And I'm Ian. Sorry I'm a smidge late. Also, if you're in the midwest U.S. and have dish network, I hope you have not lost coverage!

Rooney starts, 'eh? If he has a horrible game, Fergie could get crucified.

he can get pulled off and replaced, they r not short of artillery MU

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:52 Tokyo

9:52

The Gaffer:

Any thoughts about whether Man U will try and get a quick goal to finish the game off early, or play it more conservatively?

wow CFTV as in CFTO?

[Comment From CFTVCFTV: ]

You have to play your best players in the big game. Rooney will come off fine and if he isn't having a good day they can sub him off.

9:53

Ian:

We went with chocolate chip pancakes in our house, Gaffer.

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:53 Ian

9:53

Ian:

Man U has to go for it early. Especially with their penchant for falling behind. If they get the first, they can cruise because they know they can score late

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:53 Ian

9:54

The Gaffer:

Fox Soccer Channel's Keith Costigan said that Ferguson should not be allowed to say anything about other teams or players. What an idiot (Costigan, that is). What is this, communist Russia from the early 80s?

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:54 The Gaffer

9:54

[Comment From TokyoTokyo: ]

I've watched build up on sky, the pitch is incred today for Wigan (!), so they will play normal game MU

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:54 Tokyo

9:54

The Gaffer:

Yeah, Wigan chairman Dave Whelan ordered the rugby league team to play on a different pitch.

[Comment From CFTVCFTV: ]

United will look to score goals. You don't have the talent that United has and not go for the throat when you are playing a team way down the table in a game that they need to win

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:54 CFTV

9:55

[Comment From CFTVCFTV: ]

Costigan is just a cheesed Pool fan that has nothing to play for today

I seriously think the top will be a snooze. I'm debating whether to avoid the Fulham score during the match so I can watch it on TiVo laterr

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:56 Ian

The Gaffer:

11% Chelsea? It's very possible.

[Comment From dhddhd: ]

ignorant question from Melbourne, Aust - so Wigan share their pitch with a rugby team or something?

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:57 dhd

9:57

Ian:

Yeah. Wigan play both in the same place.

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:57 Ian

9:57

Ian:

Both part of the same club

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:57 Ian

9:57

The Gaffer:

Yeah, Wigan Warriors or something like that (rugby league). Reading has a team too that shares their pitch, but the Madesjki pitch looks much nicer (although they may play CCC next season).

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:57 The Gaffer

9:57

[Comment From shazshaz: ]

Wigans pitch looks excellent today, better than the chelsea game. Utd need to go for it though

Gaffer? What's your prediciton on top?

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:58 Ian

9:58

The Gaffer:

There's an Old Trafford Cricket Ground, but that's down the street from the real OT. Different stadium.

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:58 The Gaffer

9:58

The Gaffer:

Man United to cruise to a comfortable 2-0 win and the rest is history.

Sunday May 11, 2008 9:58 The Gaffer

It really doesn't matter for England since they don't have a competitve game for months. Chelsea is a different matter with the CL game. They can miss Terry for the US game as it will give Capello a chance to look at younger guys

I wouldn't necessarily think so, but since they were members of the Prem this season, it kinda makes sense that they should be able to have the spot.

If you think about it, Fulham really deserved to go down and they're probably a club talent-wise that deserves relegation. If they can somehow manage to stay up, I think it makes one club more likely to go down next year, which might make West Brom, Stoke, and (hopefully) Palace a little more likely to survive the Prem.
