Bolton Wanderers vs. Manchester United

Argh, feck ESPN.
 
But Rafael is a better player than him, therefore he should start. It's that simple.

No he's not, you insufferable gimp.

He probably will be, one day, but it beggars belief that anyone with a pair of eyes and a semi-functioning brain can have watched them the last two years and come to the conclusion he is already.

Jacob seriously man.. Fletcher wears Adidas..
 
Sorry, I thought that you were slagging him off.

O'Shea gets a lot of unfair critisism in general. For example, he got slated by some for his alleged poor passing against Liverpool, when his passing stats were excellent.

And he set up the winner too.

He's just one of those players it appears to fashionable to dislike, like Fletcher used to be.

O'Shea is a good player, no he's not world class, but he's decent on the ball, a solid defender, and good in the air. Not top class, but a good solid full-back. In comparison Brown still appears to be very rusty and Rafael is young, learning, and very slight.
 
Right, it's nearly 7am here in Boston. Lovely city, but I've now officially given up trying to find a bar that's open to show the match.

I'd be outraged if somebody PM'd me with a stream...
 
Can't find a Veetle stream, if anyone has one, would appreciate it if you could send it me. Thanks.
 
Fergie seems to rate Macheda higher than Hernandez right now.

There different types of players. Macheda's got more physical presence, more likely to win headers and not get outstrengthened and he also seems to lift the crowd and team when he comes off the bench. He's not quite Ole from the bench in watching the game and assessing how to make the impact but his arrival always tends to lead to something positive and he is also a very good finisher. It's no surprise to me that Fergie went with Macheda from the bench last week against the dippers.

OneUnited is right that Hernandez is very similar to Owen and on form you can only go with Owen after Wednesday.

Hernandez is going to a while to get to grips with the premiership and the pace and physicality of the game. I thought he has been ineffective in his starts against Fulham and Rangers and the other two are slightly more deserving at the moment.

Overall it's positive Fergie has two genuine goal scorers to call on if he needs a goal in any match and it's good to see Macheda finally get a run in the first team squad after his Villa heroics.
 
ESPN show they can compete with sky in the 'shit montage' stakes.

feck you Chris Waddle, in advance of your wank anti United bile, just fall of the gantry already please, it's lower now so you'll just bruise a few ribs or something.
 
Wouldn't have thought both Scholes and Giggs would play with Valencia coming up on Wednesday?

Makes sense otherwise. Rio didn't look anywhere near ready for this game in the week, and you can't really play the twins away from home.
 
There's at least one English veetle stream. Not hard to find it as it's the first one on the sports channels...I'm sticking with M&M1.
