I read a report on the Dynamo Kiev game and it said that Vidic can't come up for corners for a while incase he risks further injury. Thats why I haven't had my weekly bet on him. Unless of course he scores a 25 yarder. You just wouldn't want to get in the way of that fucker!!

This is according to the BBC website:
United were held to a 1-1 draw by a plucky Middlesbrough side in last season's corresponding fixture. The Red Devils have a 42% winning record against the Teessiders in the Premier League at Old Trafford (won just five of 12).
Thats shit!! Bit worrying too. Im now nervous.

I never feel good about the fixture against Boro, the only thing that a bit better this time around is that they're not playing well, so hopefully their bad form will continue in this match too. The other fixture I never look forward to is Blackburn and this year even more so. |

Yep we have only won 1 in the last 6 against them at OT which is terrible, even teams like Chelsea and Arsenal would love that record against us! But Boro are a different team now, they have been very poor this season and its time for us to eradicate the 'bogey team' label they have gained from us  |

A 3 o´clock ko - how weird is that! Meanwhile a tiny snippet to jog the memories: Just one incident in Ronnie Vs Boro saga. Happy days! ;D Apart from the Morrison thing - lucky Ron got out of the way there, or more accurately - smart of Ron to see it coming. Love the way Wazza came running in backing Ronnie's case!  |

Interesting stat:
United aim to string quartet together
Manchester United will smash a 100-year record if they score four against Middlesbrough - but Cristiano Ronaldo is only interested in points.
Having hit a combined tally of 12 goals past Wigan, Aston Villa and Dynamo Kiev in the last three games, United know another quartet against Gareth Southgate's strugglers at Old Trafford will see them emulate the feat of Billy Meredith's side during the 1907-08 campaign by netting four in four consecutive games.
Such an extraordinary long wait, for a club of United's free-scoring potential, emphasises just how impressive an achievement it would be.
But for Ronaldo, who has contributed four to the total with doubles against Wigan and Kiev, the statistic is irrelevant in the continued pursuit of honours.
"Of course, if you have an opportunity to score more goals you should take it because the fans enjoy the game more and the players' confidence increases," he said.
"But I don't worry about how many goals we get, I am only interested in how many points we get. It could be half-nil for all I care just as long as we win."
Ronaldo does accept there has been a startling transformation in United's scoring fortunes during October.
Prior to the Wigan game, Sir Alex Ferguson's men had scored just nine times in 11 outings.
Yet, it is not just the number of goals that has impressed Ronaldo, it is the number of players who have scored them, with Rio Ferdinand particularly prolific in recent times.
Throughout his career, Ferdinand has never scored more than three in a season. Yet, after successive strikes, and one against Russia for England at Wembley, he is already up to that tally this term.
And Ronaldo would be happy to see the £29.1million defender match him stride-for-stride in the scoring stakes.
"I have kept telling Rio he has great qualities," observed Ronaldo.
"He is tall and strong and exceptionally good in the air. I hope he scores a lot more, more than me if he can. I would be very happy if he did that."
In truth, there is little chance of that, with Ferdinand soon likely to concentrate his energies on keeping United's opponents out, as he did so effectively at the start of the campaign.
It is Ronaldo, with six goals in six games, and Rooney, with seven in six for club and country, who provide the main offensive threat for Ferguson and his team over the coming weeks.
Middlesbrough have proved obdurate opponents in recent seasons, grabbing at least a point on five of their last six league visits to Old Trafford.
But with table-toppers Arsenal due at Liverpool on Sunday, six days before they entertain United at the Emirates Stadium, now is not the time for the Red Devils' winning streak to end.
"It is always difficult to play after a Champions League match but that would not be justification for winning tomorrow," said Ronaldo.
"Middlesbrough are a difficult team to play against but we are at home and we are confident.
"We all know Arsenal have a difficult game this weekend. If we win and they lose, it will give us a chance to play without pressure next week."

Any one about.
Coming from the south tomorrow for the match.
Every time I part some where different.
Where is best to park near the ground to leave the match at the end of the game and not spend an hour getting out from where you've parked.
I know its late in the day but any suggestions welcome.
;D
