Manchester United vs Chelsea match thread. 5/5/13 k.o 4pm Sky.

Was kinda hoping for a stronger United team. What's the deal with Kagawa lately not getting his game?

MagicMarker

That's an odd Utd line up. Really odd.

Rayne Wooney

I can see Chelsea punishing us for that shocking team selection.

Ye've a lot more options on the bench then we do though, we've only Torres and Yossi :mad:

Hank Scorpio

Nani no where to be seen again, maybe he has a knock

Vertigo100

Fergie trolling every team chasing Chelsea.

DazMarz

Chelsea's team wouldn't exactly inspire confidence either.

And can you blame United for not playing their strongest XI?

Unearthly

Can't see many chances created this game

MagicMarker

I just find it odd that Cleverly and Ando are starting. Ando will be knackered after 60 minutes and Cleverley becomes a passenger after 60 minutes.

First half should be good though, lots of energy and creativity.

I don't know, but Evil Kagawa on Twitter is not impressed!

11/5 is a great price for Chelsea. Although I haven't won a footy bet in 3 months so have taken that price with a crispy €20

And Ramires nullifies them both anyway.

Hopefully......wait for the end of the game when Utd win though.

We've made terrible starts to nearly every big game this season and take about 10-15 mins to get even up to the task.

Wouldnt be surprised if Utd took an early lead here.

Come on Und!!!

Can't see United getting anything today with that lineup. Was hoping for a good game today, especially after that dross of a derby I just endured.

Cypher_sounds

Anderson to chip in with the opener today lads.

Legion.

On the bright side, Hernandez isnt starting

He hasnt socred against us in about 2 matches....thats a dry spell for him against us the little fecker. :pac:

Mickeroo

I can see Chelsea destroying united today with that line-up, why couldn't he have fielded that team last week dang it.

Didn't start the game at Stamford bridge either

RikkFlair

I smell a 3-3 draw

Nuri Sahin

Hopefully either Jones or Mata has an excellent game, preferably the latter.

Did not peg you for a University of North Dakota fan.

GavRedKing

Fergie and Rafa aint exactly great buddies, surprised that Utd started with a weakened team given its Chelsea at OT.

Hoping we can win the game but would take a draw right now.

Mr.Crinklewood

Anyone want to hazard a guess which minute we'll have the first Jonesface?

Kylo Ren

Had to bring up the Jones faces. Some man.

Rayne Wooney

Giving two players a game who won't be here next year if not two years from now, Anderson and Giggs, and leaving Hernandez and Kagawa, who need games and have a big future in the club, on the bench is what annoys me about that lineup.

Just looking at the clips of the reverse fixture earlier in the season reminded me of the "English refereeing's darkest day" thread.

That Torres red. :rolleyes:

Whatsisname

So Ray Wilkins reckons Chelsea should take the ball off United.

Great analysis. Keep up the good work, Ray.

Was a thread on who you could take serious and not so. That's for sure.

GavRedKing

Lampard to equal the record here please.

Try modding it = headache.

MagicMarker

Only 18 full games from Ando in six seasons!! :eek:

GavRedKing

Forgot about Webb, 4-0 Utd. 4 penos and 4 red's. :pac:

I did laugh though has be said. In fact one post on particular had me nearly on the floor it was so funny.

Back to game. Chelsea have good chance now with United team. Will stick with draw though.

Paully D

Gus Johnson and Ian Wright commentating. Nooooooo.

Finally getting around to watching a game in 3D.

What's Ba's record like since he joined? Admittedly, I'm too lazy to check.

Decent enough, not really great.

I'd have rather we started with Torres and played Ba against Spurs.

Legion.

Ba's been alright. Come up in the bigger games in fairness to him, but hes a bit of a lump without much skill/control on the ball

RasTa

How much per letter again?

GavRedKing

^ the print probably cost more then the jersey ha. :pac:
