COME ON UNITED!!!!!
Are we going to be playing 4-5-1 or 4-4-2
Good pre game.........from the Guardian
Flame-haired midfielder news: word is Paul Scholes might be back for United after three months out with knee stuff. More unexpectedly, scurrying ex-Liverpool striker Milan Baros might be making his debut for Portsmouth after signing on loan from Lyon.
"How do you stop Cristiano Ronaldo?" we asked you. And already your answers have been flooding in. Nothing particularly useful yet. "Fall over before he does," suggests Martin White. No doubt Noe Pamarot will be giving that one a run-out very shortly. Here are some interesting Ronaldo-related pre-match facts: the rampaging Portuguese was sent off at Fratton Park in August after a headbutting skirmish with Richard Hughes. Since then he's scored 25 goals. He's got seven in his last four. Whatever could be about to happen next?
Our teams this evening:
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Scholes, Carrick, Park, Ronaldo, Rooney. Subs: Kuszczak, Hargreaves, Anderson, O'Shea, Tevez.
Portsmouth: James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Pamarot, Lauren, Davis, Diarra, Kranjcar, Baros, Mwaruwari. Subs: Begovic, Hreidarsson, Mvuemba, Hughes, Pedro Mendes. Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire)
He's back! Scholes returns. Now, how long before he's booked? I give it 12 minutes.
No place for Giggs even among the subs and Nani comes in for Tevez. And Baros does play for Pompey, up front with the deadly Mwaruwari, scorer of a hat-trick last time out against Derby.
Stopping Ronaldo update: "Foul him, and foul him hard," says Howard Robinson. Not a very nice suggestion. And you suspect it might not work either. As Graeme Souness is fond of saying "he's a big unit". And he does like toe-poking in those free-kicks too.
Also tonight, it's David James' 500th terrible flapping attempt at a punch from a corner that ends up being punted back into his own... sorry that should read 500th Premier League appearance. A fine achievement by the big man. And he still looks so young.
"Fool him into thinking it's a crunch match late in the Champions League," says Gary Naylor, with a cynical curl of the lip, questioning the young man's appetite for the big one. Perhaps unfairly. Ben Jilbert, meanwhile, sends a long email explaining his many interesting thoughts on tonight's game, but unfortunately finds himself heading straight into the bin for calling me "Barry". Sorry Bob.
