Sounds like Vidic, Valencia, Carrick, Park and Rooney will all play a part in tonight's match in Ireland with John O'Shea set to captain the side on his native soil.

Owen up front with Rooney

I guess he needs to get some minutes under his belt. Would like to see Berba and Rooney get some time together.

Or not

wow what a finish from Owen. Already looking sharper than he did for most of last season.

Can't say enough

about how United opened the field up and created that chance on the fly. Park’s run down the right is what set Owen up….

You are always going to get that effort from Park

I think it gets over looked sometimes how much he gives for the team.

What an effort!

Park’s run up the right and a spot on pass to Owen in the box. Owen gets some luck and it’s 2-0…..

Should have shot Valencia

Decent first half

United stroked the ball around pretty well and some of the guys who haven’t played much, Rooney, Park, looked pretty sharp.

Berba and Chicharito on

Owen and Rooney off. Berba will enjoy this type of match. We had a lot of the ball in the first half and Berba should get on the ball a lot.

Chicharito scores again

I am really starting to love this kid. Gets into great areas and when he gets service, like he should from Valencia in this form, he finishes.

Chicarito 14

is going on the back of my united shirt

by Sweet science on Aug 4, 2010 11:04 PM BST up reply actions  

I am going to get a new kit this year,

despite the fact that I will hate giving any money to the Glazers, and I think I have to go with Giggs 11 which is one I have always wanted and always put off getting.

Have to get it soon wouldn't you

Giggs or Scholes has to be got in the next two seasons if there still with us!

by Sweet science on Aug 4, 2010 11:46 PM BST up reply actions  

Yeah I wouldn't want to get a kit

with Giggs on the back unless he actually played in that kit.

Surely this is a pretty good reason to get a replica knock-off… avoid giving money to the Glazers, still have a shirt. Even if it’s not your normal MO, extraordinary times, etc.

Glory glory Man United, AND the other MU, AAAAnd the Leafs. I think I need a drink now.

Where do you get

replica knock offs? I live 1,200 kms north of Vancouver it’s hard for me to get United merchandise.

and amazon protects deals pretty well, esp. if you use paypal, which has escrow built into it.

but no, don’t go filling your credit card #’s into random web pages.

I am a little concerned with the quality of opposition

so far in preseason. Other than Chivas these games have been pretty low quality.

Well, not ALL of the PL are awesome teams :)

But yeah, take everything here with a healthy side-serving of salt.

I can't see us scoring 7

against a very hungry Newcastle team looking to get one over on their old rivals in their first game back in the top flight. And our defending has been less than inspiring at times.

So has Newcastle’s defending.

by skipkirk on Aug 6, 2010 12:12 AM BST up reply actions  

It's different though

once the season starts. It’s their first game back in the top flight and they don’t like us.

Another example of horrible defending

good finish from Park but still that was too easy.

7-1 and it could have been more

next up the Community Shield.
