Reckon 2-0 United don't think Blackpool will break the United Defense.

LuckyGent88

why the **** pick vidic, Evra and Park

Just asking for trouble

Liveonlinefooty.com already have the coverage on for anyone interested.

James Forde

Why play vidic, why?

jaykay74

If Charlie Adam repeats his Gareth Bale breakup trick I will be p!ssed off. Lucky he is not that type of player.

Especially Vidic.

I suppose he rested the whole team before the final in '09 and probably regretted it. He mentioned in an interview last week that we wants to keep all the players ticking over.

starbelgrade

I'm not that surprised at the line-up for United. Ferguson indicated during the week that he wanted to play a lot of first team players in order to keep them sharp in the run up to the Barcelona game.

To paraphrase Vinny Jones - with VDS & possibly Scholes playing their last ever Premier League games for the club - it's gonna be emotional.

Evra I can kind of understand. When was his last game ? Few weeks ago at this stage. Could do with 60/70 min. The other 2 is madness.

Blatter

Fully expect Vidic to be whipped off at half time.

I just rather take the chance on any of the 1st team tbh, why risk crucial players at this stage

madness imo

He's not the type of player to do it on purpose but he's exactly the type to go in full blooded and rashly into tackles.

Nailz

I'd say Gibson, Smalling and Owen will come on for Scholes, Vidic and Park.

dahat

Definately think VDS will get taken off to get the standing ovation he so richly deserves...
Scholes will get the same too,am assuming he is retiring!!

He's not, said yesterday he would stick around another year

Blatter

No PIG on the bench. Will he make the squad for the CL final or will Lindegaard take his place again?

Blatter

No he didn't, Ferguson said that he is hopeful that Schloes will stay on. Scholes hasn't opened his mouth as usual.

Quandary

Come on Berba, lets see u pick up the boot!

Drumpot

This game has the look of goals goals goals . .

As a united fan I have mixed feelings. I dont want our home record to be blemished, but I want Blackpool to stay up.

I think Blackpool have been a superb addition to the EPL and are a better team (for neutrals) then any of the potential other teams that might go down . .

SantryRed

Guard of honour? What a load of sh1te.

mink_man

I'm not liking park and evra playing. Too risky imo.

LuckyGent88

wish i was there

Because they have a huge game to play. They have something to play for here. A guard of honour when entering the pitch is the biggest load of sh1te. Completely agree with the end of the game, but not at the beginning.

Why, whats wrong with that?

Pretty fitting considering Utd have won the title that makes them the most succesfull club in the history of the English top flight league.

Old Trafford looks incredible :eek:

Think Utd did it for Chelsea few years back and they did the same for Utd a year or so later. Just a bit of respect for the best team in the league this season I guess.

Ray Wilkins. Fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuu

Yes, and I completely agree with that as neither team had anything to play for in those games. I just think with Blackpool having something to play for it's not what they should have done.

when Blackpool could be relegated and the players will be in bits clearly better at the start.

mink_man

Fergie will be making a speech to the fans at the end won''t he? I love it!

Quandary

Scholes - what are u at?

Blackpool really should have scored there...

Jordonvito

Keith Southern just missed a sitter, good work by adam

SantryRed

Should be 1-0 to Blackpool.

mink_man
