For the first time since I can remember this season, we can pick a full strength team. Only Lamela missing, but Sonny has more or less nailed that position out on the left.

Utd will always be a big match, but we are more than capable of beating this lot.
 
chance they may have to stay out there an extra day

Apparently, if their game is cancelled tonight, they have to play it friday early afternoon. That would mean they get back early hours of Sat morning.. No training saturday and then straight into our game sunday..

Fergie would have made sure that didn't happen.
 
Fergie wouldn't have them in the Ropey league. His last title winning squad wasn't great but still got the job done.

That's true but even if they were where they are now, he would've kicked up such a stink that our game against them would be called off one way or another.

I thought UEFA scheduled our group so that Moscow wouldn't be at home for Matchday 6 because of Russian weather in December, Ukraine is in the same region so why wasn't the same done here?

They'll have to suck it up just like we did when we had to travel back from Azerbaijan and then not long after play the LC final.

Moscow is about 1300km further up north than Odessa (where Utd are meant to play tonight) - completely different weather - almost same latitude as Milan

Weird that injuries tonight might actually help them - Mourinho might be forced to pick different players and inadvertently stumble across a better team

Schneiderlin and Depay perhaps? Utd have been quite rotten for about the last 10 matches. They've dominated games yet seem to buckle quite late on. I'd rather they didn't discover some form against us.

What time before kick off before we find out if it's been rescheduled? It's a 18:00 isn't it.

Just think of those poor Utd fans that have travelled to the Ukraine. Surely the stadium would be empty if it's played tomorrow afternoon?

Even if it goes ahead, plenty of opportunity for injuries on that frozen pitch...
 
I simply don't understand the complete lack of interest from the media and pundits in Ibrahimovic's back heel into Coleman's temple when he was laying on top of him. It could have caused serious damage, yet not a peep from anyone. Throwing an elbow gets you a 3-5 game ban yet his blatant kick to the bonce isn't even investigated.
