Midweek Review (30 Dec 2008)


Manchester United vs Middlesbrough



"Points win championship, not goals."
-Gary, 30 Dec 2008

At this rate Man Utd is playing, we will be seeing the same old Chelsea playing style under Mourinho era. 1-0 all the way and still win championship. Having say that, points win championship, not goals. Last season seem to be the exception where Man Utd score too many goals.

Now at home to Middlesbrough for this match, Middlesbrough is a little too down to the table where they are going to fight relegation with 9 other clubs including Tottenham, Manchester City and Newcastle United, where 3 points seperated them. Out of sudden, English Premier League seem to be the hardest league to play as well.

We are not affected by the festive fixtures as we have 3 days of rest compared to Tottenham. Even the FA Cup tie against Southampton is on the following Sunday!!

Man Utd Team News: Ben Foster, Wes Brown, Owen Hargreaves are out. Patrice Evra is serving 2nd suspension.

Middlesbrough Team News: Didier Digard, Gary O'Neil, Justin Hoyte, Rhys Williams are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 1.75 ball handicap. Go for the win.
