Milan

Fans always fant to see in their English club some Englishmen - if you are not an Arsenal fan, that is, or used to be different. I also believe that English player means fighter if you see what I mean. Surely there's no way he would come though.

Agreed! Plus he's English and still, still quite young, which sounds incredible. He won't stop running and fighting during the whole game. I'd definitely go for him. Even though he's Shrek, he's the only Man United player I adore. Now I'm waiting for your stick

Sorry CJ, Bos is not included in the squad that travelled. It would be risky to play him on such a pitch.

Ramires is injured (a knock on his ankle) and returns to Cobham for treatment. I'm not surprised any more...

Yossi Benayoun has released the following statement (chelseafc.com)

It showed again how much we miss Lampard, and I am not talking about his box to box game. Essien, playing in Frank's position, is definitely a quality shooter, however just like at Man City he had some opportunities to shoot and did so but never really threatened their goalkeeper. If you give Lampard such positions....

Right, Boz won't be included because of the pitch. According to Carlo, it wouldn't be the best thing for him.

Ivanovic simply cannot find the net since his brace at Anfield (that one against Bolton was just from one half his). His position play in the opponent's box is perfect but that bad luck is already annoying!

as I said, It's Villa Park, fuck that place pathetic performance

FUCK! Today it is one of those days, cannot win.

pathetic efforts

Anelka's awful. I hate we are unable to win when Man United lose points.

thank god again

OMFG again so so close. fuck it

Welcome back Boz!

Fantastic block by Ivan. Ferreira is having a good game as well, so far.

Thank God he missed.

Villa are without Heskey, Albrighton and Luke Young!

our starting line-up asi Carlo announced with Turnbull, Bruma, Bosingwa, Zhirkov, McEachran, Mellis, Borini on the bench

United lost two points today (thanks Roberto!!), so now it would be even more stunning to win at Villa Park. Come on boys!

skysports.com It is not so convincing.

If we win this, it will be a big, big result for us. But it's Villa Park lol. The starting line-up, even without all those players, should be capable of winning there though.

With the way we signed him, I mean the problems with FIFA and the transfer ban, which was eventually lifted though, and with Ancelotti praising him so much, I'd be really shocked if Chelsea FC let him go.

John Obi Mikel was the one who simply stood out. Therefore him.

Rio Ferdinand -
