International break.

[Romario]

Could work both ways i guess.

Eitherway right now I'd love us to play again midweek and the weekend. We look feckin amazing/

: )))))))))))))))))))))

[Jarg Armani]

it's a bit of a c***, yeah. the only sour note i can think of. aside from rafa not smiling/celebrating.... yawn.

[Cunny]

gives the mancs two weeks to think about their two defeats and our form

we play Fulham the day before the mancs play Villa, so we could be top the next time the mancs play

Hope so, really hope so - but we need the mancs to lose one and draw one for us to have it in our own hands

[surf]

it's in our hands if they draw two

Well we both have Arsenal, and they have Man City and Villa - here's hoping

Thanks.

 

[madaboutlfc]

lets hope our boys are rested and come back fully fit and roaring.. a break can be good if we take into consideration the energy we have put in

Mascherano will be involved for Argentina against Bolivia (28th) and then Colombia (1st April)

Unlikely to start at Fulham on the 4th.

He might try and get him through it because he's banned in the CL, then again he might try what we'll do for the CL game, Lucas im assuming. So err f*** knows!

Hadn't thought of that. Unlikely still though. Away to Bolivia, K.O. 20.30 GMT and then a flight back the next day ? Into Heathrow, absolutely banjaxed on the Thursday evening. Light training on the Friday before the game.

 

Is Lucas in the Brazil squad for their qualifiers ?

Think he's been left out this time, not 100% on that though.

I think it can be done, it's a late game, it's more a question of getting back on some kind of UK time. We're down in London anyway so I'm sure he'll stay there.

bolivia's that match that's played at mad altitude isn't it? could see mascherano not being right for fulham in that case.

might not affect him cos he's only little, his head is closer to the ground.

Makes more sense as to why Utd aren't moving their game against Villa to the Saturday then - If Berbas**** is injured they'll need Tevez available to them and 1245 KO on the Saturday would not work - hopefully Porto can take advantage of all this

Was that an option? Thought there was already a live game on at that time and it was set in stone

[Falconhoof]

It says here (ESPN) that Lucas is NOT in the Brazil squad for these qualifiers. Anderson and Elano are though.

 

For my money that makes Lucas nailed on for the Fulham game.

It was an option but they'd have to play early game at 1245 on the Saturday for TV - word is that Fergie is none too happy about SKY scheduling our game at OT early on the Saturday and he has refused to give them anymore interviews much like what he has done to the beeb - the man is cracking up

[ali]

Fred's going to have is work cut out against Turkey, both Villa and Silva in rehab although still expected to join up with squad tomorrow, Villa hasn't played for few weeks and Silva was also out at the weekend. Guiza's been injured and that only leaves young Llorente fit and Fred.

Iniesta's out as well, could mean Reira and Xabi also getting a hammering. Grim

fookin hate international games mid season

[Johnny Red]

I think this international break is bad.

 

It interrupts the winning roll that we are on.

It also gives the Mancs an opportunity to take a breath and get their act together.

[stressederic]

Each day that goes by leaves me more and more frustrated about this break in the schedule. These things very rarely arrive at a good moment but it certainly has for United and the worst moment imaginable for us.

 

Hell after Sunday I would have been annoyed if we'd had to wait until Saturday to play again, a mid-week game would have been perfect.

While playing international football?

 

This is one occasion when the break actually works in OUR favour
