Derby are going to get a can of...



on Saturday.

But Derby might raise their game because they are playing Man Utd, the Premiership Champions.

It won't be a 6-0 as they won't be that niave anymore.

We should at least get 2/3 goals, maybe more if the attack clicks.

I think(hope) we get 2 considering Tevez's finishes like Torres now and Rooney is not match fit.

We're going to get raped

Boro will be fine if Arsenal's midfield injuries continue. I reckon Reading may get something against a Liverpool team with Marseille on their minds. And I can't wait for what promises to be 90 minutes of sexy football at the Reebok on Sunday.

yay a weekend where we actually have a chance at points

You have Tuncay so you'll be grand

I wish

Assuming the Reading - Pool game is on Setanta.

Some pretty decent games there, notably the Villa - Pompey, Spurs - City and maybe the B'burn - Hammers matches.

On SAF's command; Rooney will unleash hell (and Ronaldo, Tevez, Giggs maybe Vidic)

Nah I see Earnshaw, Miller and co unleashing hell on you lot

Ronaldo better be on song.

Man Utd and Chelsea are certain winners.

Liverpool and Arsenal are both playing away games against not too decent sides, but could easily slip up. I reckon one of us will draw and I have a suspicion it will be us. Liverpool of course may play a weakened side with one eye on Tuusday's CL tie.

We should beat Reading, it's by no means a formality but the in-form guide and the fact we have the majority of our squad to call upon leaves me with the attitude that Rafa has all the tools to do the job, lets just hope he uses the right ones!

Yep, you should.

Your form in the past month has been admirable, but as I've said, some of the players may be more concerned about Tuesday and frnaly, that's more important in the short term at least.

I think we'll scrape a win, I fancy Dirk to get a goal for some reason

No excuses

Reading is a far bigger game than Marseille- Rafa should play our strongest team.

Yes it is.

We need to keep the momentum and pressure on Arsenal - and stay in the title race

The other top 3 will probably win their games- so its vital that we do as well.

Spurs away for us will be a very tough game, we never do well there and id be very happy with a point. Still their defence has been shaky and if we can get a goal im confident that we can get something.

Johnson is back which is a boost but Hamann is suspended which really sucks. Also Elano and Mpenza have late fitness tests so im keeping my fingers crossed that they play.

If we draw we could still win the league, if we draw to Marseille we'll be playing FC zognich in some shite country on a thursday night.

What an appealing programme again

You'll score at least 2.

Nah, I fancy the Spuds for this one

Schedule for the man utd boys. Thrash derby, toy with them put a goal in the net every 15 minutes. Go out for a drink all go to rooney's house and watch the fight. send the kids out to roma and relax :cigar: Then prepare for the slaughter of le scouse

Seen their Uefa cup match midweek? Nothing there indicates to me they will be able to handle Man City and not concede at least 1 I'm going for 2.

It's a funny old game, Newcastle looked hopeless against us and Pompey then got a draw against Arsenal
