    Not really sure, its a word I'd use quite often. Usually to describe a GAA player who hasn't risen beyond Club senior level, with little skill but bucket loads of honest endeavour and enthusiasm.

    Nothing like a good mullicking corner back.

    google returns your use of mullicking from an hour ago at about 3rd of 4th highest search result for it :D

    wonder will we see a few rested at the weekend

    I would like to see Evra and Rooney rested

    hopefully fabio might be back from injury and give owen and berb some more game time, I think they make a great striking partnership

    I dunno. I prefer the John Giles approach where you start your best team and then take Rooney/Evra off after an hour when we are hopefully 2-0 up. We'll see. Is this on tv ?

    Same as. I keep thinking of the last time we played at Molineux, the last game before Rio's ban started (IIRC). We lost 1-0 and Kenny Miller scored. Pretty much ended the title for us that season.

    Think we should go with near enough our strongest team. They're fit enough to play 2 games a week at the end of the day.

    Facht.

    We should go near enough to full strength as we can.

    Also "The One" should get about 30 mins if the result is going the right way for us.

    Rumours that Pato will play against Utd next week. Apparently back in training.

    you say that but when Rooney played 90mins for england and evra around 80mins for France (irrc) they do need a rest imo, especially evra has played nearly every game for us excluding the CC

    No disrespect to Wolves but we should be beating them handy enough also we can always have them on the bench just incase

    I would agree if it was at Old Trafford but I think that's too huge a risk to do at Molineux. Don't forget they managed to beat Spurs there a few weeks ago and also got a 0-0 draw with Liverpool.

    Full Strength teams from now on. Better to take Rooney off after 60 mins with us 2/3 nil up than a repeat of the Leeds game.Were out of the FA cup so will have 1/2 weekends off. We can also rotate players by playing 4-4-2 at home in some games.

    We won't be having any more weekends off, just less midweek makeup games.

    dont think we can afford to rest players right now

    i know the thinking behind it, but id rather go hell for leather at the start, try get a couple of goals up and then the players who need a little break can have one

    If Owen was fit it would be a more appealing choice, but with him injured i dont think there is any option but to play Rooney

    Rooney seems to be one of those guys, a bit like Lampard that doesn't seem to get tired from playing twice a week over a sustained period. If anything he plays better when he plays constantly.

    Full strength team for me, a win puts United top.

    Hopefully Berba can keep up his recent form :) Suggestions for team lads? This is mines;
    VDS

    Rafael
    Vidic
    Evans
    Evra

    Valencia---Carrick----Fletcher
    Nani----
    Berbatov
    Rooney

    I will be wrong somewhere no doubt! Nani is back from his ban isn't he?

    Can't see him ousting Valencia on the right, Park has played alot recently, Nani will be fresh and can see it happening.
