So...as things stand right now, what is your starting XI (& subs) for the first day of the season?

Not Owen the cougar, no.

Owen the athlete, the ambassador, the icon

Captain Charisma.

Is he supposed to be good?

Giggs
Welbeck
Owen
.

just. not. good. enough.

thats not a manchester united team. remember when we were so good we could field two teams.

rooney and berbatov blow hot and cold anyway and never get in the box. nani is unpredictable and valencia has never played for a top team.

who will nani and co be putting balls in the box for with berbs around the half way line or dropping deep like he has been doing ALL the time he is in england-not just at united-?
will rooney be the furthest man forward? (goes against the notion of him playing in his best position doesnt it...i.e. behind the front man)

that team doesnt ooze quality at all and we all know it.

how many word class players have we got in that team who can stake claims for being the best in their position??? (pay attention to the attacking players...)


compare and contrast

the 07/08 squad

vds

brown

Nothing against Serbia but isn't that like saying he's the mexican Steven Spielberg?

No I just like the composition of two Js and an L on the back of my shirt tbh.

Mexican Cinema is hugely under-rated you know. Honestly.

So is Phil Jageilka but that doesn't mean he's good enough for one of Europe's greatest clubs.

Yeah I am, there I was innocently waiting for Sir Michael of Owen's glorious interview to come back on, and we sign the Jagster..this is what it's like to be world champions.

I think Owen will play more games than we think

I think Rooney is a superb out and out centre forward.

paul scholes been sold then?

not even on your bench.

His days are numbered.

Earth to Chorlton, come in Chorlton.

He's about as mobile as a mountain.

maybe so, but still worthy of a place in the line up, albeit on the bench at least.
