I think he had to stop playing after his guide dog was put down...

But you all forget the quality save he made v Beattie, one on one right at the end. I was sat in the stretford end for that game and I think I'd have taken a beating if Beattie had scored that for a 4-3 win.
 
Sorry, but I had to drag that up - I have to every time we play you. That, and the time we put 6 past Schmeichel:

I remember that game.. You didn't hold on to your players. Bergovic did he go to west ham?? Ostenstad too went elsewhere didn't he?

I used to love watching your mob play back then Le Tiss was just a joy to watch.
 
We will be like kids in a sweet shop come Wednesday. We have all enjoyed the journeys to the likes of Hartlepool etc, but to be going to Old Trafford again is great.

United should win, of course. But it is Mauricio's first game, and we are playing well. I just hope the game and the atmosphere are better than when we visited Anfield - what a dire experience that was. Our midfield is playing much better now than when we met at SMS. I just hope they all remember to turn up and not be overawed. Maybe the plan behing taking them to Nou Camp was to get them ready for Old Trafford. This'll be my first visit since it was extended.

Could we have another 3-3 draw like we got a few years back when you had that Italian keeper playing? Maybe you could get him back for old times sake.

I likt to be reminded of that game not because of Taibi's howler, but because of Pahars' goal where he nutmegs Stam.

Easy 3-0 Utd win on Wednesday. Two for RVP.
 
Dont want any complacency, Saints are a good team who are better defensively then they were in the 3 2 and Imo will stay up this season so we will have to create some good chances to break them down, hopefully G and S will be rested and Anderson will play with Carrick, Rooney hopefully will start aswell.
 
Saints fan here going to the game on Wednesday, just wondering if you can answer a couple of questions.

Am planning to catch a train from Old Trafford train station after game (9.57pm), 10 mins journey to catch a connecting train from Manchester Piccadilly (10.28pm).
Believe Old Trafford train station not far from away end, is this right?? Will probably have to leave game a couple of mins early anyway but just wanting to know what access to station is like after games with queues etc.

Old Trafford train station is the cricket gound, not the football ground. You'll know the way back if you came in on it but it's a stroll up then down the old Warwick Road and onto Brian Statham way.

It'll be busy.
 
my team for wednesday :

De Gea

Rafael

Ferdinand

Vidic

Evra

Valencia

Carrick

Cleverley

Kagawa

Rooney

Van Persie.

I assume you mean the Man Utd railway station, not the Old Trafford Metro Station? The train station is right outside the South stand, which is the only stand without a second tier. You'll be in the South East corner so only about 20 yards away, and I'm pretty sure you can walk straight out the SE quad and only the platform, but bear in mind that everyone from the South stand and most of the Stretford End will be trying to go the other way to get to the Metro.

Access to the station itself shouldn't be too bad - 90% of people use the Met so the platform usually isn't too crowded, but you will want to leave a bit early to get ahead of the crowds - trying to cross the concourse when 25,000 people are walking along it will not be fun!
