You can't recall Pienaar hacking down Giggs in the last minute and costing us a result?

My memory is very hazy at times.

Now you mention it, yes.

united are not that special this season. it's not a vintage united team at any rate.

ronaldo gone, ferdinand struggling, nani rocking the boat.

i think we might be able to get something and prove everybody wrong. saha will be up for it and no mistake.

Great win that, should give us momentum going into the next game, who we got?

After the tenth international break of the season, must be great being Hibbert & Osman, we go into a run of games that are much harder than we've had prior this year. The gritty win over West Ham was much needed, not only so we remembered what it was like to win again but as we were getting perilously close to the bottom three.

As the dominant club of the past twenty years, we know what to expect with United - a gutsy performance and defeat by the odd goal? Maybe not this time as they will be smarting from the gap of five points opened up by Chelsea. They haven't looked much United like this season, but still remain the team in the league that are mostly likely to put together a twenty game winning streak - usually December onwards. Class players in all departments, and it seems Rooney now coming to the fore as we expected he would.

All doom and gloom then? Probably, but there are positives. A certain braided hair South African with the gruffest voice on one so wee is due to return, along with possibly Phil "Phil" Neville who's desperate to return and will be very much welcomed (what a difference a season makes) which in turn should allow Rodwell a bit of a breather and add some cohesion back to our midfield. Under-rated is Phil. Osman is also available and as expected should take over from Gosling. With Heitinga seemingly starting to find his feet in the middle it will be interesting to see team Moyes deploys, you can bet your bottom rupee on there being five in the middle for this though.

Lets be honest, there was much more fight from Everton against West Ham but United is going to be a very tough ask. Luckily we've got games against Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal lined up quickly afterwards. One area we did show improvement in last area was competing with the top four clubs, and I hate using that phrase but they were the benchmark. It may be a bit premature for the results revolution to start here but attaining that level of fight from the last game will at least give us a progression point for starters.

With the games coming thick and fast from this point onwards the pressure is on to rescue a season that's been a tad underwhelming so far.

btw chico, that is a boss preview.

more please!

As long as Berbatov plays and Jo doesn't we'll be grand.

Still lose though 2-0 utd.

how very dare you, jo single handedly beat England at the weekend, he will undoubtedly tear them a new one, his close control and spins are an example and a lesson in how to electrocute a cruyff turn.

Exactly. Jo was outstanding, even when Brazil went down to seven men he still ran the show.

any true to the rumor that the yanks are sitting on the bench and baxter will be standing on a street corner w. fake money

I reckon the Hull game is more important to us than the United game, we need 3 points at Hull to stay on track for a respectable position by Christmas.

But it's no use thinking we can rest players against United, or go into the match half cocked. Moyes has to play his strongest available 11 and demand maximum effort from them. We need a strong fighting performance whatever the result, to set us up for the next few games.
