Good team, hope you're right.
Come on lads lets seal the last 16 spot with draw or win, don't want to leave it to the last game against valencia.
Team should be...

CB: Vidic
LB: Evra
RM: Nani

I'd like Evans to get a game here, he seems frustrated.
I imagine this will be a much more intense game than the one at Old Trafford as Rangers will be playing for the win.

Rest Nani and play Park. It's a Park kind of game.
Strange that some are suggesting anything other than Rio and Vidic considering our recent record in Glasgow isn't that great.
I don't think SAF will take any liberties and we'll play our strongest available side.
He'll want the win.

Aren't we practically through already?
I agree.
It's difficult to choose a strikeforce for this one. I guess Rooney is a certainty, but who alongside him? Nobody stands out so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 433. Park needs a rest though imo, so it's whether SAF thinks Obertan is deserving of another start..
Hope to beat the feckin borin bastards. The way they celebrated playing the way they did and getting that result made me care a lot more than I should have (I always care it was just early days last meeting at OT).
no there is still a chance if(hope not) we lose to rangers and valencia and both of them were to beat bursaspor we could still go out.
Rooney to start alongside Berbatov please.
Would like to see Smalling get a start, Gibson and Fabio to play a part as well, perhaps.

Be happy with a 1-0. Maybe Rooney can score, he needs 1 to get his season going.
Smalling will probably play this.
And Kuszczak for me.
Did you pick up a knock Edwin?
From todays selection it would appear Fergie was holding players back in prep for this one, obviously sees it as a must win game to wrap the group up, Scholes will obviously start as will Rooney as the manager confirmed, No Berbatov today was a bit of a mystery, either he was injured in training at a late stage, was saved for this game in mind or was being given a bit of a kick up the jacksy....we don't know, id expect him to be back for this one mind you it depends on what formation we go with, away in Europe usually comes with 4-5-1 where we are concerned.
At a guess:
Van Der Sar
Rafael Smalling Vidic Evra
Fletcher Carrick Scholes
Nani Rooney Giggs

I would like to see Evans, Fabio, Kiko or Bebe.
Yeah.... I have a hunch Rooney will get the full 90 in this one.
A hunch based on Fergie telling the world this will happen?
And why are the badges at an angle in the OP? its slightly starting to bug me, can we fix it please?
But its just not right, its like looking at a really beautiful women with a lopsided breast, its disturbing me.
they will park the bus again....but I would love for us to beat the inbreds.
Is Rio injured?
Rio is out for this one according to Fergie.
When did he say this?
A minute ago. He picked up a groin injury for England, but played through pain against Wigan I guess.
We should cope okay without him on Wednesday and Blackburn at home next weekend. Then it's the Carling Cup game and Blackpool away. Let's have him back proper for Arsenal's visit.

I'd play evans ahead of smalling if Rio is out injured again, think he needs some match time anyway.
