Milne and tevez will start and honestly ppl keep saying they aren't expecting anything from this and they're a bogie team or w/e... fuck that. We're hitting a really good stride and tempo atm. Our defense looks great and our attack is starting to really link up well. We need the 3 points to keep pressure on those rag twats who look to be on the downturn.
We can win this game. Stoke away was our other bs fixture and we overcame that this year.
We're going to win this game. We're better and tevez won't allow us to.
I admire your confidence. The reasons we struggle against this mob haven't gone away though. Whatever form they're in, this game has become their cup final. The small pitch plays into their hands and you can expect 8 men behind the ball at all times, and an aggressive midfield pressing the life out of Gaz Baz and Garcia, neither of whom is mobile enough to cope with it. A great pity Rodwell's not fit. I think I'd be inclined to drop Ya Ya back alongside Barry, and rest Garcia, and stick Kolarov and Milner out wide, with Silva in behind Tevez
