Weekend Review - 26 Nov 2011

Manchester United vs Newcastle United

We are unable to top our Champions League group as Benfica had a better head to head record against us. And we have to avoid a defeat against Basel in order to qualify for the knockout rounds. Our Champions League route to Munich is a tough one with the prospect of facing Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and wait for this, APOEL Nicosia.

Newcastle is facing both Manchester teams within a week and is a test to see where they really stand. Are they in for the real thing or just pretend to stay for awhile and go for the long fall down?

Man Utd seem to be facing a crisis at the moment. No strikers to bang in the goals as Wayne Rooney for some unknown reason, likes playing in the midfield now. And Fergie refuses to put Berbatov just because he cant score at the same rate as Javier Hernandez.

Man Utd is giving 1.25 handicap. Even a newbie could also tell you that Man Utd cant clear the handicap at the rate of goals they are scoring.
