Pasted from Sky Sports Preview of the big match tonight!!! Sky WAP Service Talk21 for free EMail Sky FAQsFeedback THIS WILL BE THE DEFINING MOMENT OF THE SEASON

 

It's a battle between two old war-horses, two wily old Foxes - Sir Alex Ferguson versus the man I think should be knighted in the New Year, the "imcumbent" Sir Bobby Robson. And it will be a cracker. Fergie seems to have gone back to the classic formation, with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer up front. They struggled earlier in the season when he tried to fit Scholes, Veron and Keane into central midfield - it simply didn't fit. The return of Ryan Giggs is important as well. He gives them pace, thrust and directness, something no one else at the club can give them. He is creating a lot of goals for van Nistelrooy and that may be the difference. Rod's prediction: It's a pick'em game. I'll go for a home win - I can't see Manchester United letting the title go that eas Now if one didnt know who "Sir Bobby Robson" was manager of one would have to check the fixture list to see who the supreme leaders of footy were playing wouldnt one??

How even more satisfying it would be to put one over on them

HOWAY THE LADS

I think we can squeeze out a famous 2-1 win. Let's face it, who would have thought we could turn over Arsenal or come back from 3-1 against Leeds?

strange but true .....

if we'd lost to Arsenal, when they were stuffing us, and then lost to Leeds when they were 3-1 up, we'd now be 11 points behind Leeds and 10 behind Arsenal.

I'd be delighted with a draw tonight

The head says we will struggle to a narrow 1-0 defeat but the heart says we will stuff them.

2-1 to SIR Bobby's likely lads
