Betting
Toon to win is 10/1

HT Toon to be winning 1-2 full time Man Utd to take it 3-1 is 100/1
Cisse FGS and Toon to win 2-1 is 200/1

ACS's View
Being a realist we will most likely lose this but I do fancy us to score.
I'll be putting a few quid on the 2-1 Cisse combo too as 200/1 is just too good to be true.
If, by any chance we win I'll put a picture of me in a onesie up here for you to laugh at.


Here's a poll to kick things off... Will we win, lose or draw?

 

I can see a 3-1 defeat here...

 

Having predicted the thrashing of QPR I'm confident of a 2-1 win for the lads.

 

On a roll Jim

 

I've got it on good authority that Van Persie has suffered delayed reaction to today's incident and his head has fallen off, Ferguson's gone on the p*ss for a few days and Scholes and Giggs can't get permission from matron in the old folks home to go to Old Trafford without helpers.

 

There's a rumour that Ant and Dec have sent in a Geordie Granny to help 'distract' Rooney too

 

without our 3 best midfielders and demba playing for himself rather than the team. I can only see a Newcastle victory

 

Haven't got my usual optimistic feeling about this game, maybe that's a good sign.

 

There's some stupid results every week, maybe we can be on the better end of it for once! Going for a 2-1 win, 2-0 up by half time, queue onslaught and hiding behind the sofa...

Either that or we'll get trashed... Man Utd don't often lose points two games running! But cometh the hour, cometh the Bigi!

 

I think we will lose this but by a single goal.

 

Is it Howard Webb again?

 

No its Mike Dean but Webb had a decent game in the reverse anyway

 

Hopefully RVP is out of intensive care mind

See what Fergie did there.... he's rallied the troops so expect a bit of a seige on Krul's goal. Wiley old fox.

 

I can't wait to drive my Man U supporting family there and back (10 hour round trip) while they get pissed. Humbug

 

I predict a slaughter here. Man Utd 6-1.


Can't see a way out for us, not gonna get points at Old Trafford playing the likes of Mike Williamson(who to his credit has been playing decent the past games).

 

Iiiitttt'ssss mmmmmaaaatchday!!!!!!!!!!

 

Woooo!
Though like abc ppc abc has said, I can see us being mauled, especially now as Twatiote got himself suspended for this.

 

Giggs and Scholes start

 

no fat boy though, right?!

 

not even on the bench
