Official site really fecked up this time. Ostrovsky is no longer with the club while Benayun moved to Santander and Yakubu is suspended.

More likely lineup: Awat; Harazh, Keise, Ejiofur, Benado; Zutautas, Badir, Zandberg, Rosso, Pralija, Katan.

Apparently Stewart TOO is injured (out for two weeks).

Correct, and Butt faces a late fitness test, however Veron has been passed fit.

Good, I hope Butt makes it.

Me too, I think he will, none of us expected Barthez to come back when he did, nor Scholes.

I'm hoping for a nice confidence boosting performance from Veron. I think its crunch time for our super star signing.

He either performs now while Keano and Scholes are out or he could find himself shipped out at Christmas (for a hill o beans and a dozen mince pies - if we're lucky!)

Good point... it's now or never... otherwise he'll be given the Official Boring & Useless Man Utd Player tag.

This is true, if he doesn't take this opportunity, his career here will be very short lived. I still think we were trying to sell him over the summer, but no one had the money.

Football is not so tough isn't it?

As Ole said, we should go back to the roots and stop pretending that we are the superstars and champions etc... it's a matter of life and death now... it's all about gettin' the freakin' ball into the net twice or thrice everytime...
