Man Utd (a). FA Cup, 3rd round. Sun 9/1/11

[The Special One]

I have to go to a birthday party! Woohoo!

[JohnnyH]

I have to go to a birthday party! Woohoo!

 

Can we all come?

[Unrighteous]

Can we all come?

 

I'd settle for watching the birthday party on livestream to avoid watching the game.

[usernameunknown]

Hopefully we can keep the score down and it isnt all out humiliation. Then we all gather on monday expecting the announcement he's gone, to be greeted by about 5 posters saying how impatient people are, trust the Americans etc and we repeat the process after Blackpool and the derby.

[Strontium]

I fear that a can of whoop-ass will be opened upon us. A United victory margin of between 4 and 6 goals would not be out of the question.

[Scott_M]

I'd go with:

 

Reina

 

Kelly

Skrtel

Agger

Aurellio

 

Johnson

Miereles (if fit)

Lucas

Kuyt

 

Gerrard

 

Torres

 

Not the most attacking line-up but one that should be able to keep it tight-ish and maybe nick something on the break.

 

I'm preparing myself for a defeat and a heavy defeat at that. The very least I expect from us is that everybody stands up and is counted and plays for everyone of the 9,000 of us who are going and will be giving everything to raise us.

 

EDIT - Fuck, looking at it like that, it's a pretty damn good side. Shame our approach and tactics are so inept

[Scott_M]

Somebody should do a vBookie thing for the amount of the cheque we'll be writing to United next week after the inevitable trashing of our end(s) occurs on Sunday.

[Malarkey]

I feel like sobbing at the thought of going there, and the thought of what United are going to do to us, and what Roy will say in the press conference afterwards.

 

"Show us on the doll where United touched you, Liverpool."

[Mr Nando]

Fuck watching this game, do not want to watch us get battered by them.

[redsoxs]

Fergie rested 6 players during the week, Roy rested none.

 

Enough said.

 

Are away record, plus Fergie most likely to play a strong team, this is one game i wouldn't be putting money on us that for sure, I've lost enough this season.

[ManxRed]

I have a standing £5 bet with a Manc friend (oximoron I know) for every time we play each other. The home team pays out on a draw.

 

I have already given him the fiver to save him gloating on Monday.

[captainharris]

Nani vs. Konchesky?

 

Not looking forward to this one.

[usernameunknown]

Nani vs. Konchesky?

 

Not looking forward to this one.

 

He cant play him this time surely? Even someone as thick as Hodgson cant put Konchesky in for this game. He's been a joke all season and was so badly murdered at Old Trafford last time he had to be subbed. He cant start, can he?

[Unrighteous]

Just losing would almost be direct involvement of a god --- We're seriously going to be on the receiving end of a hospital job.

--------------Gerrard----------Lucas---------------

 

 

Kuyt------------------Cole---------------------Maxi

 

 

----------------------Torres-----------------------

 

 

could easily leave out Glo Jo, Skrtel, maxi and torres but on paper this is probably our strongest team

[JaminKibbler]

Why of all games is this on TV?

 

It's bad enough getting embarrassed by people who watch Skysports, nevermind the whole bloody nation on ITV.

 

I've got the bucket to collect the dripping tears.

[Baresi]

I can't fucking wait for this. I also think we'll get at least a draw.

[Il Fenomeno]

The Reds have lost only one of 10 FA Cup ties on this day - that came at Bolton in 1954.

 

So the only time we lost a cup tie on January the 9th, was the year we got relegated.

 

Fuck off Woy.

[Torvald Utne]

90 minutes of the commentators talking about poor Roy having to make do with the team he inherited.

[Jonny83]

Hope Roy has plenty of this in stock

Roy has been breaking all records this season so i won't be surprised if he beats this one too

[Guest TK-421]

I think this will be a tough game.

[waddy78]

I think this will be a tough game.
