Schalke vs Manchester United

Fabio playing.

Rafael must not be 100% yet. Although I'm happy for Fabio. Starting to come into good form.
 
Loving the starting line up, surprised at lack of striking back up on the bench though, is Owen injured?
 
O'Shea at the back. Probably Scholes in midfield to keep possession better. Rooney upfront on his own considering the amount of football Hernandez has played lately.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the look of this line-up ;)

It's the same line-up that started at Stamford Bridge is it not?
 
"I hope I can swap shirts at the end of the game with Ryan Giggs. It will be a great honour to have that shirt." ~ Raul
 
If the plan is to blast them down the right for 55 to 65mins and run them ragged and then replace the two of them with Raphael and Nani fresh, that just seems cruel lol.

If you were a left back seeing the replacements coming on after you've been run ragged would make you want to cry.
 
The pre match bit on Ten Action is horrible
Carlton Palmer and Burridge
my ears :(
 
McClaren has put on that many accents for so long he's forgotten how to speak like an Englishman.
 
McClaren says the team will press us for 90 minutes...hope we cope with it better than we have at times this season
 
I also like the vote of confidence in Fabio. This year he's finally earned the trust of the manager for the big games. The team looks very capable offensively and defensively so let's hope everyone is on point tonight. We've got to go out there with the intention of winning this game. Dominate possession, press them constantly and be quick on the counter.

Just make sure we don't give Raul a chance.

Not long to kick off and i'm getting nervy now..

Especially with it being Sarpei at fullback, a 34 year old... But who knows how much joy we'll get in the early parts of the game

Don't think it is an issue of trust...he has finally been able to stay fit for longer than 5 minutes, and his appearances have risen as a result. People forget he was the more hyped of the twins, but injuries set him back.
 
I get giddy when seeing any Da Silva in the lineup

Against L'Arse in the Cup I had an instant orgasm seeing both on the flanks.
 
Alright, I'm really nervous now

You never beat the Germans unless you see them on the bus to the airport :D
 
VDS considering another season according to sky?!!!!

He's such a wum! very cryptic!
 
VDS teasing us, no definite answer on retirement as he did earlier.
 
:lol:

VDS not answering a 'Will you definitely retire' question
