Fergie never starts a game to draw it. He will always go for the win which is right. However, in a tough fixture like this and if it turns out we can only scramble a draw he'll take it because it leaves the title intiative with us even if Chelsea beat us at SB.

Bez · 18th April 2008, 08:53

We have to win. Too many sleepless nights otherwise.

IhabX7 · 18th April 2008, 09:33

If we win its ours. If my work for a whole year is dependant on one occasion, I'd be fired up like never before. The players know it, and we are the better team, Ronaldo should be up for it. Rooney should be up for it. Our defence is at full strength in terms of availability.

We need drive for this. Anderson must play.

Name Changed · 18th April 2008, 09:52

I think we will win if Tevez and Rooney both start. Anderson should start also.

That's the main factor, I think. The team will not lack for motivation - that's for sure. Barca should in no way be a distraction and hopefully Fergie will pick his strongest team (whatever that is).

Doevle · 18th April 2008, 11:16

Feck me, It's been a while since I've been this nervous one day before the match.

RedThaiDevils#7 · 18th April 2008, 11:21

One of the matches that will witness the outcome of our season. Fingers crossed.
Go for it United.

I'm not nervous but just really looking foward to this one. Hopefully Anderson starts.

Anderson & Hargreaves is crock. Now what ?

Feedingseagulls · 18th April 2008, 14:14

Looks like a Scholes - Carrick midfield then - and Vida's back to bolster the defence.

Maybe we'll see Rooney & Tevez up front with Ronaldo and Park/Giggs/Nani on the wings? The 4-4-2 fans would be ecstatic.

Man-United · 18th April 2008, 14:22

if Owen and Anderson are out:

VDS
Brown Rio Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Carrick Scholes Park
Rooney Tevez

PIG, O'Shea, Giggs, Nani, Silvestre.

Cnuts, he got injured

Plechazunga · 18th April 2008, 14:53

This game's massive. If we win, we should win the league. If we lose, I suspect we'll lose it. If we draw, feck knows.

Alternatively that might be bollocks...

I hope this helps

Raven_Blade · 18th April 2008, 16:09

We must keep the momentum with us and make Chelsea have to do the hard work. No slipping up and giving them hope please.

kuanteen · 18th April 2008, 17:56

Is this on Sky or Setanta?

Diabo_Sam · 18th April 2008, 17:56

Assume Chalsea win their last 2 matches after our clash, this is the probability of us winning the league:

1= Champions
0= bollox

So if we win tomorrow it's 74%, draw it's 56% and if we lose then it's 41%

and yeah I have no life these days apart from thinking about this.

a_devil_inside · 18th April 2008, 18:27

whats BB?

Red Dreams · 18th April 2008, 18:35

we need 7 points from 12...if we cannot get that....we deserve to be shot....

You have assumed all 27 outcomes are equally likely, which they are not. This is football, not rolling dice. You'd have to assign the probabilities subjectively, which takes you into the realm of Bayesian Statistics.

Correct but apart from the equal probability, you can pick what think is really possible result from the table and make your prediction.

then again this is football.

bloody hell

Godfather · 18th April 2008, 21:19

So are Anderson and Hargreaves going to be fit for the match?

I thought they just had slight knocks.... but some of you talking bout them beeing injured.

VidaRed · 18th April 2008, 22:32

im sure to miss this game.

Couple of sensible posts there Julian.

A draw is OK. Almost as good as winning, given we lose at Chelsea (which we won't) and providing we win the last two.

Jacob · 19th April 2008, 00:25

I take nothing except a win. We're Manchester United, we simply too good for Blackburn.

BahamaRed · 19th April 2008, 00:28

We're going to make Chelsea cry tomorrow (today)
