    No bloody way Giggsy doesn't start. I would think Giggsy and Scholesy have guaranteed starting spots for tomorrow.

    VDS

    Hargreaves Rio Vidic Evra

    Ronaldo Scholes Carrick Giggs

    Tevez Rooney

    I'm using 4-4-2 but I bet SAF mixes it up with some variation.

    Giggs has been pretty bad this season, especially on the wing, but he has been better when given a more central role. I'm afraid Fergie will give him the start based on his career, but he hasn't earned it this season. I can't see us going 4-4-2 against Chelsea's midfield, they would boss the entire match.

    I think Giggs is better suited coming off the bench at this point. He is one of my favorite players of all time and the reason I started watching Man U in the early 90's. However, his time is nearly up. I wouldn't be surprised to see him walk away should they win tomorrow.

    Oh without doubt that based on the season Giggs shouldnt start but I think SAF may start him as a last hurrah. Giggs and Scholesy, the last two(apart from GNev) from the 08-09 team. I dunno, the 4-4-2 wouldnt be the best formation for the match, I just see SAF doing something like that for Giggsy, but if Giggsy doesn't start and comes on as a sub, I'll be fine with that.
    Now no way Tevez doesn't start.

    I was actually a bigger Kanchelskis fan that Giggsy. Also had love for Sharpie-Lee Sharpe, but wouldn't you know it, Giggsy outlasts them all.

    Anyone locate another way to stream online? It's looking more and more like I'm not going to be able to leave work and I forgot to set the DVR this morning.

    I'm shocked Park was left completely out of the squad, he's been massive for us in Europe this season.

    I think you have to install some software for it but you should be able to see the game there.

    I really don't have a bone in this fight, but I am going to go for Chelsea since my MAIN MAAAN Drogba wears their uniform.

    I just hope for a great matchup, this should be a great day for futbol...

    Has anybody found a non sopcast style link for the game? None of Channelsurfing.net's links are working for me.

    Was expecting to listen on my local station -- but the rotten net broadcast doesn't carry the game :(. IF only I had a radio.

    Anyone else get the sense that Rooney was just a soccer hooligan who happened to be talented enough to play professional soccer? Hate that guy with a passion, can't root for any team he's on.

    Go Chelsea!
