"Man U vs Newcastle"

Big game on saturday, one we cannot afford to draw or lose with newcastle being on a bit of a high at the moment.

So what do you think scoreline will be?

I think we'll sneak a 1-0 win, (a dodgy penalty decision or not :)

Our record against them is good at home even if our injury list is growing by the minute.

Probable line ups:

Man Utd :-

Barthez

Brown Blanc O'Shea Silvestre

Veron Scholes Fortune Giggs

RVN Solskjaer

Newcastle :-

Given

Hughes Dabizas Caldwell Griffin

Dyer Speed Jenas Robert
Shearer Bellamy

I disagree!

Newcastle are/have been terrible!

Anyone claiming that United are 'back on form' after this game is delusional. Newcastle are playing 2nd division football!

:-)

Man United 5 Newcastle 2 at the moment.

How stupid do YOU look? :D

Apparently Veron might not be available tommorow, he made a 17 hour round trip to play for Argentina and only returned today, so must be tired. That obviously doesnt help us in the middle of the park - I just hope that P.Neville isn't picked as his replacement!

I think we can win it, but Newcastle won't give us an easy ride.
As long as we start with 2 real strikers in the attack, like we did against West Ham, along with all 4 midfielders in the right positions, then we stand a good chance of creating plenty of chances and possibly scoring plenty of goals - something that just didn't happen on Sunday thanks to David James and his luck.

It was great to see Wes Brown back too, hopefully he'll be able to give-us what we're missing at the back, along with O'Shea and Rio (when he's available). If these 3 work well with Silvestre, then what are the chances that Gary Neville will be looking for a new club come the end of the season?

3-1 to United.

But there is always a 1st time for everything i say :)

Well on saturday there will be no:

Beckham
Keane
Butt
Rio Ferdinand
G.Neville

So Newcastle have a their best chance to win/draw, however they have never won at old trafford, ever.
