The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

Or not.

[Starvinho]

Or not.

Agreed, Fergie has already said that Kuszczak is behind Amos in the pecking order and he'll be leaving in the summer when his contract's up.

[MJB]

Kuszczak's last PL game was away to Blackburn last April, never have I seen such a nervous first half performance from a goalkeeper.

You've clearly never seen my 5'10" frame stood between the sticks then .

A Manchester United fan has been charged for shouting racist abuse at opposition players during a Premier League football match.

Howard Hobson, 57, is accused of a racially aggravated public order offence and using threatening words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

Hobson, of Weaver Walk, Openshaw, Manchester, was arrested at the Manchester United v Stoke City game on Tuesday.

During the match a spectator made a complaint to stewards that a fan in the north stand was shouting abusive comments towards Stoke City players. Police were informed and Hobson was arrested.

He is due to appear at Trafford magistrates court on Wednesday.

Very happy more people are starting to take a stand against this, it happens all too often and the more of these hooligans we can get banned from our grounds the better.

My 5'9" frame is an even better sight, although I did manage a penalty save at the weekend.

Shame they scored the rebound.

Gareth Bale and Brendan Rodgers have been announced as player and manager of the month for January.

[Noah]

According to the betting markets down here, Chelsea are slightly favoured. Might be worth a bet on United.

[Baddar]

Utd were 2/1 last week, but it's dropped slightly to 15/8 since Ashley Cole's red card in midweek, and perhaps the possibility of Rooney/Nani being back.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Possible that Rooney, Nani, Cleverley, Young and Anderson will all be in the squad tomorrow, which is a massive boost.

Chelsea have almost become like Arsenal though in that you just don't know what you're going to get with them. They could turn up and be average at best or they could decide to show up and be bloody brilliant. No clue how this one is going to go, but as per usual, I fear Torres.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I've got a feeling Torres has reserved his best for the game tomorrow. I hope it's something like the last game, because it was brilliant. From Spurs perspective, I'd like to see a draw or even a Chelsea win. But really, I just hope it has lots of goals in.

[stokeriño]

'Lots of goals' has not been synonymous with Chelsea games over the past month of so. You'd be lucky.

[Colly]

Ask a silly question, but is the Arsenal game not on tv? Trying to work out why its on early...

Rooney, Nani and Young will probably feature, Cleverley could make the bench but it's unlikely and Anderson is out.

I really hope we can win tomorrow, if we could somehow take 6 points against Chelsea and Liverpool then it could give us the confidence to go on a long run. Chelsea could be there for the taking but you never know what's gonna happen in these big games, I'm hopeful we can win by the odd goal but a draw wouldn't be such a disaster. I'll go 2-1.

[Starvinho]

1-0 Arsenal already, Van Persie. Doesn't look good for Blackburn...

[Mad Jack]

Yeah, I've got a feeling Torres has reserved his best for the game tomorrow.

He's been saving himself for an entire year just for this match?

[Dingle]

He was saving it from that last poor season at Liverpool. He's all about the long term.

[Jimmy]

He played fantastic against them last time, albeit the open goal miss. Plus, he's been playing really well recently from what I've just seen, just without scoring many goals - which I hear is what strikes are judged on.

[Dingle]

Well, we're back level at the emirates! Arsenal needed to take the early goal advantage but as per, they didn't. Good strike from Peterson but it was a silly free kick to give away by Koscielny.

[Starvinho]

1-1 now, Pedersen equalises.
