You've got the boldness to create a matchday thread? When we lose someone else should do it...
dont blame me...blame tevez for missing a sitter and saf for selecting a "light weight" team 
Those crests are too bright
Reduce the hue and contrast on them
And your last matchday thread resulted in a loss

And your last matchday thread resulted in a loss
Burn Him, Burn Him! They're 30 pixels too big!
fecking hell, after making a matchday thread resulting in a loss, you should at least keep away for a while.
1-2 Sporting

I think it's safe to say Mr. Carrick shall not be starting
we will win this otherwise i'll feck myself
Why not? Carrick needs to play games and this is a good chance for him to play against Sporting.
Carrick - Anderson central midfield, Owen should rest because of his injuries.

How exactly was it light weight? Vidic and Ronaldo are injured FFS
Calm down. Very unlikely Rooney will start.
Gotta get some pride and form back into the team. We are home now and we must play Anderson, Ronaldo from the start.

No need to risk the glassman in a game we don't neccesarily need to win.

I dont care who plays as long as Anderson starts and personally I think that Hargreaves would be a better match for him, my other reasoning is the same as yours Carrick hasnt had many games lately so lets not put a lot of pressure on him after he has a shit game
I think we'll use this game to give fringe players a run out and players coming back from injury

We need to top the table so I think we should put on a strong XI

Ronnie---Carrick---Anderson---Nani
---------Saha------Tevez
Sub players who played a lot lately if the game is in the bag.

I agree with this. Whether Nani or Giggs starts is uncertain.

ah! then i'd play Giggs next to Saha up-front. Tevez needs to rest
Not sure what kind of team we'll put out seeing as if we win this game we've won the group so I dont think we'll take many risks as far as resting players go. Unless Cristiano is 100% fit I doubt we'd take the risk on him and I can see both Giggs and Hargreaves rested.
I reckon the team will be.......
GK: VDS
RB: Simpson
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Pique
LB: O'Shea
RM: Fletcher
CM: Carrick
CM: Anderson
LM: Nani
CF: Tevez
CF: Saha
I'm going for a 3-1 win for us, Saha, Anderson & Nani all on the score sheet.

We don't seem to have an exciting batch of reserve players coming through just at the minute, or perhaps they are on loan. Usually, these games would have been greeted with cries of 'try Rossi' etc, but to be honest, i couldn't care less whether Eagles or Dong we given a chance on tuesday. They are clearly not up to the level required to be United players, and they are the two elects from our reserves it seems.
Whatever line up we put, we should make sure we get the first place of this group and rest everyone for the final game
Would be his first goal at the club...
Thats just asking for trouble my friend... We are not playing Brighton and Hove.
We 'll lose by two goals at least if we play that line up.
My line up:
------------------PIG----------------
Simpson-------Pique--------Rio---------Evra
Ronaldo-----Fletcher--Anderson----Nani
--------Saha----------Tevez--------
Subs:VDS,Brown,Evans,Carrick,Hargreaves,Giggs,Eagles.
Bring on Evans,Eagles and Carrick after 60 mins.
Will Ronaldo and Vidic be fit???
Even though we have qualified we still need to win to be sure of topping the group.

My first game, there best be a good team out...
Why drop Tevez, exactly? You say rest VDS, Vida and Ronnie but you never mentioned Tevez, so i'm assuming he's dropped not because you'd want to rest him?
I think Rio and Evra will be rested.

Tevez looked tired against Bolton for me.
No need to rest Rio and Evra, Rio had enough days off at the international break and Evra didn´t play for France, both should be fresh.
As Evra is the only genuine player in his position right now,we don't need to play him in games that don't matter,but he is my favorite player and i want to see him play everysecond.
Fergie said that Vida and Ronaldo will start, Nani and Fletcher also
think Tevez will be rested to be honest. Would be a good time to do so. I think it will be Saha and Giggsy upfront.
