    Big game tomorrow, must win in order to fight off the resurgent champions elect LFC who are now quite clearly nailed on to win the league after winning a cup game.

    West Ham seem to be quite good away this season dolling out good dickings to City, Liverpool and Arsenal but then they also lost to Watford so perhaps not.

    Rooney is out, much to a lot of peoples relief on here, so the opportunity is there to play a good attacking side with some real intent.

    Mata to replace Rooney at ten, Martial to play as centre forward, these two flanked by Young and Lingard and a CM partnership of Herrera and Schweinsteiger.

    Please.

    Interesting fact, West Ham invented football (even before Arsene Wenger reinvented football) and also won the world cup once.

    That very much depends on who he plays instead.

    He might yet play Fellaini.

    West Ham will create (recent) history by beating United this weekend. They would have beaten Arsenal, City, Chelsea, and United (last season's top 4) all away. So United will do well to get anything from that match :bandit:

    Rooney and Rojo out. Depay out of form. Martial recovering from his foot injury. Carrick out.

    With due respect to treble, I'll be happy with a boring 1-0 scored from a deflection off Depay's arse. ;)

    That's probably what'll happen, Chrissy.

    Probably.

    Although knowing us this season it will probably deflect into our own goal.

    Martial probably.

    Putting on McNair to shore up the defence.

    If there was a prize for the number of times the ball is passed sideways and for the number of times a player comes to a complete stop with the ball before passing it, we will win hands down this season.

    Method in the madness <ok>

    Personally I'd like Own Goal to score. Really winds up some midtable fans :biggrin:

    He bleats on about needing a pacey winger but chooses to keep Mata on the wing and brings Fellaini in at 10 when the football gods have smiled on him and injured Rooney. Coward.

    Cool, so we're now playing defensively at home to West Ham.
