I'd joke that it's going to be 19-1, but we'll be lucky to have half that many shots on target, nevermind goals.

Just play the kids. It's a pointless game anyway. Imagine we play the first team and lose a key player before the final.
We need a point to guarantee not having to start our season early.
Winning the FA Cup will guarantee that...
Which isn't guaranteed.
I'd much sooner rest the players tonight for the FA Cup final than go full strength tonight and pick up an injury or two. Tonight matters more for Bournemouth than it does United, which is saying something...So is Pereira in the travelling squad?
There are rarely any guarantees in Cup finals. We need to get the point tonight and not risk facing strong opposition at the end of August. Way we're playing I'd say it's only 50/50 on Saturday.
It makes sense.
His target is to score 1 goal, whether the game was played last weekend or tonight. So the tactics or line-up shouldnt need to be changed.
There is also enough time for players to recover for the Cup Final...which actually should be a walkover.
When we played Crystal Palace a few weeks ago, they were dire. I mean 'relegation form' dire.
Now, if we plan to score 19 goals...he'll need to make drastic changes.
Van Gaal would be an idiot to risk the Cup final starters for this dead rubber.What's that supposed to be?
Yeah...but that was under Fergie.
Under LVG, 1 or 2 goals should be expected. Anything more would be a minor miracle.Hoping Pereira starts
Official Match Day Poster. The team does one for each game.We'd need half a season for this to be possible.The most pointless game in my life time watching United. Feck off LVG.Story is he's playing the same team that was supposed to play on Sunday
The man is bonkers
"philosophy". I fecking hate it.Story is he's playing the same team that was supposed to play on Sunday
The man is bonkers
Well at least that's easy points in the lineup prediction league.Story is he's playing the same team that was supposed to play on Sunday
The man is bonkers
Nah, that still wouldn't be enough
insane. This game should be cancelled, what do we have to play for? Ok it's nice for the away fans, so I will accept that.
For a second there I thought we'd signed CM Punk.United squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Varela, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson, Carrick, Herrera, Mata, Pereira, Memphis, Young, Lingard, Martial, Rooney, Rashford.
Squad is exactly the same as Sundays.How many matches this season have we even had 19+ shots? Can anyone be arsed checking? A normal amount for most big clubs to surpass in a match but I suspect we have done it very rarely.Not sure ill even watch. just pointless all round.
Posted in the M.E.N. they do it by seeing who goes into the Lowry Hotel. So it is correct.He's going to try to get the 19 goals isn't he?
I don't see why. Do we not care about European football then?
We have it anyway, just that we want it with a bit more of a summer break. An F.A. Cup win would clinch it with a nice shiny trophy as well though.Priority 1 - Avoid injuries
Priority 2 - Avoid picking up any slight knocks
Priority 3 - Avoid picking up niggles of any kind
Priority 4 - Don't lose.
Yeah I can't remember a more meaningless game as long as I've been a United supporter.
Can't wait!Pointless? We'll make history here today. 20-0!I kind of understand that the coaches and squad have done their prep for playing Bournemouth, and hence it'd be weird to change things now.
But if Martial/DeGea get hurt...man...If we win the FA Cup it doesn't matter if we finish 5th or 6th as we will be in the group stage of the Europa League so will be very surprised if LvG actually plays any of the players who start on saturday.Pointless addition - if this was Spain we'd just need a win to secure top 4.
Not-so pointless addition - even a draw at West Ham would have meant only need a win today. Totally bottled this.
Lads, it's United.They will be up for this. They can rise an extra 2 places if they win. 10-0 to them and it's 3 places.
I'd honestly rather not be in Europa. Needless distraction. We aren't good enough to win it anyway.
Liverpool are in the final and they're shite...- Status
