West Ham vs. Manchester United

I must say i'm a bit pissed off with that team, but keep the faith, lets hope the Reebok nightmare wont be repeated.
 
Somebody posted yesterday that they saw the team at the airport but they did not see Rooney. I wondered if it was a WUM but obviously Fergie wanted to rest him completely and not even make him travel.

I bet Ronaldo will be rested for the Birmingham game and that is why Fergie wants Rooney 100%for that game. I think he's taking too big a risk and doing a Benitez.

We still got anderson on the bench and nani as well. So no reason to fear a benitez.
 
Hmmm...Fletcher will need to step up to be honest...would have liked Anderson to play.

No stress though, we'll win this

Tevez, Ronaldo and Saha to cause mayhem..Anton will be well and truely merked by the end of it
 
harsh on Nani, Noodles.

we should be fine. a solid, if uncreative midfield two, but a very dangerous front four.

We're less likely to be fine than if we just played our best team. And we haven't been "fine" in any game this season where Rooney hasn't played, to my knowledge.

What's wrong with playing Anderson? He wasn't even in the squad for Sunderland. Why?

What's wrong with putting Rooney, Carrick, Park etc on the bench, instead of two defenders who play the exact same positions?

Nani's not much use as a sub
 
Bit of a strange lineup. I was sure we'd go for our best lineup in this game and rest players on Tuesday.
 
Also, who writes that crap on the BBC website when you go onto Premier League live.

Is he/she meant to be funny or something? They're MUPPETS.
 
Why is Rooney not even on the bench ? The last time Fergie made a poor decision to rest Ronaldo against Bolton, we dropped points.

Ronnie had a knock that game. This time Ronaldo is playing. What is strange is we have Fletch and Hargreaves on midfield and no one of them is a playmaker. Lets see how we start the game.
 
I warn you all since my daughter was born West Ham havent lost, she is some sort of good luck omen!

If we lose today her and the missus can pack their bags!
 
I just put my Saha shirt back on. I wore it Wednesday for the first time in ages and he seemed to do well.
 
Ashton on the bench suprises me. He could of given Vidic a hard game.
 
Well, that's me gone for two hours...enjoy the game lads.

Even if we lose you know CH and I will be back and can take it.

COME ON YOU IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We always push our luck at this time of year.

It was different last season; we had Wigan and Reading at home, and we still only just got away with it.

This is West Ham away, traditionally one of the fixtures we struggle with

I'll do the same with my Tevez one, between us, we'll ensure victory for the team.

Come on UNITED!!!

I do have a bad feeling about today. But maybe that was the curry I had last night.
 
A packed midfield battle needed Anderson to make things work. Parker is going to have a field day for West Ham.
 
Exactly...yesterday he says everyone but VDS is fit. Rooney and Carrick then catch a mysterious flu the same night and are likely to make a miraculous recovery by the next game.

He's rested them. Just like he rested Ronaldo against Bolton. "He had a knock" my arse.

i can't pretend to understand this teamsheet, but i'm also not pressing the panic button prematurely.

Pique can only cover the CB position effectively; he's pretty average at RB. O'Shea can cover that pretty well, as well as LB.

we might struggle to create something centrally, but then we have Anderson and Nani (who could come in for Fletcher, and shift Giggs centrally).

why Park isn't there is a mystery to me. maybe coming back from injury they don't want him to strain something.
