Sunday 4pm Can the Tesco bags stop UTD's, unbeaten win 67 game streak? A win for UTD will crown them champions of China Premier league for the 7th consecutive time
By my reckoning they have lost only 5 times at home all season and have conceded very few at home in the last few months. Not an easy one for us at all.
That's not really a record to be proud of, given they've only played 14 home games. The bigger issue is that we've only won five times away from home all season, and none of those wins were against good sides.
This game is the ulitmate litmus test for how this season is likely to go. All evidence suggests we'll lose, it's just the type of game and opposition that van Gaal seemingly can't get his head round. They're a good side, tough to play and it's at their place. It's got loss written all over it. Should we win however, well that would bode very well for the old top finish. Like I say though, got a loss written all over it. I'm not confident!
I'm still very uncomfortable with the nature of these matchday threads. Louis van Pulis vs Tony van Gaal That is all.
Never like to see a player injured but I am glad Chris Brunt is out of this game. He is very good at dead ball situations and we are **** at defending them, it could be a big help for us.
Spurs/Arsenal bottle it for a draw. If there's any fcking chance we win this, we'll be 2 points off Arsenal.
Perfect result for us - all we need now is for Villa to beat ££££ and Watford to thrash Leicester................ if only.
Another game right of the back off Watford. Very different side but confidence is high in the team. Our atyack suddenly looks a concern for the oppositions. Martial and Rashford are going to be something elsw. 1-0, early goal and depay to keep it in the cornwe for 88 minutes.
