    It's going to be as easy as taking points from Arsenal reserves when they had nothing to play for and were distracted by the UEFA cup. In the bag.

    No way, I would definitely pay for their chips. Well worth the money.
    I might even buy them a sausage in batter, if I was really in the mood.

    I remember, as a kid, I used to love saveloys, then years later I had one as an adult and thought they tasted disgusting.

    Cool story, I know.

    Hope JG puts Gomes in goal and plays an attacking line up including Doucoure, Hughes, Peryra, Delofeu, Richarlison and Gray. If we get at least a goal it will be a bonus. Maybe get a draw if we press and harry what will be a relatively unfamiliar Utd line up. Nothing to lose so go for it you golden boys!

    It's not U18's playing,

    The reserves are Rashford, Martial, Bailly, Blind & Carrick.

    4-1 to United, Rashford (2) Martial (2) as they make a point to Mourinho.

    Looking forward to this and wish I was going! A nice pressure-free end of season game at Old Trafford, that's the stuff we dreamed of when a Championship team. Like a few other posters I am perhaps foolishly quite optimistic about the outcome.

    The stats however do not bode well for us. We have not scored away from home in the league since May 1998 (that's almost 20 years!), a Jason Lee goal at Fulham. More worringly, we have not won away from home against anyone since 1988. To end either run today would be a huge plus.

    Prediction

    Man Utd 3-4 Watford
    Young (88, 90+1, 90+3, missed pen (90+5); Gray (23), Hughes (42), Deeney (84, 90+7)

    I'd go with:
    Gomes (just to say goodbye on his 100),
    Mariappa, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas,
    Janmaat, Doucoure, Hughes, Pereyra,
    Deulofeu,
    Gray

    I thought your post was quite sensible until I realised you had missed a couple of words out in the 2nd paragraph as it doesn't feel like 20 years ago since we scored away from home, also your prediction on young scoring a hat trick in the last few mins is unlikely as he will have been subbed by then!

    My half time team talk if we are level would be to ******* concentrate after 80 minutes as they bound to get a last minute winner

    IF

    If we are level I think we will be 2 or 3 down by half time

    A huge thank you to the fans from the team today with a breathtakingly breakneck performance of skill and desire whetting our appetites for next season.

    3-1 Watford

    Kabasele, Gray, Cathcart.

    Now THAT is our best line-up all things considered. Kudos Gracia.

    Although United’s ‘reserves’ don’t look bad either - wouldn’t mind a few of them if they are not needed.

    #Watfordfc starting XI v #mufc:
    Gomes; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Doucouré, Hughes; Deulofeu, Pereyra, Richarlison; Gray.

    #watfordfc subs v #MUFC Bachmann, Pr*dl, Mariappa, Chalobah, Lukebakio, Sinclair, Deeney.

  17. As long as Deulefeo helps out Janmaat and Pereyra Holebas.

    That's a good end of season line up, we're going to have a go at least. Not much else we could have done really with Capoue and Cleverley out, Chalobah unable to start and Ndong being Ndog*****.

    Might get a spanking here with no defensive midfielder but let's go down swinging at least. Nice touch for Gomes and Bachmann as well.

    No one is good enough to help out Holebas enough that he puts in a good performance.

    Fair do’s Gracia. That’s a good, gutsy line up and pretty much what I wanted. There won’t be any complaints about team selection from me regardless of how the game goes. Last game, nothing at risk, let’s have a right go.

    Love this line up! Pace, creativity, dynamism and legs! If we can stay injury free next season could be fun

    Almost. I'm pleased with that team. Good to see Gray finally getting another start again as a lone striker away from home, and with some decent creative support as well.

    Would be cool if Doucoure could play a few passes to our players

    Well done Holebas on not playing offside. Taxi for him ASAP.

    Doesn't gaining an advantage after being 2 yards offside and scoring constitute interfering with play?
     
  31. Was two headers in a week too much for Gray?

    Seems like the pre-game optimism of playing Uniteds ‘reserves’ a week before the cup was a bit misplaced.

    Just score a ******* away goal. This away from us utterly horrid and can’t be ignored, last day or not.

    Has there even been a shot on goal ?
     
  34. Yes, a few.

  35. 3 for us, 1 for them - although I think ours were mostly headers...
