    Bit of a pointless game now, but I think this match still deserves its own thread.

    Not sure about United's line-up, but it looks like we'll go:

    ------------Cech-----------
    Ferreira-Essien-Terry-A Cole
    -------------Maka----------
    ------Lampard--Mikel--------
    SWP-------------------J Cole
    -------------Kalou-----------

    Another example of why, despite huge media speculation, there is still great respect between Fergie and Jose:

    "Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has praised Jose Mourinho's handling of Chelsea's surrender of their Premiership crown.

    Ferguson said: "Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way.

    "You have to deal with them in the same way. When you win, you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.

    "He was very complimentary after their draw at Arsenal and I'll bring him a decent bottle of wine to make sure his tastes are looked after."

    Blues midfielder Joe Cole has also congratulated Manchester United and revealed that there are plans to make sure the visitors are shown respect on Wednesday.

    He said: "They clapped us out when we won the league, and that took a lot of dignity. I am sure we will repay the favour.

    "There is a good rivalry between the two clubs. We have a lot of respect for them. They won the league and fair play to them."

    Ferguson has rated this Premiership crown - his ninth as United manager - above his other titles for the way it was achieved.

    He said: "There's a lot of satisfaction in the way we have won it, Chelsea were the most resilient opponents we have ever come across.

    "I thought the signings of Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevcheko were designed to win them the European Cup and I just kept hoping that was what they were concentrating on.

    "I knew we had to reach 90 points, which is a hell of a total.

    "We tried to instil into the players' minds that we needed to get off to a good start and stay with Chelsea. It was something nobody else had done in the previous two years.

    "Not only did we do that, we got in front and stayed there, which was a fantastic achievement because this is a relatively new team, which will hopefully get better."

    We're certainly resting some players according to Fergie, hopefully not the whole team though.

    If he plays.

    After Scholes and Giggs, he looks the most likely to need a rest.

    Drogba will not play today or on the weekend me thinks, Ronaldo should be able to get a hat-trick against West Ham on Sunday. Very Happy

    ok

    So what players will be rested from either team?

    Man United - Scholes, Giggs, Heinze, One of Rooney or Ronaldo.
    Chelsea - Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Drogba.

    But they have no Boulah, Carvahilo, Ballack, Sheva and Drogba.

    Against West Ham, i think the big boys will play, Giggs and Scholes. it is the last game of the season, we are at home, SAF would like to send West Ham down Devil

    But if he's playing the West Ham game and Chelsea fa cup final, why not give him a rest so we can get the best out of him in the last two games.


    To be honest I'd rest Rooney in one game and Ronaldo in the other, so both are fresh for the final.

    I'll never forget that Joe Cole goal. Not to mention we were constantly reminded of it before every game. Though the way he was allowed to walk through our defense was criminal.
