Or you can take the Official Site approach! www.qpr.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1442643,00.html I predicted somewhere, I thing 6-1 loss or something like that. I think we get slaughtered. (I'm not sure why we went up to Man Ut Sunday morning) |

I'm not worried  Tomorrow's Man Ut squad: Blackpool Gazette- Brazilian star set for United return Rodrigo Possebon will make a Carling Cup comeback for Manchester United against QPR at Old Trafford tomorrow night. The teenage Brazilian has been promised his first appearance since being carried off on a stretcher against Middlesbrough in the last round with a badly-cut leg. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson will also hand places to Rafael Da Silva, Jonny Evans, Darron Gibson and striking duo Manucho and Danny Welbeck, as United look to secure a quarter-final berth. But Patrice Evra is virtually certain not to be involved after leaving Arsenal with a protective cast over his right ankle on Saturday. Man Ut Team (from): Kuszczak, Foster, Amos, Rafael, Evans, Cleverley, O'Shea, Chester, Possebon, Gibson, Hewson, Fletcher, Park, Anderson, Carrick, Nani, Giggs, Welbeck, Manucho, Rooney, Tevez. [ And a reminder what happened almost Forty Years ago...March 19, 1969: Manchester United 8 QPR 1 Marsh scored for QPR - one of four he scored that season!) Half time score was Man Ut 1 QPR 0 (or 2-1). Manchester United scored 4 of their goals in the last 15 minutes. QPR's Team: Spratley - Clement Hazell Hunt Watson - Glover I.Morgan Sibley Clarke Marsh Leach - Sub: Keetch for Clarke. Manchester United Scorers: Willie Morgan 3, George Best 2, John Aston, Brian Kidd and Nobby Stiles got the goals. Man Ut's Team included: Stepney, Fitzpatrick, Dunne, Crerand, James, Stiles, Morgan, Kidd, Aston, Law, Best |

2 games I was at we didnt disgrace ourselves. 5th round only lost 2-0 early 90s then 2-0 opening day 93 I think. someone confifm. Anyway Clive Wilson Red carded at about 5 mins. just after Worldcup and not enough red cards given. We had 10 men and had more of play with Gallen clearly held in penalty box by Keane but no call. Alan McDonald not quite quick enough that day but the proper referee works against you at Old Trafford. The bungler Saturday worked for us. Injury time is called from bench by Sir Alex and I wont mention the last time we played them here.

So if their kids are most of team we have chance of result Hall and Stewart will hold the center Ramage knows Giggs well. He is slowing down. Buszaky MUST start as third midfield/ striker. The mismatch is Rooney and Tevez v Dex and Agyeman who I would start. Ledesma and Parejo (if sober) can hold the new Brazilian star. Predict 2-2 draw. Cerny knows them and must be spectacular. Catch the ball . No parries

The "cool" thing is that probably some of the Man Ut players we've scarcely heard of, will in years to come, be massive players (and others will probably drop down the league!).

I would think that our Madrid youngster will be considered a must for this game for a number of reasons.

Beware curse of QPR - Parker
From Manc Evening News
Stuart Mathieson
11/11/2008
NEW Year's day 1992 still sends a shiver down Paul Parker's spine and serves as a warning to United's Carling Cup ambitions tonight at Old Trafford.
The England right back had been a Red for just six months following a move from Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 1991 when his former Loftus Road colleagues came north.
A Dennis Bailey hat trick in the 4-1 win constituted one of the bleakest days in Sir Alex Ferguson's United managerial career.
Now the championship team are coming back to Old Trafford for the Carling Cup fourth round and Parker says there is no reason why shock might not be on the cards.
"It was soul-destroying for me in 92," he said. "The QPR fans taunted me with `You should never have left Rangers' songs," he told M.E.N. Sport. "It was difficult to lose to a club I loved so much. It was so soon after my move all the side were still my ex-team mates and friends. It was terrible for me.
"Stories came out after that we'd lost because we'd been on the booze the night before. I wish we could have used that excuse!
"That was absolutely disrespectful to QPR. There were no excuses. We didn't perform.
"Obviously United and Rangers were in the same division then but I still think if United are not tuned in fully this evening then QPR are capable of an upset again.
"They beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park in the last round and are more than capable of doing it again.
"They are a decent championship side who haven't really got going yet but that Villa result proves what they can really do. I know it is a cliché but you can imagine their manager Gareth Ainsworth saying that doing well at Old Trafford could kickstart their challenge. That's what they will be looking for."
Talent
After last season's shock home League Cup KO against Coventry for the Reds' kids Sir Alex Ferguson added an experienced spine to the XI who beat Middlesbrough in round three in September.
Once again the United manager is expected to add some senior names to his line up to supplement the emerging talents, while Rafael is likely to be given a place following his impressive display against Arsenal.
"United do have some good young players coming through, but it is all about how those players approach matches like this," Paul added. "When you get your chance obviously you want to show everyone what you are capable of.
"The trouble is you can ruin it for yourself going into a game obsessed about wanting to prove a point. It is easy for me to say it now I have had years in the game.
"But it is difficult to think that way when you are a teenager and want to impress Fergie.
"The best thing is to do what you are good at and don't do anymore. When you are desperate to impress there is a danger you start to do things that are not natural to you.
"That is possibly what happened against Coventry last year. There were so many kids wanting to make a point.
"It is all so different from reserve matches. That doesn't prepare you for a championship side going full throttle.
"Bad players become average and average players become good players when they play against United.
"It is something everyone has to get used to at Old Trafford."

If we DO win tonight, do you think Alex Ferguson will be magnanimous about our victory - or will he kvetch: About the ref, about our players; about the weather; about his reserves; about the alignment of the stars
