Great minds eh Whalers, you got us losing 5-0?

3-0 to Chelsea. We don't look like scoring atm and I expect Drogba to bag 2 and Cole to get the other.

I think it could be a shit day tbh.

I can see that, Chelsea have been outstanding in recent weeks, knocking 3 or 4 a game in. Your asessment seems accurate.

Glad you're on my side.

Sofa most likely. All my money is going on my apartment at the moment so don't have much spare cash.

I may - stress may - make it into a pub but since the 3/4 Utd lads I know are off to the game I'll be surrounded by @#%&!s who want Chelsea to win. That happened last time vs Arsenal and I ended up sparking two lads out at a mates BBQ.

Fortunately these two lads weren't exactly invited, were friends of some other @#%&! and deserved to be punched. I received a generous round of applause before tucking into a double M&S burger with cheese.

Same here.

Brown gets nod over O'Shea because he's better. Evra over Heinze because he offers better balance coming forward.

Fletcher over Smith up front becauses he offers a little more in his role, gives the midfield extra protection and because he deserves his place.

I see a tight, tense, niggly game.

1 goal either way.

There's very little between us so the personal battles are important and any players missing through injury for them are a bonus.


Must be disciplined and work hard as our foundation and then our flair players must excell themselves and we must play our own game.

My concern is that Chelsea might just want it that little bit more.

1-0 to Chelsea for me.

Sorry.

Fletcher to start. Giggs has to perform, unless I'm missing something I think he's been rather poor for about month now. Little pace, poor control and passing.

8-0 to Chelsea.

O'Shea for Fletch.

Well the "stupidest post of the day" awards been won early today.

oshea at full back instead of brown.

on this point, Evening Standard in London reckon Bridge will start in place of Cole...

Not sure what to make of that. I think Bridge is playing far better than Cole at the moment and offers more going forward but Cole is pretty good at stopping Ronaldo so maybe it's a good thing.

Really? I've not noticed? I've seen him have the piss taken, then claim he's had him in his pocket and £#%&! all else from him.
