United - Arsenal today. Any predictions? Rio is banned, so we'll probably line up something like

---

VDS

---

--Rafael

---

Evans----Vidic

---

Evra-

---

Fletcher--Scholes--Carrick

---

--Valencia

---

Nani----

---

Rooney

---

Possibly Anderson for Scholes and Brown for Vida if SAF doesn't want to throw him in yet. He's fit and ready to play AFAIK.

I think we'll be up for it, and I'm actually feeling pretty confident. I think (hope) we'll nick it.

Looks like you got the two goal margin right
3-1 at the moment, still 3 minutes of injury time to go.

Rooney's goal was super. LMAO at Almunia what an idiot.

ROFL at og!

It wasn't that bad of an OG to be fair. He was trying to push it over the bar, but couldn't get enough on it. He had to go for it, cause Park would've tapped it in if he hadn't. As a goalkeeper you're not taught to push a cross like that in front of goal.

I'm biased though, having been a goalkeeper

Fantastic performance today. Wasn't expecting us to be that good. Arsenal were poor, but we deserve a lot of the credit for that. We didn't let them play.

Nani in particular surprised me. The 'assist' for the OG was exactly the sort of thing the Messi fans would be creaming themselves over had he done it. The problem now is what to do with Valencia if he keeps up this form, since neither of them seem to be able to play on the left.

Yes, very true point but I do like my Gaelic Football and I like hurling sometimes.

So, lets talk about Soccer. Who will win the Carling Cup final tomorrow

I'll go for 2-1 Villa. I think they'll really be up for it, and to be honest, I would've taken a defeat if it meant Chelsea were to lose aswell, given the choice.

But still, a trophy is a trophy...

It would be nice to Villa win it. I think this will be a 1-1 and someone will win it on penalties.

I think Waterford will beat Galway in the NHL tomorrow

Well, United haven't scored at the New Wembley outside of Community Shields, so it'll probably be another snore-fest. Villa don't exactly play exciting attacking football...

yea same here. Wins for tipperary and kilkenny too. Thats if dublin play as bad as they did against ye last week. And with no mccrabbe, its a big blow to the team. A strong force in the team, i'd be interested to see how they cope without him especially up against the likes of tipp.

Are the portumna lads still resting deise? If so, i'd say ye'd beat them alright. They weren't too impressive against limerick last week from what i could see.

Daly is great manager but can be an idiot at times. IE the All Ireland quarter final.

Nah it was 0-0. The only goal in a cup final involving United at the New Wembley was Drogba's in the FA Cup final in 2007, and that was in extra time...

Slow Show

Galway & Waterford match tomorrow if it hasn't already been mentioned up Galway :D

Think McCrabbe is back starting actually! 11minutes waiting for the friggen paramedics and all it was was swelling and bruising, it was ridiculous!!
Yup Portumna are resting thank god :pac: I think we have a chance coz tbf without the Cannings Galway are only half a team.

Yea I know it was a load of inexperienced players, but when you look at who is out, how many of them would really start in June?
Last Sundays starting would be the guts of our June team, so we dont really want to be losing heavy defeats tbh. Well June we'll have Eoin Murphy, John Mullane and Eoin Kelly starting after that it would be atoss up between those starting sunday and those resting/suspended.

I haven't seen the dublin starting team so i wouldn't know. That's good news if he is. He's class. I'll have to find the dublin starting team. Wonder if dotsy is starting tomorrow. I still think tipp will beat them.

And what did Daly do in the all ireland QF, unknown?

The CC Final last year or the FA Cup in 07?

Not that it matters, both were shíte.

Took 4 of the starting forwards off in the last 20 minutes when they were up against Limerick.

ah, they tagged up a few scores straight after the 2nd half kicked off but went dry.
Ye just lost because of inexperience and unfortunatly ye were up against an experienced team used to being in those stages of the championship.

You should be counting your lucky stars that ye didn't meet tipp in the semi final for a mauling anyways :pac:

In all fairness it would have given hurling a big boost if Dublin got to an All-Ireland semi final in hurling because it could be the measuring stick to how popular hurling is or can be.

I am sick. Dundalk got a late goal against my team tonight.

That prediction was very fa from the truth...
Least we'll beat Limerick in 9 days

I could not believe Dublin trashed Tipperary. Great win against a team that nearly beat Kilkenny in the All Ireland Final

Excellent win for UCD away to Drogheda

Roll on Bohs on Tuesday...
