CL: Olympique Lyonnais vs Manchester United F.C

Is it fair to say now that this is the sort of game we bought Hargreaves for?

This is where he has to start proving himself for United. Big day for him, especially since other players deserve to start based on form.

Agreed.
 
Ben Arfa injured in training yesterday according to the news in France but he's on the bench.
 
Giggs, Hargreaves, no Tevez.... I suppose Fergie's playing it safe in the away leg. No one should be surprised.

But it seems odd considering Lyon's defence is considered the weakest part of their team. I'd like us to go for a couple of away goals.
 
Is the game on SS1?
 
Not a chance....even if Scholes does nothing other than give the ball away and Anderson is playing the game of his life, SAF will still probably take Anderson off to bring on Saha/Tevez rather than Scholes.

Giggs may get subbed off if he is having a poor game though.

Can you just feck off and watch the arsenal game?

Agree 100%. But maybe the plan is to keep it tight for an hour and bring on the cavalry in the second-half, once we've got the measure of them?
 
Ah yes it is on SS1, can't wait
 
The RTE pundits don't think Giggs is a great player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wenger::wenger::wenger::wenger:
 
Yes.

I prefer to watch it on SS Xtra, when other teams score a box pops-up and shows the goals if you press the red button

Don't think I have Xtra, or do I?
 
Cantona interview on SS1
 
I think Scholes is a liability in Europe..... :nervous:

Am I allowed to say that?
 
If we are playing badly then taking Anderson off and keeping Scholes on is logical. If anyone is capable of a moment of magic to turn the game around it would be Scholes...... experience and all that.
 
The King speaks sense
 
I can barely understand what Eric is saying. Is he speaking Hindu?

He's talking about Fergie still having so much passion after all this time


That goal :drool:

what he said
 
Agree with those who said above it's a game where Hargreaves needs to prove his worth. Good luck.
 
Anybody seen the clip of the Arsenal mascot giving Theo a hug? lol.
