Fulham V Manchester United Dec 13 [R]

[BillyManutd]

Squad against Fulham:
Manchester United (from): Carroll, Howard, G Neville, P Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, O'Shea, Heinze, Fortune, Ronaldo, Bellion, Keane, Scholes, Djemba-Djemba, Fletcher, Giggs, van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Smith.

Van Nistelrooy will have a late fitness test to determine if he can take part in the match. Brown, Kleberson, and Saha are all out.

[Dark Savante]

Agreed. Imperative that we win our game no matter what. Everton vs. Liverpool is irrelevant. It would be perfect if the Chelsea-Arsenal game ends in a very high scoring, exhausting draw.

All being said, most important thing is that we win our games regardless. I'll be watching that game of theirs hoping for a collapse in confidence from one or both teams if possible. :mad: heheh

:)

We must capitlise.

I find this lineup unlikely due to Ruud's lack of fitness... if he starts we will need someone available on the bench like Smith to add to the attack if we have to sub him off. Also, if only one true winger plays it will likely be Giggs since Ronaldo played Wednesday... just my opinion... but I would hope for us to through out a very attacking team w/ Rooney Ronaldo Ruud, Giggs and Scholes all featuring...

Ronaldo might get a play in this one since has a longer time to rest up. Coleman says that he is not frighten for our team. ;) But Fulham have gotten good results off of us in recent encounters.

Yes!

So sick of the media saying we should be rooting for Arsenal. I actually would rather Arsenal win for aesthetic and preference reasons...but there's just not that big of a difference between 2nd and 3rd. We need to be aiming for 1st, even if it's not obtainable. And a draw furthers that end the most.

That match was a draw (thanks to controvertial goal by Henry). That means after Fulam match(which we r going to win), we will be 2 points closer to both Arsenal and Chelsea. Now it is highly possible that the title race is 3 horse race.

erm, on a side note, anyone else think that coleman and baros look identical??

Oh...and a 2-0 win for united, scholes and rooney

It's even nicer in Asia, where even noon games start around dinnertime. Eh, there's always grad school I suppose.

[bigtoga]

Ruud doesn't even make the bench - his injury must be worse than we thought...

[johno]

United w/ much of the possesion thus far, some good defending and attacking Scholes, Giggs and Ronaldo playing well so far...

Gary Neville has had 2 chances...
