Oh right. Well I was going by the squad as given above.
In that case, Brown and Rio in the middle, JOS and Neville RB & LB.

I've got no nerves about this one, I expect our lads to be utterly fired up for this, and we've got a very strong side out. Lets have no pessimism today.![]()

He's injured.

Its injury, not dropped, Alex said so yesterday on MUTV. Mickey's been picking up knocks everywhere these last few weeks, I've been continually surprised how he's been able to carry on playing. But who cares, we've got O'Shea.![]()

Amazing how good your predictions can be when the options are limited.

Good looking side isn't it? Butt and Scholes in midfield I like, and those front two, apparently they're a good partnership.![]()

Depends on whether you're scared of Jaffa Cakes or would just see them as something to be gobbled up.

I agree, i dont think the quality of goals were scoring this year or the quality of football is good as last year, i think the determination is probably better than last years though. So thats always a good sign, but i have kind of been waiting for us to go up that extra notch...

You're dead right, we've not really played like Champions this year, I'm just hoping that our players will rise to the challenge of the season finale. Real Madrid were shite before Christmas, and I think top players find it hard to motivate themselves 100% but when crunch time comes can turn it on. Drawing Real Madrid has clearly excited the players judging by their player interviews on MUTV and I'm sure they'll be competing hard to get in the team to play them, and to lift their level in preparation for it, as well as of course take the chance to go top and throw down the gauntlet to Arsenal. I'm really expecting a top drawer performance from them.![]()

Do you think the real madrid draw would raise there motivation for the PL?...surely if anything, itl take there minds of the premiership and on to 'bigger things' if you like.
Or was that what you were implying?

No, its like in '99, when players get a sniff of trophies it lifts their morale and it transfers to every game they play, whatever the competition. They'll want to win our PL crown back more than anything, and Arsenal's defeat will have lifted them enormously.
