Game On! Manchester United v Newcastle United
Game On at Old Trafford Good morning one and all. Its an early start today as two United's clash at Old Trafford. Those two being Manchester and Newcastle United.
Oncs upon a time those two United's used to be rivals and went toe-to-toe for the Premier League crown.
We fluffed it whilst the Red Devils didn't and the rest is, as they say, history. Manchester United went from strength to strength whilst we fell away, but there will always be a part of me that is left wondering "what if". What if we did hold out? Where would we be now? Would we have been able to take a seat near the top of the Premier League table for a more sustained period?
I guess it doesn't really matter now. That was many years ago now but today is all that matters. As detailed in my match preview, Manchester United have been shaky so far this term but they do have a habit of performing against us.
They are without Wayne Rooney, who again has a habit of performing against us, but they still have dangerous players. Check out the full team news below.
The match itself is being broadcast here in the UK via BT Sport and is also being shown worldwide so picking up a stream should be fairly easy. If you do find a good stream then by all means feel free to leave a link to it in the 'comments' section below.
On paper there has never been a better time to play at Old Trafford but I'm still not expecting anything. A better performance than what we saw at Swansea would be a start though.
Howay the lads!
