren't half the that we've grown to be.
Fucking hammer these cunts. Win for the ages.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I was convinced we were gonna win until I read Dreamy agreeing with me.

Not so sure now.

Must be what's holding Allen back too. I think he's superb

 

[Glock21]

Suicidal to leave Sterling on the bench. Unless you want us to get beaten. Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez, Countinho MUST fucking start.
