T-Minus 4 and counting. Bring it...

Ronaldo wants to play. Question is if he starts. Rooney will. Hope Evans is ok so that Rio doesn't have to risk it.

[SyedZada]

Evans and Rio are doubtful, O'Shea to play.

Funny, when I looked at the opening post I saw the United badge and I was like "that is weird, the thread starter only put United's badge up,:confused: that is quite bold of him" I then went back to look and had to squint to see the Wigan thing there.....

[J'can]

WTF? How many times are we playing Wigan?

[pgr17]

i did our usual match thread (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1030275)... the mods can choose which one to use.

[Amdrag]

Thread starter throw down. I go with pg17 and the correct badges. :cool:

[billyireland]

All we need is one point from this thread, three from the other, and we are champions!

[Charleysurf]

I vote for this thread.


Got to win this one. Don't want to give the scousers hope.

[Vermont Red]

Wow. This thread is so much better than the other one.

[jayro75]

I like the tree on Wigan's badge. Let's keep this thread.

[sdotsom]

Wigan have been coasting along for the last couple weeks. Hopefully they continue.

[pgr17]

it will be interesting to see how Ronaldo is "handled" for this game. our game on Saturday is at lunch time and we'll definitely need him then. i could really see him dropped entirely for this match. then again, getting a positive result tomorrow is key.

should be interesting to see what Fergie comes up with.

[sdotsom]

Don't like the idea of Ronnie not being there at all, but if Fergie does want to "punish" Ronaldo and rest him for the weekend in one go, this would be the way to do it. I think we'll see him on the bench at the start.

I think Nani will get minutes in this one.

[FIFARay007]

This thread is more gooder since it mentions Tosic....



TOSIC to start & Anderson to score.

[Vermont Red]

I don't see any reason why we shouldn't go for the kill in this match. Securing three points against Wigan means we only need one over the remaining two. This match is more important than the Arsenal match. If if were up to me, I'd start Ronaldo.

Threads merged. Might not make sense at first as apparently it does it chronologically, jumping from something that was posted in one thread to something that was in the other. Ideally would've tried to have pgr's as the opener to satisfy the superstitious but it wasn't to be. Red11's was posted first so it stayed first.

Of course, I could still delete the first 4 posts of the thread if you lot are that desperate(?) Seems a bit harsh on Red11 to me. :o

[Vermont Red]

I'm sure Red11 wouldn't mind, would you? *shakes fist*
