I'm quite surprised to see Garcia get the nod. I thought he might be overlooked due to his annoying habit of giving the ball away.

He is there to score a dodgy goal. Come on.

Anyone having a punt on this? I'm considering Carra for the first goal and 2-3 within the 90 minutes. Madness, I hear you say? 5000-1 you hear me reply. Gotta love wildly optimistic gambling. I reckon I'll have a ton on it.*

I thought you had a ticket Paul?

Yes, so did I. The lad who promised (yes, promised) it to me has disappeared off the face of the earth - although I reckon I know where he'll be in round about 25 mins. I wouldn't be so arsed if he'd just phoned and said sorry. Gutted, really, as this will be some match.

It's a bitch when you get let down. I thought I was gonna get one myself but the lad who's got it has been far more matches than me this year, so no complaints really.

My complaint is that he offered it to me in return for a pretty significant bit of support I gave him in work. To be fair, he sorted me out for every CL match this season and a few league matches too. It's just the ducking out of telling me that pissed me off a bit.

The best team available, simple as really.

 

Its gonna be very interesting to see who plays second striker and who plays wide right.

 

Moro and Cisse know the pecking order now, Crouch being Numero uno.

I wouldn't have thought there's any doubt. It'll be Gerrard on the right and Lil' Luis up front.

Luis Garcia is shit. FACT.

 

[EDIT: no he isn't but, ffs, Anne Frank could have put that one away. From her grave.]

 

Kewell has been immense.

 

Chelsea are still a graceless bunch of cunts. How anyone on the planet can hate United more than this lot, I dunno. It's baffling.

 

Dodgy freekicks ftw, but we shold have had a pen when Cudicini took Crouchy out.

 

45 minutes to go COME ON YOU RED MEN!!!!!!

Very satisfying first half. Thank fuck we didn't end up getting ripped off by the shite offside decision on Drogba early on. We've been pretty comfortable. Why the fuck has The Translator picked this side? At the very least, I expected it to be a destructive job on Xabi, but that isn't happening. Where's their width? Where are their match winners? What the fuck is he playing at?

 

Oh, and Harry Kewell: runnin' tings.

My first though when I saw that Chelsea team was the same; Moronho has finally lost the plot. Their wingers are their strenght and he's left them all out. I bet we'll see some of them on from the break.

 

 

edit: Kewell has been ace, so has Gerrard in my opinion.

The Red Nick Trick works everytime as when the freekick was been taken I said Gerrard stick in the back of the net and dont let Riise anywhere near the ball ;)

 

As for the game we were second best until the goal and lucky not to be one or two nil down but since the goal we have been the better team.

 

Hopefully Garcia wont need to be the sacrificial scape goat at the end of the game.

 

Lets hope we keep the ball better than we have in the other big games against chelsea because if we keep the ball we will win.
