*Stay calm Richter,stay calm.
Silvestre starts. F*ck off News of the world and sunday express.
weird team... probably going to be a shit match.
Very suprised he hasnt gone with Fletch in midfield in place of Evra, with Ronnie on the left. Fergie seems to like to have the option to switch to centre midfielders when playing against the big teams who do likewise.
I suppose Chelsea are playing 4-4-2?

Alrite. Going to a pub to watch the game.
Good bye lads!
UNITED! UNITED!

UNITED! UNITED!
I said Evra would push up to left midfield 
I'm fecking surprised that Fletcher's been left out, him and SAF fallen out or something?

Terry out for 4 weeks thats the best result we will have today.
Giggs upfront, O'shea in the middle
So is "Lamps" playing?
Ah, yes.
The beginning of August.
This is what it's all about.
9 glorious months to go.

Are Chelski playing with no striker
Decent team, would rather have seen Fletcher in the centre than O'Shea, oh well.
Chelsea are playing a 6-3-1 formation
What channels is this being shown on around the world then? Just want to get a stream going...
Nani on the bench. A very young bench at that. Agree, Fletcher deserves to start.
6 defenders in the starting 11.
Although O`Shea is a nice fellow and a decent LB, he just isn`t a midfielder. Fletcher is, and should be played ahead of him.
And I also though Silvestre was out of the team for today, think I saw a thread on it somewhere.

Why does fergie keep insisting on playing O'shea in midfield, when you have natural midfielders at your disposals in the likes of fletcher or even gibson?
Chelsea team Cech, Johnson, A Cole, Ben Haim, Carvalho, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, J Cole, Malouda, Wright-Phillips.
Subs: Cudicini, Sidwell, Pizarro, Sinclair, Diarra, Worley, Hilario. Manchester
Chelski playing no striker

Gibson has played 2 games in a row and is no way ready to be playing against the likes of Chelsea, and I have absolutely no idea why Fletcher isn't playing. He must have a slight injury or something.
Malouda will be their striker. He's played there for Lyon in the past.
I just hope we can field a different XI in our first League game
Rooney is going to destroy Ben Haim and Evra/Ronaldo will destroy Glen Johnson.
ok guys, another season to spend together is about to start
come on Manchester United!
come on Manchester United!
So Chelsea have 2 goalkeepers on their sub bench?
Foster, Neville, Scholes, Hargreaves, Park, Anderson, Saha, Solskjaer, Tevez
- All missing
fecks sake, you can make a whole midfield and front two out of those, and a pretty decent one at that

8 defensive minded players,
3 attackers.
should be fun

Chelsea dont have a striker
I would have liked Evra to have got another match beside Vidic before the season start. I hope he'll drop back there in the second half.
About as good a team as we can manage.
Fecking hell, one striker on the pitch in total
Promises to be another borefest like the cup final

It shows that Chelsea are still fecked if they have injury problems.
I'm brewing some coffee, might need the caffeine for this one.
I'm going to the pub in a minute
