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.
When SAF thinks a draw is good enough, he tends to adopt a "patient approach" i.e. 4-5-1?
You'd be foolish not to go for it. A 9 pt lead would be almost bomb-proof.
Arse lavish praises on opponents before big games.
soften up the opposition is an old trick.
hasn't the wily fox learned anything yet? *grins
oh my arse, my arse
whatever will be, will be
the result is not for you to see,
oh wanker, wanker

funny ^ that
The cup has been out of town for too long. Silly tricks like that will not wash away the recent years of frustration.

How could dropping 2 pts possibly be a "great" result for us?peterstorey said:
Wayne Rooney is 12/1 to be booked first while the odds of a sending off are 2/1.
I will miss the game because my fecking job.C'mon United
bbc: "Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is pushing for a start but Wayne Rooney and Henrik Larsson look set to lead the line."
Rooney and Larsson up front again? I can handle that if it's true. Saha could could consider himself a bit unfortunate. Don't really care who we play up front myself, I'm confident we'll come out strong.

We will go for the win, we always do. After all with yesterdays result we have nothing to lose. Arsenal however need to win otherwise 3rd place is looking more & more unlikely.
I think we will go for the win we've nothing to lose. Playing for a draw to is too risky and we will be more likely get beaten. We never get a good result playing cautiously!
Do you think we will play 4-5-1 or 4-4-2? Last match against Arsenal at OT, we played 442 and they played 451 and Arsenal hade the midfield totally.
Difference between 6 or 7 isn't huge. 9, mind you, is. We'll obviously be going for the win, though I don't expect it to be gung ho.
Here we go again.....
This is a great opportunity that has been presented to us. We have the chance to put some daylight between us and Chelski again. This time we must not fail. This time we must take our chances. Nothing but a win will be acceptable!

Not being funny or anything but I thought we played 5 in midfield against Arsenal.With Carrick Scholes and O'Shea.
It is these kind of games Larsson wants to play, and there's no doubt in my mind he'll put on one hell of a performance. Villa is just a day at work for him, and that also goes for many other players in our squad such as Rooney, Giggs, Rio, Gary and Scholes. They know exactly what this game will be like. Though I believe they'd put even more effort into it if Chelsea would have won their game yesterday.

Carrick didn't start.
Woodzy said:
Did Scholes even play against Arsenal at home?
Don't Kill Bill said:
we didn't..
We played Scholes-OShea central, Carrick on the bench with Rooney and Saha upfront.

United unchanged apart from Giggs instead of Park.
Arsenal have Adebayor up front with Henry.

I wish I could be as optimistic as others, but whenever United is involved i'm rather supersticious... or so
Why are neither Park or Solskjaer on the bench?

great line up Come on, let´s go, I am as feck

This team means we're not going to play for a safe draw. Fergie wants to do this properly. Just hope Evra won't be caught off guard so Vidic have to be called out to the wing.
