Maybe 30m man to miss the final 18? And Owen on the bench because he would be much more needed when we need a goal?
Barcelona vs. Manchester United
- Thread starter VidaRed
- Start date
Scholes?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh. Sorry, just had to get that out of my system.
Players will sometimes tell someone, who tell someone else etc. until it reaches a journo. Or they could just be lying.
Sir Bobby is in midfield.
ffs! Changing things on final day?
Whatever it maybe, trust in the manager.
I'd actually love to see how Sir Bobby would take on that Barca midfield
Cold, windy and wet.
Messi's dead.
Messi's dead.
I fear for my own health, and I'm 20...
Lineups expected 6.45?
I hope my dream does not come true that woke me up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Getting really nervous now.... dont think my heart will survive a penalty shootout.
Confirmed lineup:

Patrick Barclay says it is Fletcher.
The key to beating Barca is.... a Chupa Chups lolly!
I wouldn't be surprised to see:
-----------VDS----------
----Rio---Vidic----Smalling---
Valencia--------------Evra
-----Carrick----Anderson---
Nani-------Hernandez-----Rooney

nickcoppack Rumours around the Wembley press box that Sir Alex has "sprung a major surprise" in his team selection. Something that would make you gasp.
Gibson? 3-4-3? Fletcher?
Giggs has to play he's been our stabndout player in the CL
Love Fletcher to bits but I'm gonna be really dissapointed if he starts, he can't be ready for a game like this. Hernandez and Rooney need to start together.
Nani and Valencia on the same flank? Rooney out wide on the left?
Somehow I dont see it.
Valencia at RB wouldnt surprise me either.
Ask yourself would Fergie start him if he didn't think he was ready.
Surprise for me would be Owen starting and Hernandez on the bench.
would not have a problem with that at all. Remember, this will be a game pf phases. I just think we still need to be in contention with 20 mins to go and then anything is possible. If we are drawing or even losing by a goal with 25 mins left and can then bring a fresh Hernandez (Berbatov), Nani (Valencia) and Scholes (Giggs), then its all ours still for the taking.
We have to remember we are wiser about playing Barcelona and we more than anybody knows that the game lasts until the very final whistle. We need to keep calm, have faith that SAF knows what he is dong and as SAF himself said, trust our players.
SO PLEASE: No bickering or any of that shite once the team sheets are announced!!! IN SAF I TRUST
Not registered even.
It must be Fletcher that is the surprise.
Edit: Valencia at RB, with Nani as winger, not bad guess either.

GlennMoore7 At Wembley, with what looks to be the entire English football media corps. Rumour is Berba's not even made the bench.
That's why it would make us gasp.
That wouldnt be a surprise tbh. I'm half expecting it anyway.
CL final rumour from the Indy's Glenn Moore: Berbatov not even on bench
Gutted for him if true. But again it means that Owen will be on the bench, which I'll be happy with.
Who is Glenn Moore?
I heard that too, about Berba. Hope it's not true.
Owen would be more useful in a penalty shoot-out over Berbatov, hes pretty good from the spot.
Owen off the bench would be more effective than Berba but will be gutted for Dimi if he doesn't make the bench.
Sounds like a brand of Scotch.
I told you first about Berba!
I've been reasonably to keep my mind off it since yesterday(exams and all), but nerves are really starting to kick in now.
We must all remember, Sir Alex Ferguson is the most experienced Champions League Manager alive. He has masterminded our side in 3 finals already FFS! He is a tactical genius and on top of that has real life experience to draw upon that no other manager in world football has.
He is surrounded by men who understand the game and our club and has the vey latest technology and science at bis disposal. I have no doubt whatsoever that he will have devised a strategy that will be capable of beating barcelona.
Whatever 11 he sends out and whatever substitutions he makes, i don't care if Barcelona play like they have never done before, as long as our players can perform as instructed by SAF and to the optimum of their capabilities, then we will win.
So do as SAF says and Big Ears no 4 is ours.
