Scholes has been on a downward spiral for a number of months now, it's quite embarrassing to see actually. Some of his passing was woeful.

I would have much preferred to see Fletcher and Carrick start in the middle with Ronaldo and Giggs/Nani outwide.

O'Shea has been shocking just recently, I really do hope we get Rafael back quickly. Ferdinand's 80 year old back problems are also a major worry.

Porto were really good, I'm quietly confident of getting a victory in Portugal.

Neville, O'Shea, Vida and Evra at the back then.

IMO it's because Sunday's game was more of a must win than last nights. We have two legs over Porto whereas we only had the one chance v Villa.

Plus it gave Tevez an extra days rest to get back from Bolivia as he was leading the attack.

Bloody hell.



Hope O'Shea has a better game than last night, could do with a big score being posted against the mackems.

You do?

God he was awful last night, as were the rest of the back four.

Shouted myself horse.

Probably just a little more than you.



The goal difference is crucial to us. It may not be crucial to you come the end of the season but just in case, feel free to knock four or five past them!

Because Bacon Face wanted to, simple as.

Picks itself really, are the twins both injured?

It was only entertaining cos man utd were shocking

Rafael is, and Fabio didn't play versus Newcastle last week.

Brown did play 30odd minutes, so he maybe given a chance v Sunderland at CB with Neville at RB.

Does that make Murdoch Ferguson's biatch?

I wouldn't have thought so, his other option was Sat dinner as far as I'm aware, no matter what date was picked, it was going on TV, as per Murdoch's requirements.
