I told everyone It would be a test wednesday night and low and behold it was, even after everyone said we would thump villa.
But tonight is the true test. TBH I think it will go either way 3-1. Can see utd overwhelming us, even though their midfield is poor, due to the home fans and the atmosphere. Or I can see us killing the atmopshere, getting oscar and hazard on the ball and taking the game to them.
Now I've said that it will probably be 0-0
We need to keep Van Persie out the game and keep up a high tempo, something we have not done for 90 minutes so far. Hopefully Jose had a ploy to conserve energy and I'd like Lukaku to start or to come on at half time after Ba has tired their defence out(he usually plays very well against utd)
to add to this we have to watch out for the referee as always against utd but we should be fine if we keep it tight and don't switch off(luiz everytime hernandez plays for example).
would be happy with a hard fought draw even if its scrappy but I'd love us to put down a marker and for oscar, hazard, de bruyne to show that they are actually on their way to become world class.
It's games like this that stand out where henry, cantona, zola etc stood out and made a difference.
So....

I hope so Ifarka but even so wouldnt it be good to have a decent striker(i still rate ba but no1 gives him fair criticism) and then unleash the beast at half time

Isn't the statistically most likely person to score against us, Javier Hernandez, out injured still?

I hope thats true Brummie but RVP cant be too far behind. He scored atleast 4 against us at arsenal, and they were shat

Just checked the Beeb Utd v Chelsea match preview, this paragraph is from it:
'Rafael (hamstring) is out for a month, with Nani (groin), Ashley Young (ankle) and Javier Hernandez (hamstring) not expected to be involved'.
If Hernandez is out it's a plus for us, I fecking hate it everytime I see him warming up to come on.
I'd love him to play for us, he's such a pest and he certainly knows where the back of the net is!

scored two goals in one game i recall one of which was a clear offside but dont seem to recall him being prolific against us
