In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
so far so goodLet's smash them now, extra incentive to close the gap.
Big incentive now to win tomorrow with the chavs losing.
I'd say 3-1 to us, hopefully Rooney can get one to get his confidence going and hopefully Berbatov to get on the scoresheet and keep up his excellent start to the season.

does anyone have a streaming link to the game?
going to visit my folks and won't be able to get it on tv.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
You won't get a stream until the game starts.
I just hope we dont take our eye off the ball with Valencia in midweek, its the sort of thing fergies done before, and were in no position to drop points, given the Chelsea result anything other than 3 points will be a massive blow.
I can see both Scholes and Giggs being 'rested' for the Valencia game.

yeah but it isn't showing up on any of the schedules of the sites.
all other games are on there, even ones after ours starts.
i guess i can try ustream just before the game starts but usually there are better links than that.
Hope Fergie doesn't get complacent with the lineup tomorrow. Nothing but a win will do to put the pressure right back on the chavs.
Hopefully we can take full advantage of today's results tomorrow...
Shit got real. Massive game now.
Right, no excuses, no feck ups and no taking this for granted with a lazy team selection sighting midweek as an excuse, with todays results we've been gifted yes gifted an excellent chance especially when you consider Chelsea and Arsenal face each other next week, we could conceivably go top this time next week if we do things properly, right now i couldn't give a shit about Europe or Valencia, get the job done tomorrow first and foremost please.

Rooney on the.... Right?
I wouldnt have a problem with those 11 players but not lined up like that.
Rooney and Berbatov up top. Park left. Nani right.
Absolutely spot on. Couldn't give two shits about the CL midweek, tomorrow is all I'm thinking about right now.

Rafael------Rio-------Vidic--------Evra

Subs: PIG, O'Shea, Evans, Anderson, Park, Owen, Hernandez.
Thing is, if they play to reputation, Bolton will pack the midfield and fight like crazy, I think we would do better winning the midfield first and then have pace on the away. With the form he's in, Berbatov will bang home the chances that come his way. I think he will score at least 2 more tomorrow.
Absolutely!
Why would you stick Nani out on the left? He should definitely play right wing all the time now that Valencia is out for so long. There's no point playing both Nani and Rooney in positions they're not as comfy in when there's absolutely no reason to do so..
All of a sudden, that looks like a very strong bench! We have good depth to our squad.
still had no luck with a stream.
anyone care to pm me one please?
anyone care to pm me one please?
Exactly the team id pick to a man, but i have a feeling we'll see the likes of Park and O'Shea in the mix.
This game is tomorrow mate.

suddenly this game looks like a title decider...welll not quite but you no what i mean right
Wouldn't be the first time he's been benched, Rooney isn't a player who needs an arm he needs a kick up the arse.
hear hear
i know now.
doh!
just realised when i posted it.
could have sworn i saw it advertised for 5:30 ko on espn.
oh well panic over!!
I can see Giggs, Scholes, Rio, and Rooney being saved for Valencia midweek. Maybe a good match to toss Anderson out?

We do that we'll lose plain and simple, Bolton are no mugs especially at home, theyll be pumped and it will be tough, thats exactly the sort of team i fear most, id like to think the management wouldn't be as complacent.
I think it's a fantastic prediction, and an excellent team. Gibson will offer a huge threat on the Bolton goal, Owen is coming off a very handy, goalscoring performance and Park will offer his usual workrate. On the flipside, Scholes and Giggs just can't play as frequently as 2 games a week and Rooney is out of form. It's a very likely team IMO. If you swap Rooney for Owen I'd say that's the most likely lineup.
I don't and if you genuinely do then i wonder what you'd call the Barcelona's of this world, your very easily satisfied if you believe that side is 'excellent' its far from it in truth......if i were Owen Coyle and 'that' lined up against me tomorrow id be thrilled frankly, its an average team and would be a ridiculous team to send out especially on the back of todays results, it reeks of complacency and frankly if we select the above side then we deserve to lose.
As i said, id like to think the management aren't as arrogant/complacent as that, i couldn't give a stuff about the Valencia game right now, Bolton is a must win and that team wont get it done.
Ferdinand needs games, there's no reason to drop him for this at all. He's not played in the PL this season so there's no need to 'save'.
Can't see both Scholes and Giggs starting. The latter will I think and Park will play Wednesday for his defensive capabilities. Swap Gibson with Scholes, Owen with Rooney and Evans with Ferdinand and I think that's how we'll go.
One of the world's most in form strikers, the world's best centre half, the right winger, goalkeeper and left back amongst the very best in their positions, with some excellent, hard working support players and real strength off the bench.
Yeah, really average.
Get some perspective mate, that side is better than the first XI of the majority of this league and is more than capable of beating Bolton.
Gibson in a midfield 2 is suicide against even competent opposition at the moment, Christ scunthorpe overran our midfield the other night and he was dreadful, i dont care how hard or how often he kicks the ball from range his general midfield play is toilet no way should he be anywhere near the starting line up tomorrow, Evans has looked a nervous wreck all season and hardly inspires confidence why when Rios now needing games to we not play him? O'Sheas had a mare so far this season and right back continues to be a clear and obvious weak line in the team, Fletchers a tad below his best and hence partnering a donkey beside him would only enhance the situation, Park is impotent as an attacking outlet but acceptable if we've a Scholes or someone creative centrally to make it less of an issue, a Park/Fletcher/Gibson 3 of 4 in midfield is not the sort to inspire confidence in my opinion as an attacking unit and Bolton would love it if we set up like that.
Look, i just don't agree with the notion of 'resting' half our best players for a must win game looking ahead to some run of the mill European group stage fixture, worry about Valencia at 3pm tomorrow not before hand, besides half the players your advocating 'resting' havnt kicked a ball in a week, it would be different had we come off the back of a full team playing this past midweek.
I'm more nervous about this game than last weeks, I agree with Allforone, lets just put our best team out and make sure we get the 3 points in the bag, the Valencia game isn't that important and I doubt Scholesy will fall apart if he has to play both.
