South American players must have 3 names so they just make up something for Forlan every time ;)

I thought Gary Neville would play in order to give him a confidence boost.
 
The Holt article kinda suggested he might not be ready to play again! Either way, it was clear from Alex's interview that he was most angry at Gary - particularly subbing him!
 
Nardiello on the bench, hope he gets another run out, he was very positive when he came on against Maccabi.

I thought so too. According to the radio its not clear if Neville was dropped or "rested".

He doesnt need time off. He needs shooting.

Ruud!!! At the keeper! Too good a chance to waste, and he miskicks another. Not sharp after his injury.

I hope Fortune proves me wrong and has a good game in midfield. He put a good tackle in to break up their move.

Im convinced its Fergies plan to bring him on to a rapturous reception which he will need and deserve.

Great cross by Giggs after a nice ball from Scholes, but Ruud mishits. 3 chances missed by him already - gotta be sharper than that at this level.
 
CMON UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED ....... <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />
 
Sounds as if Rudd is taking Saturday's lack of result seriously and is playing well...

Come on United!

Come on, he's only just come back, give him a few games to get into his stride.

Don't get me wrong, he'll be alright within a few games, this game doesn't matter too much so its being used to get him up to match fitness and sharpness.

LOL! Bloody radio -- at moments like this I think I should look for a new job (in England or Ireland)! At least I will see more football.
