My thought is gibson was only left on because he can score a goal. Otherwise Anderson had the better game of two. Thats not saying much though.

Listed as having a back injury all of a sudden on Physioroom
Here here.
Oh I thought the Foster thing was a back complaint, not the flu.
Wow, 10 pages already and the match hasn't even kicked off yet.
'Kin Clattenburg is the ref. Were up against it tonight lads.
Come on United !!
Come on United !!
I think he was reffering to Amos being on the bench.
Although it turns out I was right about the back thing
I think it's a trend that matchday threads are bigger if we lost the previous game.
Clearly it is the coming of the one, and the fact that we've got built up frustration after midweek being postponed.
Also I made the thread so naturally people want to post in it.
You'd think with the 7 fecking games canceled, they'd give us one with half a clue.
if brum want to win this, they have to play a team full of pace and energy, committed to attack. If they play defensively we'll win.
Rooney as a lone striker is just crazy.
Is Berbatov injured?
yup.
And if one midfielder or striker from our strongest XI doesn't start.
The cnuts all attack Berbatov, but he is injured, in comes Paul fecking Scholes, and these cnuts have the audacity to moan about how weak and uncreative our starting XI is.
cnuts.
Regardless of previous results, I think they're probably a bit longer than normal because everyone has to come in and have their moan about how this team doesn't excite them, Berba's shit, and how they don't see all the talk about Welbeck. It's like the newbs in here...
Did Fergie just pinch that interviewers arse?
I heard he was set to 'ref' the scousers on sunday but seeing as they bottled sorry cancelled their match liverpool decided he should ref us instead...
Good team for me.
Most of the so called 'smaller' teams we faced this season have done exactly that and they have really got at us and with our injury problems at the back a lot of our opponents have worked this to their advantage.
This will be such a satisfying victory.
Worries me more about Rooney being up top on his own.
Who do you see supporting him? Park? Valencia?
Scholes plays alot deeper these days.
Now we know who to blame if we do otherwise
Aye it was awful destroying Portsmouth and West Ham 4-1 and 4-0 with Rooney as lone striker wasn't it!
It'll be a fecking god send. For allt he doom and gloom from folk (including me to be fair) we'd go top.
Birmingham unchanged for the 9th consecutive game. A record in the PL
Meanwhile United play their 100th game without playing the same team twice. Another record.

Fletcher probably/likely or even Carrick but i don't think he relishes in that role.
both teams contained one Ryan giggs supporting him did they not?
I fancy a 2-0 Park and Rooney
Be a tough game though but we will prevail and return to our rightful position

@ Gambit, you will probably pass out for a bit (out of sheer ecstacy of course) if diouf is subbed on.
Meanwhile Leeds couldn't beat Wycombe today
Supporting from a very very deep position. I think that Fletch and Carrick may be able to get forward quite a lot today
Aye he does but he'll help us keep possession and give us that "creativity" that so many people are craving.
Its not ideal but I don't think Owen or Diouf merit a start. And if they did then people would still moan about the selection.
I think Park and Valencia can support Rooney decently, plus Fletcher. Options on the bench too!
Was inevitable, wasnt it?Fergie has been trying this formation for quite a while now. A 4-5-1 when trying to win the midfield battles and when attacking patiently, and 4-3-3 when attacking with intensity and speed. Knowing Fergie, he will make this formation works one day, esp in a very important match. Just wait and see.
You've raised my mood somewhat...
