Barclays Premier League
Old Trafford, Manchester
KO: 1500 BST
United 8-0
Team should be...
GK: De Gea
RB: Valencia
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Jones
LB: Evra
RM: Nani
CM: Carrick
CM: Anderson
LM: Young
CF: Welbeck
CF: Hernandez
Subs: Lindegaard, Fabio, Fletcher, Giggs, Park, Berbatov, Owen
Obviously hope Rooney is back, also Evans as the Rio/Jones partnership isn't working. No chance we'll keep a clean sheet so I'll go 3-1 Welbeck, Hernandez scoring.

I really hope not.
do we still have a defence for this?
......Lindegaard
Jones Rio Evans Evra
..Carrick Anderson
Nani Berbatov Young
........Welbeck
Jones Rio Evans Evra
..Carrick Anderson
Nani Berbatov Young
........Welbeck
We need to get back to Roolbeck or Roonandez upfront and get Jones out of the CB and play him at RB where he can go on his runs and have slightly lesser defensive responsibility.
Fabio joined United's injury list - however, the Scot is hopeful of having more options for the weekend's match against Norwich in the Barclays Premier League.
He added: "I don't think (Chris) Smalling will be back but hopeful of one or two others will be coming back."
Asked by Sky Sports if Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez were two of them, the Scot said: "Hopefully."

Why did you put Lindegaard in goal? I would put DDG in goal.

Good God, a 3pm Saturday kick-off for United!?!?! Must be some mistake... 
I like Norwich but, bejesus, I hope we hammer them.
I like the look of Jones - Rio - Evans - Evra. I don't expect to see Rooney as SAF will want to keep him out of the England game, even if he's approaching fitness again.

3-3 draw
Just to give him a game, I quite like him. But De Gea is probably better at this point.

------------------Berbatov-------Wellbeck-------------------

Let's be avin yaaaa. 6-2
Clean sheet please
3-1
I want Anderson and Carrick in midfield, Nani and Young on the wings. Hopefully Rooney is fit, I'd pair him with Welbeck
For the first time since the season before last (fecking kids) I'll be at Old Trafford this weekend. Looking forward to seeing some well-kicked arses make Norwich pay for the points we threw away last night.
This. But against Norwich, I would be more tempted to have Owen than Berbatov.
convincing win and clean sheet please.....
Nice. Now if it ends up a boring 1-0 you can claim to have predicted it.
Thought the same thing.First match of the season not televised in the UK?
I watched Norwich's game against Chelsea and I thought they played really well at times. This won't be a walk over, particularly with our dodgy defense.
we should still win, norwich are no basel .
Actually, I thought they were kinda similar to Basel when they beat Sunderland last weekend.
...and no more injuries.

Will there be a Cafe meet up in the Tollgate (?) for prematch drinks?
Not if we threaten to talk audit!
Its alright, I don't talk shop outside work...
Pah
You never been before, PJ?! Shame I won't be around, I'd buy you a white wine spritzer, enjoy it mate.
Give us a shout if you're around for a beer beforehand.
Balls, didn't see Pogue's post, that's two of ye bastards I'd like to have a beer with who're going when I'm not around
