Oh, and no Valencia as well. Really surprised at this line up. Nani has barely played in comparison. Hope he's as fresh and in form as his last performance.

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.
Honestly don't know what I fear more. Giggs in CM or Park in CM
I dunno, I think it'd be better to have Park out on the left, it suits his strengths as he can give protection to Evra, and he's not usually gonna be directly involced in the main attacking play and can drift inside, which he does pretty well. If he's in the middle because Scholes and Carrick will play deeper he'll have to be the link player and I think the shows up all the weaknesses in his play. Giggs might be careless at times but he can also be the one to play the killer ball through than no one else bar scholes will.
Just thinking about the game against City in the FA cup last season though and that's the other worry I have, with Park on you take away part of the threat from scholes because when you have players like Valencia/Young they'll look to get really wide and stretch the pitch opening up space for scholes to find those passes with, if Parks out wide though he'll look to come towards the ball which condenses the pitch and makes it much harder t isolate a winger against his fallback.
Still fingers crossed.
0-1. Park.
Remember the time against Arsenal we played 7 defenders in the team, and our midfield was the twins, Gibson and O'Shea!
Just remember that!
Just remember that!
He won't have had to. SAF can analyse games too.
feck sake, just seen about Sky Go. First the Chelsea vs Barca game and now this. I knew i should of signed in sooner. Wankers
very negative lineup. Giggs, Park and Scholes on the pitch at the same time. I guess around the 60th minute mark we will see massive shifts in the formation.
Neville making it sound like we're playing Barcelona
I had SkyPlayer working on the dot and it went down, they're just pricks who need to get their act together.
we'll know in the first 20 mins if this team is working I reckon
Fergie says Giggs and Scholes experience is vital and we are going out to win the game.
And the weather was terrible in Wales.

City ain't Arsenal though
One thing I do like is having the option of Valencia off the bench, he has consistently performed well for us off the bench against tired legs.
Hold me
SAF: "I've never gone for a draw"
Blimp camera shows an empty stadium: "packed out stadium"
excellent interview by SAF
What did he say?
Fergie has calmed me down
Gary not very reassuring during that, thanks for calming the old nerves there gary...
Im not that worried with Jones in at RB. He's much better when he's playing in a team that has it's back to wall...which is what our formation suggests is going to happen.
Our problem will be doing something meaningful with the ball because it looks like it's just gonna keep coming back at us. Can't back on them not scoring. Guess the only positive is that City have been shit when the pressure is on them to do something.

I really hope this is going to work or ... god forbid... I might have to jump the ship and join city.
ESPN America just referenced Fergie as: "The Hunter is Now the Hunted."

Time is going soooo slow.
SAF: "I've never gone for a draw"
Yeah, to be fair when I said the team looked set up for a draw, I should have said we look like we're playing on the counter.
OT is like that 10 mins before the start
absolute bastards. biggest game of the season and they feck it up
My out loud laugh to that was an incredibly nervous one.

My nerves have calmed but I'm sure will reemerge at kick off. What happens happens.
