Wait what a 12pm kickoff on a Monday? Do you guys have a public holiday on that day? (or whatever you guys call them... bank holiday?)
I was preparing for my usual weekday game routine of getting up at 2 45 am for a 7 45 pm kickoff.

12:00 midday UK time? I better book the day off 
Monday NIGHT football...
I prepared the whole thread, asked the mods, and fecking VidaRed posts it before me!
It wouldn't matter if he had some introduction to the game, some facts or anything, but no, just the fecking pics!

You forgot the date and time etc in the title. It should read like the Chelsea thread.

3-0. Should be a walk over. Newcastle defence isn't anywhere near Premier League quality.

Venue: Old Trafford
KO: 20:00 BST/GMT
First fixture of the Premier league brings us an old rival who, after a year’s absence, is back among the best 20 teams of English football. Newcastle will want to upgrade their game from last season in which they won the Championship with overwhelming 102 points, and most definitely ruin the season opening for their rival, who want to start season, in which they chase their record 19th title, with a win. Newcastle manager, Chris Hughton, is surely hoping for a similar result from 2008, when likewise in a season opener at Old Trafford, two teams played 1-1. Looking at total score of these two teams in Premiership, Red Devils are a lot more successful – in 32 matches they won 19, and lost only 3, with 10 draws and goal difference of +33 in their favour. One of those matches that could be emphasized is a match played at Old Trafford in season 2007./2008., when the host enjoyed one of their biggest victories in Premier league, thrashing Newcastle 6-0, with all 6 goals scored in the second half (with Cristiano Ronaldo’s first hat-trick In red shirt).
Besides rivalry, two clubs are also connected by players who wore the shirts of both clubs. Most famous of those are surely Andy Cole, and Nicky Butt, who has represented Newcastle two years ago at OT as a captain. As of this summer, he’s no longer the member of the club, but his captain’s armband took another Ex-Manchester United player, Alan Smith. On our side, we have Michael Owen with the famous 7 on his back, who should be in contention for the game. Newcastle’s most famous shirt, the one with number 9, this summer was given to young striker Andy Carroll, who will be biggest threat for our goal. 19 goals scored last season is recommendation enough. On the other hand, we will expect the most from Premier league’s best player, Wayne Rooney, last season’s scorer of 26 league goals, and we won’t certainly mind if another one like this found its way in the net:
Regarding injuries, Manchester United will miss Gary Neville, Owen Hargreaves, Rio Ferdinand and Anderson, while Newcastle won’t be able to count on experienced defender Steven Taylor and ex-Red Danny Simpson. I expect a fierce encounter, maybe with not so many “nice” moves, it IS the first game of the season, but exciting game nonetheless, and as always – Manchester United win!
Expected line-up:
Van der Sar, O’Shea, Vidić, Evans, Fabio, Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney.

I wouldn't be surprised if chico starts instead of rooney.
ha ha feck I love matchday thread politics!
I think he's still being held in the Bastille isn't he?
Actually it would be Owen instead of Rooney.
I'm not biting.

This is the team I'm expecting but I hope to see Rooney and Hernandez get a run out together up front.
I think it's only right we "welcome" Newcastle United back to the Premier League. We owe them a spanking since we first met them and drew on the opening day of the season (Match: Manchester United v Newcastle United - English Premier League - ESPN Soccernet).
I love how the team selection seems to be much more difficult than last season, especially upfront! Can't afford not to pick Rooney, but should it be Owen, Hernandez or Berbatov alongside him? I'd go for Berbatov and bring on Chica in the second half. I expect the following team:
Can't wait for the season to start.
Van der Sar
O'Shea - Vidic - Evans - Fabio
Valencia - Scholes - Fletcher - Nani
Rooney - Berbatov
O'Shea - Vidic - Evans - Fabio
Valencia - Scholes - Fletcher - Nani
Rooney - Berbatov
Can't wait for the season to start.
I think this is the side most of us want to see save one or two changes with the backline. I'd like to see Cleverley on the bench. If things are going well, he should get a run out.

It won't be 4 or 5-0 on the opening day. I'd expect 2-1 or 2-0
It wouldn't be walk-over but we will win 2-0.
