Early Saturday thumping for Newcastle then!

 

[toshj]

Managed to find some cheap return tickets from London to Preston today, so am off to the fabled Turf Moor on Saturday

 

[robfosters]

Palace to beat Villa
Swansea to beat Sunderland
West Ham to beat Bournemouth

Pushed out by Sky bet from 8/1 to 11/1. Got to be worth a few quid surely? Palace looked pretty good against Arsenal, Sunderland are dead in the water and Bournemouth look like one of those teams who give a good account of themselves but get pipped at the post.

All I ask from you, McClaren, is to start Mitrovic.

Leicester Spurs should see some goals as neither can defend

Guaranteed 0-0 then.

Schweinsteiger getting his first start today. Still Romero in goal though.

The de Gea fiasco will go right to the end (of August).

 

[Robbo]

I'd be tempted to put Herrera in there somewhere, probably in place of Januzaj, I'm not totally sold on Januzaj just yet as a first team starter (in future, certainly).

If Rooney has another shocker it won't be good news. Excellent Schweinsteiger is starting as he should be the first name on the team sheet, looks a class apart from everyone else.

 

[Pighardia]

I really have to leave by 12.45...but I really want to see Mitrovic get sent off!

I'll revise my plans and leave at 12.50

Mclarens hair is awful. Just chop it off man!

surely he's got the money to have a 'rooney' done?

Didn't know Mcclaren was paid 300k a week to be a flop

 

[Fulax]

Tim Krul; Chancel Mbemba, Steven Taylor, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Massadio Haidara; Vurnon Anita, Jack Colback; Ayoze Perez, Georginio Wijnaldum, Gabriel Obertan; Aleksandar Mitrovic

My God do we need some new defenders.

Inb4 Owen comments

 

[Robbo]

Owen: "Scrutiny, like when your centre forward doesn't score for a couple of games..."

You mean 13 hours of competitive games, Michael? Spanner.

 

[Snax]

That is the first Man Utd line up that has impressed me in a long time.

 

[shipinabottle]

No Owen in commentary? thank jeebus!

Edit... Awww ****

 

[manic111]

Yeah, I'm shocked that Herrera isn't the first name on your team sheet to be honest. Cheeky diamond with Schneiderlin, Herrera, Schweinsteiger and Mata in midfield could be excellent.
