I don't think I've been this tensed for any United match in years.
I don't think i can bear to watch this game on the telly So i'll probably use the matchday thread to know what's going on instead
So i'll probably use the matchday thread to know what's going on insteadThis will beat Chelsea at home last season in being nervous..damn.
I'm even feeling the nerves now, more than the days leading to our 2 previous CL finals
8 days...
Defo. At least last year we also got an early goal and were at home. This is against frickin City. This is going to be horrible, exciting, sickly, brilliant all at the same time. All emotions you can run through all wrapped up into one.
The wait is annoying.
Previous years we at least had something like a CL game to take us through the midweek. This year its just a 8 day wait.
Boy am I chuffed, thought I was on a film shoot next monday night, found out its tuesday instead.
For fcuks sake don't pick Rafael, he gave Everton 3 bloody goals, we don't need him doing that against Shitty.

His crosses have been shite for ages too.
So we should feck up our defense for the most important game of the season?
I'm not watching it. What I can't see won't hurt me.
I've been reading a couple of places that Yaya is suspended for this match with 5 yellows? Is that true?
I had no nerves at all for the two CL finals. The last time I was this nervous was before the Wigan title decider in 2008.
Ah well, whatever happens we're still a proper club. Anything they 'achieve' is essentially worthless.
Biggest load of shit ever
This. Probably Jones or Smalling for Rafael because of height...although Jones was pretty wank in the last couple of games he's played for us and Smalling is useless going forward.
Love your optimism
I would start Jones at rightback, he did well there in the FA Cup game back then, just not at midfield please. The rest of the team picks itself with Rooney dropping deep to provide cover for Carrick and Scholes
I can't believe people are picking Scholes and Giggs (with Carrick of course) together in the midfield.
And Jones should start only as RB.

Squeaky bum time.

We've never lost to Wigan too, or dropped a point against them for that matter.
451 please and although it's unfortunate for Welbeck he should miss out.
City are absolutely flying at the minute and if we go with our usual 4411 then we'll get beat.

I agree he should have substitute after the 3 goal.

[Dalglish]Some people would say 'there's always a first time'[/Dalglish]
We'll defeat these cnuts. I can see us going for a 4-3-3 in this match.
Who would have thought that real would beat barca @ camp nou ? & barca were the form team going into classico....Just start Smalling or Jones at right back.no more Rafael this season.
2-1 to City.
I keep repeating this but this is a match for old heads. Scholes and Giggs know what it takes to grind out premier leagues. This experience is totally new to the likes of Cleverley and Jones. Scholes and Giggs will both play, I'll put my house on it!
3-0 city.
City will win it. Tevez goal.

Giggs experience was very helpful at Wigan.
This experience thing is vastly overrated. Of course it helps but it's not like Giggs is going to know every single step of City's players because he's played in the league for 20 years. Younger players desire and hunger could also be looked at as a huge advantage.
The thought of that turns me sick, especially if it was in stoppage time...
this fixture means too much to us so i don't see a loss vs City.
Yes, I agree. I think we will be well up for this, I don't see us losing.
I'm just second guessing the manager. The alternatives are Cleverley or Jones if we go an extra man in midfield. I really can't see him throwing either into a game of this magnitude. Experience is vital at this stage of the season, its a match made for Giggs.
