I wish they would play Manucho against us.

Yep, the loan move states that he cannot play against United, so why can't he play for United against City!!

I can't see Utd playing Ferdinand the whole game or Tevez, surely?

Only about 3 or 4.

Manucho is absolute rubbish, worst striker I've seen in the Prem for some time. The amount of decent chances he got yesterday and he fluffed everyone.

Manchester United's reserves would finish mid table if they played every game throughout the season;

When City have played the likes of Arsenal / Chelsea they have produced the best performances of the season with the extra quality the top teams have making the essential difference; against Liverpool city dominated the first half but were punished for not taking their chances with a quality strike by Alonso

If city had to beat Man U i would be conceding going down; the fact Newcastle are going to Villa who have to win as well increases our chances of staying up dramatically

A steal for the bookies.....still two out of three ain't bad

I have been saved, I didnt back Hudders except in the City bet, it was a double with Quins and Fev and a fivefold with Hudders, Keighley and Rochdale so the Hudders result didnt matter in the end.

I was sweating on Quins too, bloody 7 point win on a -6 game aint good for the ticker!!!

Phew

Hopefully United will recall him and play him next week against City

.

I mean Newcastle not Hull City

It was mate



Reasons I want Newcastle relegated?

Think there a big club when there not reminds me of someone else that play in black and white

I know, Notts County are deluded.

I knew that was coming

Hate to disagree with a fellow Robin but if a club attracts 52,000 when battling relegation and has one of the best Premiership away following's, they're a very big club IMO.

Newcastle fall more into the 'should be a big club' bracket don't they?

Kinda I guess, in that they are undoubtedly underachievers to say the least. Even during the 'Entertainers' era of the mid-90's they won sod-all!

Unfortunatly big crowds win you nothing
IMO Leeds United are a bigger club then Newcastle due to history and trophys won
IMO of course

Fair comments I guess bud.



Could have been playing them next season if Leeds weren't even more useless then the Magpies!

looks like fergie is going to play a young kid in goal on sunday city are getting all the help they need lets hope city can stay up i would say its in browns hands but its up to sir alex who he wants to stay up

Don't think they will need it TBH, I reckon Newcastle and Boro will lose.

Deary, deary me.

Why would he not play Thomas Kuszczak?

And he would just 'love it' I mean REALLY 'love it' if he sent the Toon doon

I see your point, but with the injury to Ben foster, he may want to keep Thomas Kuszczak and Van Der Sar safe and fit, don't think he'd be too happy if Van Der Sar was to get injured at the start of the Champions league final, and only have a young lad on the bench, were as City's game is a throw away game for them.

I can see something along these lines:-

Kuszczak

Neville
O'Shea
Evans
Rafael

Park
Scholes
Gibson
Nani

Tevez
Macheda

That seems fair, and probably the team I'd expect him to play, Fergie might even throw Eckersley or James Chester in the back four.
