Champions v. Chelsea - The FA Cup Final

this is a bad omen. please make the badges the same size.

i remember someone doing this before the Boro game.

pride comes before a fall as they say.

I don't believe in omens.
 
..............VDS...............
Brown - Rio - Vidic - Heinze
...Fletcher Carrick Scholes...
Ronaldo....Rooney.....Giggs(c)

Bench: Kuszczak, O'Shea, Smith, Ole, Evra

Heinze is my choice at LB and Brown at RB. Hope for Fletcher, Carrick and Scholes in central of midfield.

I think that'll be the line up though i'd prefer Smith alongside Rooney, as Roon doen't fill me with confidence leading the line by himself

Too true.....amateurs starting this thread is not a good omen. It's already got me thinking about this thread instead of about the game.
Fix it please sultan so I can sleep tonight.

Sultan & I have had a conversation about superstition by PM - he absolutely refuses to countenance any form of superstition I'm afraid.

I say all thread starters should put a smaller badge for the opposition - it's a reflection of our superiority.
 
well its here guys. what a big day for our club. words cannot say how much i am looking forward to this.
wonder which of the lads right at this minute cant sleep
 
Its gonna be a rough nights sleep. i'm so fricking excited its crazy!
i see United lifting the cup after a 2-1 win.
Ronaldo in the first, Carrick in the middle of the second, and Lumpty scoring a long range deflected shot in the added time.

Go UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do realize sultan that if we lose you will be banished to hell with no possibility of parole? This thread is sacred and you're fkn with it. I'm stickin pins into a little doll of you, right now. Be warned.
 
Not overly confident about this game actually. I just feel Chelsea are going to be really really up for this since its the final time they can bring us down a peg. Having said this, unlike some here, I don't think losing would take any gloss off the season. The league is what I wanted this season, above all. Its the main prize and if Chelsea had the choice of losing the FA cup today, but taking the league...then they would take it like a shot.

Still....a another double would be nice lol :smirk:

I agree with this line up.
 
3 hours to go :devil:

I have a feeling we could win this game comfortably. I also have a feeling we'll lose :nervous:

--------------------------------VDS

--Brown------------Rio-------------------Vida-------------Evra

--Ronaldo---------Scholes---------------Carrick----------Giggs

--------------------Smith------------------Roon



----------------------------Cech

--Ferreira--------Essien---------------Terry-------------Bridge

-----------------------Makelele

--SWP------------------------------Lampard-------------J.Cole

---------------------Kalou--------------Drogba
 
According to MUTV lineups are expected at 1400.

Seems that SAF will prefer Wes Brown so he can help Rio and Vidic with Terry and Drogba. Also Fletcher might be playing, which means Rooney will be up front.

As for Chelsea the word is that Bridge will play LB, Kalu will flank Drogba with Joe Cole the other side.

We'll have to wait and see.
 
Likely lineup...

----------- VDS-----------

Brown---Rio---Vida---Heinze

As predicted
 
Line up confirmed

-----------Rooney-------

OFFICIAL
 
Evra, Smith, Ole, Pole and Sir O'shea on subs bench.
 
Heinze over Evra?

Hmm, not too sure about that.

Not getting an attacking vibe here, we're gonna be cautious, a cagey first half at least.
 
Heinze and Brown at fullback. Hmm, Evra might have handled SWP better.

Obi Mikel, SWP and Bridge play for Chelsea.


I don't like our line-up. We may struggle to score with Rooney on his own up front and I can see this going to penalties.
 
I don't like Rooney playing alone upfront. :(

Renties line-up?
