The team I think we'll see tomorrow night:
----------------DDG---------------
Rafael----Evans-----Ferdinand----Evra
---------Scholes----Carrick--------
Valencia-------Rooney-------Young
-------------Hernandez------------
So essentially the team from last week but with Young in for Wellbeck. I think we should really try to attack Fulham at home with pace down the flanks. Im a big fan of Wellbeck but I think he's played a lot of games this year for his age and could do with a rest. Young needs a chance to prove his worth
I think Hernandez should start again up top after getting 2 last week, hopefully his confidence is high and he can go on a run of goals
Rafeal seems to be being given a run to prove himself at RB and the CB pairing has performed well recently so perhaps Smalling & Jones played for the reserves this week to give them some game time? It would be nice for DDG to have a settled back 4 in front of him for a change
Final point, if my team is correct it means we should see these youngsters on the bench: Jones, Smalling, Fabio, Pogba, Cleverly, Wellbeck. If the game is going well SAF will want to give game time to some of these, especially Pogba and Cleverly

Big pat on the back for Red Daz. Your kind words on their page have managed to get the pool fans to change their mind and stick with the Queen.
Well played sir.

Krul, Coloccini, S Taylor, Santon, Marveaux, Tioté, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Ba and Papiss = £34.5m. Andy Carroll = £35m.

A win tomorrow pretty much in my eyes guarantees us the title. I cant see us dropping points against Blackburn, QPR, Wigan, Villa, Swansea or Sunderland. If Arsenal come away with a win or draw against city then we have hands down won title #20. I can see Arsenal putting up a great fight they need 3rd position and a win against City will help them.
One point i will make is if we do win title #20, i think it may paper over the cracks again. I think Fergie knows we need some significant investment, but us winning could make Fergie think twice about splashing out.

Despite all of whats beeing said by kean i just cant help but fell how much we would use a player of his type and his personality. I know he has a bad side but this is something we need. Our team has no character ever since cantona and kean left. Dont get me wrong having a calm abd intelligent calculated players is a must but a player with a scary attitude is a must. Keano is a player that used to scare our players into playing better and used to make opposition players **** their pants. He would install a necessary attitude into our team. A leader.... Vidic is our captain and he is great and when he is playin evra tracks back and rio stops shouting at random people for his mistakes.
Now we need a similar player in the midfield. A leader with a powerful character that is able to boss the midfield. A runner, a more skillful and powerful player than fletcher but with a similar workrate. A modern keano. Done get me wronf carrick scholes cleverley ando .... are really great players but softies i might say and in a lot of games we need a player in midfield with a big presence. I hope tunicliffe might become that player but im one of the people who beleive that a troublemaker who intimidates opponents is a must and we have none apart from vidic and maybe rooney to some extent.
Too bad this type of players are disappearing from todays game where a defensive midfielder who should be strong and sprays tackles and scares the s**t out of opponents is beeing replaced by the likes of busquets: a diving pu*** with no strength nor attitude nor leadership qualities.
This is whats wrong with barcelona: when andres iniesta is the most intimidating midfielder in a team, something s not right and this is gona be their downfall.

Will people shut up saying City are always after our targets, do you honestly believe it works like that? You think that someone from United scouts a player then the City team follow?
You're making yourselves and us in general look like bitter, excuse making fools!
There are many, many clubs interested in the same players as us because they are top world class players, of players with top potential to become world class, I'd be worried if other clubs weren't looking at the same players as us.
Martinez - United, Liverpool, City, Real, Barcelona all to my knowledge are looking at Martinez.
Gaitain - Barcelona, PSG, United, City, Liverpool? are all supposedly interested in Gaitan.
Hazard - Spurs, Barcelona, Real,Chelsea, Milan, Inter, PSG, United, City, Arsenal are all being linked to Hazard.
That's just 3 examples of targets where multiple clubs are interested in the players yet the only name people see is City. To me, it shows extreme bitterness from our fans at the fact that they can have any player they want because of two reasons:
1) They have the money to spend.
2) they are going to be a top, top club for years to come.
in comparison to us who have the history but we also don't have the funds to compete on the same scale as City.
So, stop being so bitter guys! and who says they're genuinely interested in these players? the BBC gossip Column?

I'd quite like us to sign Baines, Martinez and Hazard then I'd be a happy bunny!

I see Keano is writing in the Sun today slagging Fergie off (again) about his comments on City taking Tevez back.
Used to love and respect him but now, every time he opens his gob, he courts controversy and bitterness. He should learn to shut up, particularly where Fergie is concerned as their respective management skills, Honours won & respect within football are literally poles apart.
Grow old gracefully Mr Keane before you become a bitter old has been.
