    Oh I didn't know there were variations. I haven't had it for years but loved the original as a kid

    What about Dandelion and Burdock...another strange one

    Well at least now you know to not go near the stuff.

    I've not tasted that, thankfully.

    No way man!! I didn't think anyone could dislike that drink

    Haha, I live up here in Scotland, where it's essentially worshipped, but I don't see what all the hype is about. The latest one to come out - the fiery one - was absolutely awful.

    The reason for that - mainly - is the file size is over the limit, but it doesn't say that, when it mentions "Failed to set new photo". Next time, just ask a moderator via pm or post here, and we'll have it sorted for you as soon as possible.

    I just knew we were destined for this as soon as I seen the mediocre combination of Giggs and Park starting. Seriously, I don't see the quality in Giggs, yes, he shows glimpses of the magic he used to deliver on a regular basis, but he shouldn't be starting crucial games like this. He lacks self-discipline and is extremely impatient, he's always looking for that Hollywood pass. His partner in sharing the mediocrity, Park, has somehow degraded in quality. He's performing average at best against the smaller, weaker sides, yet he converts into a world class player when he plays against the big teams. I can see where Fergie is coming from by including Giggs, we need creativity in the middle of the park, but to include Park next to him seriously pissed me off, considering the string of poor performances leading up to this game. Anyway, our defence was fairly solid, apart from the defensive lapse of concentration which led to their second goal. Even if play should've been stopped, due to a head "injury", de Gea should be more composed. Last time I checked, goalkeepers can use their hands as well when a cross comes in like that. Fair enough, they score, we come back better, but we still lack decisiveness in the final third. The best player on the pitch, in my opinion, was Nani. I feel genuinely sorry for him because he put in an amazing shift, absolutely tormented Park, who was unfortunate primarily because he didn't receive any protection for the majority of the game. Nani put in some great crosses, one of which should've been buried by Rooney, but this is Rooney's inconsistency period where he doesn't give a toss. I can add more, but I'm sure you don't want to read more of my laughable rant. It's been an average Champions League, by our standards, we shouldn't be labouring against teams like Basel. We should have sealed it at Old Trafford when we faced Basel, but no - we got complacent and got rightfully punished. Too much squad rotation has had an effect on our style. Are we a team that deserve to be in the next round? No way and it might not sound right, but thank ALLAH we were embarrassed by Basel and not by Barcelona or Real Madrid. At the end of the day, we need to take a hard look at our work ethic. Manchester City's players and manager can go home knowing that they gave everything they had in the tank, even though they didn't progress through to the next round. Ah, well, Europa League should be interesting.

    Not many predicted, I don't think anyone did, Manchester United would have to at least draw away to Basel, in Switzerland, to stand a chance of progressing through to the last 16. Not the most familiar of territories for Manchester United, who have not replicated their domestic form to Champions League form. Instead, we've seen some subdued performances from The Red Devils, and most of that is primarily down to Sir Alex Ferguson's squad rotation policy, which, in truth, has hindered Manchester United's progress. However, in essence, they should be top of the table, without any excuses. Manchester United currently lie behind Benfica, with 9 points, on goal difference, while Basel are a point adrift. This game could go either way, Manchester United or even Basel have a chance of topping the group. This is not the Champions League predicament you expected them to face at the start of the season.

    It's unbelievable how much Manchester United has changed as a team since the 1-6 defeat to their arch rivals, Manchester City. Prior to the defeat, they were playing fluid, free flowing, attacking football, which was the best you could possibly get out of this current side (debatable), but they had a very leaky defence, most blame should be on the two central midfielders, Anderson and Cleverley, who have left masses of space for the opposition to exploit, which ironically didn't go noticed until Manchester United faced Basel at Old Trafford, in the breath taking 3-3 draw, but Cleverley wasn't present. Currently, Manchester United aren't playing the best of football, far from it, but they're getting the results which is the most important thing. As opposed to the beautiful elegance of their football at the start of this season, we're witnessing a lot of labour, just grinding out the win, showcasing the steel that makes Manchester United, well, Manchester United.

    de Gea

    Smalling - Vidic - Ferdinand - Evra

    Jones

    Fletcher - Giggs

    Nani - Rooney - Park

    David de Gea is expected to return in goal, after being rested against Aston Villa. Since the Bolton game away from home, which Manchester United comfortably won 5-0, the young Spaniard's confidence has risen to new heights; who would've thought that? He's gone on to make some crucial saves, just take a look at the last few games, where he has made some world class saves. Put all of that aside, it doesn't matter what you've done or what potential you have, de Gea simply has to put all nerves to one side, arguably this is his biggest game in a Manchester United shirt, based on circumstances alone. At right back, the ever so reliable, Chris Smalling. Smalling has flourished as a right back, showing how versatile and valuable an asset he is. On the other end, Patrice Evra, who has looked a shadow of his former self for quite some time, hasn't performed consistently enough in the Champions League, he simply has to deliver. At the heart of the defence, Nemanja Vidic, who has been sorely missed, and Rio Ferdinand, who looks more confident and solid with Vidic by his side. Not expecting them, especially the former, to lose any aerial duels, with the way they've performed over the past few games. Destitute of authority? Not any more.

    With the absence of Michael Carrick, which is a big blow considering he was Manchester United's best player last month, Phil Jones is the ideal man to take his role, which is where he essentially started off as with Blackburn (as a defensive midfielder). Performed considerably well against Aston Villa, scoring his first career goal with Manchester United. To partner him: Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs. Fletcher's industry is essential in a game of this magnitude, and, well, Giggs... something tells me he's going to be the creator in the middle of the park. It's not the most creative midfield on display, but the industry that Jones and Fletcher offer will help Manchester United's midfield battle. A 4-4-2 simply cannot be deployed, unless you want to get outnumbered, which we've seen far too many teams over the past three seasons, if you're a Manchester United fan.

    Finally, Luis Nani to attack down the right. The Portuguese delivery (not corners) specialist has been reignited after his impressive performance against Benfica. He simply has to start, you need quality in abundance in this game, and there's no one better than Nani down the right, simple as. On the left, the ever so industrious, Park Ji-Sung. Park has degraded in quality, he performs extremely well in big games, which is one of the main reasons he has to start, but when he has faced inferior opposition this season - he has flattered to deceive. The lone striker, Wayne Rooney, will have to be on his best behaviour. No need for stupidity, no over exuberance. Hasn't scored for 9 games in the league, his midfield transition hasn't done him any favours, but has shown glimpses of the quality he showed in 09/10. Expect him to lead the line efficiently.

    Let's face it, Manchester United should've qualified into the last 16 last week, when they faced Benfica at Old Trafford, or even earlier. The enduring problems with regards to Ferguson tweaking the formation and personnel has done The Red Devils no favour. Now, even if they do qualify, they can potentially face the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid. What Manchester United have shown over and over again, is that they are more than resilient, they can bounce right back up from an upset. Sit tight, folks, because it's going to be a bumpy 90 + mins of football you will witness on Wednesday night, far from predictable, too.
