Saha's available, but Fergie's insisted in his press conference that Rooney won't be (and doesn't need to be) rested :/ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh, but I want a Saha / Larsson partnership

[JulesMUFC]

Richardson + Larsson ftw.

likewise, was just saying to Matt on MSN how it's got a lot of potential. wouldn't be surprised if we start with Henke and Rooney tomorrow and use Saha off the bench, hopefully for Wayne and fairly early on.

[alilaw]

Of course Rooney could just make us eat our words and end up having a blinder tomorrow.

Here's hoping

[Coldberg]

I will be working tomorrow & finish just about the same time as the match does.

So I hope it's raining really heavily & the match is a totally dire 1-0 win for us with the goal being off someones arse with no other shots in the game at all

[Bagpuss]

Marts texting me updates as i'll be on my way to Newcastle Greyhound track forf a works **** up

[Coldberg]

No 'h' in my name.

I could actually have done an early shift but I really couldn't be arsed going. That & I would rather save my money for beer.

[mark g]

Nobody worried that we'll take our queue from Chelsea again, and copy the idea of playing a left back as the left side of a front three?

[Taz & The Devil]

Places reporting that Wes is out with a virus but bar him we are at full strength with Vida, Scholes and Saha back.

Please rest Rooney altogether and put Rossi in the 16.

Fergie's dream scenario.

We know Evra started out as a front man and there have been quotes, via Evra, that have been attributed to Fergie saying that he wanted the diminutive Frenchman "to attack" because thats why he bought him...*shudder*

I actually think Evra would do really well in that type of role with his speed and dribbling ability.

[Taz & The Devil]

Listening to Park give an Interview in English on MUTV here. He must have said confidence about 50 times. I guess thats one of the first words we teach them after what happened to Ronaldo the other year.

That may be the case but are you really convinced that he could regularly deliver goals and assists? I mean, there must be a reason he became a full-back.

It was bad enough when it was just Saha.

How many of those who "can't be arsed" would say that if it was Liverpool at home?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> MANCHESTER UNITED striker Louis Saha is still haunted by the spirit of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

And that is despite team-mates telling him the Dutch star’s exit was the best thing for him.

Saha, available after injury for today’s Premiership clash with Aston Villa, admitted: “My rivalry with Ruud wasn’t easy and still isn’t. Ruud has remained a legend here and it is enough for me to have an average 20 minutes for part of the crowd to chant his name.

“I did everything for our rivalry not to change our relationship. We both wanted to play and it is the manager who decided.â€

French compatriot Patrice Evra, though, feels boss Alex Ferguson did Saha a favour by selling Van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid.

Evra said: “The departure of Van Nistelrooy has set Louis free. He was feeling guilty at having taken his place. The episode really embarrassed him.â€

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, so long a United team-mate of Van Nisterooy, agreed Saha suffered in his rival’s presence.

He said: “For a long time Louis was in the shadow of Ruud, who absorbed all the light. Louis is an escapee from lengthy injury, like me. Now he is bursting out.

“For me, he is going to score more than Thierry Henry and finish top Premiership scorer.â€

Saha is in the running today to add to his eight league goals, claiming: “I want to score 15 to 20 Premiership goals.†</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Getting more and more sick of his moaning by the day.

[Saha]

Bring back Ruud, that'll sort it.

We could offer them Silvestre in exchange.

[Blaine]

Those are old quotes from Saha, I think.

[Taz & The Devil]

Yep those look like the same quotes just being brought up again.

And i dont want Ruud back. Too old, not as good as he was and i prefer the style of football we play without him.

[Saha]

I would not want to buy back Ruud at his age and i dont deem him as good as now as he was at his best for us.

We dont need to go into but 'what if we got him on a free' stuff because we wont be.

I agree. As if you'd make constant references to a player who left six months ago now. He should just move on.

[Saha]

Assuming O'Shea is now considered a midfielder, is this the first time we've ever had a bench with no leftbacks?

[Probably Illegal]

Would have preferred Saha & Larsson maybe, with Rooney on the bench. No Rossi

[Taz & The Devil]

Yeah thats a damn good bench.

No problem with Giggs being given a rest knowing that hes on the bench should park have another abysmal game.

Rooney i would have preferred to be given the day off knowing its Arsenal up next but its a good side.

[Mika]

Great team and bench

[Mika]

But, but, no Rossi!

[Saha]

It's because he's not good enough

[/whollbite]

[Probably Illegal]

Any idea if this is on interweb radio somewhere? Could do with something to distract me from revision.

[ajw2255]

i guess o shea will cover for the whole back 4. Cant be good for utd can it really

[Taz & The Devil]

With all the Ruud talk and that whole debacle over Fletcher nobody should have the cheek to mention my Rossi love.

[JulesMUFC]

wouldnt of chosen rossi on the bench anyway, whats the point, ole and saha much better options up front.

COME ONE HENKE DO ME PROUD

[Mika]

People jump on me whenever I mention Ruud's name so you'll have to accept it I'm afraid.

He's alright on the right tbf ajw

its if rio or vidic get injured thats the problem. He can cover full back positions no problem really. Unlikely to happen so i dont know why i mentioned it really

Foster just put in another good performance despite Watford losing 3-0 to Liverpool. It really did seem like he was the only watford player on the pitch at times.
