Brenski, not sure where your mates think O'Shea should be playing, but "the reserves" would be my choice.
If they're worried about people playing out of position, try Rooney on the wing, RvN as a lone striker, Wes Brown & Quinton Fortune at full back, Silvestre at centre back, Alan Smith in midfield, and David Bellion in a Utd shirt...
Having said that, there is a feeling that Smith may make a pretty decent CM - better than Miller/Kleberson etc.
It would be nice to see some changes, I just don't think that the changes we'll get will be a) the changes we'd like, or b) successful ones.

I think the league title shows Chelsea has the best starting XI. They had their fair share of injuries too. With whichever forward and Tiago replacement Mourinho brings in will make that even more the case next seasoin.
a league is over 38 games...therefore involving injuries.
chelsea had an excellently assembled squad
arsenal didnt. everytime pascal cygan played, the opposition manager just grinned(im sure)
For me United need a right back, a midfielder to give Keane some support, a striker and another winger. I'd get rid of Kleberson/Miller/Van N/Saha too. Fortune is a good squad player I think.
Arsenal need about the same really. Could be worse and be Liverpool who are only 9 players short of a decent team.

Get rid of Van Nistelrooy??.. Because a played some bad matches the last months?? "Van The Man" has been injured for almost the whole season. You can't blame him for not making the difference. A fit Van Nistelrooy brings a guarantee of 30 goals a season.
The weakness of "Man U" is their back players. You can't have two pure defenders as backs. If you want to be a real top club, you need backs who can built up an attack. And "Man U" need a better goalie. They could get Van de Sar for free, but there was no interest... Unbelievable.
I thought Lehman (or however you spell it) was awesome for Arsenal. kept them in the game really.
Well, he almost lost the game for Arsenal, when Van Nistelrooy hit the bar. He could have catched that pass easily, but went back in the goal.
The Miracle - no offense, but you are talking bollocks. Without even looking it up I'm guessing there is a German/Dutch rivalry going on here.
Van The Man to me is some money that United could do with for a couple of players. I said exactly the same long before he lost United the cup final. We all have different views. I'm not United's biggest fan at all but I think they've changed their style for Rooney, and should keep it that way.

Feel sorry for United, they should have walked it. Alex Ferguson put on a brave face for the post match interview but he must have been seething inside! Poor bastard.
For me, the highlight of the day was something John Motson said. Ashley Cole was attacking down the left wing and put an inch perfect cross (sarcasm) waaaaay into the crowd behind the goal and Motty said "Well, you don't need a Premier League enquiry into what happen there" - classic.
ps If anyone from the FA reads this board, get rid of the fucking penalties.

about time they got cheated out of something.
You could say they have just been cheated out of a thriving football club!
bigc seems to be implying that previously Utd have cheated other clubs out of cups. I'm sure he's just waiting for an invitation to list them...
Anyway, next season we don't need a right back. Two Nevilles are more than adequate.
-------------Howard------------
G Neville---Rio---Wes----Heinze
Ronaldo--Smith--Fletcher--Giggs
----------RvN----Rooney--------
Is a pretty decent first 11.
JoS, P Neville, Silvestre & Spector provide defensive cover
Keane & Scholes plus JoS & P Nev can cover midfield,
Saha, Solskjaer & Rossi can cover the wings and the forward positions.
Add a reserve keeper and that's a decent 21 man squad. Selling Kleberson, Bellion & Miller should fund a keeper quite satisfactorily, leaving us with spare for the transfer window if necessary.
