Anyway, we’ll give you everything you need to get you through the match. There’ll be team news, updates provided by fellow bloggers, links to streams (hopefully) and, you never know, but perhaps a few goals to celebrate aswell as a decent result at the “Theatre of Dreams” or so it’s nicknamed.
The reality is that it’s going to be a tough ask to get anything out of the game. Manchester United have a habit of finding top form against us, especially at Old Trafford, but they also have a habit of playing below their best and still getting the results. This is something that they’ve done in the league ever since the 6-1 drubbing from Manchester City.
However I’m quietly confident that we’ll cause them problems, in much the same way that I’m confident that we can cause any team problems. The one thing we have to do is finish any chances that come our way and if we can do that then we can perhaps get something out of the game.
As you may be able to tell, I’m fairly pessimistic over our chances for the match. I generally count a trip to Old Trafford as a ‘nil pois’ on any prediction that I have and generally it’s been proved to be spot on over the years. In fact it’s been nearly 40 of them since our last victory at the home of Manchester United. Another decent performance will do for me although I wouldn’t turn down a point, or three!
I think that is just about enough rambling from me anyway. Fortunately Shamrock has penned one of his fantastic match preview articles which you can read here . Admittedly it was up a bit late but that was my fault for which I apologise!
Stream details will be found in the ‘comments’ section below and team news will be added at the bottom of this article as soon as it becomes available.

hitman(Quote)

Big Dave(Quote)
Guthrie took one for the team there. Sammy needs to learn when to run and when to keep possesion
toonsy(Quote)
That’s all our midfield booked now ! 🙄 🙄
Munich Mag(Quote)
Come on! Cabaye to smash a 25 yarder!
King Arfa(Quote)
Guthrie had to take that……Giggs can **** off
ToonTom(Quote)
fergie down to try to intimidate the ref
Big Dave(Quote)
LOVE seeing Fergie annoyed…..
ToonTom(Quote)
Toonsy 176 – absolutely, so that non-pen evens it out. Fergie looks well chuffed about it all. God knows what he will spout afterwards….
Venison(Quote)
Man Utd reverting to hump ball… 🙄
Munich Mag(Quote)
Mid need to be careful no silly reds…..
ToonTom(Quote)
Fergie back to his seat after telling the linesman that he is thinking of cutting his bonus
Big Dave(Quote)
Vidic should have put a saddle on Ba’s back
Big Dave(Quote)
Perch 😥
Big Dave(Quote)
“a good challenge by Vidic – he caught him on the way up and on the way down”….?? I like it… 🙄 🙄 🙄
Munich Mag(Quote)
perch for guthrie 😕
hitman(Quote)
Perch on to setup another goal 😆
toonsy(Quote)
Perch ?…I’m baffled by that one … 🙄 🙄
Munich Mag(Quote)
Is that us settling for a point ?
Munich Mag(Quote)
He has done this perch move before….whats wrong with Gosling?!
ToonTom(Quote)
See that through ball by Perch 😉 After a buccaneering 15 yard run 😉
toonsy(Quote)
Good game Guthrie
ToonTom(Quote)

Big Dave(Quote)
Can’t argue with that red. Defo a yellow, he’d already been booked, see ya later.
