Blackburn V Manchester United

Headshot

V

Saturday 14th May

KO 12:45 BST

Live on Sky Sports and other fine Foreign channels


A long time since I did a match day thread but I had to do it for this match, could be one of the most significant days in man utd's history. I cant wait

Possible starting XIs:

Blackburn: Robinson, Emerton, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, J Jones, N'Zonzi, P Jones, Hoilett, Roberts.

Man Utd: Kuszczak, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Park, Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney, Hernandez.

That_Guy

Man United will walk this.

I hope to see that starting 11 for Utd, no messing. 2 early goals and the party can start. Haven't seen much of Rovers recently put apparently they struggle with pace so Hernandez and Valencia are vital. The leagues top scorer and the leagues player with most assists can come on later and play next weekend.

Jax Teller

This is on early isn't it ?

Never mind 12.45 in the op it says

The_Kew_Tour

Im going to say 3-1 to Man United

My mate is Blackburn fan so wont hear the end of it if they beat us but I hope they stay up.

I fancy this as starting lineup

PIG
o Shea Rio Vidic Evra
Valencia Carrick Anderson Nani
Chico Rooney(just ahead of Berba)

Yeah I thinks its because the FA are holding a match at Wembley later in the day. Not sure of the details.

I want to see Nani start this one, and maybe give Toni a little rest, starting to get worried that Nani will leave if he doesn't get more game time before end of season.

LuckyGent88

Hope Rooney and Valencia get a rest for Berba and Nani. Berba so he gets top scorer and Nani needs game time just for confidence anyway.

United 2 nil

Heard about that alright , two mickey mouse teams playing though.

Banker home win....maybe not. A draw..... nah. Away win..... probably.

Woody_FX

Utd gonna stomp all over Rovers.

I've had nothing against Rovers before, but since the Venkies and then Kean arrived as manager I've really taken a dislike to them. Hope they go down this season and get rid of that crowd.

Exams on a Saturday should be outlawed.

Skip it and claim extenuating circumstances.

I've an Irish exam at 09:00, but I'll be home in time for kick-off.
That said, I would love to lie-in and wake up fresh for the game!

That's not too bad. I'll be up till 3 or 4 playing championship manager and on this and then lie in till 12:D

Is Evra expected back?

He's doubtful, I'd be surprised if he was risked. O'Shea is doubtful also.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Fabio at LB and Rafael at RB. Although Evans may come in at LB like he did against Chelsea.

Frisbee

United to hammer them.

3/4-0

Johnstone's Paint Trophy I think...:p

Think we'll do it handy enough tomorrow. Hope to see Fletcher back tomorrow. Gonna be tough to get him match sharp for Barca.

PHB

I hope Berbatov and Nani get the nod to start myself. They deserve to be on the pitch for the win, should we win.

Grayditch

3-0 / 3-1 United.

jdooley28

Doubt giggs, evra o'shea or VDS will feature 'till barcelona game. We have a strrong enough squad to wrap this up without them, Doubt we will b at full strength 2moro. Maybe Kuzchek, Fabio, Vidic, Smalling, Evans, valencia, carrick, anderson, nani, berba, rooney. No need to risk rio

Paully D

0-2 and a job well done for Manchester United.

Rebel Boy

I'm waiting patentily here in melbourne for kick off time. Nerves starting to kick in. We should win today. I just wana get it outa the way and let the party begin .

daveyboy_1ie

In Thailand on my honeymoon so just waiting for 6.45 pm local time, perfect time to go to pub and watch it.

Been as good as gold since last Sunday, so just have to break it gently to the wife now we are leaving our lovely resort to go into town and sit in a pub for the night

Am not a total bloke, I'll buy her those drinks with mini umbrellas she loves so much

Nailz

On the Dundalk bus to the airport at the moment, can't wait till the game, hopefully the atmosphere is as good as last year. Come on United!

Valencia needs another appearance to qualify for a league medal , I'd say he'll play some part.

Today could be the day. Blackburn always give us a tough game at their place but fingers crossed we'll get the points to secure no 19.

If that happens it's major party time.

Surely you must mean Football Manager? Its the real Champo of old, just name changed, same company making it.

#MUFC v Blackburn: Kus, Fabio, Vidic, Rio, Evans, Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Chicharito" strong team.

: Blackburn lineup: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, P Jones, Givet, Emerton, J Jones, Nzonzi, Olsson, Hoillet, Roberts."

Really, what did Berba do to deserve this?

And Rafael, he must still be carrying a slight injury or something...

Jax Teller

Headsot you only got 2 wrong in the op . Nice

Nalz

Hope yee all have a great day and United get the point(s).

Brothers wedding today so gonna miss the game

MagicMarker

Surprised at the team, Fergie taking no chances for once. I like it.

PHB

Seems like Fergie wants this over, right now. While I'd prefer a nice easy victory, there's a part of me that really wants Berbatov to come on to get the winner.

I don't think so, I think Fabio has just overtaken him.

Technically 2 wrong(Fabio for Rafael);):pac:

Jax Teller

Rafael played badly during the week for the reserves apparently , fabio has been top notch so wouldnt even notice , Vds has a elbow injury so mitch said yesterday

Mr.Crinklewood

Subs

Amos, Evra, Owen, Anderson, Berbatov, Smalling, Scholes.

That_Guy

Very strong line up from Man United. Should have this in the bag I'd say.

MIN2511

That's a very strong team Fergie has there....


I expected Berba and Owen to start

helimachoptor

United to go a couple up and the changes to be made I'd say

Rikand

Come on Rovers!

Yeah, but still a very surprising team. I thought Giggs would be on the bench. I thought Hernandez would too.
I just pray for no injuries over anything else today tbh.

Predalien

Very strong team for Utd, considering their away form though I doubt Ferguson wanted to take any chances, I'll go for a Utd win but only by a single goal.

Insect Overlord

Well, I just got home from my last ever college exam. Perfect day for us to win the league.

Come on United!

Will they lift the trophy today? If they get that point?!
