Yea remember the last time they played in a Prem match? It was so hyped up about who was better Henry or Ruud, and then Henry never really showed up. He supposedly was on the pitch but didn't show up.

Prediction 2-1 RVN, Scholes

And how accurate have you been this season?
6 pints for me in the first half. Then we'll score 6 goals.![]()

Did they play the full 90 minutes?

Did someone get injured Elfie?
I half heard something on the radio about an Arsenal player being out on Saturday.

Unfortunately Zidane won't be around to hand us an assist with an astute back heel![]()

They couldn't have been as bad as Scholes/Rio/Neville(the gay one)and Beckham

Whereas Cole and Campbell (the gay one) played well?

Henry played 76 minutes, Wiltord played only the first half, Pires and Vieira played only the second half. Wenger had asked Santini to care about his players and not let them play for too long, he even attended the game, probably to ensure that his players don't play too much...
Silvestre played the last quarter. As Lizarazu didn't play well people say that he could soon take his first team place...

No, no French player got injured.
I've heard too that an Arsenal player was injured, I can't remember who but it's not a French player.

Zidane had his worst game with the French team yesterday... The others were bad too. Rame made an horrible mistake (Fab was missed) .But the Czech team was remarkable...

Jermaine Pennant didn't play in the U21 match with Italy because of an Achilles problem, but he's on loan to Watford. Oleg Luzhny is out with a calf injury. Either way, not exactly Earth-shaking news.

Gazza------Ferdinand-----Brown-------O'Shea----
Becks------Scholes-------Keane-----Silvestre---
------------Ole----------RVN-------------------
Subs:
Lopez (let him start if Barthez can't)
Neville (comes on for defensive strength at 80')
Veron (Scholes is in form; sub for injury only)
Butt (plays only if injury to Keane)
Forlan (comes on if we need a goal at 70')
Giggs (do not risk further injury)</strong><hr></blockquote>
I like that team as well. It won't be the one tho.
Originally posted by lonbwoy:
<strong>Well now veron if definitely out, giggs and barthez are doubtful, so we will probably see butt and maybe forlan in the shake up!!.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I reckon we'll play:
----------Barthez-----------
Neville--Rio--Wes--Silvestre
-------Keano--Butt----------
--Beckham-Scholes-Solskjaer-
------------Ruud------------

Ingenius formation. Would nullify vieira and gilberto well, as well as making keano and butt drop back to deal with Henry. Though i dont think nicky is ready yet for this kind of game, not match fit, so id go with:
----------Barthez--------------
G.Neville--Rio--Silvestre--OShea
-------Keano--P.Nev-------------
--Beckham-Scholes-Solskjaer-----
------------Ruud-----------------
subs:
Ricardo
Forlan
Butt
Wes
Richardson/Nardiello
i feel silvestre should be drafted in to the centre to deal with henrys pace. That leaves a left back position bare and wes cant play left back so JOS comes in there. Id like to see richardson get a run out if were "strolling" it with 10 mins left (very unlikely but still), a big game like this could give him some very valuable experience indeed.
