Bannan, Herd & Jenas in midfield.

According to the Birmingham Mail & Daily Mirror, the manager wants Hutton to 'unnerve' Young for today's game. Considering Young has a propensity to 'go down', is giving away about 30 free kicks just outside our area a good tactic?

Anyone know who the ref is today?

The thing is, Man U have been nowhere near their best recently.  If we had a real go then we'd have a good chance of a result.

I just can't see us having the bottle to do so though.

Is there anywhere I can put a bet on Ashley Young winning a penalty from Hutton?

No point mate. Even if you put down 100 quid, all you'll get back is £100.01

I hope so mate.

I'm expecting Man Utd to be at full strength today with Rooney and Herandez up front, Carrick in midfield, Ashley and maybe even Nani on the wings. All the squad players had to play 120 minutes during the week. It will be tough but not impossible, we just need to grow a pair and have a go at them.

I was thinking more in terms of their recent performances.  Isn't it something like 8 matches where they have failed to score more than one goal?

Definitely agree we should be very positive today.  I think i'll cry if I see Heskey in midfield.
