Chelsea vs. Manchester United

I'd be slightly worried that we're playing Rafael so much, but I guess our right back options aren't great right now.
 
certainly looks like we might get battered based on the teams, incl the subs.
still, a chance for our youngsters to blood themselves.
 
We've got a very promisong central defender on loan at Watford (Chabolah) and a few other midfielders out at various clubs (McEachren at Forest).

We have not really bothered with youth players for a few years now.

Saying that, we've got a lad on the bench tonight called Saville who is a central defender. I can't see many fans geting his name on their shirts at the moment.

Don't give him a number under 16.
 
I do like the bench. Good chance of the youngsters getting big game experience
 
We shall win, stop with all the arse twitching ladies

Exactly. If someone who doesn't follow us closely reads some of the comments he'd think that Linde, Rafael, Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, Hernandez and Welbeck are youth team players along with Wooton and Keane.

Don't know where this "we are going to lose easily" idea is coming from. Mata ain't the second coming of Christ for god's sake.
 
Interesting that Fergie preferred pulling us out of the FA cup completely in 2000 rather than risk the reserves getting a very tough away beating in the 3rd round whilst the first team were in Brazil. Fast forward to 2012 and he's putting Keane and Wootton out at Stamford Bridge :lol: :nervous:

The side would have been in brazil at the same time. And so were all the coaching staff.

I suppose it was still possible but it would have been taking the piss.

We should have received a bye to the 4th round
 
Did Lee Mason really used to be a United ST holder? It's being mentioned in some circles on the internet.
