Sheps. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 N4405 13 119 is my seating area, someone can confirm I'll probably have the worst view going I used to sit up around there a lot when I was a member years ago, it's high up (hope you don't mind climbing a lot of stairs) but you get a great view of the pitch regardless. I miss the days of going regularly, I remember watching RvN tear Sparta Prague to pieces in the CL once and a very raw Ronaldo absolutely schooling fullbacks after he first moved here. Dammmmn I miss it. Have fun anyway pal Also, get on the Metro - Altrincham line, get off at Old Trafford and there you go. I've never been on the bus to Old Trafford, wouldn't even know which service goes there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Regarding Fergie's health hasn't he pretty much said himself about being in good health then no problem, bit of a no brainer really. Did he miss some trips in the summer though as you flew about a fair bit for pre-season and bit of a toll on his old body so didn't keep the same schedule as the rest of the team?

Pangaea Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 He did. But that could partly also have been about trying to wrap up moves for players.

Bren24 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Also, get on the Metro - Altrincham line, get off at Old Trafford and there you go. I've never been on the bus to Old Trafford, wouldn't even know which service goes there Alright. More confident of actually making it now Had a browse on the metro site and seems to make more sense. So I can get on at Picadilly (Assuming this is the train station, yeah?), and direct to OT? No changing trams? (Have never even been on a tram!) Seen a return ticket is only £2.80, bargain. Arriving at picadilly around 1pm, should have plenty of time to get there. However it could be very tight after the match trying to catch the train I want, there's a later one but don't fancy hanging around if possible. Really want to see RvP play, could be another hat trick if we get our football flowing, and I can't see why not as we're at OT, and generally speaking, tend to knock a few past Wigan. We'll ignore the April result.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony7 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Rumours that you guys are going to be singing You'll Never Walk Alone at Anfield. I can't see it myself although you may have a banner saying justice which is still a great gesture. I just hope we can play you days before the Munich anniversary and lay flowers behind the goal or something and end the sick chants. I love the tense atmosphere, the rivalry even the hatred but I don't see the need and never will see the need for sick chants or fighting because people support a different club. I guess you guys dont see us as one of the big boys anymore and would rather take points off City, Chelsea than Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldberg Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Closest you'll ever get is United fans singing you'll never get a job. Not a chance they'll sing the proper version, especially the away fans. Don't think people realise how deep the dislike United & Liverpool runs. First time we played each other after the 96 died there was a chorus of 'Where's your famous Munich song?'. That was in response to the years of goading from Liverpool fans. It's not that people are genuinely happy people died at the various incidents throughout history, it's just an easy way to rule up opposition fans by taunting them about something they have an attachment to.

I remember Liverpool fans (small handful) throwing paper aeroplanes from the kop in early 90s. Majority of fans from both clubs are well behaved it's just a small minority who insist on sick chants.

RSB Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 First impression from that is that Fergie will keep to his word and play a strong side against Gala. Big game for Welbz to show what he can do in his more natural #10 role (hopefully, rather than him wide and Giggs off Hernandez). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It sure is. But I'm worried about this lineup. We always seem to throw away points by putting out weakened sides early in the season, and I'm worried this will be another such case. Wigan will be raring to go with a teamsheet like that. Hopefully just pre-match nerves and the lads will calm me down by half-time. Please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppard Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Is it really that a weak line-up, though? Perhaps Giggs, but otherwise it looks pretty decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Weak is relative in our team. It's never truly weak, but it's not our best team when arguably our three most effective players right now are on the bench in RVP, KAgawa and Valencia.

RSB Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 In terms of who we have available that's about as weak a team as we're ever likely to put out. Second choice keeper, a completely untried fullback, two midfielders with question marks over whether they can contribute from the start at this level any more, a winger whose future appears (bizarrely) to be under scrutiny and Welbeck and Hernandez starting without a senior strike partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSB Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I love Scholes as much as the next man, but there's a risk in playing him against this Wigan side which can commit up to six players in the middle of the park when he's got Carrick and Giggs either side of him and an untried fullback behind him. Can't see him seeing performing for 90 minutes. Would have much preferred any one of the AM options from the bench with Giggs playing inside if required, with Scholes retained on the bench as an insurance and for the Gala game.

Leppard Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 From that, I'd remove Giggs, put Nani on the left, and Valencia on the right. That just makes the midfield so much more stable. Also, I see no problems with Hernandez and Welbeck starting together, though it would've been nice to see Kagawa start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
