Was really hoping Lamps would be a sparsely used player this season. He's just not good enough to be a first choice, every match player anymore. He hinders us more than he helps us.

Just like last season, we have all of these flair and possession players yet we can't string together more than 2 passes. We need Mata on to get Hazard into the game.

What is up with Hazard? Get him in the game!

This is so frustrating! Long ball after long ball.

This is so frustrating! Long ball after long ball.

Rooney doesn't look nearly as glum. Looks happy actually.

Lukaku must be thinking "he would rather not play a striker than play me."

Imagine how Lukaku feels right now...

What in the actual FUCK!?

I'm positive Rooney will start. Wouldn't surprise me if he scored and kissed the badge either. Moyes will want to send a message by starting him. Great bit of man management if he does. Start the player who's sulked and missed the entire preseason and drop someone who worked their ass off and played the whole time.

Pissing myself already. The result tonight will either make my week or make me depressed for a few days. Surely wouldn't do the squads confidence any good if we lose this one and against Bayern in the same week.

Wish I could feel excited. I'm nervous as hell.Just imagine how unbearable the internet would be if they won. I'd seriously have to avoid my computer until next weekend.

What if Jose doesn't a little experiment here and partners Lukaku and Torres. Think it would actually give United some problems.

As if we'd even entertain the idea of selling him to Spuds... Unless they offered a straight swap for Bale, that email would be marked as trash as soon as it was seen in Jose's inbox.

It's obviously just that bald bastard Levy trying to pressure Madrid into coughing up a little extra cash. United would never pay £85m or more.

He'll be able to survive using Fergie's team for his first couple of seasons. If he has some success this year or next with these same exact players we'll hear the media fawning as if he had anything to do with it. If they were to win the title for the next couple of years I still wouldn't give Moyes much credit.

Welp. Jose's latest comments about Moyes/Rooney have certainly gone down well over on RedCafe. They're basically raging and calling him bitter and jealous that he didn't get the United job. Saying he's obsessed with them. Don't think I've prayed for a victory harder since the CL final as I am now. I want to beat these cunts so fucking badly. I want to absolutely embarrass this lot and then steal their best player afterwards. PLEASE FOOTBALL GODS!

This would be utterly outrageous and would actually be pretty embarrassing for the club. To LOAN your best player. Thought I'd heard it all. No way we'd be so stupid.

Agree for the most part. I'd have KdB in place of Oscar on the right and possibly Essien for MvG to start.

Did you see him against Villa!? He was absolutely dreadful most if the time. Every pass misplaced and slows our build up play to a crawl.He struggled that mightily against a bottom half side and you think he should start against the defending champs who are at home?

Wish I could calm my nerves about this game. Just have this nightmare visualization of exactly how RvP will score. A ball played along the ground right on the edge of the box that he curls into the top left corner. Really hope Lukaku starts. If I see a lineup with Lukaku starting and Lamps on the bench I'll feel better closer to kickoff.

I see Spuds had to scrape through here with another penalty. A dive for one at that.

So surely one of our striker will be sold if Eto'o is brought in? I still think we should offer Ba + cash for Suarez. Maybe it'll be easier for Liverpool to part with him after seeing that they can win without him and that Sturridge can indeed lead their line. Ba would give them a different type of striker and they get rid of an unhappy player. Win for both sides.

It's almost a given that that smug faced cunt RvP scores, isn't it? He loves scoring against us. Just like the Villa game where we had to worry about a highly dangerous striker, my biggest concern about this match is which CB pairing we go with. One tiny lapse in concentration and RvP will score. I'd take a draw if offered right now.
