Manchester United vs. Fulham FC

Nice, you have a girlfriend.

I hope we play our strongest team:

-------------DDG
Rafael----Evans--Rio----Evra
Valencia-Carrick-Scholes-Young/Nani
-----Welbeck-Rooney
 
Dunno what to do about this match, do I...

A) Miss it and have to just check the result, in order to keep the plans I've made with my GF?

or

B) Tell he I can't see her because I wanna watch the football, and piss her off further having already cancelled plans today?

Monday night football is shit. feck you SKY.

If you made plans you should honor them. You should have had the foresight of not scheduling anything when Man Utd are playing.
 
I'm sure we will put out the strongest team available. We are playing one game per week now, no reason to rest any players. Looking forward to Antonio's raping on the right against whoever's Fulham leftback :drool:
 
Now that City have drawn their game, it will a huge boost to our morale if we could win and go three points clear at the top. In the meanwhile, work on our GD, which is down to 4 by the way.

Riise!
 
pogba smalling cleverly jones and fabio all played for the reserves yesterday agaisnt villa
 
I'm feeling positive about this match, I think we'll bag a few goals and maybe have the chance to give Pogba a run out.
 
Just realised that all the games will be played 1 hour earlier because of DST :drool:
Everyone in asia should now tune in 1 hour earlier.
 
Bring on tomorrow! Somehow I've set my mind to that we'll win 4-0, can't think of any other result. It will be 4-0. Will throw a few quid on it.

Sean's team
Starting XI

366534_Manchester_United.jpg

Bench: Amos, Smalling, Fabio, Pogba, Cleverley, Giggs, Chicharito
Not in the squad: Berbatov, Park, Jones, Fryers, W.Keane
Out: Vidic, Nani, Fletcher, Anderson, Owen, Lindegaard

Some words to the team-selection
Actually i would say "Never change a winning team" and Chicharito doesn't deserved to be dropped but i still make the change Young for Chicharito, i don't like Welbeck on the wing and i think Young will be vital for us in that game.

How many hours left for the match lads?
10 1/2 hours
 
I am expecting something like this:

------------ De Gea ------------
Rafael --- Evans ----- Rio --- Evra
------- Cleverley -- Carrick ------
Valencia ----- Rooney ----- Welbeck
----------- Hernandez ------------


If Nani is fit, play him instead of hernandez, and play welbeck as a striker.

I'm expecting another good performance.
 
------------ De Gea ------------
Rafael --- Evans ----- Rio --- Evra
------- Scholes -- Carrick ------
Valencia ----------------- Young
------- Rooney -- Welbeck -------

Bench: Amos, Smalling, Fabio, Giggs, Park, Pogba, Hernandez

Only "worry" is how we deal with Dempsey and Progrebnyak.
 
I'm fairly certain Fergie said Nani will start training today. He might be fit but I doubt he'll be thrown in after only a days worth of training. We're not short on wingers anyway.
 
3 - 0 I reckon.
 
------------ De Gea ------------
Rafael --- Evans ----- Rio --- Evra
------- Scholes -- Carrick ------
Valencia ----------------- Young
------- Rooney -- Welbeck -------

Bench: Amos, Smalling, Fabio, Giggs, Park, Pogba, Hernandez

Only "worry" is how we deal with Dempsey and Progrebnyak.

That team is spot on for me. The bench is getting interesting these days as we start to get players back; for instance you've left Jones and Cleverley out altogether, and there will be even more competition when Nani and Anderson return.

Think that may be because they both played for the reserves against Villa last night. Smalling and Fabio too.
 
Can't remember last time I was this excited. Been walking around humming U-N-I... T-E-D all day :lol:

Manchester-United-v-Fulha-001.jpg

Scholes has the 22 shirt now, not 18, they maded an error!
 
When was the last time we were on Monday night?

Could be a good pre match build up with G Nev.
 
I hope we stick with the 4-2-3-1 we've been playing in recent games with Welbeck, Rooney & Hernandez all starting.
 
What I'm hoping to see:

De Gea

Rafael - Rio - Evans - Evra

Carrick - Scholes/Cleverley

Valencia - Rooney - Young

Welbeck​
