Bearing in mind the incidents on Sunday's game, and the ridiculous idea of the Chavs asking their fans to attend in Halloween costumes in order to scare the United team, I sincerely hope SAF has instructed our players to keep cool AT ALL COSTS in tonights game. Its almost certain the FA will be pretty brassed off with all the nonsense from the bad press surrounding the Chelsea team, both for the allegations and the bad mouthing to the ref, that they will more than likely have instructed the Ref not to tolerate any verbal abuse from ANY of the players. So tonight might be the perfect night for United players to keep the lip buttoned, avoid any foul language to the referee and officials, and let Chelski players do all the four letter mouthing in the game. If the Chavs try thier usual tactics of foul mouthing every time a decision goes against them, they could very well end up with most of the team on at least a yellow, and with a bit of luck, 3 reds this time instead of 2!
This is a match SAF and united cannot 'lose'. If they lose, they are expected to lose anyway at SB and will have one less silly cup to worry about. If they win, especially with the reserves, he would have got one over Chelsea and di mateo and dealt them a f**king psychological blow.
Mikel, Mata, Cahil, Luiz, Cech... Hazard and oscar on the bench They know they won't be in the title hunt at the tail end of the season and are really giving this a go.
This Butner guy has proved that he is one of the typical modern fullbacks, all attack no defense, but Ando and Hendo are showing a lot of maturity. Thank God, Butner's off, chance to see Powell in action.
Twice Nani gave away ball near Chelsea's box and both the times ended up Chelsea giving a penalty, no wonder he is not a regular starter.
