0-3, Boro are crap at the moment.

Rooney 2, Ronaldo.
 
We will walk it, Middlesborough had the hoodoo over us when McLaren was in charge..we are due to thump someone the way we're playing. 5-0 with a left foot, right foot, header hat-trick from the mighty O'shea.
 
Traditionally, one of our hardest fixtures.

I hope SAF brings out a few of the bigger guns for this one.
 
-------------VDS---------------
---Neville--Rio--Vidic--Heinze----
Ronaldo--Carrick--Scholes--Giggs
---------Rooney--Saha---------

I think Fergie till opt to field Heinze

carricks turn for a rest. otherwise full strength.
heinze needs games and evra deserves to start.

0-2 united and a 6 point gap

Good pick, but I don't Carrick is in need of a rest. He only played 60(?) minutes yesterday.

And that was a dodgy penalty!

But they've only won one of those games, and scored two goals. We will easily beat them.

A tad ambitious that. As long as we win. Wed be doing well to win by 2 goals never mind. Id take a one goal win and a good performance.
 
Play Heinze to hammer Downing

Vds
Nev Rio Vidic Gaby
Ronaldo Scholes Carrick Giggs
Rooney Saha

Evra for Giggs 60'

1-3 for us carrick, rooney, saha

Are Ole and Park fit for this one ?
 
Give Giggs a rest again. He's 33 years old, he needs to rest so he can play against Benfica and city.

Rooney Saha
Scholes Carrick Ronaldo
O'Shea
Heinze Vidic Ferdinand Neville
Van Der Sar

Same midfield, which we played against Wigan. Giggs and Evra on the subs.
 
2-0 Utd, Rooney, Giggs

-----------------VDS------------------
-Brown-----Rio----------Vidic------Evra
Ronaldo---Scholes------Fletcher---Giggs
----------Rooney--------Saha---------

Rest: Neville
Bench: Kuszczak, Heinze, O´Shea, Carrick, Solskjaer

Wouldn't that force Rooney down the left again.

Play him in the center FFS.

Plus, we didn't even play that well until Brown came off and Giggs came on.
 
I hate their music when they score, it's fecking awful.

2-0, Giggs and Rooney to score.

Ed
Gaz-Rio-Silvestre-Evra

Ronaldo-Carrick-Scholes-Giggs

Saha-Rooney

Think Fergie will rest Vidic for the Benfica game if he's not fully recovered.
 
I can see Giggs coming back and Ronnie sitting this one out [whether that be rested outright or on the bench at the start] with Fletch taking his place on the flank.

We should field as strong a team as possible, wary of Boro after our recent history, and let's not forget what they did to Chelsea earlier this season too.

A tight 0-2 win, goal in each half.
 
VDS
Gaz Rio Sly Heinze
Fletch Carrick Scholes Giggs
Rooney Saha

Rest Ron and Vida for Benfica

Why don't take a chance and rest Giggsy? ;) I know, but maybe it could work? I think that O'Shea did a good, well, ok job yesterday.

I hope Giggs can play 3 games in 7 days, but I'm not so sure about that. What do u think?

I rather rest Giggs in this game than against Benfica or City, but of course I hope he can play 3 games in a week.

very true - the selection was more to do with keeping evra in the frame

2-3 to United.
 
Dropped 5 points against them last season... there was a memorable 4-1 defeat.
 
Hmmm a real toughy i reckon, no particular reason just a feeling...

richardson, tbf - you always produce negative predictions.

Get your sarcasm detector on prick, was just copying the sort of reaction I get if as much as predict United dropping a point. :rolleyes:
 
Anyone else fear a draw in this game considering Boro will have fresher legs as they had no midweek game that I am aware of?

Yes I do. F*ck off FA, they give Boro an 8 day break and we play our third game in 6 days.
 
doesnt matter. If we claim to be champions, we gotta win over those rat ass decisions from FA as well

Boro 0 - 2 Man Utd

Saha x 2
 
When I do the matchday thread, we win.

Here's hoping.

I think we should go with this line up and then substitute giggs and carrick when we have the lead.
 
------------------------Van Der Sar---------------------

--Neville----------Rio--------------Vidic-----------Evra--

------------------------Carrick-------------------------

---------Ronaldo--------Scholes--------------Giggs------

----------------------------------Rooney---------------

-----------------------Saha----------------------------

Prediction:0-2 in our favour. Saha (26thmin) and Scholes(72min)
Easy win after a nervous start that see Vidic getting a yellow card for a needless tackle from behind on Yakubu.
 
Reckon it will be some more tinkering by Sir Alex....

Ronaldo to be rested, along with Carrick and Neville or Rio.

Sir Alex to play:

van der Sar
Brown-Rio-Vidic-Evra
Fletcher-O'Shea-Scholes-Giggs
Rooney-Saha
