Manchester United vs Newcastle United

Date: Sunday 1st October 2006

Kick Off: 3 PM GMT
After our dissapointing draw against newly promoted Reading last week, we really need to get back to winning ways in the Premiership. After going two games without a victory. We now head back to our own ground, Old Trafford to welcome Newcastle United, who have a few injuries, such as Shay Given, and a few others such as Micheal Owen, and god knows who else.

So they are having trouble...quite good if you think about it, surely an easy victory? Ok ok, let me move on to how it might go, we really need to win this game, with Rooney itching to get another game under his belt, plus Saha hoping to keep the goals coming, you have to wonder if this match will have plenty of goals in it, for the home side.

Last season, we beat Newcastle 2-0, with Rooney grabbing a brace, but hold on, it could of been 9-0 as we had lots of chances to really give Newcastle a hammering! I am looking forward to this game, and if we win, it'll put us back on track in the Premiership.

Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Newcastle

since Chelsea unable to win, it would be a shame if man u don sieze this opportunity.

Hope wazza would finally return to his form, since ronaldo is currently in hot form.

How come Saha didn't start then? rested?

 

[MUFC]

I reckon he was having some issues with his fitness, as he was taken off during the Benfica game midweek as well, so Fergie probably didnt want to risk him.

 

[D-A-L]

Yeh thats what I assumed, Solksjaer is quality though, just imagine if we hadn't lost him to injury for so long.

 

[unitedred]

Back where we belong, top of the league.

 

[Red Devil]

I was amazed at the antics of Newcastle defender, Taylor. He should have been red carded for both stopping a certain goal and for deliberate hand ball. His acting ability deserved an Oscar!!
