Clocks out - 40mins to kick off.
Rooney starts
Trouble is Bayern will be pretty hard on him irrespective of his fitness. Watch for some early hard tackles on him.
We must win this one, gung-ho from start til finish !
Apparently he trained yesterday after the cameras had gone...
Alex you massive blagger.
Sir Alex you fecking legend.
No way could they have predicted it. Perhaps on the bench but that is a massive surprise. I hope it works.
Tonight is just one game but it could also be our last in the UCL this season, and winning the title will have to rely on others so this game becomes bigger for us to win. I cant help but think that SAF might be risking Rooney OFC i hope i am wrong.
Butt ~ Lahm ~ Van Buyten ~ Demichelis ~ Badstuber ~ Schweinsteiger ~ Van Bommel ~ Ribery ~ Robben ~ Olic ~ Muller
Actually I was hoping Park would man Mark Ribery today but he isn't even on the bench.
you do have a point.
Pogue pointed out Rooney has to be fully fit , the problem is the ankle ,can it hold up for a tough game and the rest of the season.
I'd be kicking at him ... let his temper get the better of him.
Also - note he is on 2 yellows - a card away from suspension.
This.
He passed a late fitness test and the doctors, let alone Sir Alex, wouldn't start him, if he wasn't fully fit.
After going through the longest of three weeks in my life during the Hargreaves saga, Rooney's apparent three weeks seem to have passed in a couple of days.
COME ON!
I will admit I'm a bit weary over Gibson's selection.. But watch him rocket in a 25yard strike now.
Only time will tell
I'm relaxed.
lets hope not
Well, I don´t think he is good enough. I love young ones coming through our system but Gibbo hasn´t impressed me that much. He might still come good though so I haven´t lost faith just yet ( remember David Platt) Tonight though being a goal down and all I think Berba
or Macheda would´ve been a better choice playing 4-4-2
Pleased to see both Gibson and Rafael in there.
As for Rooney starting - Who Dares Wins
Although i have been saying all week until oh about...6 o'clock, that he shouldn't. lol

biggest match of our season to keep our european dream alive.
pogue he has to be fully fit to lead this formation. Clearly he is fit and ready to go.
I hope we dont all just look at wayne to win this tie the rest of the team still need to show up.
More like this at the mo. . .
Rooney and I wear the same jersey
Well, what would your instructions be to your defenders " OK guys Rooneys playing so be gentle with him!!!!" Like feck they will.
Still would have preferred to go 2 up top.
whats the yellow card status on scholes? combined with the tired legs that scholes appears to be suffering from Im sure that SAF will want to use him in the next round if we get there.
Could be that Gibson plays in the hole behind Rooney, i know thats the best way to utilise his shooting ability - and i really think thats the only reason why hes playing tonight
Spoony, can you call the gods early today ?
lets hope they've got some dignity
He's got to be there
Goddamit I was thinking of posting that lineup yesterday. I'd have looked an evil genius.
Gibson! Wowzer! That wasnt expected, hope he has a blinder!
i think it might be something like that if they crowd rooney gibson will space to get his shot off.
you never know he could do a scholes ala barca tonight.
What a fecking lift this is.
Can only imagine what OT is like, let alone the dressing room.
Let's fecking batter them.
