Got to win this, settles the title race if we do I reckon, then we can play a half team against Chelsea ahead of the second leg against Barca

rednev · 14th April 2008, 23:22

1-0 Ronaldo.

We play our best team against Blackburn then I wouldnt be surprised to see us make some changes for Chelsea. Our squad is strong enough to perform against them anyway.

Oh and change your location, Mozza. Hargreaves deserves a little more respect now.

Agree.

I think if Vidic and Nani are reasonably fit then they will play at least some part, possibly Nani off the bench and Vidic from the start. I think Giggs and Tevez will play, but probably be on the bench against Barca.

I don't think we'll deviate too much from this, although Fergie always surprises us!

Hmm, I'd say Ron - Tevez - Rooney all up front to start with, with them switching about

so, you're just about right

Rant over

and you decide what "proper" is? i think your posts on this thread are complete bullshit.

first, Addict's original matchday thread was fine both functionally and aesthetically. i spent a good 5 minutes just trying to figure out what could have possibly been wrong with it. it's certainly not gonna drive any visitors away from the site. if your claim, or at least implication, to the contrary is the best justification you can find for being an asshole, you should try harder.

second, you claim that you were criticizing him on aesthetic and functional grounds, yet you go and check his "record" as if the creator of the thread has any bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the match. I have news for you buddy, what we say and do on this forum has absolutely no impact on the outcome of the matches, as much as many of the delusional posters on here, yourself included, would like that to be the case. only the players and their performances do. that's why the bbc doesn't do match thread ratings for us redcafe users. I could imagine it now:

Carrick - 7 good use of the ball, distributed well.
Ronaldo - 9 magical performance. man of the match.
Girish - 6 decent matchday thread, but shouldn't have centered the text
under the logos. Ronaldo's brilliance made up for Girish's type
setting mistakes.

if someone centers the text on match day thread, capitalizes a "v", puts the date but not the day of the week, places the time above the venue, chooses a larger image than normal, or uses the word "venue" before the venue without using the word "date" before the date, none of that makes any difference whatsoever. the game will be decided by the players, managers, and perhaps the referees. these minuscule differences in layout and typesetting most certainly won't make one iota of an impact on a match.

Have a feeling we'll win this one comfortably after the Arsenal scare. The title is ours unless, Phil Neville can stick a few in the back of the Chelsea net, which would be highly unlikely but one can dream.

M160RA · 15th April 2008, 08:34

Attack, attack, attack!

SUBS: Kuszczak, O'Shea, Giggs, Scholes, Park

Hate to leave Scholes and Giggs out, but I reckon Anderson deserves to start on merit.

Put Scholes back in , take Tevez out. He's needed for his vision. Everybody has a bad day at the office.

You've gotten half of this right, I hope you're right about the rest.

You're wrong though, which is shit.

Nani should be fit for that one, and therefore make it at least onto the bench.

Anyone knows how Saha's progress is? He's had some decent performances against B'burn...

Interesting shout. He could be a good rb. I'd give Vidic another game off to ensure he is fit for Barca.
