It wouldn't fucking surprise me the way our season has gone!

I think we need to pray that Ferdinand doesn't recover and that Vidic gets crocked against Boro. When they had Evans and either O'Shea / Neville at centre half they looked shit

I'm so confident now on this one. 'We're on our way!'

Why?
Well Man U have had there chance and Royally fuck it! in fact we should have even bothered turning up next week but as it's only 1-0 we're more then still in it.

Old Trafford, with the fans behind them. Wenger pissing about. Half the team didn't make the effort. Should have worse and even Evra said it and now he's 'very disappointed'. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 28,00.html

The game on Saturday for Man U will be very interesting. I'd never expect anything from Boro normally. But I've a snicky feeling on this.....
Red-Nose has some important decisions to make in who to pick. Weakened team or strong?
We'd all think weakend but we all know his passion and goal to over take L'pool in the title stakes. Plus with Rafa winding him up he may just go for it.
Boro, like all small teams will be up for it. They have no option. I do hope both Huth and Weater take Southgate's battle cry to heart and literally "go out fighting"

This could be to our advantage.
Alternatively, he goes weaker and hopefully gets beat and dents the squads confidence.

So at 1-0 one goal from us, and it's game on. (yes, I do know that if they get a goal etc...but they've had there chance!)

At 1-1 we'll reallly, and I MEAN REALLY be behind the boys. Mistakes will be made by a Man U side on the ropes.
It's our turn now - We're at home. So the empathis is on us. Lets use this and make sure we use our advantage. Boy I'm really up for this now

I don't know how 'but all I know we are on our way!'

Well said. I was kind of thinking the same thing myself. I just hope that the negativity doesn't come across on Tuesday night. We need to get behind the team like never before!!

Very true but they need to put on a half decent performance too!

It is a two way street!

I voted that we will go through, I just have this confidence about the team...the only thing that can make my confidence in our team shrink is..... ARSENE WENGER AND HIS FUCKED UP FORMATIONS AND STARTING LINE-UPS

If we start, as we SHOULD SHOULD SHOULD, FUCKING SHOULD EVERY GAME, in a 4-4-2 with Song and Fabregas in the middle, Nasri left, Walcott or Eboue right, Djourou in at CB, and Adebayor + Van Persie or Eduardo, or Vela up front then we will go through. If we come out in some weird 4-2-3-1 with Adebayor isolated, Diaby LEFT??????????? and Nasri as a defensive midfielder, then we will lose.

If Denilson plays at all, we will lose.

We might just do it.

Ferdinand out for the rest of the season.

If Manyoo's shots/goals ratio stays the same, they should only score half a goal.

As my compariot said if we play a 4-4-2 we WILL win. We need to open our game up and show that we're not araid of those *word censored*.

2-nil to THE ARSENAL

I think its a game in which we will see what our team is really made of.

Are we going to come out fighting? Or are we just going to hand manure the final on a plate? I really dont know, seems that when we play well against the weaker teams we struggle against the big boys and vice versa...

If we do go out i want us to give it a proper go and make all the fans proud!!!

augie · Post by **augie** » Fri May 01, 2009 9:25 am

Being honest I dont see us even winning the game

Manure will be well aware of our need to have a go at them and I really fear that they will pick us off on the counter attack. I fully expect scholes and maybe giggs to start next tues night which I dont feel will help us either - scholes is still a great footballer with plenty of passion and fire which of course many of our players lack

As has been said already, if we score early then we have a chance but again I agree that the biggest obstacle in our way will be wenger with his ridiculous team selections, tactics and substitutions

If we give it a real go and go out fighting then that will be acceptable to me.....if we just stroll about for 90mins while doing fcuk all then that is not acceptable and should see somebody pay the ultimate price

Elimination for me I'm afraid

Well, i will be arriving at my hotel in crete just as the game starts so will be rushing around to find it on in some bar although i had thought about missing it altogether cos i get too down when we lose in big games, which as of late has been a regular theme.

I just hope manure have an off day and to be fair they have had a few of them lately. We need then to be at our best and can't afford to be profligate in front of goal.

If, and i know if is a big word, that twat of a dane had scored what looked like a very good chance at the end of the game at old twatford I would be very confident of going through but as it stands just not sure.

Theo hat trick

Funny you say that, I had a dream about Theo scoring a hat trick last night. I don't know who it was against, but it was at home in a night game.

Apparently, he wasn't as bad as first thought and should be available for Tuesday....

!!

For once I'd like to see Denilson play, and get in a good heavy early (or late....) challenge!!

it all depends on what wenger puts out,is he going for trying to hit them on the break or what we best at attacking,high tempo game which manure don't like.he's going to have to put a formation which gives our creative players license to play instead of restriction and that means Nasri behind the striker and Cesc in the middle dictating ou play!!another point the striker??adebayor isn't good enough for the job,he can't hold the ball and never seems to win headers even though he's a good 6 inches taller than most center-backs and when the ball on the wings never seems to be in the box waiting for the cross but slobbering his way to the 18 yard line!!!ferdinounce and vd had a easy night wednesday,i know there was no service,but he didn't move or create any space but stood around waiting for a bus!!!!.we going have to go all guns blazing as we nothing to lose,the media have already written utd's name down for rome,but we got to prevent the scum scoring!!!and this is our other problem but cross fingers etc we still in with a chance!

Arsenal in CL Final....?

Will we get through to the final?
