Not sure nines. I was at a corporate do man u v fulham and we played spot the away fans. It took quite a while to spot them marshalled away high level maybe a couple of hundred. An amazing stadium is OT but we can nick a point I reckon. Don't forget Blackburn beat them there
Beyond the obvious threats coming through the middle, United's flank work poses equally as many problems for most - especially at this stage of the season. Having thought long and hard about it, I reckon Hughes will know that the only way to neutralise Valencia will be by Taarabt asking lots of questions on our left. If that starts working, and we've already seen how Mackie kept Evra busy on our right, there's that much more of a chance we can stifle their central runners. Looks good on paper anyway!
247 Foolham fans went to OT. However..for Manure v QPR - its 11 v11. No one gave us a chance in 1992 and no one gives us a chance now. The players have nothing to lose, and AT in particular has the opportunity to prove he has the skill / class / mental attitude to prove he is a class act Head says Utd win by 2 or 3....heart says 1-0 away win with either AT or Barton scoring
Any big surprises in our starting line up? Thoughts? Knowing Sparky he usually starts the best he have available even though we have Swansea on Wednesday. Nice, the classic game on the Premier League channel now is our last league visit to Old Trafford, 95/96. I was there, 16 years old
We have no pressure on us today as the results went our way. But trust me all pressure is on man u as they know they have to win and are expected to win by most people. And that is good for us we just need to go at them and keep the crowd quiet. i've got a good feeling about today as i would rather be playing man u then someone else in the bottom 5.
I have a sneakin suspicion we'll get a 1-1 draw from OT. Anyway any defeat under three goals would be nice but then again this is football and every match starts from 0-0. C'mon urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr'ssssssssssssssss!
Nervous about today. A win could be crucial as Man $hitty go to the Emirates later on. We could be 8 points clear or things could take a massive swing in $hitty's favour.
BREAKING TEAM NEWS Manchester United v QPR (1330 BST) No Joey Barton or Bobby Zamora in the QPR line-up for Old Trafford this afternoon.
Team - NO BARTON... 01 Kenny 03 Hill 34 Taiwo 35 Ferdinand 42 Onuoha 02 Diakite 04 Derry 07 Taarabt 14 Buzsaky 10 Bothroyd 12 Mackie Substitutes 24 Cerny 06 Gabbidon 18 Young 32 Wright-Phillips 09 Campbell 21 Smith 52 Zamora
Zamora I'd guess to save him to bully Swanseas rooted to the ground CBs. Disappointing by understandable. Time for Betty to turn in a Spurs 2 nd half/ Man City performance. Barton??? Could be rested, but not even on the bench......horrible thoughts of a disciplinary flare up in house..... Edit - forgot about the yellow cards, reckon you have it Norway
LINE-UPS Manchester United v QPR (1330 BST) Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Scholes, Carrick, Young, Rooney, Welbeck. Subs: Amos, Jones, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Cleverley, Pogba. QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Diakite, Derry, Mackie, Taarabt, Buzsaky, Bothroyd. Subs: Cerny, Gabbidon, Campbell, Young, Smith, Wright-Phillips, Zamora. Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)
The yellow card amnesty is after this game, so it makes sense to drop Barton but JB cant play up front on his own. Weve done this before, field a weaker team so we can play full strength for a must win game and then we lose that anyway.
Suggests that your Manager doesn't rate your chances very high today and would rather concentrate on future fixtures.
