As does Song, excellent against the chavs recently and bossed the game against utd last season.
Never have I looked forward to a game against United less than the one on Sunday...... And we're also going to miss the City v Spuds game as well as we'll be travelling down!
United are very vulnerable at the moment as they have injury problems of their own. But they have proved -away to Fulham - that they are still more than capable of giving teams a hammering once they have their noses in front. And difficult to see them not scoring against us at the weekend given that we'll be playing without a defence!

they know they can easily win the midfield with Arteta out so they will play 4 5 1, dominate the midfield and get Rooney to score a goal every so often
0-3
What happened to your prediction of their collapse after they got stuffed at Newcastle. You were on here telling us all how we could definitely catch them. What has changed ?
you are quite entitled to pull me up on that.
the thing is in football things change very quickly.
I was quite confident of beating United 2 weeks ago but I did not take into account Vermaelen and Arteta both being injured and that none of the then injured would still not be back.
with the team that we will put out on Sunday I cannot say that I think we will win. Indeed if I do on here I will be accused (probably rightly in this case) of being a WUM.
We are going to get beaten heavily here and just listening to the GIC on SSN who says not having 2 proper fullbacks has only been a problem in the last few games Sick of bullshit like that from him.Im an optimist but this guy is seriously pushing me towards depression.He has to go hes just not living on the same planet as the rest of us.
hope that delude wanker don't player Miquel at LB, he may go on to be a good CB, but he was woeful against Swansea and was out of position so many times and piss poor in the challenge
It pisses me right off that I don't really look forward to this game any more. It's not that I don't appreciate the game but it's got fuck all influence from our point of view now. That's been the case for the last few years now too. When I think back ten years or so, this was the game that I would be on edge for weeks about, getting worked up about, looking forward to a massive battle that would go a long way to deciding the title winners.
Now, it's just a game that we will probably lose without really ever looking good enough to compete and there'll be no fight to the death attitude from us, no getting stuck in when it matters or looking ready for a punch-up at any moment. Even if we do manage a win, so what, it's not going to be a turning point or a cause for mass hysteria, unless of course you are the GIC, who will claim, it shows we are back in the title race.
Sad as it sounds, I'm going for an away win at an embarassing canter.
