The Champions V Hull City - 06/05/14 - 19:45

Is Rooney definitely out of the squad lads? My Fantasy Football life could depend on it!!

The cup final isn't for another 11 days. If I was Bruce I would play a regular line up but just encourage them not to be reckless.

I remember Fergie rested a load of players before one of the CL finals (the league game was actually against Hull if I'm remembering it correctly). I think he said it actually did more harm than good because the players went into the final cold.

Gibson scored a screamer that day.

Wayne Rooney will miss Manchester United's final home game of the season as he is still struggling to overcome a groin injury.

Whatever dude, we already beat them this season, at worst we will come out with the same amount of points v Hull home and away as yourselves :pac:

Same you couldn't match our results in all the other games, might not be mid-table then. :pac:

Can somebody hazard a guess at a lineup or score prediction or something remotely match related???

I'm gonna go with a narrow home win, although not overly confident...

Ill stick to my thread prediction

DDG
Jones Rio Vida Evra
Valencia Carrick Giggs Young
Welbeck Hernandez

I reckon it will be 22-0 in Uniteds favour with Giggs scoring 21 of them and DDG getting the other

Hi, I am a Liverpool fan and I may be back later on, hope nobody minds.

Some lads desperately hoping for a united loss to ease their pain.

I'll say 3-1 to United.
They were very poor at the weekend and should react to that

I won't mind at all. If we lose sure I'll be gone meself. I'm not an idiot.

8-10

Vialli?

I think it actually was! My immediate guess would have been Gary Monk but he hasn't played himself for Swansea this season and actually withdrew from the 25-man squad so I'm not sure if he qualifies as a player/manager anymore?

I don't think so. A hull victory would just be a hull victory really.

Moan about what? Being in the driving seat for the league title...having CL next year? Having the best squad in the league? Hmmmmm....I guess that FFP thing is a bit of a buzz killington

We have to share. 1 win each. If we are matching all your results it's only fair we match a win against us with a win against yous.
That would leave City top though so joint second

Then why so much interest from Liverpool fans in what is essentially a dead rubber tie?

I understand, I legged it myself from a thread last night. Just had a look and was very delighted with my decision.

Perhaps, it would be nice if everyone introduced themselves to threads, that way, the orneriness might be lessened. Just a thought.

It was Vialli, Gareth Southgate was a player manager too but never actually fielded himself so Vialli last manager and get minutes on pitch I reckon.

I'm actually glad this isn't televised.

Yanks are showing it so I'll be watching as always.

Lots of channels are covering it so there will be no shortage of places to watch it!

I take it Jelavic dropped after his horror show the weekend assumed he'd be playing their remaining games given he can't feature in F.A. Cup.

Giggs and Vidic on bench

de Gea

Valencia
Jones
Smalling
Buttner

Januzaj
Carrick
Fellaini
Kagawa

Lawrence
Wilson

Amos, Vidic, Keane, Mata, Giggs, Young, van Persie.

So no Welbeck or Hernandez

Defiantly a chance for some of them to shine for the looming Van Gahl

Lucas Hood

I can't wait till Giggs term as manager is over ,all 3 lineups he's selected have been shocking.

Will I Amnt

This game just got more interesting. Good to see the young lads being given a shot.

DoctorEdgeWild

Love seeing less well known names in a line up, reminds me of better times.

Last time I checked United were still the Champions. Nobody else has won anything yet.

Is it hurting anyone? Good chance for youngsters and a nice way to send of Vidic & Giggs, along side the future of the club.

It's hurting the people who've paid their money to see the games, I just want United to select their best possible team for every game.

I don't mind giving these lads time just not from the start.
