Valencia-Carrick-Fletch-Nani
------Rooney-Berbasex-------

1-0 United Rooney to score
 
Cracking OP as usual Bahama.

I imagine that Park and O'Shea will both start, at LW and RB respectively, due to the quality of opposition. Plus Berbatov for Owen. Other than that, same team that started tonight. Would be nice to see Vidic at some point.

-----------Foster
-O'Shea--Rio-Evans/Vida--Evra
-Valencia-Carrick-Fletch--Park
------Rooney--Berbatov
 
Team should be...

GK: Foster

RB: O'Shea
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Evans
LB: Evra

RM: Nani
CM: Scholes
CM: Giggs
LM: Park

CF: Rooney
CF: Berbatov

We've never won at the new Wembley only on pens so I'll go 1-1 losing 5-4 on pens. Everyone will claim we're doomed before the first real game of the season and we'll prove them all wrong come May :devil:
 
------------ Foster ------
---O'shea - Rio - Evans - Evra
Valencia - Fletcher - Carrick - Nani
----------- Rooney -----------
------------ Owen -----------


this please. Berbatov can come on in place of either of the front two.


charlenefan - didnt you get the memo? Giggs and Scholes as a midfield combo just plain doesnt work.
 
I like how Bahama lays out the thread. Lots of information and a damn site better than many others poster's attempts I've seen on here over the years. The job should be left for him to do in my opinion
 
this is gonna be the first sky sports united game ive missed in years now i no longer have sky sports :(
 
Anybody got their tickets yet / know where they are actually sitting / etc ?
 
Love it, BahamaRed!

Foster

O'Shea
Rio
Evans
Evra

Valencia
Fletcher
Carrick
Nani

Rooney
Berbatov

Subs: Kuszy, Fabio, Evans, Giggs, Scholes, Owen, Park.


0-0, we'll win from the spot kicks. Or something.
 
It's on both FSC AND Setanta in the US. Double checked both their listings. Most unusual.
It's also listed as being on Setanta Sports 1 UK but can't confirm that. I thought they were down?
 
Awful record at the new Wembley. We've won more trophies there (3) than goals we've scored (1)!!

Foster - though PIG has given SAF a selection problem.

Sheasy
Rio
Evans - Vida is going to be short of sharpness come the opening to the PL.
Evra

Ronal.. I mean Valencia.
Carrick
Fletcher
Nani

Rooney
Berbatov

I actually think Chelsea will win this one, in normal time.
 
good job Bahama Red, keep up the good work.

I'm thinking Chelsea too. :( I've not watched them much this pre-season but the times I did, I thought they looked sharp and up for it.
 
We'll lose on penalties.
 
I didn't see all the pre-season games, but it seems Valencia has nailed down the right wing position with some impressive showings, but what's happening down the left, noone really seems to have made that their own

That's the starting XI I'd go with. You've got Evans in the starting lineup and bench though, unless you're giving Cory his debut ;)

Agreed, that looks like our best starting 11 considering Brown and Vida will be short of fitness. Berbatov could do with starting this game and nailing Chelsea to the wall.

I'm so excited, I haven't been this excited in years not since we won the last Premiership. The buzz of change and with so many youngster knocking on the door it's going to be a brilliant season, with or without trophies. We're starting to see the careers of our future reds and thats always exciting. Mad to think how young they all are.

Nothing at all yet lad, apparently if your tickets havent come in the Friday morning post then get onto the ticket office and they will arrange some kind of on the day pick up.

Cheers. Its weird not having the actual section you are sitting in when you purchase the tickets. For England games at Wembley, It always states it hence gives me a chance to decline if they are too much for too far away, etc.

All I know is im in like row 4 for the £40 allocation <_< I was thinking of not even paying 40 for a hyped friendly, but alas, had the money :(
 
Going last night has got me in the mood for this, and ticket finally here! Block 107 (bottom tier) row 30 looks ok on the seating plan. Looking forward to this.
 
Finally got it. I got block 103, row 4 (for my bro as well)

Strangely enough its near the same seats I had for the Wembley Cup which cost me less than half the money I paid for this.
 
last season i was on the very back row of 523. happy to be a little closer this time round. so are my legs.

That'd be a ...................no, sorry. In fact if someone beats me to a matchday thread it will be my last. :p Too much time involved to do them properly.
 
Scholes instead of carrick... actually, maybe evans needs more movement.

nah, giggs and fletcher then, carricks out of form currently
