    They were saying on the Sunday Supplement that it might be Owen starting instead of Berba.

    I'd go for Anderson, Fletcher and Carrick to slug it out in centre midfield, and allow Berbatov, Rooney and Giggs do whatever they want.

    I agree, in fact I wouldn't mind Owen starting most games, but then again I am an Owen fanboy.:D

    A draw would be ideal, however I can't see past a Chelsea win. If Drogba turns up then I think the Man U defence is in for a rough ride. I'll say..........2-0 to Chelsea with Lamps and Drogba getting the goals.

    I was glad to see them rubbishing the Rooney story whilst all the while the guy from the NOTW sat there trying to justify the nonsense.

    I don't like the way roy keane gets lavish praise as a footballer for being one in a million . He is one in a million he's just a more talented version of Joey Barton. He was a thug playing football nothing inspiring or what ever about it.

    Great leader , Good Player but got way to much praise for effectively being a thug.

    They were only saying it because Berbs may be kept out by injury.

    Has Drogba ever scored against United?

    Keane is a legend and a great footballer.A thug? He was the midfield tough man. Football is going to become a non contact sport soon full of wingers who dive if you sneeze on them!

    When you make those important tackles and boss the midfield that is inspiring, saying he wasn't inspiring is loltastic. Why am i even replying to this nonsense!

    C'mon Chelsea !!

    Worded that bit wrong, I mean there's nothing inspiring in a dirty tackle. In terms of getting a team riled up he was great.

    Chelsea should win but I believe Deco is ordinary and if on, it's to Utd's advantage.Hope it's hot and intense.Drogba to bag a few?

    Chelsea to win 2-0.

    I cant see United winning today, hoping for a draw but if they couldnt get themself psyched up for the liverpool game, I cant see them suddently finding inspiration for this one. Chelsea being the form team, and drogba the form player... with our CB partership out meh, only one outcome imo.

    Glad to see some Liverpool fans finally getting it into the their that the best thing that can happen for them in this game is a United victory/draw.

    At this stage, I'm very nervous, as I always am before these big games. I think Fletcher if he plays will make a big difference. We'll be much stronger than we were against Liverpool.

    Can see Chelsea taking this comfortably enough. 2-0 for me. Hopefully though it'll be a draw with lots and lots of injuries.

    Not been following the build-up too much (hard to over here anyway) Looking forward to the game though, live on TV over here too :D

    Not sure how the game will turn out, as others have said form goes out the window in games like this. I'd love United to win, but the best I can see is a draw, Chelsea are playing very well and I still don't think United are, lets hope they prove me wrong today :D

    only a rumour though...
