Not that much of a big game is it?Why's this a 3pm kickoff? It's a big game!
Anyone know any pubs in Manchester that'll be showing it? I think I read somewhere that the courtyard shows United 3pm's?

Palace play with real pace and physicality. The game suits Jones far more. I've also been more impressed by Jones defensively than Blind. Although his ability on the ball would be an asset in most home matches where the opponent seek to sit as deep as they can to absorb our possession.Why has Blind suddenly been emitted from everyones starting lineups? Have I missed something.
I thought he has performed great so far this season.
US television will be broadcasting it live, they always do.Looks like Setanta Ireland are showing Arsenal as the 3pm game so there are no English language commentary satellite broadcasts of the match in Europe.

Anyone know a good radio commentary?
I think Jones is a far better defender than Blind, but Blind is a far better footballer than Jones, if that makes sense.Why has Blind suddenly been emitted from everyones starting lineups? Have I missed something.

Yep....exactly what I would go with.Very tough place to go.
Really hope we drop Rooney and bring in Young. Never thought I'd ever say that.
Please this

Darmian - Smalling - Jones - Rojo

Me too. Rooney will definitely start though unfortunately......Yep....exactly what I would go with.
This will be a good lineup and will allow a mix of attacking option. Plus a striker who stays in position!De Gea
Darmian--Smalling--Jones--Rojo
Schneiderlin--Schweinsteiger
Mata--Herrera--Young
Martial
subs: Romero, Blind, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Pereira, Rooney.
Cheers!Yeah courtyard show 3pm games.
Away to palace? Yeah. Arsenal got a TV slotNot that much of a big game is it?

Meh. I actually don't think the margin between their defensive ability is as large as some people think. Jones manages to make up for his errors and bad positioning with pace and power...Blind makes far fewer errors.I think Jones is a far better defender than Blind, but Blind is a far better footballer than Jones, if that makes sense.
Away from home, I'd rather start Jones though.
Agree, LVG may well have chosen him for this game too. Darmian generally is solid though so no major concerns there.Valencia out is a blow. He's the go to guy against pace and power.
Rested for Rojo? Rojo is first choice at LB now. Do keep up.Smalling, Darmian and Bling played 120min on Wednesday, I can see one of them being rested for Rojo

This is what we need to see happen in order to actually come away with the win but unfortunately I don't think it would surprise anyone to see Rooney where Martial is and him replacing Young on the wing. Van Gaal is a stubborn one.---------------------De Gea---------------------

Tomorrow's the day Rooney will be warming the bench!
Nah he came on at LB against Boro.Isn't Young injured?
Back, returned against Boro'.Isn't Young injured?
Better that then Martial at the wing IMO. Hopefully Young gets the start over Memphis.Herrera dropped for Rooney who'll be back as a 10, unfortunately.
Memphis is an injury doubt anywayBetter that then Martial at the wing IMO. Hopefully Young gets the start over Memphis.
Our best team on form. Lingard hits the post 2 games in a row, that's probably just enough to beat out a returning Young and Memphis. Rest, no real arguments. Valencia has outplayed Darmian as of late, though long-term I certainly expect Darmian to settle down and win that competition.De Gea
