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.
I suspect what you can and cannot tolerate are at the forefront of the player's minds.
Id love it if we could get that team out
Giggs is shite 
Agreed all the way.
Tevez is going to start apparently, not sure what’s happening with Dong but he must make the bench, was surprised he was not even on it against Reading.
Why should it be Dong, I rather give that chance to Campbell if we are that deserpate.
Interesting to see Tevez. Somehow, I feel we will drop points though as a matter of our last result.
Harsh.
No. Retarded.
yes thats you, retard.
Are you soccerbest?
Cut it out.
I agreed that it would be very tough test for us but I am sure that being champions this time will help us to win at Frankan Park.
It hurts last season when we lost against Pompey at FP but this time Tevez's arrival will change the situation
Who predicated 0:0 for us against Reading at OT? I bet no one!
What he said
Giggs is shite
Against Reading he was ok.
Guys understand something, we are champions of england so every team is looking or marking close to our great players like Ronaldo, Giggs and Rooney(I hope he recovers soon) so this season won't be easy for us.
Chelsea had similar problems last season where they struggled in such places like White Harte Line so what I am saying is that don't criticize our players so soon!
are you mad then? all right enough of all this personal insults, get back to football please.
i'd play O'Shea on his own up front again before i'd play fecking dong. Campbell might make the bench though. i was impresssed with him in the Glentoran game. Although to be fair, they were shite.
Tevez
Giggs - Scholes - Ronaldo
Carrick - Haregraves
Evra - Vidic - Ferdinand - Brown
Van der Sar
Kuszczak, O'Shea, Fletcher, Nani, Anderson
Giggs - Scholes - Ronaldo
Carrick - Haregraves
Evra - Vidic - Ferdinand - Brown
Van der Sar
Kuszczak, O'Shea, Fletcher, Nani, Anderson
Giggs is shite
SOMETHING TO GET BAN FOR I BELIEVE
And the ban should be removed the day Ryan Giggs put up his boots.
If we drop points, sack Fergie, sell Anderson and promote Dong.
0-6 tevez, giggs hatrick
Now thats just far fetched. We all expected something like that against Reading but it didnt happen.
We will spank Pompey 3-0
I think ** right
Giggs is shite
Ban him
I expect us to be really keen to bounce back after a somewhat disappointing result at Old Trafford. Tevez will make his debut, and Paul Scholes will be much closer to fitness than the Reading-game. I expect us to put on a usual back four of Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra, with Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick and Nani making up numbers in midfield. Tevez and Giggs will probably start on top, although what I hope for is that Giggs and Ronaldo swap places and Ronaldo supports Tevez up front.
I expect this to be a tight game, but I fancy us nicking the 2-1 win after a debut goal from Tevez, and Ronaldo opening his account for the season.

I just hope Fergie plays his players in their best position.
I like the idea of playing Scholes behind the striker, but if Hargreaves isnt fit, I would not hesitate and play Anderson behind Tevez

I just hope that Scholes shoots more often. He knows he can score from around the edge of the box but still he looks to pass a bit too much. Needs to be greedier.
I'm waiting for pompey to be f*cked by United.

Well, the manager signed him as a striker. Kept him in Belgium for a couple years for experiential and work permit purposes. Now he's brought him to the club. No one other than SAF much rates him, but if he can't at least make the bench when we have no fit strikers, then he really has no reason for existence as a Manchester United striker, does he? I think that's why.
pompey 2-1 United
tough place to go, if you think reading played like it was their cup final, pompey have done it to us a few times at Fratton in the past.
not looking forward to this one

My only problem with that is the lack of striking options on the bench. If its really not working or Tevez were to knackered to carry on we need another striker on the bench. That was SAFs mistake before. Dong or Cambell maybe the only real options but its better to give one of them a chance and atleast put them on the bench. I would probably drop Fletcher or Anderson from the bench in this case.
That result is simply impossible.
Definitely need at least one striker on the bench, if not two. The interchanging midfielders thing is nice, but is unsuited for the Premiership to a large extent, and works best when we are on a roll, which we are not. I say Tevez and Dong up front, Campbell Anderson O'Shea/Fletcher Pique Kusczak on the bench.
If the likes of Dong and Campbell can't get a chance during a crisis like this, there is no point in having them at the club.
So you are then?He used to say that alot, and post lots of '
' smilies, like yourself.Welcome back bestie
hehe

No, I am not, I don't even know who bestie is
stop being such a prick.
I think I would go with what you ar expecting. I want to see Hargeaves and Carrick holding the midfield with Scholes used in a more forward role - creating teh chances. It would be wrong to drop Scholes after Sunday. When you consider it, he hardly had a pre-season at all and was bound to be a bit off the pace. Anyway a front three of Tevez, Ronaldo and Giggs will also be ok. However we must steer clear of the solitary striker idea, particularly Tevez in his first game - it doesn't work for us and it's asking too much of him particularly.
