Bloody hell, are our matches ever on tv with the exception of the champions league?
Fulham Vs Manchester United
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
We'll lose again this fixture.
We can't expect them to be tired after a one hour flight to Switzerland where they rested at least 4 of their starting XI and if Vidic and Brown are both out, I'm worried Zamora will bully us at the back.
Fulham are very tough to get at through the middle but their wing backs (espescially Pantsil) can be exposed so I expect us to play Evra with Giggs on the left and Valencia on the right to try and do so.
Fulham will probably play a three man midfield, with Dempsey playing just in front of Murphy and Etuhu (though neither have played much recently because of injury) and they are very good at keeping the ball as well as pressing when they don't have it so Fletcher will be a must for this one and we will probably play two more with him to try and control the midfield.
It's certainly not going to be an easy game but if a few of our key players are on form and we can keep Zamora isolated, we should be able to come away with all three points.

I bet you're great fun at Christmas.

I thought Vidic was definitely out?
What times Fergies press conferance today?
Vidic remains doubtful, Van der Sar still out.
What the hells happened to Edwin?? no one heard of any injury then all of a sudden hes been missing for the past month now....seeing as its obviously quite a long term thing id have thought wed have been told of its severity by now?
Fresh off ManUtd.com
Sounds pretty positive from Fergie on Vidic...normally hes quite downbeat if a players got little chance but sounds like hes pretty hopefull Vidic will be ok.
Hargreaves still 6 weeks away?? seems like another Neville situation is brewing there...

Not really clear, is it? He missed a couple of matches, then ahead of the West Ham match Phelan said he was back... Only obviously he wasn't!
what about rio, still no timescale on his return????
The news on longer term injuries is that Rio Ferdinand is "a lot better" and may be fit within the next two to three weeks.
Of course, I think we said exactly the same three weeks ago.
Ah feck thats code for 2 months minimum then...as per with our medical bullitens!
I reckon Fergie doesn't bother checking anymore. He'll just guess a return date to use at the press conferences.
I'm down the "smoke" at the weekend, I am meeting some friends staying by Paddington Station - does anyone on the "caf" know of any pubs / bars that will be showing the
match live in this area ? Cheers.
match live in this area ? Cheers.
a scrapy 1 -0 victory for me please
It isn't going to be an easy one. Fulham have only conceded 4 goals in the past 2 months in league play.
Zamora has a back pain, probably from carrying the side ... horray!
need a solid 90 minute effort...come on UNITED !
Lineups?? 
Minute by minute thread anyone anyone.....
I will, if you want
even a 1-0 will be great...3 points
tough one, fulham are on a high, but one we must win to keep the pressure on chelsea
Quite nervous about this game Fulham away is tough at the best of times nevermind without most of your first choice defence and number 1 keeper....baring in mind the injury updates id feel more confident if i saw this team sheet:
..........................Kuzszack
.De Laet.......Carrick.........Vidic........Evra
.Valencia......Fletcher......Scholes.....Giggs
..................Berbatov.....Rooney
Think though its more likely fergie will opt for an extra midfield man (Anderson) in place of Berbatov and go 4-3-3/4-5-1 which given our defensive issues would be understandable...

Why not be positive?
Technically we have the best away record in the Premier League at the moment.. Rooney's scored seven in seven away games. We still have plenty of attacking players fit, so rather than worry about the defence and pack the midfield against a team we should be beating makes little sense. Just go at them fast.
They're unbeaten in four and just got through to the last 32 of the Europa League, but we'll put an end to this little run of theirs
watch us draw now.. We're due one.2 strikers and wingers please.....
feck I'll be missing this one. The only other game I've missed this season was Villa at home.
Is Giggs fit?

Deleted post as it had false information. Sorry.
They have won 4 of their last 5 home games and are unbeaten in their last 9 at home.
Absolutely. I've deleted my post. It did seem odd mind you. Thanks for correcting me.
Who were you thinking of Ihab when you made that post? Or was it their away record?
Rubbish website. Betting website! for fecks sake, I hope not many people bet on there.
1-1
