Haha true... Though I never actually believe what LVG says! He hinted that Schweinsteiger may start but I wouldn't have been surprised to still see him on the bench.

Haha true... Though I never actually believe what LVG says! He hinted that Schweinsteiger may start but I wouldn't have been surprised to still see him on the bench.Ohh Rooney...If Rooney can't score against a CB combo of Steven Taylor and Coloccini, then it's hopeless really.
Did you just see it, he can't score if there is no defense
How many realise Obertan will have the best game of his career today?
.. subbed at half time2-0 - Memphis and Mike - Red for RooneyCan't believe Obertan is still playing football.Any rivers much appreciated?
What was that from Rooney? I know its only a pre match warm up but to hit over like that was a bit weird
Shots on target are barred this season. They give away possession if the goalie catches itLots of people believing that Rooney is going to score multiple goals today.
Exactly this sort of thing was said about Falcao last year and when I asked what logical reason they had for believing Falcao would score...there was no reply.
Yes, its possible. But the probability is extremely low, given that Rooney doesn't actually shoot.
Anyway, I think 2-0 is doable - Memphis is in great form and Januzaj and Mata are also capable of scoring.How much of a captain does Schweinsteiger look like in the tunnel...I really don't give a shit how much of the lineup you spackers predicted right.How the hell did I end up predicting De Gea to start? I must have done it out of pure habit as I hadn't even realised I'd done it.I fecking love how Bastian just pushed Darmian (sp?) to the side and stepped in front of him in the tunnelHas Rooney had a haircut and did he save the bits for more plugs?
Woohoo - feed on for 1 minute and 3 freezesSchweinyWe go for it!The young kid clearly still taking it all in
I agree, the 45 minutes between line-up announcements and the game starting is just a shitfest of "Ah forgot that Fellaini was banned" "Ah I had Carrick over Basti". Should really take it somewhere else IMO. @Niall ?Is there a setting for this thread to automatically update instead of me refreshing the page?These are absolutly awful and we are due to give out a proper beating. 4-0.Doesn't the keeper always come out after the captain?
I might be wrong but it looked weird Romero coming out lastIt's nice to see the German commander starting today.
No.I hope Krul doesn't go into Brad Friedel mode today.FFS, this is the first time i picked the full 11. LVG doesn't make it easy.
A shoutbox would be an awesome feature here in the caf thinkNewcastle giving their full debut to a striker. He is guaranteed to score against us today!
Second last. Memphis comes last.Kick-offThought I had a big decision to make - 90 minutes of Owen or commentary in Polish
Luckily found a Yank channel so could be the slightly less boring Stewart RobsonKick-off
Mitrovic at it immediatelyDamn, was hoping he'd get an early booking againFeels nervous. Why no goal yet?
Fecking boring possession football.Completely forgot McClaren had taken over them. I'm always fairly confident we'll beat Newcastle2 min
Good run forward by Shaw down the left and he's picked out well by Schweinsteiger. Taylor blocks the cross.Good cut in by ShawBasti bossing it from the start.Mitrovic up against Blind could be a worryGood start from us.- Status
