Let's face it, they will score against us however well we defend. If we can capitalise on their general lack of pace (Giggs excluded), we may get something out of the game. If we can score against that Chelsea side, we can score against Man Utd. Then who knows what will happen?

We'll probably play three at the back with Solano and Bernard as wingbacks. The thought terrifies me.

Bill, I was being positive. We need to accept that we WILL concede goals on Wednesday. What we need to do is put away some of the chances we WILL make.

At least one more than they manage, hopefully, Dougal. :-{E}

Hopefully, Bill, but I hope we avoid our usual Old Trafford trick of running around after them like ten yearolds at a West Life gig (dunno who made that expression up, maybe John Gregory) instead of looking at their glaring faults and capitalising on it.

Both Soton & Fulham could and should have scored several more goals. It's up to us to show the world that they're human (still awesomely so) but human.

You've got it right Bill, its about time Man U's aura of invincibility was put to rest. I get sick to bloody death here in New Zealand of hearing about how great bloody Man U are, especially when they make first headlines in the media every week no matter what the other results are. They are a good team, but only another team for christs sake, forget the Chelsea result and think positively. When they have other fans talking scared never mind other teams thats just what their publicity machine wants, they've half won the game before they kick off.

Off the point slightly but I hope our idiots don't react to the Shearer baiting by doing the Munich thing, that we don't sing "Who the f...k are Man Utd?" - it stopped being funny when they won the Treble and they love it, that we do sing "Spot the Manc in the Stretford End" when the "Belfast Reds" coach announcement comes up.
