Red at top with Fulham Football Club with the ticket office address underneath. Then the ticket info and red at the bottom part as well. Should have a barcode on the stub. Should be in Putney End, blocks P7-P5, although P4-P1 will be mainly United as well.

How old are you? It's hard to say. I'm 16 (although I look quite a lot older), and they questioned me a lot when trying to get into White Harte Lane in the away end earlier in the season. I think the London clubs are worse than anyone, they will look for any reason to not let people in the away end. But then again could be fine.

Does it not specify what sort of concession it is - ie under-16 or over-65?

massive game and will be tough. id take a jammy 2-1 here or something....

hopefully vidic and browne are ok for this. have a feeling johnny evans will play here also, fergie said 10 days last week so hopefully thats enough for him to be fit.

impossible to pick the team until friday and we know who is in. massive game for us, weve come off a run of a few tricky games considering weve had so many injuries and hopefully this one gives us 8 or 9 days then to get these back on track. our team away to hull hopefully will be much stronger than this one..

I'll take a draw
Given how weak our back 4 will be, and how Fulham are in good form, a draw would be a decent result. Won't stop people going mental if we do drop a couple of points mind.

Reckon United will play well and win. I have to say Craven Cottage looks as though it would be a great place to watch a game, is this true?

Fulham are a very good team at the moment albeit inconsistent. We should put our strongest possible team for this one and be more patient with our attack as fulham are not so shabby in defence like wolves and their counter-attack is quite good at times.

I want to see Rooney and Owen up front. Fletcher as CM.

Hopefully, but I think Fergie said Evans and O'Shea won't play until the new year

I think we should go 4-3-3 for this match. Berbatov didn't do enough against Wolves to justify being used away from home. Giggs on the left if fit, otherwise Nani or Park, Rooney central and Valencia on the right. Like to see Anderson and Fletcher in midfield with I suppose Carrick or Gibson. Try to control possession and get midfield players into the box to support Rooney. Defence depends on who is available. Can't afford to carry any passengers in this match.

A cracking away, with a nice drink up in the Bells beforehand. (rumour has it the Bells is now a home pub, but I'm not having that)

I was fecking delighted when they miraculously avoided relegation the season before last.

United could spend £85million on David De Gea, Phi
...........................Kuszszck
..Fabio..........De Laet.......Carrick........Evra
...................Fletcher.......Scholes
.Valencia..............Anderson..............Giggs
...........................Rooney



Worst case scenario with no Vidic or Brown id expect us to play a 4-5-1/4-3-3 with something like the above team and give the defence as much cover as possible....pretty similiar to the system and personell we used at upton park.....

Fergie giving no indication whether Vida will be fit.

De Laet expected to continue though.
Again De Laet was very good when given the chance. There's no need for us to waste Fletcher out there. De Laet has shown that he's more than capable of playing full back for this club.

From what I saw, Vidic was running down the tunnel fairly brusquely. If he'd been injured surely he'd have been walking?

Maybe it was a precaution.

I like this De Laet lad. Very confident.

I'm closer to 30 than I would care tk admit!! No indication of what concession it is but the full price is printed on the ticket!!

We can't afford to sit back so let's go for the win. We can keep a bit of possession with this team and with Fletcher in front of the defense and one of Berbatov or Rooney playing a little deeper, we should be able to defend pretty well.

They had a game away in Switzerland yesterday. 3-2 win against Basle. Hodgson is again doing a good job with them and their gaff is never an easy place to go. Miserable memories from last season. I'm banking on their travels taking a lot out of the tank.

PIG (when is VDS back?)

De Laet Vidic Brown Evra

Valencia Carrick Fletcher Giggs

Rooney Berbatov

Good win here hopefully.

This is the type of game you want to win if you have title ambitions in this league, a semi difficult away game against decent opposition.
Fulham will have a hope of getting something from this, should be a more open game than the last to at Old Trafford.

Decent starting eleven that mate. Hope you're right.
