Shall we expect some more horrendous officiating today then? like in every big game we've had this season?

i think we should at least prepare to use it as an excuse

Indeed.

The thought of Wes and Vidic against arsenal's quick mobile passing is not the most pleasant of thoughts.

Even with United's aging squad, Park should only be used in games against shit teams or as a sub. He shouldn't be starting against good sides IMO. 4-5-1 alone is plenty negative enough, without needing to play Park.

Who would you leave out to make way for him? Nani, Valencia, or Giggs?

Tis true. We should trust Nani, even Obers to do a job in terms of getting back and creating something offensively.

It's not as if Arsenal have an Henry/Pires-type player anymore anyway.

i can understand the continued selection of nani, he has played well the last few games and deserves his place, to drop him would only be detrimental but no way has valencia deserved to be left out of the last few games.

we'll struggle without giggs too. he's been the spark all season.


74-0 to arsenal.

A bit of a rest for Valencia, he's been practically ever present since he arrived.
