United travel to Molineux to take on woeful Wolves on Sunday and look bankers at 1.36 with Betfred and Paddy Power to come away with another valuable three points.
Sir Alex’s side were not at their best when getting knocked out of the Europa League in midweek, but you can’t help but feel that competition was a distraction for them.
They can now focus on winning the Premiership, and the stats suggest that they will prove too strong for Wanderers.
The home side have have won just one of their last 14 Premier League games (W1 D5 L8), a run which started with a 1-4 defeat to United.
They are languishing in 19th and already look doomed to go down.
By stark contrast United are sitting top of the pile and come into this on the back of wins over Norwich, Spurs and West Brom.
They have won seven of their last 8 matches and have a striker in Rooney who is banging them in for fun.
Wazza has scored seven in his last four PL matches and is understandably favourite to score first at 4 with Betfred. But a safer bet is surely to take the 1.73 on offer with Boylesports to score anytime.
If I was forced to take a punt on who will net first though my money would be on Ashley Young who has been in good form and looks value at 8.5 with bet365 and Betfred as many firms go two points shorter.
I think United will win this with plenty to spare and expect them to go for the jugular right from the off.
I can’t see Wolves being able to contain them in the first 45 minutes, and that makes the 1.83 with Paddy Power in the HT/FT market look a great punt.
I fancy United to win 4-0 or 50, and those scores can be backed at 17 and 34 respectively with Betfred.

Are you real or fucking computer generated?
We’ve been shit against Wolves at there patch – to win 1-0 will be a start
To say they are woeful but we weren’t because getting knocked out of Europe was a distraction is fucking shameful, disgraceful writing
When did Manchester United start choosing wether a trophy is up to standards?
Fucking bad this is – this is writing at it’s worst
We deserve what we put in – if Wolves have been woeful – so have we for this week – we haven’t anything on them until we actually work hard put the shift in and get the result
Fucking betting bullshit – fuck the bets – the only thing on is this clubs desire to hold onto the last thing it can for this season – so it better hold on and start making amends for next season

Bring in Muniain. Brilliant player!
I like the “where to put your money” threads
MG Get better soon!!
De Gea and Muniand are best friends…sorry, it’s in spanish

Chelsea 1 up to clever for United youths.
Hi soren
Great that’s one transfer less to think about then
I’m getting better – thanks for that soren
I reada preview on the F.A.Y.C semi earlier on another blog featuring someone who works with the Utd youngsters and it basically conceded that Chelski are better because they’ve had a team that have been together for a couple of years whereas Utd are full of debutants and boy does it show ….. wow what a hit by Blackett ……..Utd starting to get in to it now .
@MG
3 Premiership games for us at the Molineux, 1 win and 2 losses. That’s how easy it’s been for us over there.
Anyway, I usually don’t pay any attention to the betting articles. They try to offer tempting odds for anyone willing to bet. But they have little to do with how football actually works on the pitch. If Nani or Valencia are again missing, Sunday’s game will be a real struggle. Especially if Rooney doesn’t make it either.
Been out of the loop a bit mate. Didn’t know you were sick. Whatever it is, I hope you’re getting past it now. We need you strong and healthy for the burritos.
MG Yeap ha ha Great player. Amazing energy of those boys.
Take care chico.
‘I fancy United to win 4-0 or 50′ – and Rooney to score 49 goals I reckon.
Aside, Sir Alex is right to be cautious, but I’m fearful till HT if we are to go only 1-0 up. Wolves would have seen how Bilbao’s constant pressing game almost throughout the 90mins upset our game plan of slow buildup. We did missed Tony V & Nani very much and hope they come back. Key is: don’t lose the ball in our half!
Does ony – body hay a len ohhh a Fiver , so I ken pit it on us , to fucking kick the shit ooot o Wolves .
Phonetically speaking.
Costas
I couldn’t even watch United lose yesterday – the extent of being ill – and I’m not happy at United falling foul like that but I will happily praise Bilbao where it’s due – hope they win it
I still reckon I’m a week away from some normality – it’s been a tough cold this one
We need to buck our ideas up – maybe yesterday was the sign that SAF needed things do need to change at OT if we are going to go back to Europe and start challenging the way we should – this year has been so not like United – understandable in certain ways – in others not really – missed Vidic and Fletcher so much for starters…
soren
Take care of yourself too – 19
Get in there ..1-1..!!
Costas
Seriously I’m not kidding you I so badly want some kebabs – I think I might be well enough to go get some ingredients to make some kebabs for myself tomorrow
United youth 1- 1 Chelsea 64 mins
Ask the people who rip up their fixed odds betting sheets each week how easy it is to predict bankers. Always one that will let you down. Keep your money for your ale, you get s nice refreshing pint and not some piece of carbon paper with yesterday’s results on !
James Wilson just scored a cracker in the first leg of the youth FA cup.
Tyler Blacket had a rasping shot, rattle the bar in the first half.
Its a great game.
Cmon United.
Damn it Chelsea just scored, Sutherland no chance in goal.
Is there a return leg? Or is this conclusive?
A good crowd at OT.
@ The team that wouldn’t die.
No this is the 1st leg mate, the second half of the tie, the date is not announced yet.
Thanks. Well good to know they’re not out.
Barmby and Daehlie look g like promising players.
OH van Velzen how could you miss that???
No probs mate, just the same as last season in the youth cup,
It was Stamford Bridge 1st leg last season.
It’s effectively just half time, so nothing decided.
Good to see Sir Alex at the game, that will give the lads a lift knowing the manager is watching them , in person.
bah ended 1-2 , van Velzen should have made it 2-2 3 mins from time standing alone dead center 4yrds out, ball played to his foot and he 1 timed it 5 yards wide. Hopefully they pull together another strong 2nd leg like last year.
Been to watch the youth players. As I’ved said before, different atmosphere at these games with so many youngsters in the crowd – like a countdown for every five minutes, and questions like, ‘ Have any of them got a beard?’ ‘Are they paid £4?’ and ‘Why does it say Stretford Eno?’ and ‘Have we won, Dad?’ IMO lads to watch Mats Daehli and ofcourse Barmby. Tyler Blackett and Van Velzen not as good as I’d hoped. The Chelsea lads looked sharper and more skilled, but we had our moments
@MG
You do that mate. I suddenly have the same craving for kebabs, lol. Must be because United are back on top in the league.
Costas
You know one of these days the great Costas and MG will have a kebab party all to themselves
19
Kebab: I recomend “Paradise” in Longsight.
Chelsea looked stronger and older in a way.
We had some moments of really good passing game. Not the class of 63/92/11 but still, a few of them are really top class. Barmby, Daehli.
Not enjoying watching games when the opposition look better
Hopefully we put wolves to the sword. NO MERCY. And PLEASE put some effort into this. The real war begins NOW…. LET’S GO UNITEDD. TIME TO GET 20.
Wolves have looked worse since Mcarthy left really believe the players liked him,stupid firing.Last years loss was on a shit pitch in awfull weather,just don’t see Wovles turning us over on Sunday.The correct score is a lottery a fiver bet while watching the game or taking 1st scorer outside the obvious just for a laugh. The 1.36 is around 4/9 so unless a decent sized bet is made no point.Should also like to point out 2.00 is even money 1.5 is 1/2 so at 1.73 Rooney is 3/5 to score,why would anyone make that bet
Wished i was at old trafford, it could av been better for the lads!
The problem with facing wolves is that guy Jarvis. Most of the problem we had came from him. If we can stop him, half of the problem is solved.. the other half is just how to open up their defense.
Its a sad day for United when a Nigerian feels he can make it at United and mind you, I’m a Nigerian. Our standards can’t have fallen so much. No need bringing the reasons to my point. They are glaring. On another thought, Dimitar Berbatov was quoted as saying if he switches on his telly to watch a match and sees no flair and technique, be it barca or madrid, he switches off the telly. Perhaps Berbatov for assistant to SAF if we can’t get Quieroz back? Perhaps also this is a cry from a desperate man not willing to see a top pro leave United. I’m talking about one of the most technically gifted/silky player of this generation. One who’s clearly in love with this club.
Always looks to me like the main threat is Fletcher in the air on corners and set pieces, hasn’t he scored like 10 headers this year? Anyway Wolves look a beaten bunch and ready for the Championship runout, if we can get one early it should be lambs to the slaughter, unfortunately if we get lazy and they nick a surprise who knows what could happen. Have plenty of faith though that we’ll come out and put on a display.
Morning reds,
some stats,
23 – Most wins in the 90th minute or later in PL history: Liverpool 23, Arsenal 19. Man Utd are 5th with 12. Myth
7 – Since 2003/04, Chelsea have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League more times than any other side (Barcelona 6). Assured
56 – Alan Shearer has scored the most penalties in Premier League history, 20 more than 2nd-placed Lampard. Obvious
60 – Thierry Henry (74) racked up 60 more Premier League goal assists than Ruud van Nistelrooy (14). Provider
3 – Chelsea are the 3rd English club to lose a European Cup 1st leg tie by 2+ goals & still progress (after Man Utd ’57 & Leeds ’92). Rare.
16 – Robin van Persie has become only the seventh player to score against 16 different sides in a single PL season. Myriad
15 – Since the start of 2010-11, only 3 players (Nani, D Silva & A Young) have provided more PL assists than Theo Walcott. Effective
19 – Chelsea’s total of 19 goals conceded in their first 13 home league games is the most since the 1991-92 season (also 19). Porous.
Courtesy – Opta
sandeep
good morning, nice stats… i thought united had the most wins in the 90th minute!
@ironbrand, what do you think determines one’s abilities? His country of origin? You’ve got to be kidding me. I av no doubts about my talent, and it doesn’t matter where I come from. But I won’t be surprised if that’s your mentality
My theory is that, out of all the injuries we’ve had this season, Vidic’s absence has hurt us the most and the key reason why we’ve been 2nd for so long. Not rocket science, I know. Our GD seems really bad. Does anyone have stats from previous seasons at this stage for GD?
i.e. goals conceded
Slow day
Don’t tell me everyone is enjoying the sunshine outside?
I must be the only one stuck inside with this bloody cold
Pretending to watch paint dry
Thinking about a beach lovely turquoise waters beautiful women walking by…
Beats thinking about watching paint dry lol
That must the longest cold in the history of colds? He he.
Willie – it’s nearly two weeks old – blimey…
the games begin once we get the wolves game is out of the way
MG – Nightnurse!
until we beat wolves shitty do not even enter my mind
Slow day on ROM it seems. Been offline for a little while.moving homes and stuff.
MG
How’s it going fella.
I think Fergie isn’t spending ATM because he wants the Glazers debt to be wiped out before the next manager takes up the reins. Less pressure on the new gaffer to perform under constraints then. However, if that doesn’t happen, there’s always Moyes ;-P
Willie
That’s a very good idea – I could do with Cedars nurse
FITB
Let’s not even think about city until it’s all but relevant to think about them at the end
slim
Okay slim just a cold mate – hows that going – house move? Where have you moved to?
I’m just a little bit concerned about a slip-up against Wolves – it’s always a tougher game after a midweek Euro encounter and while we cope with that better than most – nay, anyone – there is a chance things can go pear shaped. It’s a crucial one – having just hit the front and with Shitty playing the Renties next, 3 points would be huge. Go on United!
RoM been quiet of lately, less readers too…hmmm?
My Team for Wolves; We should play Fabio more often, its like he’s getting the Berba treatment too.
He’s been on the Bench fit for over a month now, with no appearances.
De Gea
Fabio Rio Evans Evra
Nani (or Valencia) Carrick Scholes Giggs
Rooney Chicharito
Bench; Amos,Smalling,Rafael, Pogba,Cleverley, Young, Welbeck
It’s all about our mentality tomorrow. People talk about a potential banana skin in this fixture. Well, I don’t like banana’s. I’m an apple guy. So, with that information now world wide, this is my team for Wolves away?
DDG, Smalling Rio Evans Evra, Valencia Carrick Clevs Nani, Rooney Welbeck. We’ll take some 25 minutes to get going, but end up winning this 3 0. Wazza to dazzle the pack!
clint
i would start with berba and cleverley though! and agree about fabio…
willierednut
ye its definitely not going to be easy, and since we have a bad record there! but once we score an early goal i think the players’ confidence will rise. will go for a 3-1 or as you said 3-0
It’s hard to argue with your line-up Willie, it’s a toss-up on the left between Nani and Young and for some reason i’d be surprised to see Smalling at right back, awesome as he is there.
I think its safe to say its going to be long time till we see Berba on the pitch again especially when SAF has publicly said he is on his way out.
Nani has a bruise so he should be back for this one, but we all know how a bruise affects Nani, its the equivalent to a broken collarbone for that fella.
I reckon Valencia was taken to Spain for training purposes and starting this game maybe be too soon, perhaps a surprise bench spot can be expected at most.
Young,Rooney,Clevs,Park,Rafael played 90 mins, with Clevs returning recently, I expect him to be also on the bench, perhaps Young aswell if Nani/Valencia return, Park will be dropped as usual.
I stick by my chosen side, think that will do enough for an hour then subs can be made to maintain fitness levels and competitiveness.
The break during the week will do us well, Europa has been a distraction because of the Thursday-Sunday fixtures, so SAF will probably sort out our issues in that week in preparation to tackle a difficult Fulham side. Another Bogey team there, with Pogbynryak (?) they’ll trouble us.
The Wolves game is a Must Win – we win this and we’ll go 4 points clear, putting pressure on Shitty for a must win on Wednesday against Chelshite. I’ll be rooting for them especially now that JT is manager & their form has turned around.
We should put this terrible week of Europa league behind us with a convincing battering of a relegation team, but you never know, this may turn out to be a slow,fatigued,boring game 3 days after Bilbao, 3 points is crucial.
I love JT
Leader Captain Dad of the Year Affair to Remember Sequel to Traffic
Now Chelsea manager
Go on lad get stuck in
MG
I love JT too !
He is such a charitable man. Gave us a CL trophy on 50th anniversary of the Munich disaster. He didn’t have to but we cherish the sentiment. He could teach Faggie a few things.
Leader of men, Captain, Legend among mortal men. Sincere, Humble,Honest…Selfless.
The Peoples Champion.
The likes of JT + Stevie G have eclipsed has-beens like Bobby Charlton and Bobby Moore. Their contribution has been significantly more influential and have paved the way for the next generation.
CMON JT, Nail those Shitty Men !
Papii
Steady on
Carragher said Gerrard is second only to Sir Bobby
Still let’s keep them where they belong – especially JT
Beat shitty win the CL – job done can retire in peace on a boat – beat that Gerrard!
MG
No Doubt Aboot it, Stevie G is better than Charlton, more hair, more cups, longer legs, a clean criminal record, a good man. People just misunderstand the “Five Finger salute”, he’s just friendly by nature, he wants to High-5 the whole crowd.
Aww isn’t that sweet!
Unlike that Bobby !
Papii
Gerrard
An outstanding leader of the game
So devoted to Liverpool that once upon a time his head was turned when Chelsea came calling.
That never happened to Giiggs or Scholes – and Sir Bobby!
One can understand the lure of Russian money though
If you go against them – they get sinister on your ass with a lethal polonium-210-induced acute radiation syndrome injection.
Gerrard got Luis Suarez instead.
Torres and Shevchenko Both moved to Chelsea & became identical form-wise and in ability.
Both looked unhappy, had negative body language, turned into play makers, had bad movement and looked like they wasn’t part of the team.
Perhaps both was threatened with Extinction Via Nuclear weapon, if they didn’t sign, its the only reasonable explanation, how else does a player perform so bad without drawing any kind of criticism even constructive from that team? Maybe they understand that both players was traumatised during negotiations and the repercussions are/was oozing on to the pitch.
Neither are terrible players, with Owen,Macheda,Diouf,Berbatov on the way out at United. It would be great of United put in a £5m bid for Torres, so Chelsea re-coup some of the £50m plus we gain a bench warmer.
Morrison coming on for west ham now with 10 minutes left
Morrison who?
Ha ha….he was pretty anonymous in the match as well devil310….the leeds fans booed him when he touched the ball..
Anyway west ham with an equalizer at the end..
Papii
If Torres moved to OT – he’d win everything
Score some goals too
It’s all in the head
At United we like dealing with complicated heads –
It’s so quiet
I can hear pins drop
No really I can
Oh
I’d take a punt on him but cus of his links with the dippers maybe not ..
a bit harsh on wolves despite their terrible record in the last 14 games as mentioned.
we lost 2-1 last time in this fixture at Molineux (if im not mistaken). on top of that the team are going to be fighting sooo soo hard to stay in the premier league. playing the teams which are in the relegation zone at the end of the season is usually so much more difficult than playing teams which have guaranteed safety for next season.
hope we play well tmr. if we play well, the goals will come
I don’t know whats happened at the Spurs game
But Fabrice Muamba – hope you are ok
19
shocking scenes at the lane. Let us hope Mamba is alright. God please save his life. cases like this puts football in perspective. very sad scenes.
muamba*
#PrayforMuamba
My bro law was watching the spurs Bolton game. He said when the lad collapsed, some fans on both sides were in tears. Terrible thing to happen on a football pitch. Hope the lad pulls through. Praying for it anyway.
Man United supporter, don’t comment often – 20 and onward and all that, but best to Muamba and his family.
cheers/dom
Please God, be well Muambe.
fabrice muamba i hope god is on ur side son…terrible wen this sort of thing happens, puts the rivalry and shite in football to the side…hope u get through this kido but i fear the worst as wen the dfib is used then chances of survival are not on his side. hope u are on the other side of ppl that do pull through…il b prayin for ya. this could mean uniteds game tomorrow could be called of if the worst is to happen and to b fair rightly so
i meant the same side…sorry
Hoping all is well with Fabrice! Always gut wrenching when a player goes down off the ball like that. Hope he’s ok!
Praying that Frabrice Muamba pulls through. Please God!
You’ve got to hand it to ‘em Tottenham fans. Baited breaths, prayers and all for a black man who isn’t even on their team. I am mega impressed with them and the players too who also agreed to call off the match. One minute into the incident, wikipedia had the dude as dead from a heart attack already. What wouldnt people do for a story? Glad they have had the sense to change it now anyway. #PrayForMuamba
Was watching the game, Shocked. It taken me a while to get my eyes off the screen.
Hope Muamba pulls through. Sad, nearly brought me to tears. Hope he recovers.
Its sad to see this happen, the football world is praying for good news.
Keep your money. Come on Reds!
Torres at £5 mil… Gd snuff for our bench?? Wazza + Torres hmmm just a thought!
Keep fighting Fabrice! Keep fighting. Our prayers are with you! God bless!
Come on United. We should win this tie comfortably. Mind you I said the last time around only to leave Molineux bitterly disappointed. I could not believe we threw the match after the early lead we took. anyway, I hope the lessons are learned and we stay focused the whole match.
I agree with Rooney, alongside the first Fergie title in 1993, No 20 would be the dearest one, so I hope other lads are also aware of this and deliver!
