Come on then. Put down your predictions.

Ferguson has said Ruud Will be playing as he wants to put a side that resembles the FA cup final side. Scholes is back after his ban and Saha and Ronaldo should both be playing.

While Chelsea will be missing Crespo, Duff, Mutu, Veron and possibly Hasselbaink who apparently broke his toe after kicking a wall!

So thats only really Gudjohnsen up front they got to choose from!

I say 2-0 to united.

Aside from Chelsea's goal and the Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty-miss, I've seen the highlights of this game on SkySports. And, once again, I was pretty darn dissapointed with the way I could see we were playing.

I mean, it was all long balls over the top from Fletcher, Silvestre... Anyone who got the ball.

I know he's ageing more each year, but where was the Ryan Giggs kind of player to drive us through their defence and on towards goal with one of his superb dribbling displays of excellence?


It's fine having players like Ronaldo and Giggsy out-wide to supply balls into the box for only Ruud van Nistelrooy to score from, but isn't that the way we often played (last season, anyway) when David Beckham was on the field?

Because of his restrictions, and the way many seemed to think we had to play every attack through him (much like Eriksson's England tactics...!), I always felt he was restricting us. I was glad to see him go - and I still am. I do not agree with people like Roy Keane and van Nistelrooy who have publicly spoken about how we "miss" the current `David Beckham´ on the pitch.

What we're really lacking now, I feel (when we're not conceeding stupid goals!), is someone in the centre of midfield.


Maybe it is Roy Keane?
Perhaps it's time for a summer shake-up of a team that's been more-or-less the same for a number of years now...

Something's got to change! :P

You like grapes don't you?...just like your manager after being dumped out of the FA Cup and Champions league.

Anyway, Chelsea done well today and United need to improve a hell of a lot if they are to compete for honours next year. The central midfield was poor and the final pass, again, was terrible resuting in long balls being hoofed up to the strikers. Hopefully things will improve for the final and they should with Keane and Scholes coming back.

Cardiff here I come.

Just like to say well done to united and their fans. Was a good game today, and it was really great to see the United fans give the chelsea players a round of applause as they walked off the pitch.

Don't know why the United fans cheered Ferguson and the players when they came out and after his speech. It's been a pathetic season and should have told them so, their efforts and skills have been nowhere near what i expect of players in a United shirt this season

Unless United buy a central defender, a creative midfielder and a proper world class striker to go along with Ruud then it probably will be your title again but the Champs League? hahaha funny man

hehe the arsenal fans all out in force with their cocky attitudes now they've won the premier, strangely absent though after United won the premier last year though, wonder what happened? :-D

Already said many times United have been crap this season and Arsenal have deserved the league, end of story. Looking to next year now when, as usual, we win our trophy back :-p
