This is Wayne fecking Rooney, I'm sorry but you don't bench him for a game of this magnitude.
Giggs is shading form wise for me, I'm also a romanticist.
hey..in fergie we trust....not sure why tonight...but we have to
Is Giggsy captain at least?
Nah don't think Giggs could play wing for this game, he's shown he's still got great energy but I don't think he's up for the amount of tracking the wingers will have to do.
I wish he had picked me to start this game, that would really have fecked up the mind games...
When is ITV starting? They show Emmerdale now?
Jesus Christ. What is the meaning of this?! I demand answers!
Oh for feck sake. Why not play him if fit? Also the Evans one baffles me a bit, he's been on great form
But that's not saying much with Valencia being absolute pants and Young just back from injury.
7.30
Itv is not in the match day squad.
20/1 ODDS on Giggs to be first gs
What makes this all so funny is how much criticism Rooney got after the 1st leg and now the fecking world's ended because he hasn't started tonight.
You know what would have been hilarious?
Jones starting

Shouldnt be the case for such a game mate.
We'l know after the game, but i'd be very surprised if its not a minor injury. I refuse to believe Rooney would be dropped.
This is incredibly bizarre.
First thought was, he must be injured, have a niggle.
Then saw he's on the bench.
Second thought, was that he must be going with Kagawa in the centre instead.
Also wrong.
With all the talk from Fergie of how quality Kagawa will be next year, this is starting to feel a bit like Rooney could well be sold in the summer now.
Berbatov got left out of the squad for that Barcelona final, now Rooney left out of this. Bizarre.
or genius.. But at 7pm feels bizarre.

Interesting line up.......that is all.
Ridiculous to drop Rooney. There is no argument against that. The 11 that have been picked, if they all play well, can win but there is no question our task has become more difficult by a ridiculous and bloody minded decision.
Absolutely bizarre line up this. Absolutely bizarre.
feck, i can imagine Mourinho seeing the line ups and thinkin "what the feck am i supposed to make of this?"
No one has balls as big as Fergie.

Do you think SAF handed in the team lineup along with a BOOM.gif?
Just came on in the pub, it's no corrie but should take my mind off things for half hour.
Exactly.
Glad about that, saf obviously prefers to soak up pressure and counter in this match.
Rooney doesn't have the legs for a wing job, nani and welbeck much more suited.
If we are struggling bring on Rooney and 4-4-2.

He will be loving it. He only ever appears at moments such as this.
Some of the Madrid players think the jersey might hinder them?
Some of the Madrid players are also retarded.

It's like Mou putting Ronnie on the bench to throw us a doozie.
More like Higuain. We have our Ronaldo and its RVP
To be fair, if this match plays out like the first leg then it makes more sense to have Rooney come on fresh in his best position later on when the game opens up rather than 'doing a job' on the wing and running himself into the ground.
probably quite small now ....you know...coz of his age.
You had a point until you suggested Nani would do a better job of soaking presser than Rooney.
Will be interesting to see if Giggs starts behind VP with Welbeck on the left or the other way round.
Welbeck did a good job of stopping Alonso when he moved in behind VP in the first leg.

I fully expected Giggs to start. Had him in my line-up on this thread and the game.
Rooney not starting is my concern.
Its the most fun I have ever had with a line up before a game before!
Fair enough but what has Nani done to deserve a starting place? A good game against Reading and Qpr. Not exactly miles ahead of Rooney. But I suppose he is a real winger so that maybe why.
The adverts run for 15 minutes before kick off.
