Although I live in the South of England, I thought it only right to use this term of endearment for Pompey!
Anyhow, back to the game. After the disappointment of last weekend, the pressure is somewhat on United to get a result at Fratton Park; strange really as it's only the 2nd game of the season.
However, with away games against the dippers and chavski on the horizon, we need to stay in touch.
I'm plumping for the following line-up, although it could vary depending on the fitness of certain players.
VDS Brown-Vida-Rio-Evra Fletcher-Hargreaves-Scholes-Giggs Tevez-Rooney Subs - PIG, O'Shea, Neville, Anderson, Park, Possebon, Campbell
Depending on the accuracy of recent reports, Manucho may make a surprise appearance on the bench; probably more chance of him being on the bench than Saha.
Fratton Park is not a good venue for us, therefore I'm going for a 1-1 draw with Tevez opening his account.

It'll be very close, 2-1 United Tevez with both.

Van Der Sar
Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
Hargreaves - Scholes - Possebon - Giggs
Rooney - Tevez I'd play that, Hargreaves was quality on the right side of midfield in Moscow and I think Possebon should get a chance to shine, although it'll probably Hargreaves in the middle and Fletcher on the right, who in all fairness has played very well recently. I'm worried we'll drop another two points which will be disastrous with the run up we've got (Zenit, Liverpool, Chelsea) - we need all three points. I'm confident we'll do it, although Fratton Park is a difficult place to go. 2 - 0 United Tevez, Rooney.

Tough away game usually. I'll predict a score draw and hope for better.

Hargreaves and his injuries are taking the piss now. I don't think we can measure him against the Injury King Louis Saha yet! And Hargreaves is important to the squad.
