Doubtful for season opener as per the reports.Is Pogba fit?
I know, but I’m talking about the summer of 2006. Nobody expected us to be as good as we were that season. I remember the pre season previews predicting it may be the season United dropped to 4th (which was unthinkable under Fergie)Possibly could have won it that year had it not been for injuries.
Please don't tell me we play on Friday.Why does the line-up prediction thingy close tomorrow?
Yea, most probably.....Idiot!.....and we'll be 2 points behind the Leaders and our Title challenge will be over for the season in September!
Yeah because the knee-jerkers won't be out in forceYea, most probably.....Idiot!
I just gave my thoughts on what the results may be. There were no comments about how the season would be played out. Who gives a feck about what the knee jerkers think. This was my thoughts on the possible first game. Your comment is a classic example of a keyboard warrior. An example of a classic idiot!Yeah because the knee-jerkers won't be out in force
Returned.
I also talking about that season, we went in to it being seen as just good enough for 2nd. Besides the Chelsea signings we had also sold Rvn which increased the media scrutiny. I think it's one of my favorite seasons because of how they underestimated us.I know, but I’m talking about the summer of 2006. Nobody expected us to be as good as we were that season.

“Carrick isn’t good enough” “they’ve not replaced Van Nistelrooy” “Rooney & Ronaldo hate each other” “has Fergie lost his touch”
All of the above was a taking point going into 06-07. Nobody expected us to win or even challenge for the league.
Keyboard warrior!? Feck me sideways.I just gave my thoughts on what the results may be. There were no comments about how the season would be played out.

Looks like I found the perfect idiot to have some fun with. If you wear a nice mini skirt, I just might. What's next?Keyboard warrior!? Feck me sideways.
Hopefully the Men in White coats catch up with youLooks like I found the perfect idiot to have some fun with. If you wear a nice mini skirt, I just might. What's next?
I am a man in a white coat....Lol. Do you like men in white coats?Hopefully the Men in White coats catch up with you
The feck is going on?I am a man in a white coat....Lol. Do you like men in white coats?
So you think we'll draw with Palace eh, loving the optimism, hope it catches on.I am a man in a white coat....Lol. Do you like men in white coats?
Net fetish eh? Takes all kinds i guess.I'm most looking forward to seeing our goalnets at the start of a new season. We had some beauties over the years. My personal favorite are the soft nets, which hugged the ball when it hit:
Now the nets are too stiff. A worrying trend in the English football.
Anyways, hope the front three are all fit. We have no one to replace them and that would massively impact the shape if a non threatening RW enters the fray, like Mata or Lingard.
TBH I'm not expert when talking about formations, but I watch teams playing formations without wingers (that's why I said diamond or other formations (4222 which I like too)). Iirc I watched the match when Sir Alex play diamond vs Newcastle (?). The FBs don't need to be that Alves, Alba, Davies... they just need to be at a good attacking positions to receive the ball to begin with.You want to play a diamond with our fullbacks? Do you actually know how that formation works?
Well played sirWe need more Captains this year ....

You should read the reply to my original post. It was an innocent prediction, nothing really negative. Guess the guy got riled up for no reason. Love having fun with these sort of people. But yes, I do wear a white coat....LolThe feck is going on?
No we haven't. That's exactly why we're starting later. Because we have had less rest.Think we'll be up for this. First game of the season, we had a bit more rest than other teams so we have no excuses not to go at Palace with everything. Hopefully Pogba starts and we can bring on VDB during the late stages.
Oops, forgot the subs:Well played sir
They've played 2 actually. They were in league cup action mid week weren't they?This is a tricky one to predict, because Palace have already played a full competitive game and are likely further ahead in the race back to match sharpness, but United have match winners all over the 3 plus Bruno and Pogba. I'm going with a 1-1 draw, but fully aware that United could really blow Palace away if the attack clicks.
Isn’t there another international break in October? We’ll pick up momentum and it’ll just break it up again.They've played 2 actually. They were in league cup action mid week weren't they?
Fitness levels are going to really show I feel. If we're chasing the game going into the last 20mins I will be very worried.
United n City have both been royally shafted going into this new season.
He didn’t have the flu....Any word on Shaw?
Also, do people really think Pogba will start? He's had the flu a couple of weeks so wouldn't have trained, and we're still in pre-season; I can see him coming on as a sub for VDB (who looked good vs Villa)
Didn't Shaw play last weekend against Villa?Any word on Shaw?

Yeah, that's spot on actually. They've played 2 competitive games on top of 4 preseason games.They've played 2 actually. They were in league cup action mid week weren't they?

I'm talking about recently (like the last couple of weeks) since we did not play our first game.No we haven't. That's exactly why we're starting later. Because we have had less rest.
He's not Danish/NorwegianI suspect
...................... De Gea
Bissaka - Lindeløf - Maguire - Shaw
............. VDB - McTominay
................. Fernandes
Greenwood - Martial - Rashford
Subs:
Pogba
Matic
James
Alright, alright, Lindelöf then. PedantHe's not Danish/Norwegian
Like he has each time we've played Palace?Can see Zaha play out of his mind as a final audition for bigger clubs interested in him. Not too confident about this fixture.
Ofcourse we're favorites. They did well to beat Southampton last week.Like he has each time we've played Palace?
It's always the same on here come match day. The oppo has one player we should be quivering in our boots to face. Of course we haven't got a single match winner they should be concerned about
