Boxing Day Football **SPOILERS**

[Ripper]

My first spoiler thread in quite a while Anywho lets get this xmas bull**** out of the way and focus on the important stuff.

Barclays Premier League
Aston Villa v Arsenal, 17:15 (Sky Sports 1)
Chelsea v West Brom, 13:00
Liverpool v Bolton, 15:00
Man City v Hull, 15:00
Middlesbrough v Everton, 15:00
Portsmouth v West Ham, 13:00
Stoke v Man Utd, 12:45 (Sky Sports 1)
Sunderland v Blackburn, 15:00
Tottenham v Fulham, 13:00
Wigan v Newcastle, 15:00

With Scholes back it wouldn't surprise me if he started, but personally i'd like to see:

VdS
Rafael - Vidic - Ferdinand - O'Shea
Ronaldo - Carrick - Anderson - Nani
Berbatov - Rooney

The atmosphere at Stoke will be electric though, I remember watching them earlier in the season and the TV microphones were getting distorted because the crowd were so loud, god knows what it'll be like to tomorrow if United don't score early.

Really rubbish performance from United today. Knew we'd struggle when I saw the team sheet, why Carrick didn't start is beyond me, he should be playing every game. You don't see Lampard getting rested randomly.

Rooney was lucky to stay on the pitch, no idea what the linesman was watching. Still, 3 points is 3 points, onwards and upwards.

Aye I thought Ramsey looked a little out of his depth at times, needs another season in the carling cup I reckon.
