Me too, only change I can potentially see is Pogba or Park over Cleverley if he doesn't make it. I never heard the reason why he was left out of the last game.
I'm not sure why, but for a long time now (okay about a moth or so) I've just had a feeling that out of our remaining games this is the one where we'll rack up the most goals. I would argue that the entire first team bar perhaps Welbeck are in as good a form as they have been all season. If we can control the game as much as we did for the most-part against Fulham and Blackburn, but add a little more penetration, we'll get more goals for sure. If we show up and don't score at least three this time I'll be surprised. We should have really tonked them at their ground, too.

Can't see that mate. I'll go ballistic if that's the team mind.

Hoping for a more settled team during the run in. As we've no games in the cups this should make it easier.
I can't really remember, but did Fergie use the team that started the European cup final quite a bit in the last month or two?

But that one didn't go too well for us though...
Team picks itself IMO, the only position that is up for grabs is who to partner Rooney up top. I would go with Hernandez again, that Welbeck flick pissed me off as much as Fergie.
I'm in Gallway this weekend, any Irish 'tards with any suggestions on a pub showing the match?
Anyone know why QPR have been so crap? They looked pretty good to start, have Barton gone off the boil again? They seemed to have made some good purchases to me, I'm a bit surprised they're not further up the table, they certainly spent a fair bit.
Those two bananas Welbeck and Hernandez have got to start weighing in with a couple, if they both hit a bit of form this should be a cricket score. But United like doing things the hard way.
'those two bananas'?
Racist.
Eight-matchday thread ban for Stookie.
4-4-2 please, Valencia and Young on the wings.
QPR will be in a good mood following their win vs Arsenal so lets stifle them early and put the pressure on City.

We never play 4-4-2 anyway. Rooney is a a number 10.

Sean's team
Starting XI
Bench: Amos, Smalling, Fabio, Cleverley, Nani, Berbatov, Chicharito
Not in the squad: Giggs, Park, Jones, Pogba
Out: Vidic, Fletcher, Anderson, Lindegaard, Owen, Fryers, W.Keane
Some words to the team-selection
We'll see changes in every of the next three games no doubt but i would'nt make too many changes for the game against QPR, i'm sure QPR will be our hardest games in these next 3 games.
I would make only one big change with Young for Jones (The 4-3-3 formation against Blackburn was a disaster) and maybe Welbeck for Chicharito too, Welbeck has pissed me off with his tricks in the Blackburn game but Welbeck is better for our game than Chicharito atm.

QPR's recent road form:
L Arsenal 0-1
L Newcastle 0-1
D Villa 2-2
L Blackburn 2-3
L Bolton 1-2
L Sunderland 1-3
They started their travels with a win at Everton, a loss at Wigan and a win at Wolves. Their only other road win in a 1-2-9 run since came three aways later at Stoke.
Overall away record: 3-2-10, 11 points or .73 points per game, no one has less away points.
Though they have beaten Arsenal and Liverpool in the last 3, both at home.
Last 10 overall: WDLLL DLWLW

I put £5 on a Anton Ferdinand own goal.
WTF terminology is that? Anyhow get your point about hitting form as if Rooney hits a dry patch we'd really need someone to step up and with Berba ousted it might have to be Owen as Danny and Chico have looked a little bit short lately, hopefully we buy a top drawer replacement for Berba in the summer and to relieve the burden on Rooney and if/when Danny and Chico progress it's a bonus.
I don't think it is a good idea to purchase a top drawer striker. It would be hard to keep the Welbeck and Hernandez happy, I rather not lose any of them.
Early kickoff, isn't it ? We usually start out a little goofy with our passing in those
It means they have to cram in pasta early hours
anyone see us dropping points? Im confident we wont, maybe too confident.
It would be fairly typical to get through what many considered our most difficult game bar the derby then immediately drop points.
I don't think we're playing especially good, but we are at home, their away form is awful and we have Valencia
I'll be seriously disappointed if the gap doesn't increase tomorrow to be honest, hopefully Arsenal can get a result.

Nah. We'll win.
not from gallway but i visited it when i traveled abroad, the Kings Head was a great bar to watch us beat Inter Milan at a few years ago (before beating chelsea in the CL
)Monroes is good.
Hopefully the team dont go out with the same attitude as this today, we need to be clinical and get the job done, this may not be as easy as some would like to think. Anyway I would like to see..

I'd like to see Hernandez and cleverly start, but Fergie will prob go with Carrick and Welbeck.

I'm a nervous wreck this morning. Big big day today.
Come on United

Where the feck is "Gallway" ?
Considering how bad QPR are on the road, this is a better opportunity to rest players, as opposed to Wigan away, from a points perspective.
QPR away: .688 points per game
Wigan home: .813 ppg
