Oh and just so you know Park is still a while off from returning and it dont look good for Saha as when SAF was asked about him he just said dunno maybe SAF has lost patience with him?

Was there any actual point in repeating the same starting XI?

I fcking hate this fixture.Boro will play like its their cup final .They will be really physical.
 
have to play a strong line-up even though there is still the Milan game on Tuesday, boro are fecking cnuts and always make things hard for us.


------------VDS----------------
O'Shea------Rio-------Brown------Heinze
Ronaldo-------Scholes------Carrick------Giggs
-------Smith------Rooney----
 
It is really going to be tricky from now on. We're playing 2 games a week, and it will be very difficult on the players to play every game. They will burn out. The good thing is that Fergie has decided not to do much training during the off days to allow the players to get as much rest as they can. Unfortunately, we cannot rest Rooney or Ronaldo in any game. They are young and can probably handle the physical aspects, but I feel they will be drained mentally. The best we can do is try and take them off when the result is beyond doubt (which unfortunately may not happen very much). The player that will need rest for sure is Giggs. We'll just have to hope these guys don't burn out or get injured. Looking at the team sheet the past 3 games, it appears Fergie is willing to play Giggs, Rooney, Ronaldo, carrick and Scholes at the start of every game. I suppose its our best chance, just hope they don't get injured.
 
I don't think Ronaldo will need any motivating for this game, and by extension i reckon Rooney will be well up for it to get them talking about him again. Hopefully no repercussions for Rio/Gaz and does anyone know Evra's status??

I shall be there urging us forward. :)
 
don't know why but Boro is one of the hardest teams to us like blackburn....
we never beat them so easy.... we will have 5 coming hard games and we must play everyone of them as the game that give us the title...
im not waiting for any team to do us a favor and we should know that...
Against Boro we always need a good defence cause Yakubu is always a thread... hope rooney and ronaldo to kill the game as soon as possible to get replace & ready for AC Milan
 
Out: Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, Park

------------------------Van Der Sar----------------------

:lol: not even bitter, just I duno, yeah maybe bitter. but not because he started the thread, I'm over that. I'm also over the superstitious crap. it's just that we shouldn't underestimate Boro, and making their badge smaller than ours kind of implies that. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we drop points Saturday, although odds are that we won't. as far as our name being abbreviated, it just seems classless to me, no team names should be abbreviated IMO. :)
 
Smith and Rooney, are playing some great football, great to have smudge back in the side. Van nistelrooy who lol.



Van nist was a great for us for a maybe 2 seasons.

and he learned no one is bigger the SAF.:nono: :nono:
 
From now on I will not make a single prediction about the final result in all the rest of Man Utd games. Neather I will predict the first eleven. I would not say a bad word about Richardson. I will give up from all this great stuff just to show my support for the team I love and cant live without. That is the only thing I can do at this momment It is the only thing I can do because I cant go to Manchester to show my support at the stadium because I do leave far away from England. But I would like to say that U guys who are living in England U just dont know how lucky you are to be able to fallow the team when it plays at Old Trafford. If I was in your place I would be screaming my throwt out just to give a controbution to the team. That is all afterll what players are expecting to hear. I was anoyed while I was watching Sheffild game. I mean yes it was sheffild and yes it looked like a clear victory but I dont get it why the supporting was diferent from Roma or WAtford game??? This is the time when they (players) need us the most. And the game against Midd will be the one game from last in Old Trafford this season??? Getter yourself all in one and make a noise atmosphere. Please, I as a United fan Beg you .
Glory Glory Man United

You still haven't fixed it? What an arse.


Here's my team:


Edwin

O'Shea Rio Brown Gabby

Ronnie Carrick Scholes Giggs

Smith Rooney


Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Fletcher, MC R-diculous, Ole​


Vital for us to get Fletcher on for Ronnie and Richie on for Giggs ASAP IMO TRMFTABTS. :devil:
 
-------------VDS-----------
O'Shea-Rio-Brown-Evra
Ronaldo-Carrick-Scholes-Giggs
---Smith-------Rooney

O'Shea, Rio and Evra should be fit and therefor should play. As long as Saha is injured, Smith should play. Doubt we have to discuss our midfield though
 
I blame Ballache13 for any missfortunate we might bump into tomorrow.

Anyway, here's my team:


-----------------VDS--------------
-----O'Shea---Rio---Brown---Heinze
Ronaldo---Carrick---Scholes---Giggs
----------Rooney---Smith----------

Bench: PIG, Richardson, Solskjaer, Dong, Flechter.

2-1. Rooney, Ronaldo (pen) :devil:

I think maybe this line-up as well (everyone listed being available) the only other option might be Heinze at LB. I expect a notional 4-2-3-1 formation.
 
2-0 United
Think this is another game we will win with a bit in reserve
Rooney and Smith to score
-----------------Kuszczak--------------
-----O'Shea---Rio---Brown---Heinze
Ronaldo---Carrick---Scholes---Giggs
----------Rooney---Smith----------
