bramble will be more of a hindrance more newcastle

Man U to win but i think margin is going to be small. I like the defense now, think they are the strongest yet. Do away with Brown and Evra pls.
As for the midfield and striking dept ...hmmm maybe Alan Smith can add some bite and tenacity. -
Man United 2 v. Newcastle 1

Beating Newcastle is vital
Reds legend Paddy Crerand believes it is essential United do not slip up against Newcastle on Sunday.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side return to Premiership duties following the hard-fought 1-0 win over Benfica on Tuesday, but the Reds have taken just one point from the last two league games, following defeat to Arsenal with a 1-1 draw against Reading.
United have never lost to the Magpies at Old Trafford in the Premiership, and Crerand says now would be a particularly poor time to buck that trend.
“What we mustn’t do is find ourselves playing catch up with Chelsea, a win against Newcastle is imperative,” he told United Review.
“We have to bounce back after the disappointing results against Reading and Arsenal. Fair play to Arsenal, they were magnificent – you have to hold your hands up and say that.
“But, people mustn’t get too downhearted by the last two league games. We’re still way ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal and people were predicting them to challenge Chelsea. There’s a long way to go.” -
Ramage seeks better luck
Newcastle defender Peter Ramage is looking to put his Old Trafford nightmare out of mind when the Magpies visit Manchester on Sunday.
The Reds won 2-0 at home against the Geordies in March of last season, courtesy of two Wayne Rooney goals. But the United striker had Ramage to thank for his first, intercepting a weak backpass to Shay Given, which Rooney gleefully chipped over the stranded Newcastle goalkeeper.
"It was the first time it had happened to me and I hope itÂ’s the last," he recalls in an interview with United Review.
But the Magpies defender says some advice from Alan Shearer helped him not be affected by the mistake.
"It happens to a lot of players in their careers – on the same day Steven Gerrard did exactly the same for Liverpool in against Arsenal.
"We were watching it on television on the coach home. I had to pop into the toilet and when I came out Alan Shearer shouted me to take a look. Sure enough in the replays there was he was, Thierry Henry latching on to it to give Arsenal a last-minute victory.
"Al said all players do this at some time and I should just forget it. It made me feel a lot better - but donÂ’t be surprised to see me put the ball into the stands if I get a similar situation today."

"In your dreams"
rem where this game is played?? Theater of Dreams.
I don't think it will be easy but with both sides in Europe, I think it will have an impact.
as for the zebras, as they played later and given out, it will give MUFC a better chance to beat them.
thanks. -

Hope he does it again! -

Van der Sar set for Newcastle
Edwin van der Sar insists United need to rediscover the art of beating the Premiership's less-fancied teams, starting on Sunday.
The Reds' failure to match Chelsea's charge to the Premiership title last season came about largely through a failure to do just that.
And, following last week's draw at promoted Reading, this weekend's clash with Newcastle has taken on extra significance as the Reds aim to stay in touch with the champions.
"Reading was the kind of game we needed to win," said van der Sar.
"It was matches like that which cost us last year. We believe we have matured, so the focus is now on Newcastle and ensuring the same thing does not happen again."
Van der Sar appreciates the task will be aided by the return of Gabriel Heinze, who caught the eye against Benfica in only his second game back from injury.
"Gaby is a quality player," he said. "He came back into the team against Reading last week and then did really well against Benfica.
"He has been injured for a long time but we are all hoping he can stay fit now because he is such a huge asset to the team." -
Howay our lads! Howay!
-
time for man utd to grab this chance as chelsea had just draw with villa..
if man utd win, man utd will be on top of the table due to goal differences.. -
Only way is to attack right from the start! Wave and wave of attack! At the back please play Brown Ferdinand Heinze Evra or Vidic in place of Ferdinand. Gary Neville c0ckster ah.. Midfield play Scholes Carrick O Shea Up front Ronaldo Saha Rooney
-
its always exciting n entertaining when these 2 teams meet. although the magpies rarely gets anything from old trafford, i still hope they can at least get a draw. MARTINS n PARKER all the way!!!
-
parker is in the form of his life. Man u should really have bought him when he was told he could leave chelsea.
and with berlozoglu emre adding some bite with flair & creativity in midfield, o'shea/carrick would have his hands full.
Pls dump fletch to the bench; pair oshea/carrick/scholes in central mf (either two), with ronaldo & richardson on the flanks.
I say; give richardson some time and games to prove himself. He may well be the heir to Giggs; our veteran welsh wizard.
back four should be; neville, ferdinand, vidic and heinze. Solid look to it; at least on paper. Just hope that ferdinand doesn't mess things up and also not lose his focus/concentration on the game.
upfront should be the usual two; with rooney playing just behind saha.
anyway, my prediction would be 2-1 to man u; rooney and ronaldo, obafemi martins. -
liverpool and chelsea drop pts!!! manu MUST take advantage!!
-
I hope to see the follwing lineup:
GK Edwin van der Sar
RB Wes Brown
CD Rio Ferdinand
CD Nemanja Vidic
LB Gabriel Heinze
RM Cristiano Ronaldo
CM Michael Carrick (More attacking duties)
CM Paul Scholes (More defensive duties)
LM Kieran Richardson
ST Wayne Rooney
ST Louis Saha
Subs:
GK Tomasz Kuszczak
LB Patrice Evra
RB John O'Shea
AM Alan Smith
ST Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
And NO Fletcher. Aiya, i doubt Fergie will drop him.
And NO Neville. Really a noob in defending. Slow and Weak and likes to attack thus leaving his post. Oppents tend to attack down the left cos Neville is always AWOL! Make him retire, please.
My prediction : 3-1 to United cos this match is always known for many goals.
Cheers.
C.K -
If Man U wins it should be a close win like a 3-2 or 2-1.
IF Newcastle wins, it will be just nice like a 1-0 -
my honest prediction:
Manure 3-1 Newcastle
my extreme biased prediction:
Manure 2-3 Newcastle -
