Watford v UNITED (3pm, 26-08-06)

[Busby Boy]

So after 2 games, eight goals, one conceded and six points United sit top of the league and although it's soon it'll be great to win this and carry atleast a 3 point lead over Chelsea (2 over Dippers & Gooners) into the international break.

Watford will not make it easy and it will be a tough game so United will have to be patient and just play their football as they have been for the last two games.

I don't think Ben Foster is available for Watford and the man to watch on their behalf is MARLON KING who scored a cracker versus the Bummers Hammers.

I think we should line up like this:

Van Der Sar

Neville - Ferdinand - Brown - Evra

Ronaldo - Carrick/Fletcher - O'Shea - Giggs

Saha - Solskjaer

I can’t wait until we get our midfield sorted. But Watford shouldn’t pose too much of a threat so I’m not THAT bothered with what we’ve got (as the last two games have showed us)

What score are you predicting Adam?

Thank the heavens Brown will be back in the middle and not on the right and God only knows when Gabby is back (I’m praying it isn’t far away.) As for Fletcher, I’ve never been his greatest fan but I can’t deny him his goal, although I doubt he’ll score a better one than that anytime soon. He is a fill in man for me, that’s all. And if he does the job then I’m happy. Park deserves to play and will Ole start (shrugs shoulders)

I don’t like O’shea, not in midfield anyway. If you have no sleep and you stare long enough at his name, it starts to transform in to HARGREAVES (I’m telling you its true, lol) Carrick will be fit, Alex said he is back sooner than expected and should start against Watford. So I am looking forward to seeing him in action.

I’ve only ever watched highlights of Watford’s games so I don’t know what they’re capable of. But I’m going for 2 nil to us.

Van Der Sar

Neville-Ferdinand-Brown-Evra

O'Shea

Giggs Fletch Ronaldo

Saha Solskjaer

Score: 3-1 United...Goals from: Saha (2) and Ronaldo

[Sky Sports 1]

Pretty much agreeing with Adam's starting lineup apart from Solskjaer, still not sure if he'll start this. After the way he linked up with Saha in the short time they had you'd think he would, but Rossi still does need a chance whilst Rooney is out.

Yeah I'm predicting a 2-0 too, we should win but it could be one of those 0-0 at half time and we can't panic we need to stay patient if it does turn out that way.

I can see Fletcher's recent performances are turning opinions around, you used to be full of hatred for him as did others and now slowly but surely he is impressing with his performances.
I know he has a long way to go if he is to be considered first team quality but as it stands he is a very good player to have in situations like this with Carrick coming back to fitness, Scholes out, etc.
I've always stood by him because I know he has the talent and can make it at United.

[7even]

I don’t drink haterate (oh cue the laughter, cue the laughter, lol) I’ve never once said he isn’t a good quad player, and that’s what he is, a squad player. What I did and still would say is that he isn’t first team material, and we’ve agreed on that, just as I am agreeing with you on that he’s a decent fill in guy. I also pointed out that he’d get in other teams starting eleven, but if he’s happy being our Phil Neville or Nicky Butt, then we can all sleep at night can’t we.

I’m going mental here, we’ve only just played and I want us to play again, now.

Saturday is too far away (starts rocking back and fourth on my chair)

[Busby Boy]

I know yeah with the football we've been playing we should play everyday and after Watford we've got that stupid international break with boring England!

I'm looking for a torrent of one of our Premiership games this year...I'll give you the link if I find one...

[7even]

I have this one. Man Utd vs Fulham.

[Busby Boy]

Cheers mate, I remember downloading coverage of last year's match versus Arsenal and seeing myself of t'telly a few minutes into the game. I was chuffed with that.

You know any sites for Sports torrents specifically, (I have torrentspy, torrentreactor, mininova and demonoid) but I want to download a Season Review of United's and cannae find one.

[roonaldo]

Highly doubt Solskjaer will start. I think it will be the same team as Charlton with Neville and possibly Carrick drafted in to replace Silvestre and Fletcher.

Can't wait till the game although they will be hard to break down. 2-0 to us.

[redom]

Well if we play anything like we have in the last 2 games then Watford won't be able to cope with us, I'd like to see Carrick start after his appearance last night so I'll go

VDS
Nev_Rio_Brown_Evra
Ronaldo_Carrick_O'Shea_Park
Saha_Giggs

and I'm going for an ambitious 4-0 to us

[freeurmind101]

Well it will be a good game for sure, Watford looked ok against West Ham in midweek but I think we'll have too much for them. Here's my lineup:

VDS
Neville Brown Rio Evra
Park Carrick O'Shea Giggs
Ronaldo Saha

[BenW_23]

VDS
Nev-Brown-Ferdinand-Silvestre
Ronaldo-Fletcher-Carrick/O'shea-Park
Giggs
Saha

I see this match is on Starsports live. Can anyone tell me how to find that channel in PPstream? Is there a quick way to find the correct channel when the match comes on?
