I hear Reading has their B-Team out for this one, should make it a bit easier on our squad, but I think that we'll pull it off with reasonable ease. 3-1 (late consolation goal from Reading)

[benni...]

Anyone know what TV station will be carrying this in the USA?

I know Fox Sports World is playing it here in Canada.

Either FSC or Setanta...:p No but seriously, I am not sure which one of those. I pay extra for both on DTV, so I'm usually covered with one of them showing the game..

[Numquam Moribimur]

It's on Setanta PPV ..:rolleyes:

[benni...]

The funny thing is, as obvious as an answer that might seem, neither of them held the previous FA Cup matches at all.

Damn that 12.00 dollars extra a month sure does pay off sometimes..Especially with the Champions League games coming up..:cool:

If anything, this makes me more worried. Hearing something like this makes me think they're trying to play mind games with us. I want us to go into this game like we're going in against Chel$ki.



As for watching it, does anyone know if there will be any feeds?

I'm at home this weekend so I'll be able to catch it on FSWCanada.

This should be a tough game by all accounts. I don't like posting in these threads until the game is over due to a superstition I have concerning me and these match day threads this season.

I see a 2-nil victory....

No, I'm sure it will be a much changed team from the last league game. We played Arsenal away in the league cup last season and made about 5 changes - it might have been more but three players were Arsenal fans and wanted to play.

Saying that, some of the "B" players won't necessarily be worse than the usual players. Both Convey & Seol were starters at the start of the season, and if we rotated our strikers from the last game then the two to come in would be Doyle & Kitson.

You might see a more usual back line though as against Burnley in the cup they look like they'd been introduced to each other before the match, but the sub keeper will probably play.

Coppell says he will field a B side: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/tm_headline=coppell--i-ll-play-reserves-against-united%26method=full%26objectid=18624644%26siteid=89520-name_page.html

Rooney is suspended and I read somewhere that Smudge is expected to see some playing time. I'm wondering What the front line will look like. Saha and Solskjaer have not played much at all and the former seems to have lost both touch and confidence.

I'm guessing both Ronaldo and Carrick will be back for 60 min+ as SAF will want them to get some time but not be exhausted before the game v Lille.
