Pretty sure I heard Park is out for 3/4 weeks unfortunately.Would like to see Lindegaard, Fabio, Smalling, Park, Hernandez, King and Morrison get a game in this one.
Fair play to Crawley. What a wanker, so close to the anniversary and all.Crawley Town ban 'fan' who taunted Manchester United over Munich crash• Club change FA Cup video after air disaster victims mocked
• 'We'd never insult United,' says Crawley's chief executive
The biggest week in Crawley Town's history has begun in inauspicious circumstances after they discovered the video for their official FA Cup song ahead of Saturday's trip to Manchester United features a "fan" taunting their opponents for the Munich air disaster.
The non-league club have moved swiftly to defuse the embarrassment with their chief executive, Alan Williams, describing it as the "most upsetting thing he has ever had to deal with at the club".
Crawley have also called in the police and banned the offender for life after receiving complaints from United fans about the video accompanying the singer Mike Dobie's version of The Specials hit A Message To You Rudy, adapted to have the new title A Message To You Rooney.
Crawley posted the video on YouTube, as well as the club's website, without realising that one of the people dancing by the stage frequently makes aircraft gestures to mock the tragedy in 1958 when the plane carrying United's team crashed on the runway at Munich, killing 23 of the 44 passengers, including eight members of the team, on the way back from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade.
The video was filmed at Crawley's ground last Tuesday, two days after the 53rd anniversary of the tragedy, and the same man can also be seen simulating a plane crashing into the ground and holding up his fingers to count one, then nine, then five and eight to symbolise 1958.
"The first we knew was when we took a call from a Manchester United supporter saying it was disgusting," Williams said. "We immediately pulled it off the website and removed it from YouTube.
"We've called in the police to see if they will press charges and we have identified the idiot responsible and banned him from the club for life," Williams said. "He's not welcome here now or ever again. This should be an unbelievable week for us, playing the biggest club there is, and if anyone thinks Crawley would deliberately insult Manchester United over something so sensitive, that is what gets to me more than anything."
The song was to raise money for the club's official charity, the Chestnut Tree children's hospice. There were several takes for the video and Crawley have replaced the original one with a version that does not feature the Munich jibes. The club's information is that the man responsible is a Crystal Palace supporter.
"The people who made the video are absolutely devastated," Williams said. "I've had Mike Dobie on the phone in tears because none of us had seen it. It was intended as a charity song and we would never condone behaviour like that. We have found another take missing the idiot who was responsible."

Maybe it is Matthew Simmons ...in which case once wasn't enough.So he's a Palace fan then. Bunch of no-mark twats. Well done Crawley for taking such quick action. As the Black Pearl says, he should get a shoeing like that other Palace-supporting cnut, Matthew Simmons.

Deary me. Arrested for making an offensive gesture over football? What a load of shite, if I may say so. Talk about a waste of money. The Public Order Act has so many things wrong with it, I'm not even going to go into it.
Sick people like that should be shot!!! twice if they survive the first bullet
That lad could do with the mother of all beatings in fairness, no need for that shit, fecking gobshite.
It's good to see our fans on here displaying how much more civilised they are than the drunken imbecile in the video.So he's a Palace fan then. Bunch of no-mark twats. Well done Crawley for taking such quick action. As the Black Pearl says, he should get a shoeing like that other Palace-supporting cnut, Matthew Simmons.
Are you in the running for sainthood or something? What would you do if some twat of a Palace fan made aeroplane gestures in front of you and made fun of Munich?It's good to see our fans on here displaying how much more civilised they are than the drunken imbecile in the video.
Public Disorder Offence or Drinking in Public?Can someone explain why he was arrested?
Sure, ban him, but I don't understand how that broke any laws.
Berbatov is not going to start. Fergie has already said he has treated Owen unfairly. So I am sure Owen and Hernandez are going to start up front.Okay, let's see

Despite what you might read this guy has no remorse whatsoever. After this all became public his response was and I quote " I did it to show those northern pricks that we to have balls to bring out and show them how we really feel" or words to that effect.
A good slapping would do the little cnut no harm.
I'd love him to travel. Maybe he fancies a pint on Salford pre match?
The little shit.
