  For me, This is going to be one of the most difficult match United have in their run in...

  Cos not only are West Ham United's jinxed opponent, they are very much an on-form side right now as well...

  The 2 points Arsenal lose against West Brom yesterday could be return after this... It's a good thing Arsenal lost 2 points that many expectd them to take all 3... Cos it helps.

  This match will also be 4 days before United's CL showdown with Chelsea...  Some changes may be expected...

  Just keep out fingers crossed that United can get the points they need...

  yes this away match to west ham is tricky and difficult, days before united play chelsea in the CL qfs. I be happy if united can get 1 point here and injury free. united cannot afford to have defenders or midfielders out injured before the chelsea match.

  Squad sheets: West Ham United v Manchester United

   

   

  Sir Alex Ferguson's record at Upton Park is passable but the Manchester United manager may associate the stadium with the death of title campaigns. His comment about already relegated West Ham's "obscene effort" in 1992 has entered folklore and so has his team's failure to win on the final day in 1995. United have shed points away from home this season and another two or three here might spark feelings of deja vu. The margins for error are tight for both clubs although West Ham are not playing like a relegation team.

  • If selected, Edwin van der Sar will be making the 600th league start of his career

  no VDS, must be rested for the chelsea game. I be happy with a point with no injuries today. good to see Park back today. united miss his industry and energetic play, which was missing.

• Rooney9

  2 Apr 11, 19:54

  cb evra handled the ball penalty knn. west ham scored penalty. heng its still a long game yet for united to chase the game.

• Rooney9

  2 Apr 11, 20:11

   another penalty despatched by Mark Noble, a contentious penalty, which was outside the penalty box on the line. west ham 2-0 now.

  wtf man 2 penalties. i think gg even though united look more threatening

• Rooney9

  2 Apr 11, 20:15

  west ham is man united jinxed opponent.

• Rooney9

  2 Apr 11, 20:16

  no Nani, no hernandez, no VDS, all rested for next week chelsea game.

  This season away form so chui, no need to see if the opposition is jinx or not.

  I won't ever put my hopes up when Utd are playing away nowadays....

• Rooney9

  2 Apr 11, 20:31

  yes you are right. unfortunately we dun have 2 defensive midfielders to protect the back 4 in away matches. united need to buy a midfield play maker and a defensive midfielder for next season.

• funniegal

  ...man utd not playing like champion winning so many thing leh..

  ronney alone again..can la..but with gisbon and giggs....hm...park play midfield?

  ..very messy midfeild.  Evra..can go learn jumping...with both hands surrender liao hehe..

  2 goals down...

• Rock^Star

  2 Apr 11, 20:36

  ah man.....i say take gibson out. Hopeless bugger, what's he been doing by far? Evra also farker.....go and handle the ball. What are these professionals thinking?

• omgukilledkenny

  2 Apr 11, 20:37

  I think the DM today is supposedly Carrick...but he's probably Utd's poorest player this season lol.

  But i think Fergie will still stick with Carrick today and bring Gibson off,cause he's on a yellow, for Anderson.

  Looking at the decent amount of crosses Utd have been putting into the West Ham box, maybe Hernandez might be a good introduction to the game.

   

• omgukilledkenny

  2 Apr 11, 20:40

  and I think Utd are very very lucky to still have Vidic on the field.... .....Ref gave benefit that Ba couldn't reach the ball.

• Rooney9

  2 Apr 11, 20:45

  chelsea and arsenal players must be smiling now, knowing that united trail west ham 2-0.

  if united does lose, hope arsenal and chelsea doesnt win.

• Rock^Star

  2 Apr 11, 20:45

  can't give the red unless the goal scoring chance is very high, last man or not. Put hernandez in....we will surely get at least three with all those crosses.

• omgukilledkenny

  2 Apr 11, 20:48

  and hernandez is on.

• Rock^Star

  2 Apr 11, 20:49

  there u go.....giggs before he even crossed, hernandez alrdy running towards "it". How to have such instinct?

• omgukilledkenny

  2 Apr 11, 20:49

  First cross of the 2nd half delivered and Hernandez has gone to attack it with intent already.

  C'mon utd!!
