Well the bloke on the left is Oliver Hardy. And don't know about the one in the middle, must be a stand-in for Stan Laurel

Looks like an attacking team to me!

My £5 is safe with Sparky

[ihateburnley]

Woah hold on a minute!

I put £2 on Bellamy to score first and Rovers to win 1-0 and I only got odds of 80-1! Put a quid on Emerton to score first so judging by the lineup, that was a waste!

Looks like a cracking lineup, and seems like Sparky is willing to have a good go at his old club! However, I'm not convinced this is the right decision - it's probably one of the only games I would advocate the 4-5-1 formation! Still, I firmly believe it's down to the players, and NOT what system Hughes decides to play them in.

P.S. Does anybody know who is on the bench?

4 - 4 - 2 ????????????????? what ever next

[greggyk]

Oh well, lets just see what happens.

I was expecting 4-5-1, but maybe thats what Man Yoo were expecting aswell. Maybe we can get em a bit confused.

Anyway, im changing my prediction from 1-0 Rovers......to 3-0 Rovers!!!!!!

GED INTO EM!!!

We're going to get spanked playing that formation, you can't 'have a go' against a team that can play football 10 times better than you and expect to get anything. T'Axe should have been protecting the back four in my opinion, especially considering the formation they play. Hopefully I'm wrong

[stuwilky]

Subs: Enckelman, Emerton, Kuqi, Reid, Mokoena.

[James No. 7]

1-0 to Rovers. Bellamy to continue his sublime form.

The 4-4-2 for a match like this can make some sense if you look at United's defence at the moment, with Neville and Heinze out.

Would rather a 5-4-1 with Jansen playing as the lone striker (we need skill, not brute Kuqi force against United... he'll be knocking the ball all over the place and they'll just absorb that) with Bellamy playing a supporting/winger role.

Morten Gamst Pederson tra la la la la la !!!!!!!

[James No. 7]

Join the chat, fellas.

[Welshrover1981]

MGP with the goal and Rovers winning 1-0 at half time.

Plus 5 Live are saying Rovers are playing the better 'more attacking' football

I must be dreaming!!!

But hold on its half time. IF only football lasted 45 minutes.

I think my Ass will be twitching until for another 45 minutes.

Doing OK so far, 7 shots on target could be 2 or 3 up but for Van Der Sar. Ref is going to gift the game to United, I already don't like the double standards. United are allowed to hold down our players for every headed ball, arms on shoulders, both arms holding our players. Silvestre on Bellers was a deliberate knee. Pedersen gets called for a perfectly good sliding tackle. You watch a ref's decision will either change or gift the game to the Glazers.

[pick32]

1-1 ######

[Shevchenko]

Hmm...we put Reid on and go to 4-5-1 and they score. Interesting.

[DE.]

It was coming. If it ends 1-1 I won't be disappointed.

[pick32]

hope we can score of his corner

[Guest Kamy100]

Brad could have done better with the United goal. United are now starting to turn the screw.

[Rovermatt]

Oh well, I knew that was too good to be true.

[krislu]

Is Bellamy still on the pitch, heard he might be injured.

1-1 would be a very good result for us, but I won't be suprised if they score the winner in the end..

Gutted...had 1-0 and Pedersen at 220-1!
