About Mata. "Hed probably take michael carricks place in the team due to them being a similar style of player."

This dude clearly doesnt know what the hell he is talking about.

United over the last few seasons - Average squad but with depth, managed by a great man manager and tactician.

Just my opinion

that is every1's opinion.

[NishC300 1,865]

No I just think he is a joke in the footballing world, come on seriously, people were annoyed Rafa was Chelsea manager the man had won lots of things and led us to Europa League victory after everything, but this guy has won nothing.

The thing that astounds me, this is a chelsea forum so why does everyone love DeGea and Moyes, its crazy. I really thought if Fergie ever left there would be a large list of candidates and i think the world was astounded this guy got it straight away.

What wonderful credentials did he have to warrant such an appointment?? Nothing, he is has no affiliation with Utd at all. The fact he inheritered

Please let's forget it, I really dont like these petty arguments, it is my opinion, that is yours lets move on.

Who do you think Jose will pick up front?

Some people here are so desperate to be unbiased. One guy said the reason we won the title in 09/10 was because we got an incorrect free kick when we played United at the Bridge. Yes, because Macheda's handball goal and Evans' horror challenge shouldn't even be mentioned.

De Gea isn't fit to lace Cech's boots.

Since you are my favorite poster, here´s one if I may. Have a brewskie, but just one. you don´t want to get bombed before the show starts though.

Somehow, we are not allowed to get our words of wisdom to challenge those manures here. I guess, Chelsea needs to whip them tonight to prove our points, then.

Although i am really excited about the match, but the FA or the Premier Leagues or whoever is responsible for the fixtures date really messed up. I mean, the charm and anticipation on a Sunday is nowhere near to that of Monday. One of the biggest matches of the league and you schedule it on Monday. Idiots.

I think the game will end 1-1. Mata I think is sure to start, along with Rami, Hazard and Ba. Lampard I don't think should start but he will anyway.

This line up looks likely:

Cech

Iva-Terry-Luiz-Cole

Rami-Lamps

Mata-Oscar-Hazard

Ba

Terry will have a big game

[edetarod 2,155]

my prediction:

our "strikers" won't score any goals

Ba and Moses are out. Loan moves maybe?

[Ankit 3,176]

No, it is not! The fact that it's a late kick off is what pisses me off! You can't even concentrate properly at work, if they want a late kick off, why can't they have it on a Sunday?

I'm saying it from my perspective.

Perfect for me.

Yes, I'm selfish.

[Pizy 18,918]

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

Where did you hear that, mate?
