My local bookie — very much one of us — has just laid me 8-1 against my naming the starting line-up tonight! Now throughout the week there has been much debate about the great man's predictability and as a contributor to this assertion, I felt it reasonable to invest £20 at the price offered. Jimmy Generous was not for taking an each-way punt so, to win 160 notes or nowt, this was my selection:-
Howard; Rodwell, Yobo, Distin, Baines; Bily, Osman, Fellaini, Pienaar; Cahill; Jo.
Wish me luck lads!

Howard;
A back four of Cahill, Osman, Fellaini and Pienaar.
Midfield - Yak, Baines, Jo and Nash
Forwards - Yobo and Distin
You just never know with Moyes!!!
I’d see if you can get your money back.
Rodwell’s a cert to start and I can see felli getting a start tonight which should mean Ossie’s on the bench but maybe Timmy.
ALL THAT IS CERTAIN is NOTHING is certain.
Howard
Gosling, Yobo, Distin, Baines
Billy, Rodwell, Fellaini, Piennar
Cahill, Saha
Subs: Yak for Saha, Osman for Felli and possibly Baxter for Piennar depending on the way the game is going.
Gosling is going to play right back and Billy is going to play in midfield.
I’m amazed when he heard your team he didn’t give you much longer odds in order to entice you to throw away even more money.
I thought my bets were bad!
Howard, Heitinga, Yobo, Distin, Baines, Bily, Fellaini, Osman, Pienaar, Jo, Saha.
Easy
81Mins - Gosing replacing Bily
88mins and 1-1 Vaughan replaces Saha
Gosling, Yobo, Distin, Baines
Osman, Rodwell, Fellaini, Pienaar, Billy
Jo
I’m going with half optimism (Pienaar in the middle with Felli infront of Rodwell) and half realistic (Osman won’t lose his place and Jo won’t get dropped.)
Id like Saha to start (if not the Yak!) and someone else to be given a shot on the right, but I don’t know who.
Also,
Anton Peterlin is listed on the OS as a midfielder. I obviously got that wrong, I though he was a new striker. Anyone know what he does and if we might get a look at him anytime soon?
Whatever the team, COYB!
Closing this one now that we have the real thing....
