Perhaps you feel its your best chance of silverware this season?
Strong Worthy team for you lot...
- Thread starter Davo
- Start date
Well Phil Neville made a kind of Freudian slip on MUTV saying it should be taken seriously as it's a way into Europe.
Things you wish you hadn't said......

At least the players have accepted you're no longer what you were...

Do think Houllier will field a strong team as well, it's his way. Besides the teams don't want to take any unnecessary defeats at this stage of the season. Especially as you're undefeteated against English teams (points losses you obviously have and the Valencia and Basel farce) and I actually put a few quids on you.
Phil Nevilles right, nothing should be taken for granted.

Or lulling you into a false sense of security.
Is it not obvious why we put a strong team out in the Worthy? There is only one way to out do the Treble you know.......

Well that's Leicster out of the way. Come May we'll look back and say that was the game that turned the tide
Although many of us already expect a somewhat stronger lineup in Lecister's game compared to last few seasons before the match, the resulting lineup including Beckham, Gary, Phil, Rio, Ole (and Veron, Scholes on the bench) is still very surprising. What do you think is the reason for Fergie changing his "normal practice"?
1. He get the external pressure from fans or organizer to field a stronger team
2. He think most of the players don't seem tired and there is no need for they to rest.
3. After the trophyless season, Fergie now think that a micky mouse cup is better than nothing at all.
4. He doesn't think other young players besides Nardello, Richardson and Pugh will have any chance to become good enough for us in near future.
5. Other reason.

So you Manc fans want to win the competition or not?
You usually seem to think its beneath you? Sounds like many stayed away from OT last night as well...

Yes well done Martin...
That needed an answer
Hahaha. Oh Davo you do like a laf. How can you dish out stick when the gate was 47848. Now come on, thats not bad is it?
The Worthless Cup IS our lowest priority but its still very useful in giving fringe players a taste of first team action.

Look at the facts:
1) Carroll played in goal, our third choice.
2) GNev has just returned from injury, so could do with the game. Same for Rio.
3) David May, our fifth choice CB had his yearly outing.
4) John O'Shea has not played much recently so could have done with a game.
5) Forlan normally only gets subs appearances.
6) Becks is the strange one, although he is suspended for the weekend which would explain his choice
7) Fortune needs a game.
8) PNev Hardly our first choice?.
9) Ole normally only gets subs appearances.
10) Nardiello gets in for experiences.
Hardly a first team though was it Davo?.

In the past United have fielded a reserve team in a competition both fans and players see as a low priority.The gate is obviously going to be lower than normal as fans can pay £2 to see the same players play in the reserve team on thursdays.
The sponsors and PLC however obviously see things differently and pressure may have been put on so that higher gate figures result.
This does put Fergie in the position of being able to blood youngsters along with seasoned players who need the games through fitness/other problems.
This is all hypothetical of course because I am not connected with anyone inside OT and I went as usual,had a top time as usual,thought the daytrippers were c*nts for not turning up and Davo can shove is windup up his arse.
