West Ham do not take FA Cup serious with that lineup.
I think they know they missed their chance to knock us out, now they are happy to bend over and worry about the league.
Ando is playing, not Scholes and Smalling is playing instead of Rio.
with United's line up and the team West Ham are putting out, the game is there for the taking and with style hopefully.
True. Big Sam hinted yesterday that he would give the most important players a rest as the QPR game on saturday was more important.
Harsh thing to say - when we drop 10 players to freshen up the team - thats ok. When Hammers do the same - they are not taking it seriously ? They have a lot of players who have played a lot of matches - Collins got injured. Joe Cole has hardly played a match all season. They need to rest players as well
Is that the best bench we've ever had?
The difference is we bring in quality players, and they bring in some pure mediocrity.
And it's fine for successful teams who play loads of games to rest and rotate, but when sh!Thouse teams like West Ham, who only have mid table obscurity to live up to start pissing about with cup line ups you really have to ask questions.
You put out a team that you think is good enough to win and we have done that. I doubt West Ham do think that when they choose Spence over Demel and playing O'Neil over Noble and Vaz Te over Nolan.
Has to be.
One hell of a back up gang there.
Rooney, Anderson and Nani being back will spice this game up a treat.
How is it harsh? It's realistic, West Ham don't have the squad to be able to rotate like we can. They know beating us away from home with the injuries you just mentioned is basically mission impossible, nothing wrong with them concentrating on just getting this one over with.
The only players that are inconsistent with people we could normally see starting in the league is Buttner. The rest could/have started in quite a few games. The only thing we likely wouldn't do is pair Giggs with Anderson and Jones and Smalling.
Enough about West Ham though, I rather face that team than their strongest eleven, it's Big Sam's loss.
Did someone from Aqua die?
Sadly not.
No build up on ITV?! feck off Coronation Street
I turned over for the same, and quickly turn that shit off.
Giggs will play the Carrick role.
Look at that bench... Fergie isn't messing around.
You want to listen to more of Adrian Chiles, Gareth Southgate and/or Andy Townsend?
Maybe could have put one/2 of the U21's on the bench. But decent team overall.
Worried about Jones in defence and a midfield of Giggs - Ando though.

If anyone could PM me a good stream I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not in the UK.
I think the pitch could be a factor tonight, it is not in very good condition.
EDIT just seen it on TV and it looks OK

Keano's beard is class
Would have liked to see Carrick not included at all, with a youth player on the bench. If we need a CM we could have brought Scholes on. Great lineup though, can't wait to see Nani back in action!
ITV's show has been on 2 minutes, get ready for adverts.
Well it does not look the most balanced of partnership. I said this when we went with Giggs and Anderson in the one away CL game. Out of all the potential combos it's about one of the least likely on paper. Hopefully home advantage and the onset of attacking talent will be enough. I'd have had Giggs on the wing and someone more defensive other than Carrick with Anderson.
That is a shocking beard Keano
Please PM me a stream.
OH FFS no matter what keeper we put in , ITV will moan about it.
