Wigan Athletic vs. Manchester United

rOnaldo[7] · 3rd May 2008, 17:44

they played well or villa played badly today?

REd FUn DevIl · 3rd May 2008, 17:55

Do not put Brown at RB, keep Hargo on there, he is been a rock and fantastic going upfront.

The rest of the team should be the same strong line up.

Villa had chances and Kirkland had a good game but Wigan played some bright stuff. As has been said Valencia and Palacios will be in the shop window and I'm sure Heskey will be up for it.
United certainly can't take the win for granted just because Wigan are safe and Bruce is the manager.

Sarni · 3rd May 2008, 18:36

Risking Rooney in a game we should win without him, when we have a far more important one ten days later, would be foolish.

Rowem · 3rd May 2008, 19:53

Strongest team. Carrick and Scholes. They have a longish period of rest before the CL final, no need to rest em for such an important game.

It'd be great to have Vidic back before hand though. For defenders, match practise is vital. Would be nice to see Roo play some part too, for confidence more than anything.

p_ps_sock · 3rd May 2008, 22:13

Kirkland's the one that worries me

he's fully capable of having a blinder, like some keepers tend to do against us, and just be unbeatable for 90 mins.

they've also got players who go past a man and shoot.

It aint over yet, and we haven't won many titles on the pitch.

cockneyred · 3rd May 2008, 22:22

i thought scholesy was doing the champs league final thread

stretford_oslo · 3rd May 2008, 22:49

I'm 99% sure we'll win and I can't wait to see Rio lifting the trophy

The team should obv be:

Vds
Owen Rio Brown Evra
Ronaldo Scholes Carrick Anderson Park
Tevez

For some reason Anderson probably wont play, but we've got so much talent in our squad it's no problem. Giggs, Fletch or a fit Roon in and we're as good as anyone else on this planet.

Number7 · 3rd May 2008, 23:47

It's going to be fucking nervy

Longlivekeano · 3rd May 2008, 23:52

------------------------Van Der Sar-----------------------

--Hargreaves-----Rio---------Brown--------------Evra----

--Park-----------Carrick---Scholes-----------Ronaldo----

-----------------Rooney------Tevez----------------------

Subs: Kuzczak, Vidic, Anderson, Giggs, Hargreaves
Prediction:0-3 victory for us with goals from Ronaldo, Rooney & Tevez

Number7 · 4th May 2008, 00:08

How fucking funny would it be if Kirkland plays a blinder...

and is then subbed by Bruce

Lets hope for a repeat performance fro the West Ham game with Ronaldo scoring early to settle the nerves a bit.

Heinzesight · 4th May 2008, 00:16

we will hammer the bastards...let's just get the job done early, play the fuckers off the park...smash the cunts!!!

Escobar · 4th May 2008, 12:20

----------VDS-----------
Hargo--Rio--Brown--Evra-
Park-Carrick-Scholes-Anderson
-----Tevez---Ronaldo

Anderson to play in a more advanced role. I'm tempted to field Pique as it would mean he would get a Champions Medal aswell. At least he should come on if we're winning

Diabo_Sam · 4th May 2008, 13:49

Pique will be on the bench and he'll come on if things are going ok for us.

That's my worry as well, he was superb against Villa yesterday.

Diabo_Sam · 4th May 2008, 13:53

Bruce in his post match interview yesterday was speaking about how he and his players are looking forward to take a rest and hit some beaches. does that mean anything?

IhabX7 · 4th May 2008, 13:59

That was always the harder of the remaining two, because its away, at home its too easy. We'll see. I hope we wouldnt need a win, although we are more than capable of getting one.

He sends Palacios, Valencia, Sharner, Sibierski, kilbane to Ibiza early, and they will play a weakened side against us.(the rest of the team joins them there after the game against us.)

It'll be probably Sir Alex giving Wigan a teamtalk, while Brucey visits the united dressing room to have a chat with Vidic.

togg · 4th May 2008, 16:44

Bruce has said that they will definitely give United a good game, but that Wigan won't know what has hit them because the ground will be all United. They will be relaxed....having succesfully become safe...we will be nervous. Not a forgone conclusion methinks....but can't believe we will lose. I think chelsea will beat Newcastle quite comfortably...butt of no butt....

charlenefan · 4th May 2008, 16:55

When Carrick scored yesterday it immediately hit me that he's got 2 for the season as have Scholes, Hargreaves, Giggs and Fletcher, that's all of our central midfielders on 2 for the season apart from......... yep Anderson.

Que him to score twice next week against the club that he made his breakthrough game against as well

It's going to happen!

The honour of starting the match thread for the Final should go to the person with the best record (Starting Match threads/Result) this season, come on mods, you know it makes sense.

VidaRed · 4th May 2008, 17:45
