2008 Champions league final anyone?
2007-08 ?
great defence!
I hope Berba has a stormer, he better or some caftards will be calling for him. Gibson to have about 20 shots and score 1

More surprised to see Scholes playing today, would have expected him to be saved for Milan.
Cue a 30 yarder in the first 20 minutes.
They did against Portsmouth but that was in a 4-4-2. Nani got an assist from an own goal and Valencia had a relatively poor game IIRC.
I think CL Final Moscow
when will giggsy be back?
I wish Rooney was on the bench for Rafael/Neville. Even if we're not a one man team, knowing Rooney isn't even on the bench today will give Wolves a little confidence. Having him on the bench even if he couldn't come on wouldn't give us that helpless look if we go 1-0 down.
I'm suprised Park isn't playing, his form is at its peak at this moment.
But still thats a team that can easily get a result.
Lets do these cnuts !!
p.s Our best back four ALL playing.

he had every right, but he should have exercised some man management skills and not have played a player carrying an injury for basically the entire game on a crap pitch.
that team should be well capable of beating wolves and rooney/fletcher clearly need a rest, so im happy with that starting 11.
Yep, i mean you think he would be cautious on englands behalf if not uniteds.
Best possible line-up given the absence of Rooney and Owen, apart from Gibson over Fletcher. Glad to see Nani back, let's see if he can do a job on the left...
with no international football, he would be the most rested of the players, so its not that massive a call imo. He has shown over recent weeks that he can handle 2/3 games in quick enough succession.
We would some what lack a goal threat if he wasn't playing.
Btw
"The One" is on the bench
Do Wolves even stand a chance.

Ah but I think Valencia only hit top form after that game, it started when he came off the bench against Milan.
Hopefully Nani hasn't suffered too much from missing a couple of games.
fecking hell, Jon Champion does my head in. His constant nodding of the head to the camera is so cringe inducing.
Nada
Great, Chris fecking waddle commentating, i give it 3 minutes before he spouts "no cutting edge without Rooney" "ever since Ronaldo left theyve lacked that special player in the final third" if that was Ronaldo that would be a goal" etc..
Mute for this game me thinks.

Little fact for you:
First time that back five has played together since October 2008.

Hopefully Nani and Valencia will be putting such quality into the box that Berbatov wont have a choice but to score today.
bit surprised scholes starts this
fletch did play an international tho
scholes is almost a certainty to get substituted early in the second half

Yes, 16 months ago, at Everton, it was on the club website.
We put that back four out against Blackburn away last season for anyone interested.
Berba up on his own. Oh dear.
(hopefully a hatrick follows)

Should have started Diouf you feel, don't think Berbatov on his own can occupy a decent defence. We'll see how he does though.
feck off capello you useless piece of shit 
It's a strong line up. Finally a fit first choice back four.
If he doesnt, hopefully he'll make one for Valencia or Gibson.
Sadly even in his best form this season Nani hasn't been a goal threat. At least that means there's even better yet to come from him than his recent run in the future once he locates his shooting boots.
Hopefully he'll be on crack like in the final and carry the same "for the team" attitude he displayed that day. If he does that he could probably do a good job in the middle of a front 3. But he needs to work hard.
I don't understand this theory. He does it often enough for Bulgaria and is actually pretty fecking good at it. It all depends on the midfield providing him with support and not leaving him isolated.
Gibson played a good game against Wolves at OT if I recall right.. Maybe that is why he starts tonight.. He doesn't improve if he is only used as a sub..
Great lineup - especially seeing our back-four makes me happy (reminds me of 2008).
I just hope Berba does well as a lone striker.

Good thing we're playing against the 5th worst defence in the league then I guess...
Im liking the team.
Berbatov should stay sharp up front and I expect him to score today. As long as that defence stays solid and we attack with pace from the wings we should get all 3 points. Surely we can do without Rooney for this match.
