Well, crap. Tomorrow, for me sucks. I don't like either team, but I have to root for Chelsea. Maybe Roman will sell the team, after he wins his favorite trophy in his Motherland (I would think that the ref's are going to be well paid in advance Man U fans). Either way, I don't know, and I just hope the game is nothing like last years FA final...boring, boring, boring....
I'm really anxious to see the team Man United put out tomorrow. I don't think there will be any surprises in the Chelsea 11, Cech in goal, Cole, Terry, Carvallo, Essien is the back 4. A midfield trio of Ballack, Lampard, and Makalele and Drogba flanked by Kalou(or Malouda) and Cole. Pretty much what they've been doing during their run in and an extremely strong side, especially with Ballack finding his top form.
United's backline will be the same, Evra, Rio, Vidic, and Brown at the back with Van Der Saar behind them. Ferguson has said that Scholes will be the first name on the team sheet and I'm sure Carrick will join him. Rooney will start up front and of course Ronaldo. That leaves 2 spots up for grabs I think. With Chelsea's power in midfield, I think Ferguson will play Hargreaves from the beginning and have him battle Ballack and Lampard.
So who takes the final spot, if Ferguson plays Tevez, he will be signaling his intentions of playing an attacking side. If he plays Park, as he's done lately, it shows he wants to play it safe and field a guy who'll cover a lot of ground defensivly and be a tenacious runner/chaser. I think Giggs will come off the bench and Tevez is a great option off the bench as well.
I'm hoping he plays Tevez, I want to go right at Chelsea, I think playing a rough and tough physical game plays right into their hands.
I am very nervous about this game. Chelsea have owned Man United over the last few seasons and the matchups are tough, especially in midfield. Ballack is a real heavyweight and United lack a certain level of physicality in midfield. Every set piece will scare the **** out of me.....
Jeez you werent kidding.Quote:

Looks like Nasri to Arsenal is a done deal. 11.9 million pounds.
Rumour on the BBC
"1710: "Massive rumour among the Chelsea fans that Michael Ballack has been dropped. No wonder the United fans are still in far better voice. One Chelsea fan just said they've got no hope without the in-form German. Great melodrama."
BBC Sport's Jonathan Stevenson in Moscow "
Yea, they say he's going to play but what a vicious tackle!Quote:

Good game so far, Tevez could have done better. Chelsea are easily one of the whineiest teams in the league.
