I think Aaron Lenon is up to something here:
We should double check the locks on the trophy cabinets!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Hopefully it's a cracking game...sick of watching shite live matches on the bbc...they seem to pick some dire ones...
4-2, with Spurs taking the lead atleast once

No King for Spurs
Strong side, good to see Scholes on the bench, hopefully he'll get 20 minutes or so.
No King for Spurs is a huge boost, so I can see us wining this 3-1.
where is vida?
spurs defence looks shit

There playing Huddlestone in place for King
Punished for being late watching Novak win the australian open.
Vidic injured then. Hopefully just a knock.
SAF's clearly taking this one seriously

hopefully Vidic is rested today and not injured.
Peter WAlton is the ref, he is the worst ref in the football league
Good to see Anderson on the bench. Would love to see him play today, but this will mean he will be there for the more important game on wednesday.
Carrick and Hargreaves again though
feck sake

Good team for us. King is a massive blow for them. I think we will give them a good tanking.
Scholes! 
Both sides with potentially dodgy defence's then.
means anderson will play in the more important game on wednesday
chill the feck out timothy.
thanx. Should be Simpson as the 5th sub.
Where is Vidic
I don't see our defence as dodgy at all. The way I see it is that O'Shea is a better right back than Brown, and Brown is a better central defender than he is right back.
Yep, and both without any real drive in midfield, and both with forward players who can be lethal either on the break or if given space.
Could be a very good game
yeah at least it should be a defender.
means anderson will play in the more important game on wednesday
chill the feck out timothy.
We're more likely to need him today. Pompey at home shouldn't be a problem unless we make it one
Maybe so, but he has played a lot of games, carrick and a fully fit hargreaves should be fine though. If im wrong then i'll be the first one here asking why Anderson wasn't playing. lets see how it goes.
Exactly.
The only thing that I don't like is Carrick and Hargreaves in the middle. Hopefully they prove me wrong.
Rooney could do with a goal today.
Is there even such thing as a fully fit Hargreaves?
Good to see Scholes on the bench. Should be a good game, hopefully Carrick will continue building his form today.
Anyone got the full Spurs team?
Your not one of the most optimistic posters on here i see.
To be honest, if Hargreaves and Carrick can't handle Jermaine Jenas then they may as well switch to playing professional table tennis or something.
Jenas is a good player at times. But at OT he will just descend into mediocrity against Carrick and Hargreaves. As will Lennon. As will Keane. As will Berbatov. That's why they play for Spurs.
we should do the job
I bet after 20 minutes, if it's still 0-0, this thread will descend into anarchy.
"Carrick is shit", "Hargreaves: One signing too many", "Why isn't Anderson playing" and my personal favourite, "O'Shea is shit".
"Carrick is shit", "Hargreaves: One signing too many", "Why isn't Anderson playing" and my personal favourite, "O'Shea is shit".
How fit is Scholes, did he do any serious training lately?
Cerny. Tainio, Huddlestone, Dawson, Lee, Lennon, Jenas, O'Hara, Malbranque, Keane, Berbatov
Subs: Gunter, Defoe, Prince-Boateng, Kaboul, Robinson.
I'm not 100% sure that this is the line-up, but if it is then my hopes for this game have taken a nose-dive.
No King, Tainio as makeshift RB, Huddlestone as a CB - eek!
Ledley King is out. Tainio gets moved to RB to replace the suspended Chimbonda
Cerny. Tainio, Thudd, Dawson, Lee, Lennon, Jenas, O'Hara, Malbranque, Keane, Berbatov
We're always rubbish with a Carrick/Hargreaves midfield
But at least we have 2 brilliant subs in Anderson and the Ginger Ninja on the bench.
