Won't someone pllllleeease think of the children.
Yeah. Seriously pissing me off.
Not really a theory hence the quotation marks. But there was a thread title loosely based on a newspaper article.
Except for Evans the non performers in the first leg have been dumped.
Big game for Nani.
Probably the biggest game of Cleverley's career so far too. He is very important today.

Wellbeck and Rafael on Ronaldo.
Giggs shackles Alonso
Cleverley hassles Ozil
Nani gets a bit of freedom on the left
We'll expect a lot from Van Persie - hold-up play, workrate and hopefully a goal or two.

I can just see this going horribly, then we bring Rooney on and push to get back in it but run out of time, leaving us wondering why he wasn't started. I feel I should start planning my comfort wank for tonight.
You know shits about to happen when that CL tune starts playing!
Here we go lads!

Oh shit 
I hate the anticipation!
I've been looking forward to this all day, and now I want it to be over already!

Vidic is much better than Evans when we have our backs against the wall, and he organises better than anyone in our team.
Nah, that's not how it works.
If it comes off great and SAF should rightly take all the credit and leave us happily eating humble pie.
If it doesn't then people will ask wtf was he thinking, hampering us before a ball was even kicked.
feck off Adrian.
Because he suffered an injury, minor as it is, and Rooney is more established player for us and has started in every big game in CL, can't remember the last time he missed a big game in the CL. Not to mention he has better work rate and can provide assistance to the midfield if needed.
It's mind boggling really.
It's very small time IMO. We're too big for that shit.
Piss off ITV, you aren't Sky Sports
Great, stream switched from MUTV to ITV's bizarre balance beam promo video.
Who shackles di maria then? Guy's got 4 assists in this CL already
I have no doubt starting Vidic is the correct decision. We need the aerial presence against Ronaldo.
Latin American announcers saying Coleen has already tweeted her outrage.
Hush darling, it's not the moment.

Giggs with a worldy. Ronaldo nullified. Phelan the quiet hero. You heard it here first.
Welbeck instead of Rooney to hassle Alonso apparently.
Fergie's nose is looking red and veiny as feck. Is that a good sign?
Ferguson - "Wayne probably needs a game or two to be honest with you, he'll probably come on and win the game for us!!
Apparently Milner's been sent off too.
He's picked Welbeck over Rooney to try and shackle Alonso. I don't buy it.
Wayne needs a game or two apparently.
Wait... Is this a game?
Wait... Is this a game?
adrian chiles ffs.
Rooney left out for tactical reasons.
Anybody who thinks it's a bad decision is out of they're mind.
don't like the starting 11 - no evans and Rooney.
Sorry but looks like another tactical nightmare by fergie. We will either lose 2-1 or draw 2-2 and go out.

Giggs? I have no problem with the lineup (we need welbeck afterall for his energy and burst), but giggs?
I'd rather Kagawa to start wherever gigg's playing

This is it, see you after the game. I wish you good luck. *No I don't!
Chiles speechless. Useless
Does anyone think this Rooney decision impacts the rest of the team? I'm sure many of them look towards Rooney during matches.
Fair play to ITV, I mean employing a spastic to host their coverage is a brave step.
Shut your hole Roy!
Of course, Rooney left out of the starting eleven and will be used when the game is more open = Rooney leaving
No defenders on the bench?
