Hope Owen's fit for this.
Hope Edwin's fit for this.
No work. First United game in a couple of weeks. Let's fecking go out there and batter the cnuts.
Seems like too long of a time to wait. Need to put things right.
Foster should be nowhere near.
Who the devil asked Doevle to open a game thread? Dammit I am superstition. If you open a thread and we don't get very favourable results please refrain from doing so again. And warning to whoever opened the Burnley game.
Just joking.
Just joking.
Bolton are playing well. This could be as tough a game as todays was. Fergie needs to get the team selection just right. Fergie better not rest any players for the Moscow game. We'll need to be on top form to get the 3 points after todays horrorshow.
I'd play
Rooney Berbatov
Giggs Anderson Carrick Fletcher
Evra Rio Vidic O'Shea
VDS (if fit)

Bit early to predict line-up, what with internationals and all, but if I had to choose now I'd go for this:
------------PIG
O'Shea---Rio---Vidic---Evra
Nani---Carrick---Anderson---Giggs
------Berbatov---Rooney
- Foster needs to be dropped IMO. If VDS is back great, if not, play PIG.
- Would like to see Nani start on right, as he was good there 2nd half today.
- Carrick and Anderson, same midfield that dismantled Wolfsburg.
- Ryan Giggs, welcome back to the team.
- Rooney needs to get back on form. Berba just needs to keep up what he's doing.

wtf international break again ?
Looks good to me mate. I think Edwin might be back, but agree that it should be Kuszczak otherwise.
If Anderson goes half way around the world with Brazil and comes back on a Friday I can't see him starting. Same with Park and Valencia. They could all play the game in Russia.

SUBS: Kuszczak, Evans, Brown, Anderson, Scholes, Park, Owen.

Hey be a bit quiet with the FFSs. We could have gone into this period with a defeat. I actually want a this break to be honest. Will give SAF time to think.
Agreed, it's come at just the right time after that performance; we can "start again" with a fresh mindset if need be.
Last season, we lost to Liverpool and Fulham, then, international break gave us time to rest and we won with Aston Villa 3-2 after Macheda's goal.
Amazing how many people were slating Kuszczak saying he makes mistakes every game, now want him to play every game.
We really need to turn things round in this game and batter them off the park like we did Wigan
Foster (give him another chance...although, to be fair, I didn't see yesterday's match, so this opinion's subject to change after seeing Sunderland's second goal)
O'Shea - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
Valencia - Fletcher - Carrick - Giggs
Rooney
Berbatov
Not that there's a sense of crisis by any means, but an emphatic victory would be good--especially with Anfield on the horizon. Wouldn't mind seeing Owen and (gasp) Hargreaves on the pitch at some point.

Probably the same for me too.
I don't know why most of you agreed.
When Brazil will play against Venezuela in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, it's thursday morning in England. Anderson will probably be back on thursday evening or friday morning. I don't think that Ferguson will risk playing him, he has players to choose from (Scholes, Fletcher). Anderson can easily play 90 minutes with CSKA on Wednesday.
fecking internationals again, still pissed about the sunderland draw.
Hope I'm fit for this.
Someone posted here that he is.

Taken a dislike to Foster by anychance ?
We always tend to have a dodgy performance every 7 or 8 games - we're lucky that we got a point against Sunderland. Hopefully the break will see the side come back sharper both physically and technically.
I think we'll batter Bolton at home. With Wayne back amongst the goals hopefully.

I don't - Berbatov is in a decent little run now and Fergie would be smart to keep him in the side. He was far and away our best player against Sunderland.
And I think it'd be best if we leave him out so we don't run the risk of aggravating his injury. There's no point in rushing him back. It might be the case that Rooney won't be able to play against Liverpool on the 25th due to his wife expecting their baby, so a fully fit Michael Owen at the ready for that game is a must.
I'd rather have him fully fit on the bench than Welbeck/Macheda/King
I completely agree, though I hope if he's fully fit for the Bolton game, he makes the bench.
We'll win by 4
