Charlton vs Manchester United

DATE: Wednesday 23rd August 2006.

KICK OFF: 20:00 GMT

LIVE ON: Sky Sports 2.

Our second Premiership Game of the Season is a trip to the Valley, which is a good hunting ground for us, as we seem to win there every time. Charlton lost their opening game to West Ham 3-1, and we should be in confident mood when we face them.

The last time we came to the Valley, we saw some brilliance from Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who scored a fantastic goal, which he volleyed home from close range. He then scored a goal from outside the box, his very first goal has scored from outside the box, but good old Ruud won't be helping us this time round.

I should mention Alan Smith, who also scored a goal against Charlton, and I believe that was his last goal too, I'm not sure though. I'm looking forward to this game, we can beat Charlton, but how many will we win by?

PREDICTION: Charlton 0-2 Manchester United

last 3 matches ended with 4 goals... will it be the same tis time

[unitedred]

Desperately need 3 pts here, we are without Roonster and Scholesy.

I predict 0-2 for United, Saha and Ronaldo with goals.

[rossiforever]

looks like we will be going in with this formation

--------------------saha---------------------

Wonderful result, and chelsea losing made it all the more better.

[MUFC]

This was a good win indeed early on in the season, and yeah, it was great to see Chelski slip up

Ronaldo and Giggs were all over the park today, and deserve credit for the win.

[Manuxtreme]

Was a good game and we definetly derserved the win. Charlton were lucky it was only 3 in the end as it could have been much much more.

It was great to finally see Ole on the scoreboard
