I really can't wait for Chelsea to win and Nick to come in and proclaim this means the title is lost next season and we'll be mid table.

Arsenal are winning the league so far.

Another 7 goal drubbing, okay they are only **** Asian teams but at least Giroud is getting some shooting practice.

City lose again?

Man Utd kick off at 10:30 this morning against an A-League All Stars team. Van Persie and De Gea have joined the tour so we may see some goals this time! Hope Zaha starts.

80,000 people for a pre season game :eek:

Be good for Zaha to experience what that's like.

100,000 for our game in Melbourne next week

Shamikebab · 20 Jul 2013 at 10:28

United: Lindegaard; Rafael, Ferdinand, Jones, Evra; Zaha, Carrick, Cleverley, Lingard; Giggs; Welbeck.

Welbeck solo striker again, no Van Persie

Moyes already said he will play the second half as we've been over training him to catch his fitness back up. He's been doing extra.

Yeah I thought that might be the case, just frustrating that we're missing so many attacking players. Keen to see what Lingard and Zaha can do.

Giggs off Welbeck, Giggs has to play he's a superstar in Aus.

It's not a bad team seeing as RvP will be playing the second half like Bucket says.

Ah that little girl is holding Zaha's hand so he doesn't get scared

Shamikebab · 20 Jul 2013 at 10:36

That kid in front of Jones is huge!

Perhaps he could be the big man up front the Nick says we always need

Shamikebab · 20 Jul 2013 at 10:37

Rooney looks a bit different.

That was Rayne Rooney.

Shamikebab · 20 Jul 2013 at 10:40

I'm so confused, we have a right winger who can beat people :eek:

Shamikebab · 20 Jul 2013 at 10:45

That was nice by Welbeck and Lingard, finish was tame though.
