I'll do well to get to see this one in piece. I'm very confident of United though.
Does this tie use the away goals rule?
Need a strong team. feck playing the youths, the Carling Cup is our best chance of silverware.

0-2 United.
don't play the kids please,I cannot tolerate another loss 
We need a reaction and fast. Carrick and Fletcher must play in midfield and there must be plenty of strength in depth. Although its over 2 legs its important we get off to a good start.
We are out of the FA Cup now and the Carling Cup has just become a much higher priority. At this stage of the competition we simply cannot let such an opportunity slip away.

After that display today we need to field our strongest team. No fkn around. Let's get to Wembley one way or the other.
Not a hope in hell...Fergie after todays match "most of the players today wont play on wednesday" so you can rule the front 2 out for starters...Vidic seems to have gone AWOL and Giggs is a shoe in for the weekend and wont play twice in 3 days so that rules him out.
Itll be a mixture of youth/reserves and the odd first teamer.
Not sure, I think he will be. The reason I put Diouf on the bench is because he'll offer something different and he's got a fantastic jump on him. When was the last time we had somebody threatening in the area, getting up and winning balls in the air and getting his head onto things? He'll be the type of player who can do that, his leap is great. Play the strongest side possible, the best way to get this out the system is by beating Shitty on Wednesday.
awol??
Fergie was asked after the match about what happened to Vidic an hour before kick off...he replied after a deep sigh "i honestly couldnt tell you, i couldnt tell you at all"...now that sounds very concerning.

Did i say that? no thats right i didnt...so shut up...
What i actually meant by concerning is if it were an injury why not say so? something appears to have happened that even our manager dosnt know the reason behind...Personal issues maybe? serious injury? dont know but its unlike fergie to say something like that....he appeared totaly clueless as to why Vidic pulled out of the match.
Strongest team please.

Didn't you say he'd gone Awol?
Reading what Fergie said, I'd be inclined to think that Vidic pulled up with something and Fergie, having had enough of injuries, replied with a fed up remark. You're making ridiculous remarks about Vidic going awol or something like that.
Well he has gone awol...hes pulled out of a game less than an hour before kick off and no one not even our own manager knows why....id be inclined to think it was either a personal family issue or injury related off course.....i wasnt trying to imply he was leaving or anything ridiculous like that but ive never heard fergie say such things about a player before....all seems very odd dosnt it? surely fergie could have just said he injured himself in the warm up?
Any news on VDS?

I doubt SAF will play that side though, hence 2-0 to City as they will have the strongest side available and I can just see Tevez scoring.

Apparently Mike Phelan has said Vidic couldnt play becasue he felt something not right in his body..........Paella?
Taken from the official website:
Named on the teamsheet as a starter, the Serbian was subsequently not on the pitch when the sides kicked off, after reporting a problem during the warm-up.
When Fergie replied 'I couldn't tell you', it comes across as a very fed up remark towards the injuries we've had lately. It seems Vidic had a problem during the warm up and was replaced in the squad.
I really want to smash these small time cnuts into next week, no mercy, no mercy at all.
Thats good news then....if Fergie had just said he picked up something in the warm up then there wouldnt have been any confusion anyway...still alls good
Hope its nothing serious.

His heart was somewhere else. 789 nautical miles slightly south west.

There was no confusion with me, I had an idea what it was and it's right. To be kneejerk saying he's gone Awol is just a tad OTT
