West Bromwitch Albion vs Manchester United (R)

[sitati_kituyi]

Playing Mod today :D

So it's still mainly Saha who's out, maybe we'll see Ruud given a rest for Smith and Rooney to play upfront, Fletch, Ronaldo, Scholes and Keane in mid.

RedNews had a list of some interesting stats regarding WBA today. Bottom line: WBA suck now, sucked in the past, will suck in the future, and MUFC should destroy them. Uhhhh - let's hope both teams know that going in and play accordingly :)

Manchester Evening News is reporting that G. Nev (virus), & RVN (calf) are doubts for Saturday. However, Giggs (hamstring) should be available.

Of course on www.manutd.com, SAF is saying RVN should be available.

We need THREE POINTS no matter who we put out there. THREE POINTS.

Get it done, get it done early, get it over with, and may Arsenal, Chelski, Everton, Villa and M'boro draw or maybe even lose.

Oddly enough, my wife is really sympathetic towards WBA. I wouldn't call her a fan, since she just doesn't care that much. But for some reason, she always asks me how they're doing, and if their highlights (errm... or lowlights) come on FSW while she's around, she'll stop what she's doing and watch.

No clue why, really.

[jammybastard]

well call me crazy, but I think I'm actually going to pay the $30 PPV on this one just so I can see the Scallies route the Gooners on Sunday.

[bigtoga]

You so crazy... You're right - you shoulda spent the $300+ to buy the EPL package lol. There's no way I'm spending $30 to watch a crap game in November when, realistically, we aren't in the title hunt yet. I'll pay to watch two good teams play but I could give a rat's ass about WBA or some of these other shite teams. I'll save my cash for when we play Arse, Chels, Pool, or maybe even City...

It'll be interesting facing WBA with Robo at the helm for them.

19' Gera gets around Silvestre, good save by Carroll
Rooney feeds Keane. Shot deflected just wide
Rooney with a shot just wide

[Soccerholic]

36' Scholes shoots just wide

WBA putting 5 men in midfield. United having a difficult time breaking this down.

[Soccerholic]

40' Rooney misses a great chance with a header over the bar
