Blackburn vs Manchester United, 11th Apr 2010, KO 13:30

Drumpot

At least there are no ABU's on this thread and none of those petty conspiracy theory's about something favoring united . .

Professey Chin

Can we get a Soccer Conspiracy Theory sub forum?

Royale with Cheese

It's well known Allardyce and Ferguson are good friends, and now Allardyce has rested a couple of his best players against United for no particular reason?

Of course pointing this out makes you a dirty ABU. Everyone is against United and all that.

I'm not the only one to comment on big sam fielding weakened team against his mate. Although Sky's silence on the matter is quite hilarious.

Whats your point exactly ?

Are you aware United have 6 changes from the team that played Bayern on wednesday night ?

It's also well known that Bolton had a great record against Utd when Allardyce was in charge of them. Where were the conspiracy theorists back then? Load of nonsense.

And Blackburn could still go on and win this game, doesn't mean Allardyce hasn't made it a little easier for United with his team selection today.

Also given the stage of the season that we're at, and the current position both clubs are in, it's easy to see why Allardyce wouldn't really care about this game.

Royale you're making yourself look a bit silly now.

Giggs and Scholes in the centre is a horrible combination but then I don't have much faith in any combination that does not include Fletcher

JerryHandbag

Vidic doin a Carrick there...

It almost looks like Berbatov is trying to fill the Fletch role

Dave!

Berba needs to stay around the box FFS

He was just retrieving the ball from our own box a few mins ago, what the hell?

Blackburn team that played Chelsea

32 Brown
04 Samba
27 Salgado
28 Jones
08 Dunn (Emerton 56)
12 Pedersen
15 Nzonzi (Hoilett 90+3)
17 Andrews
18 Diouf
22 Kalinic (Roberts 63)

Substitutes
38 Bunn, 2 Jacobsen, 39 Chimbonda, 7 Emerton, 14 Linganzi, 9 Roberts, 23 Hoilett

Not too much difference, plus young Jones has earned the right to keep his place.

IvySlayer

Berbatov is playing very very deep :eek:

redout

What a rubbish ball across the box from Giggs

IvySlayer

G'wan Giggs. Always reliable for a good cross.

Except today they've even decided to play with 11 men so if anything they're taking this game more seriously!

But you dont get it, Big sam has had the blackburn team on a diet of fish and chips for the last week, played 3 friendlies last night and there is a team bonus that gets bigger the more they lose . .

Never let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy . .

Samba off for Nelson.

MagicMarker

This game is failing to keep me interested.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Berba even falls lazily.

Mitch Connor

Should have been a penalty there.

Drumpot

Seen peno's given for that . .

CR 7

In a way, I'm glad that penalty wasn't given. Imagine the reaction if there was.:eek: Not to mind the countless threads that would result.

I mean, it's fair enough to tell your players to not make an effort, and pass straight out of play at every opportunity, but to send on a sub with the sole purpose of giving away a penalty is just ridiculous.

everdead.ie

Berba's playing total football every time he gives the ball he takes up the others position

I heard the ref was Fergie's caddy.

Dave!

Berba's in a mood today

Forgot to have his smoke before the match I reckon

redout

Mikey Phelan handing out instructions :pac:

nani's final ball so far today is shocking

everdead.ie

Great save brilliant from berbatov aswell

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Berba's getting into it nicely.

nullzero

Should've scored Valencia:mad:

IvySlayer

ARGHHH Valencia!!

Drumpot

Berbs is like an advanced Central Midfielder . . His passing and creativity is exceptional at times . .

Mitch Connor

well that was incredibly sh1t from valencia. easy chance.

CR 7

That's Robinson off at half time anyway, what is he at?:mad: Diouf on.

IvySlayer

That's it Neville, you shout at him!

JerryHandbag

All thats missing is a goal. Berba playing sweeper now???

Headshot

kiko is showing some petulance but is playing ok now

Peyton Manning

Terrible match tbh

Ian_K

Anyone else see Berg getting caught out there?

Dave!

Well that half was a pain in me bollix

Bit of a chat at half time and we should be okay for a goal or two I reckon
