Castles more or less robbed my post on here. Knowing his quality of journalism, it wouldn't surprise me.

Not be easy, it never is for us.
Apparently Rashford has a late fitness test, according to physio room, but they also list Shaw as a "Major Doubt" which considering reports say he's gonna miss the start of next season, is a pretty freaking "Major" I'd say.
De Gea Valencia Bailly Blind Darmian Herrera Carrick Pogba Miki Rashford Mata
(If Rashford isn't fit, then Martial up top). Have a feeling Fellaini will play at the expense of Carrick, and one of Smalling or Jones ahead of Blind.
Hard fought 2-1 win. Would bloody love to be 4 up with an hour played so we can get some players a bit of a rest, but that ain't happening.

with smalling and jones just back and their overall play,i'd rather have blind in there who just started to form some sort of partnership with bailly
edit:i would even say keep bailly and blind for the rest of the season.bailly with his kamikaze playing style and blind with his calmness and composure. dont want another kamikaze player in jones next to bailly.and dont get me started about smalling. we are really missing rojo right now

Rojo was playing really well at CB, he had a great game against against Chelsea but Blind seems to be ok in the european games, not so convincing in the EPL.

dazjoe the real shame is we didn't put two or three past Celta Vigo. Same story as Anderlecht where we should have put the tie to bed in the first leg. Now we will be nervy defending a narrow lead and Celta will probably raise their game and play without fear making for an exhausting evening. But we should be able to make it through and rest any tired legs in the lead up to the final.

Only 8k to 9.5k seats for both teams in the final. Crazy. Its a 50K seater stadium.

Currently 14 stadiums in Europe with a 70,000+ capacity. Rises to 17 if you're looking at 65,000+.
65,000 should be the minimum, it could be rotated around so it's every 8 years or so a stadium hosts a final, that wouldn't be so bad.
