    FOOTBALL! IT'S BLOODY FOOTBALL AGAIN HURRAH!

    Moyes' first "competitive" game in charge. What will happen? Who will play? **** knows... I'm going to play it safe and predict a 4-0 scoreline. :D

    I'm super excited.

    0-1 to Wigan, commence forum meltdown.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Oh the relief of actual football taking place is sweet. Like an above poster said, glorified friendly but still, Wembley and silver ware on offer as well as an annoying summer of bogus headlines makes it exciting. It also means a week away from the real stuff.....Happy Days!

    3-0 United (RVP x 2, Zaha)

    Giggs and Zaha on the wings in a 4-4-2 or Zaha and Welbeck out wide in a 4-3-3?

    There was a game in pre season where he played van Persie as the number 9, and Zaha, Kagawa and Welbeck interchanged behind him. Could see something similar with just Giggs in for Kagawa.

    Oh right, so you two are happy that for the first real game of Moyes' tenure his midfield option is Ryan Giggs?

    Nice one, must be grand to live like that. Everything's rosey in ManUtd R D Greatest OK! land, stop slagging de players.

    Cool, you're not unhappy that Giggs is a first choice midfielder. Grand stuff.

    I'd be more annoyed at the lack of Kagawa if I was a united fan.

    Zaha should be interesting to watch though.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    If I'm right, Cleverly is the only starter from the game on Friday night, and even that, thats probably down to our lac of CM options cause it's not down to form. Once Kagawa started on Friday, good game or bad, he wasn't starting today.

    No but in fairness he didn't have the full preseason, hopefully we will be graced with his presence sometime in the second half.

    So if RVP gets injured who plays as the striker?

    Lack of Kag is annoying but Giggs has gotten more games under his belt so am ok with him being there.

    People need to get it through their heads this is the Community Shield not the Champions League final. Also Nani and Young are injured and Tony V and Kagawa played most of the game on Friday night.

    Lol indeed.
