I've read this a few times, it just can't happen and would be a ridiculous decision to start him!
I think it's just a curve ball. I have a feeling Mkhi and Zlatan will start with Rooney on the bench.

Hasn't Miki been confirmed as injured?
Look at the video and my post above, he's travelled and walking fine off the coach with all his gear :drool: It might be wishful thinking but I also think he might be fit to play.

In Stanstead airport waiting on a few other lads to arrive on a different flight. No place to have a sneaky pint, or I'm blind. Costa will have to do. I am disappoint....

Wembley! Chuffed for you lads that are going. I'm having a big sleep and then waking up early before work and watching. Gonna be magical!
I assume you're in Aus or NZ, then?

5:30am kick-off on a Monday morning for me..... have already arranged a possible late start at work, just in case of extra-time and (please not) penalties....

I'm sure you're gone now but I remember a spot there called the mill or windmill or something

Wembley ticket has a hotline for reporting people for standing! I hear next year's will allow you to report people for SING (Singing and supporting a team)

It's a nice idea but fecking hell, reporting people for standing and swearing at a football match? What a joke.

Great concept beyond the standing/swearing bit and even that can be justified in certain situations.

Juxtaposing foul language and standing with racism, htph, drinking, smoking and disabled abusing. Go figure.

There was one about Torres looking like a transvestite.
True. Imagine you are a transvestite and someone says you look like Torres. You would be proper offended. Anyone but Torres, surely.

If Mikhi is out and Rooney is fit, I actually prefer starting with Rooney. Mata is one hell of a super sub. I think no one reads the game better than him from the bench. When he comes on, it's like he knows exactly how to change the game.

The difference in games like this is often hunger to win and the quality of the bench. If there are no injuries, I will like to see Mata, Rashford and Bastian come in to change the game if Southampton proves too hard to crack after the first 55 minutes.
