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.
I'm quite sure we'll wear the blue kit.
i fear the worst then.
Some good memories in the blue kit away to Arsenal.
The game that more or less sealed us the title in 2003.
o'shea also scored in that game.

Nah, you're thinking of the legendary 2-4 victory at Highbury in 2005, when O'Shea lobbed the keeper for our fourth goal. That was black kit, not blue.
The game I'm talking about was the 2-2 in 2003 (Link). Van Nistelrooy and Giggs scored. The point didn't guarantee us the title, but it was a huge blow to Arsenal who really needed to win.
i stand corrected.
though the black kit was better.

This
Same starting line-up as on the first leg, don't let Arsenal settle into their passing patterns, hopefully score a goal early and see the game out.
1-1 would be great.

We don't wear white kit in Champions League away matches this season.
Moreover, even in the first game at Emirates in November United played in blue kit.
Good point.
berbatov to start??!
if they come at us full pelt and he isn't chasing/harrying defenders and working hard i'm gonna be ejected from the pub..
maybe play park left then - tevez MUST start with ronaldo on the right
Did Fergie leave out Keane in 99? Did he leave out Scholes last season against Barca at OT?
Starting XI: Van Der Sar - Rafael, Ferdinand/Evans, Vidic, Evra - Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson - Rooney, Berbatov, Ronaldo
Bench: Foster, Brown/Evans, O`Shea, Scholes, Giggs, Park, Tevez
Bench: Foster, Brown/Evans, O`Shea, Scholes, Giggs, Park, Tevez
Rooney has to start, he's bang in form. We have a better chance of getting to the final with Rooney in the starting XI. I'd much rather get to the final with a chance of Rooney getting a yellow than missing out than not getting there at all because we didn't play Rooney.

He does have a point though. Man United vs. Arsenal used to be a brilliant affair. The Keane - Vieria battles were something special, and there was a real rivalry and animosity between the players, managers and fans.
Blame Arsenal though. They went to shit, making the rivalry meaningless.

Yeah, I agree with him. (And you.) Good to see his prediction favouring us as well.
We didn't get slaughtered. We arguably deserved a draw.
i thought we might have edged it ... good away perormance
Messi will dominate this game.
shitting it.
Anderson to score his first in this game. Make it 2-1 in the last minute.
i take it that you're on a wum these days.
you're still not a patch on instant karma though as he gets on everyone's tits.
This is true. It was a very open game in November, great attacking play from both teams. The scoreline could have easily ended up 6-5 to either side but we definitely deserved something from the match.
I'm starting to brick it thinking about Tuesday night. 90 mins away from the European Cup final once again
we certainly deserved a draw

we are good enough to beat them
we had our wobbly point but we're over it.
I reckon if we get a goal some time in the first half (not to early so we sit back but not that late) then the tie would be over, as good as Asnl might be at home i think the next goal decides the tie.
Hell yeah. That's the team I'd put too. Hope Rio makes it.
Had a dream last night that the score was 5-4 to United at half-time. I woke up before the 2nd half had begun. Weird
Arsenal absents?
Rio is training this morning according to Sky Sports News
But Evra and Brown did not.

I put my money on SAF being defensive for the first part of the game. If United are either put in great pressure and/or concede a goal, Rooney and Giggs to come on. However, I'd like to see Evans and Rafael to play when the goal difference is 2+ on our side.

Ferdinand trained today so he'll be fit.
