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.
That aint no competition.
Obertan ruled out for barcodes.
Damn. That means Ben Arfa might play.
If Obertan was in his way then he can't be all that.
Lucky us
Tanman was bound to score a screamer and give Pat a tough time

Ben Arfa is still feeling his way back from 2 injuries. He's much better than Obertan.
I'm hoping for something like:
.........................Diouf.................
Valencia...Berbatov.....Carrick...Anderson
Rooney.....Rafael........Park........Evra
..............Nani........O Shea..............

Diof as the lone striker, Nani and O`Shea as sweepers, no keeper.
Yes, this could work.
I'm sure you're probably making some kind of hilarious joke. But I don't get it.
Europa League
Oh, don't worry about Ben Arfa replacing him. That won't be happening, far too adventurous for Pardew. We'll probably have a fecking fullback there or something.
Oh yeah, the Europa League. Orton is right then, 3 comps. Of course still alot to play for.
Why are there no previews of this game online?
Any news on our backline? Given how we managed at home against the bottom side, I'm praying we've got one or two back fit.
De Gea
Rafael Evans Rio Evra
Jones Carrick
Valencia Rooney Nani
Welbeck
Rafael Evans Rio Evra
Jones Carrick
Valencia Rooney Nani
Welbeck
Evans is out for another week or so isn't he? Hopefully Smalling could be fit though. Otherwise, I'd go along with that side, with Giggs replacing Jones if the latter is required at the back.
Because the game isn't until tomorrow?
They use to have it two days prior to kick-off though, at least SSN does.
I thought the SSN previews usually come out on Fridays?
Besides, given the amount of football lately it's hardly surprising if they're a day late with it.
De Gea
Rafael Ferdinand Jones Evra
Carrick Giggs
Valencia Rooney Nani
Berbatov
Rafael Ferdinand Jones Evra
Carrick Giggs

Who is the other Jones?

Ooops.Edited.
This game would've been perfect for Vidic, he's the perfect player to neutralise a physical striker like Ba.
I really hope we don't see Carrick CB, not only because he's been by far and away our best midfielder this season but also because we need someone physical at centre back.

I've heard he'll make the game.
Mrs ?
Is Smalling playing or not, how close is he? I need to know for FF reasons obviously.
From what I've read of Fergie's comments on that American radio station, it would seem not. We're all hoping Ferdinand will be fit though, or we're in trouble.
All kinds of importance to win tomorrow now
He's travelled so presumably he is fit to play.
This is correct although welbeck may start ahead of nani
I'd go with that. Maybe Welbeck in for Berbatov, but on the other hand his confidence should be pretty good after his latest performances and goals. I'd also consider playing lindegaard instead of De gea.
On the way to Newcastle
Why did these 3 travel separately?
I wouldn't drop berbatov when he is finding his scoring touch.
