that said, i £#%&!ing love watching wayne play so i hope he starts.

it would make sense to rest Wazza and save something for the weekend,
Berbs and Owen should offer enough up front to come back with the points and give us a good start to the group stage.

good call. Rooney can always come on for the last half hour or more if needs be. Berbatov should definitely start the game given its location next door to his home, and Owen has the experience of dealing with a hostile crowd or two ( ) .... not really one for the young 'uns this.

He needs more games, and he should be playin in more reserve matches if he isnt even coming on as a sub in the first team, wouldnt mind seeing him go to south africa in the summer just to piss a lot of people off!

I would rest Rooney for this one, maybe give him the 30 mins if needed.

Need him up for it at the weekend.
