    Seems like Van Gaal will be in charge. Let's hope he maintains his winless record against the Swans!

    Van Gall is in limbo with that result , 50/50 chance in will be in charge for our game ....I hope he is cause it will mean their team will be in limbo , without a new manager to impress with that first game surge players seem to get .

    You honestly think that Curtis and Monk before him would leave Taylor out as bad as he has been, that guy must have something on everyone at that club to still be starting week in week out, cant defend and his distribution is woeful. If Routledge is fit I start him in front of Barrow and bring barrow on when Manure players legs have tired a bit as Mo is fast as a bastard.

    Saw an interview with the leg end Dennis Law. He was asked what would be the score if the United team he played for played the present side. He replied 1-0. The interviewer said" only 1-0" Well we are all in our 70's he chuckled.

    When past managers couldn't come up with a "Plan B " , I expect and await Curtis's " Plan D " against ManU .......his 5th game in charge , wouldn't even begin to hazard a guess . One things for sure though , we have a happier squad ....barring a few players that want out and will be given their wish soon ..imo

    Agreed. At least everyone now knows they have a chance of playing.

    For us to win we have to be able to score goals and that is where we let ourselves down, So i think Man utd who need to put their recent form behind them will win this by 3 or 4 goals. I would love to be more confident but our lack of goals wont let me. We need our best experienced players for this game like Rangel,routs and Leon who knows what it is like to win at old trafford but it's a big ask with the way we are.

    No....sorry. As poor as Utd are playing they have some quality players and I think they'll target this game as a must win for their Manager. I'm seeing little to inspire me in our team right now - at least as an attacking force - so 2-0 home win. Hope I get to eat some of that humble pie PGF goes on about so much.

    We may lose , we may win , or we may draw .....but it will be close .
    No one will overrun us the rest of the season imo.

    They looked a lot better against Chelsea (from the MOTD highlights at least) than they've played for a while and could easily have scored a couple and I expect them to come out gunning for us. They've seen how we've been playing and know we have a scoring problem too.

    This could be a real backs to the wall for large portions of this game. The longer we hang in the more frustrated they'll get (obviously) but I can see another 0 - 0, with a bit of luck. Saying that Van Gaal may well revert to his usual style! Let's hope so.

    Nothing wrong with predicting a 2-0 defeat, but you can have some humble pie anyway.
