Not that bad. 2 of the games are at home... Bayern Munich's next 2 weeks is what I would called brutal...
Sat. 27 14:30 UK Bayern Munich v VfB Stuttgart
Tue. 30 19:45 UK Bayern Munich v Manchester United
Sat. 3 14:30 UK Schalke 04 v Bayern Munich
Wed. 7 19:45 UK Manchester United v Bayern Munich
Sat. 10 17:30 UK Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich
League Table:
1 Bayern Munich 27 10 4 0 28 10 6 4 3 26 14 30 56
2 Schalke 04 27 10 2 2 25 10 6 5 2 19 12 22 55
3 Bayer Leverkusen 27 10 3 0 32 10 4 8 2 24 18 28 53
We are away to Bayern but then have 3 full days to recover from that game before Chelsea and then another 4 days before our home tie against Bayern not too brutal really. I think Fergie may rest a couple of players against Bolton, possibly Fletcher and maybe Rooney.

i dont understand why people go on about players getting tired. you do know that some people swim everyday, go running everyday, play football everyday, etc. they have adequate rest, 3 or 4 days between games with possibly 1 or 2 training sessions in between which means they should have a day either side of full rest, so long as the players are eating and sleeping right then they should never get tired. my uncle is mid 40's and usually plays 4 times a week, of which 2 of the games are in 2 different 5 a side leagues, 1 of which his team are current champions. these games although only last 30 minutes, they are constant action unlike 11 a side. on top of that he weight trains nearly every day and goes for a run every morning at 5.30 am. on top of all this he has his own business's and a life. so i dont like the excuses fans use when they say their team is tired.

I would wager the intensity in top flight football is much higher and that any slight fatigue can't be hidden like it might be in amateur football.

agreed
no doubt the away tie with munich is going to be pretty tough, as are the 2 home games, but i'm sure we can manage it
Thing is, it's all relative though. Undoubtedly its a tough week 'On Paper' but I'm sure both Chelsea and Bayern are thinking that one of the last team they would want to face right now is Utd as well. If you want to be the best you got to beat all the good teams.
Predictions for me
Bayern 2 - 1 Utd
Utd 1 - 1 Chelsea
Utd 2 - 0 Bayern

So where are the hard games?
To be the best you have to beat the best.
Itys just another day in the office

Bayerns week is a lot worse now!
They've been done over by Stuttgart at home, they are away at (new) league leaders Schalke and 3rd place Leverkusen either side of playing Utd...
I love this sort of thing. This could ruin our whole season if we **** up all 3 games but at the same time it could be amazing. As mentioned, you have to beat the best to be considered the best.
I dont adhere to the idea that the path of least resistance is the best one in football competitions. You want to see your side topple giants not crush minnows.

Bayern arent exactly the best are they. Utd have got a nice backdoor passage to the CL final.
Only the Chelski game is a tough one and they are at home for that. So at least you will get a penalty out of it
4 - 5 - 1 tomorrow night against Bayern
VDS
Neville (possibly Fabio/Rafael) Rio Vidic Evra
Valencia Fletcher Carrick Scholes Park
Rooney
(Im torn at right back only because I think SAF will want experience in that position for the two latter games, and with the run of games GN has done recently he may well be rested tomorrow night, baring in mind his age /recuperation time)
