i forgot to mention fletcher, but he`s still missing after he didnt show up for the fa cup match against liverpool

Great keep looking for Fletch I will look for Giggs and Richardson.
 
Code:
........................Van der Sar.............................
Neville........Vidc.................Brown................Evra
.........................Ferdinand...............................
Ronaldo....................................................Giggs
...........................Rooney.................................
..........Saha..............................Ruud................

SUBS: Howard, Fletcher, Silvestre, Park, Richardson.


We can have Saha dropping deep into the midfield to play as a link man and to win a few aerial balls, while Giggs could also move into a more central position to help win the ball there, whilst Evra overlaps down the left flank. Rooney will play in a free role and track back to cover for either Neville or Evra should they be out of position on a counterattack.
Code:
........................Van der Sar.............................
Neville........Vidc.................Brown................Evra

SUBS: Howard, Fletcher, Silvestre, Park, Richardson.

Wigan's been pretty quiet in the media about their possible UEFA Cup ticket haven't they?

Yes. In the season 1991/1992 :)

Man Utd: Schmeichel, Parker, Irwin, Bruce, Phelan, Pallister, Kanchelskis (45. Sharpe), Ince, McClair, Hughes, Giggs

Nottm Forest: Marriott, Charles (45. Laws), Williams, Walker, Wassall, :devil: ,Crosby, Gemmill, Clough, Sheringham, Black
 
Seeing Rooney hasnt won ANYTHING since he was 13.... giving him free reign behind Ruud & Saha makes sense. The boy will be bursting to put in a top performance. Just hope he doesnt implode and do a Gazza :( (talk about prophets of doom - sorry about that!).

Another reason is pretty obvious - it isnt exactly our biggest ever cup final is it. This is the first post (and pretty much first time I've thought about it). I got more excited by our trip to Pompey.

That said, I do want to win something.... and so this will have to do.

Right.... off to put a few quid on Wigan :nervous:

feck. I'll have to put it back up then. I stopped seeding it because about 4 people finished and I thought you were one of them
hey randy
forget about it
 
4-0 or 4-1, i think we'll go out all attack and rip them apart like at OT, i think an unusual scorer will score for us, brown or fletch maybe...
 
Time to introduce you a thing that we're playing for coming Sunday.

0,,10414~2785713,00.jpg


Three days to go.
 
If we win and liverpool will feck all then we're up to 31 trophies to their 39. We as fans should want to win every cup more times than any team, especially those scouse shits.

League - behind 3 trophies
EC - behind 3 trophies
FA Cup - AHEAD 5 TROPHIES!
and League Cup - behind 6 trophies

Let's get in there and keep chipping away damnit!! I think it's stupid for us to disregard any trophy. Silver is silver even if has 20 diff names and almost as many handles
 
I'd go with:

GK - VDS
RB - Brown
CB - Vidic
CB - Rio
LB - Evra
RW - Ronaldo
CM - O'shea (is he fit?)
AM - Rooney
LW - Giggs
STR - Saha
STR - Ruud

It's a bit of a naive formation, but I say let's minimize our weaknesses (midfield, and especially defensive midfield) and maximize our strengths (attack).
