Van der Sar is out for United until mid-September, so Foster will likely be in goal.

Welcome to the forum

Crying with delight of course

It's basically a pre-season game, most pre-season fixtures are part of some competition, such as the World Football Challenge we won last month, and usually, if they are tied after 90 minutes, it goes to penalties. No real reason other than that.

Yeah I agree there, if Ricardo or Alex leaves, we need to keep him here, as we all know how injury-prone Terry is these days!

Pre-season games are about fitness, not results. Carlo's probably just played his 4-1-2-1-2 because he knows it best, and wants to see if it works with the squad. I wouldn't actually be surprised if we saw a change in formation either on Sunday or against Hull.

Completely disagree with you. I'm not going to waste my hard-earned money on buying something I neither need nor want, regardless of whether it's a Chelsea shirt.

Okay, Blueray, thanks for letting us know KTBFFH.

Thanks for the all the comments, guys

I could get through a box of tissues over the mere thought of signing Aguero. Haha, that's fucking sick. True, as well, though.

Well guys, we've done it. 1000 members - what a fantastic achievement! On behalf of the staff I'd like to thank you all for making this forum a fantastic success, with members such as EskWeston, STEV30, Fulham Broadway and company making this forum one of the best sports sites on the internet. Well done to each and everyone of you! And on behalf of all the members, I'd like to say a big well done to Jim for making the site, and along with the rest of the staff, making it a great place to be on. So, well done to you all, and here's to a thousand more! BL.

Yes to both. Riccy looks set to stay, in which case we have 3 right backs and 4 centre-backs. Don't need him just yet, let him go and develop at a top flight club where he is guaranteed a starting position.

You can't base a statement like that on one match. We could play Hull with a 4-4-2 and demolish them.

Looks like its Kalou.

I hope so, he looked very sharp and lively against Milan.

Seriously? You met all those players?!? You lucky thing.

I don't really know what to make of this. If di Santo's going on loan, and we're selling Kalou, either we're keeping both Pizarro and Shevchenko OR we're making that marquee signing.

I was about to say, thought you were on crack or something.

25 million for Kalou? He's not worth 50 p half the time.

Say you've come from Aus and they'll definitely sign it.

In that case I believe you are quite correct! If I remember the East Lower correctly that puts you about 5 metres away from the dugout.

Yep. Remember the 2008 final? 1-1 with United, went straight to penalties. Lost 3-0, Pizarro, Lampard and SWP had their penalties saved by van der Sar, Rooney and Carrick scored two of United's three penalties to win it.

What seat number are you mate? Row F is a great view, I sat there for the Boro game back in January this year, really good view of the pitch.

So his buy out clause is £34 million, nothing too unreasonable

For those who aren't aware, if this game is level after 90 minutes it goes straight to penalties. No extra time
