Now the pleasantries of the FA Cup thread are over the real war begins.
I remember getting abuse for posting these midweek
The weekend isn't even over and you've posted this! Haha
I can't think of a reason it would matter? If it's not good enough someone else can do it.
No, I never understood why it mattered but it didn't stop people giving me **** for it

Fully expect Rooney to be fit, especially after Fergie re-emphasizing he'll miss the game on Friday so with that in mind....
---------------De Gea---------------
Rafael---Ferdinand---Evans---Evra
Young---Carrick---Cleverley---Giggs
---------------Rooney
----------------RVP
Subs: Lindegaard, Smalling, Vidic, Scholes, Valencia, Hernandez, Welbeck
If it turns out Rooney is actually injured then bring in Hernandez and stick Kagawa on the bench

I'd like to see the following team play but expect Allen and Downing to play instead of Henderson and Sterling.
--------------Reina--------------
Wisdom---Skrtel--Agger---Johnson
----------Lucas--Henderson------
------------- Gerrard-------------
Sturridge------Suarez-----Sterling

.I've got a feeling you might be pleasantly surprised. I certainly can't see Downing starting ahead of Sterling and given he was left out of the starting 11 today, I've got a feeling Henderson might start too.
Man Utd v Liverpool games are impossible to predict, for example Rooney tends to almost always score against Arsenal, RVP tends to always score at Chelsea other than Gerrard against us though no one really has a great goal scoring record against the other in these fixtures. I have no idea what's going to happen, likewise the game after, could be a great day for us, could be a rotten one, I'd certainly take still being 7 points clear though
Arsenal vs City this weekend...this could go any way with the way we have been playing but also City not really playing very well either.
Either a draw or a loss for us...maybe a win if Arsenal have their weetabix

3-2 Arsenal 
Villa away, the biggest relegation 6 pointer possible.
If we can't beat a team that just crumbles at the first sign of pressure (and a team we beat 4-1 a few months ago) we deserve to get relegated. If we win though it's coming up Millhouse!
Plus it'll be a good day out in Birmingham, cheap drink, alright food and should be a good laugh (like almost all days out in Birmingham over the last few years)
