    Hes definately playing, hes starting as a matter of fact. Berba is out, with an injury so they say. But I think they just prefer to go with Chicharito and Rooney combo.

    I am just saying he won't, because I don't think Sir likes to play the same forwards in consecutive games... I believe he needed Javier for the Everton game, but if he needs him he'll play him in the 2nd half against Schalke. I am hoping you are right, though, sir.

    CHICHARITO is a MAN-beast-CHILD in the field. :eek: I just saw the replay of the goal on Howard... and I hope he does plenty of that later in this continent...

    I like that combo. I'm going with a 3-0 ManU victory...Chicharito gets 1 and Rooney 2, with Giggs setting up all 3.

    It'll be tough, but im thinking a 2-1 ManU win. Schalke can put some goals up, as we saw that they did against Milan.

    Richmond Arms will be showing it and that's where Man U fans usually go for games.

    Ohhh... I know where I thought Hernández wouldn't play. Doesn't he have two bookings in consecutive games? :confused: Man, someone catch me up on something I may have missed.

    As Dr.L. noted, Richmond arms is the spot. (That's one thing Dallas has over Houston, better soccer pubs).

    Swoly-I don't recall Chicharito being in yellow card danger or being suspended for tomorrows match. I think he'll be on the team sheet but it's anyones guess if he'll start or SAF will go with just Rooney or Rooney and Berba.

    Schalke are extremely dangerous right now and our German friends on here can probably attest to that. Ever since Ralf Rangnick took over as their manager they've been turning things around and keep in mind Huntelaar has been injured for a bit yet they've been able to pick up the scoring slack.
    I think we can still do the business and I'm sure SAF and the United players won't underestimate Schalke.

    I don't think Schalke has much of a chance. But they have one of the world's best goalkeepers in Neuer, who will play for Bayern next year (and the next 10-15 years). And Raul can still always score one. Farfan is a very, very good player, too.

    No chance at all. Players like Baumjohann or Sarpei are, at best, 2nd division players. But I guess you could see that Neuer is good.

    Neuer is very good...but ManU is just too strong. This game hasn't really even been fair. Even the best keepers ever can't save their teams from a barrage like he's getting today.
