Davo seems to expect to be playing - according to TalkSport...
Bolton stiker Kevin Davies admits he'll be aiming to make life tough for Manchester United youngster Phil Jones this weekend.

The Old Trafford outfit travel to the Reebok Stadium on Saturday evening and Davies says he'll be looking to give the defender 'a going over'.

I've been thinking about this too. Do you reckon that Beetroot'll be asking for protection via the media?

I hope so—we're hardly going to out-class them...

KD will be booked if seen within ten paces of David de Gea

John McGinlay floats the idea of dropping KD in his article in the BN saying that he thinks that Man U are more susceptible at the back to pace.

Also puts the counter argument that of course Davies could frighten De Gea. Interesting stuff though.

We'll score.. I can almost guarantee that.. Unfortunately, they'll probably score more

Its all going to be about how we defend against them. We won't manage to "contain them" for 90 minutes, but if as against City when we're under pressure we concede silly goals then we're dead. If we are more robust and make them actually put a move together or score a screamer then we've got a chance as I can see us causing them trouble at the back.

Course a bit of luck helps along the way too.

they didn't prove all THAT susceptible to Arsenal's pace... though - little Theo did score, didn't he?

What pace is that? Other than Walcott?

And Bish I've very kindly asked people not to use THAT word, you persist. How dissapointing! :wink:

you didn't specify the word with an apostrophe "s" on the end - does that upset you too? 8)

I can guarantee after that post, we won't. :evil:
