If we can play that badly in two matches and still not lose, there's always
hope.

well you're not out and I expect you to pull together and go through but
in all honesty even if you do go on to win the whole thing those two games
are going to leave a bad taste for years to come. Disgraceful attitude.

Crouch has to play from the off on Wednesday. Rooney and Crouch...for a
full 90.

I'm not a fan of Crouch, not in the least, but his goals to games ratio
for the national team just cannot be ignored.

Forget about Ronaldo.
Your Carlos Tevez too.
'Cos we've got a player who's United through and through.
He just might tw*t your groundsman, and bomb down your wing,
He's French, he's fast, he's f*cking CLASS, so hear United sing:
Tra la laa, it's Patrice Evra, tra la laa laa laa laa laa...

Screw Crouch, he's as bad as Heskey. Play a 5-4-1, it's the formation
that Rooney has excelled in all season. Bring in Cole and Carrick and
play Gerrard in the middle so he can support Wayne.
