Mixed emotions today, whilst United will today lift the trophy as winners of the 2010/2011 Premier League (this is when it sinks in for me that we are the champions) we will see Edwin van der Sar play his last legue game for the club and it marks the start of a boring United-less summer again.

I guess the US tour will have to do!

As expected Sir Alex has fielded a ‘weakened’ team against a Blackpool side battling for survival butr despite the teams status as weakened as seen with Schalke they are more than capable of giving Blackpool a test.

Any hopes of Blackpool getting an easy ride will quickly be dispelled as United defend an unbeaten home record this season as well as hope to get Edwin a clean sheet in his last game at Old Trafford.

Starting XI: Van Dar Sar, Rafael, Vidic, Evra, J.Evans, Fletcher, Scholes, Anderson, Park, Berbatov; Nani

Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Smalling, Gibson, Valencia, Owen, Rooney

    Am standing lol aye lets hope Edwin does himself proud…as he has done repeatedly and has a stonker of a game.clapping Edwin from here when I see him, with a tear in my eye.
    I want Dimitar Berbatov to score a couple to win the Golden boot, anything to stop Tevez from being awarded it.
    Cmon United

    Probably the best “weakened” side i’ve ever seen! Interesting seeing Lindegaard as our backup GK. Surely it confirms Kuszczack is on his way out.

    Weakened my arse! OK, a few ‘second stringers’ but still a strong team. C’mon Berb, knock ’em for SIX 🙂

  7. The Guv'nor says:

    No Giggsy???

    Owen should have started

    Interesting line up. Why is park playing, and not being rested? and evra and rafeal and vidic and nani. Why not play brown, fabio, smalling, gibson, bebe, obertan….oh yeah, we cant field some players from our 25 men squad because that is cheating. So why have a 25 man squad?
