Away from home in Europe at the moment, yes.MrMarcello said:All along SAF wanted a striker that was not cuptied so now he gets one and people are saying he should be on the bench?
It gives SAF the option... doesn't mean he always has to play him...MrMarcello said:All along SAF wanted a striker that was not cuptied so now he gets one and people are saying he should be on the bench?
No.Mr. Bungle said:Would this be the sort of match for Kleberson?
Its not the worst suggestion I've ever heard. If we were in form (and if Kleberson were in form) and playing at home, I would go for it, but as it is.....Mr. Bungle said:Would this be the sort of match for Kleberson?
The Portugese aren't exactly the most physical players, and his skill and slick passing could serve well against a side that likes to play pretty football.
I would stick him next to Keano in central midfield and Scholes in front of them both.
Nope... can't afford to take risks in important games like these... we need our big match players for these type of games... i'd go for a more physical midfield... stick Phil next to keano...Mr. Bungle said:Would this be the sort of match for Kleberson?

Ruud Van Nistelrooy will NOT be playing in our home leg.
This is true - a friend of mine is in the Maltese Man Utd supporters club and he is very good friends with the scottish knight Ferguson and also Dwight Yorke, and the scottish knight Ferguson told him Louis Saha NOT Ruud Van Nistelrooy will face us at home.
That is really good news! Up porto!

Extremely reliable, safe to say true, this info will not come out till late but Van Nis had a niggle and will NOT be risked (but the replay, probably). My source is perfect, he is an old friend of the scottish knight Ferguson and has even seen live the 'hairdryer treatment' over his own mobile phone!
not sure, but I'm pretty sure BBC 5 has live...Mr. Wood said:I don't suppose anyone knows if there will be an internet broadcast of the match?
And will Sky Sports have a radio link?
Aye, just realized it's on Setanta.jacqueline said:not sure, but I'm pretty sure BBC 5 has live...
19:00 i think
and SET has live...
for both leg.
in canada...
but i can't figure out what channel's that...
can i subscripe the Sentanta channel??Mr. Wood said:Aye, just realized it's on Setanta.
I'll be going to the pub for that one ...
Setanta is only PPV so I don't think you can subscribe to it. Most events are available if you have satellite (including Bell ExpressVu), but some events (I THINK that includes the Porto v United game) in are only available to pubs and other businesses.jacqueline said:can i subscripe the Sentanta channel??
no on rogers, no on bell.......

perhaps many of you've read this already *getting ready for the redcafe summer tour again?? hehe*
so... this dear Tony Ferrino friend said no ruudy... and his friend ''seen live the 'hairdryer treatment' over his own mobile phone''.... wonder what that would like...
Yes. I'd like to see this start-up line above. We cant afford to make any mistake's and I think will win this game 0-3 or 1-3. Ruud 2 and Scholesy 1.Mr. Wood said:---------Howard----------

Still not sure about Keane in defence, but I think it has to be done.
If Wes is 2-3 games short of fitness then he shouldn't be starting a CL QF.Mr. Bungle said:Sky Sports News said that Roy will drop into defence and partner Wes Brown.
And Fergie said that Wes is two or three games until returning to full fitness
Or the round of 16 for that matterGazza said:If Wes is 2-3 games short of fitness then he shouldn't be starting a CL QF.
Good postthereddevil said:Our defence is the major worry. Silvestre out for up to 3 weeks (misses the return leg amongst other important fixtures).
The tabloids are screaming for Keane to play and reckon Keane himself is getting annoyed at being left on the bench so much... says he retired from International footie so he can play more for Man Utd (as Shearer does for Newcastle).
However, Fergie seems to think he can't play two games per week without dying.
Personally, I would like to see Keane start... whether it be in defence or midfield is irrelevant to me... he can do both jobs very well.
Just the fact that he is on the pitch handing out rollockings where necessary should help keep players concentrated.
Putting him on after 60 minutes smacks of shutting the door after the horse has bolted to me.
I would also like to see Saha start in this one... I don't believe he was injured at the weekend, it was just another of Fergie's mysterious selection policies this season that backfired.
The lad is on fire and he desperately wants to sample CL football so this would seem the ideal game.
The only major selection headache Fergie has is who to play in Midfield. Personally, I would like him to put a bit more faith in Ronaldo. He's learned a lot this season and has been pretty effective whenever he's played recently.
I would like to see Kleberson play more and the only reason I don't think Fergie will pick him is because he will want a defensive midfielder in there.
This could be the game that makes Butt decide his future DOES lie at OT.
I expect him to be picked and to shine.
