Mine kicked in after the Bolton demolition. As much as I wanted us to kick Marseille, and Reading was an unnecessarily & unfortunate distraction, this is the one giving me a hard 1 Also notice all my Manc friends (god help me) are nervous as hell too altho its better for them being away.

A lot of emotion showing thru those odds in my opinion. With ManU's recent performances past group stages I'm surprised they have such short odds.

I would like to see him featuring in a central attacking role rather than the wide left where he seems to have started games. Interestingly most of his effective sub appearances have been in either a central attacking or freelance role.

Yep we also need the Masch to t**t Placcy.

Good point there. Easy to forget there are fiercer crowds in places like Brazil where games are virtually played in cages!!! ...I would have to say though that nothing ..absolutely nothing, beats the tension at a Reds vs Mancs (spit) game.

Looks more like the root .. oh wait maybe's he's both! Like that line up - with Babel on for Kewell or Yossi on 70-75

Probably true - just doesn't strike me a dangerous partnership. Hopefully the work rate makes up for lack of guile

I hope Alonso is not risked (assuming not ready). Also likely to be off the pace after the layoff. Am warming up to Masch and SG in the middle for this game.

I would suspect JAR although he had a decent game yesterday by his recent standards.

Enjoyed yesterday but this is the big one. Always the epic. Dont expect anything less. I think we'll see the same line up with 2 changes 1) up front - Crouch for Kuyt and 2) Finnan for Riise with Aberloa going left back. Reina Finnan Carra Hyypia Arbeloa Benayoun Mascherano Gerrard Kewell Crouch Torres Depending on the score, bring Babel on 60-70 min. Can never underestimate the Mancs though - have too many potential matchwinners but I hope we go for it from the start.

we're watching the Manc game already here mate

Absolutely spot on... for once

Why start looking for consistency from Rafa now? Enjoy the win pal! SG has 5 days to recover..

Has that game been called live mate

Lol Kuyt

Why not?

Buy Nasri!

Is that dog poo on Lord Forsham's nut?

Wow decent finish by Kuyt of all people...

We do.... He's young, on the bench & still learning the English game

How do you "get in on target" and "blaze over" at same time?

Dont like the way we sitting back. Just one goal and they're right back in it...

Buy Nasri!

Oh dear - what has happened to Kuyt? Wemust have been poor for him to look decent Carra - up to his kung fu tricks again..
