Course he would, Fergie used the same midfield three in a game he wanted to go all out attack in, and a game he wanted to defend a 1-0 lead in. Plus Fletcher always plays the big games and the only reason he missed out last season was because of Hargreaves' end of season form.

If that's the case surely he wouldn't have started tonight?
Are you sure you're thinking about football? You clear the ball = no foul, no penalty, no red card!
Fan(atic)= person that will follow and back the team no matter how rubbish they are.
Supporters can be many different things. I will be supporting barca tomorrow because that is how I like football to be played.
Wenger really needs to get some experience into the spine of that team.
They had a lead tonight. I agree with what Baz said earlier- he would have started if Barca reach the final.

We had plenty of players missing worth that
My point is, the players that UTD had come in got the result. Ours who came in didn't. Luck, bad judgement, poor decisions etc. aside, there's a big gap between us and UTD.
Hargreaves cost £17m and won the EPL and CL in his first season,( so increasing his value) and Wes Brown must be worth £20m
edit - oohhh after seeing your reply above I see what you mean
maybe - I think Giggs OR Scholes would get into the final without a doubt just from their experience. While Fletcher didnt deserve it, think it makes SAF's choice a lot easier come late May with Carrick and Anderson able to do the running (and even Park available for a more central position)

Why would I blatantly contradict myself?
I was listing the reasons I thought the ref had a bad game. One of which was the way I felt he wrongly tried to overcompensate the soft decisions he had given in United's favour, with another bad choice to send off Fletcher.
I'm not saying he had a right at all, I'm saying he was wrong on both counts.
He has played the same amount of games as last season and was not in the final last year
You think someone would pay more than 17m for Hargreaves and his spotless injury record? And whilst I'm one of the few who rates Brown, 20m?

Because Hargreaves was fit.
Im pretty sure of it too. Doubt Scholes and Giggs would have started but now with Fletcher missing, one of them will start I think.
The only other change could be Park for Berbatov.
Depends on the opponent tbh though.
Fletcher WOULD have started in the final, I can be 99% sure of that. Only reason he didn't start last years final was because Hargreaves was fit.
Darren Fletcher is top class when he's in the middle with Carrick, he breaks things up and hurries the opposition into making mistakes, as well following funs from midfield (as shown tonigh
) which would have been vital against Barca if they get to the final.

The thing that should worry Arsenal is that in 180 minutes they barely looked a thread in the final third, despite all their possession. If it hadn't been for the penalty, (which shouldn't have been a penalty) they didn't really have a decent in either leg.
I think the ref ruined the game tonight - he gave everything to United in the first half and then stopped play every two seconds in the second half. The whole game went to pieces after the penalty and got very dull. I feel very sorry for Fletcher, whether he would have played the final or not is surely now a moot point. (and don't call me Shirley).
Here's hoping tomorrow night's game is a bit more entertaining.

I think he was referring to Monopoly money
medication is available for a reason.
even if these were boom times Hargreaves would be extremely lucky to fetch half that given his fitness and wes brown is worth 20million rubles at best.
lol who needs to watch comedies.
Henry is probably worth £20m - he isnt exactly injury free either (and a number of other top rate players)
Maybe this is the low point of his career - quite possible OH has a injury free season next season and his value rockets for the right reasons (not just 18 months of 6-8 year career thats gone pretty well)
