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.

Why are they resting them two? Do they have important games coming up?
Do you get the impression that Fergie's a little upset with him?
Ferguson and Allardyce are mates [/RAWK]
Liking the 2 up top especially Macheda.
Not liking lack of Fletcher

Carrick dropped, Fletcher rested?
RAWK and teh media will have a field day now.
Where is Rafael and Carrick? I guess we're going to tell the full backs not to push on as there isn't anyone in midfield who will cover them.
Just a bit, I'd imagine.
I would think that Ferguson has probably apportioned a fair chunk of the blame for our CL exit to Carrick.
Little too subtle. I'd expect more extravagant and vibrant vocabulary.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaascinating...
3-0, Scholes double and Macheda

Scholes and Giggs in the middle? Wtf, poor defence
Attack is the best form of defence though! Come on Kiko!

Rafael maybe being given time out of the limelight after his red?
Carrick being given a kick in the balls for his last few games?
Oh dear, have a fear that in the middle of the park we will be over ran.
But very attacking which is exciting.

It's a very attacking line-up, and Giggs is still pretty quick despite his advancing years.
feckwit on BBC said:
It's started already!
Sensible, I suppose. Young player - give him some down time. Personally, I think he's made of stern stuff and I'd have started him.
Whatever - Ferguson was very supportive of him in his press conference.
Carrick was due a dropping. I'd give him a while out of the side and allow him to completely freshen himself up tbh.
Walton is the referee.
Good to see Macheda get a start, hope he grabs the oppurtunity.
feck red nose and feck allardyce, this whole thing is so corrupt, why do I even bother. I'm going out, and not watching this, we all know it will be a United win.
Who's the ref? I bet he's in his pocket as well
feck Sky, feck the Sun, why can't everyone have the balls like Benitez to stand up to him
[/RAWK]
How was that?
guys, i have admit - i would hate it if one of you exposed me to the temptation of watching this game illegally, so please do not send me a link to a stream.
Still both should be on the bench, or at least Carrick should. I think Amir has a valid point, this team lacks a lot of dynamism.
Fair dues. I shall not send you a stream.
The thing about this SAF-Allardyce friendship is that, do people really think Blackburn's players give a flying feck? They're playing Man Utd - they'll want to put a show on.
Also, isn't SAF friends with about 99% of the managers in football?

I find myself not giving a shit. With five games to go Blackburn are safe and have little to play for. Perhaps he just wants to try something a bit different and challenge players to show they deserve to stay.
Could somebody hide a stream link for a HD channel with English commentary in a spoiler please?
Giggs, Neville and Scholes in the same lineup...hmmm.
Should be ok against Blackburn but then again. I dunno. Why not start Gibson after his last game? Good to see Fergie start Macheda as well. It's obvious Berba on his own can't get the job done, hopefully Kiko will help him out and get us a morale boosting win.

actually is quite good mate
Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Jones, Givet, Emerton, Grella, N'Zonzi, Pedersen, Olsson, Kalinić.
Subs: Brown, Nelsen, Dunn, Roberts, Andrews, Diouf, Di Santo.

Exactly, we're not loved in Blackburn.
Friends or mortal enemies, he does tend to dichotomise the footballing world!
Don't bloody send me one either!
Either that, or we'll control the game with their passing and experience.
Howard, Barthez and Carroll were all sold after individual errors in the Champions League ensured our exit. I'd be suprised if Carrick avoids the same fate. He wasn't in Fergies good books before the game, this might just tip it.
Fine. This shall be easy, as I actually don't have one!
4-4-2.
fecking thank you.
fecking thank you.
lol
I like seeing 2 strikers up front.
It's a changed team but still looks good to me. Hopefully Scholes and Giggs wont get overrun in midfield.
