United away - pre-match thread

[Bluemanc100]

It's been a few years since I have followed this forum closely...but pre-derby excitement got the better of me - particularly given the fact that I'm at work!

I must say that I am pretty shocked at some of the comments. Being a City fan has always been about self-depreciating humour and genuinely, humbly celebrating even the slightest positive moments. On the flip side, supporting the rags has always been about glory hunting, gloating and arrogance. Reading the majority of posts on this thread, I wasn't sure which fans we were.

Enjoy derby day blues...but REMEMBER who we are and what we're all about.

Prediction: 0-0. ;)

0-0 Yeah right.... comparing us to rags... fatal

actuakly he says he should have been done, then goes on to question how the ref didn't see it. Rest of it is, united are big and they're gonna hoof it.

aye, at least he says the retrospective ban is fishy, no one else seems to have bothered analysing it, just accepting it.

Anyone else get the feeling that today is really going to drag, just want this game over and out of the way.

Preferably with 3 points in the bag.

Don't think i can bare this media love in for the rags much longer, god i hope we win tomorrow and dont care how, just that we win. Its almost brain washing me into fearing were gonna get hammered tomorrow 6-0 and they win the league after 4 games. According to just about every media article ive read and heard zlatan is unstoppable, pep aint all that and we are nothing without Kun. I can honestly say ive never known a derby day like this with such one sided build up. Roll on tomorrow.

Nolito to drag Bailly out of position with Sane and Sterling darting inside, putting their FBs on their weaker feet, for the pullback/shot/pen.

Big nose is offside.

The office this week has been the most bizarre pre-derby....... Nobody is saying anything, reds or blues.... Not a single word. Its normally a good week of trading blows, abuse, piss taking.

Seems both sets of fans are worried...

I might have to kick things off later, the silence feels wrong....

Pep fucking loved that game. They were doing exactly as he wanted.

They didn't play like that for most of it, so I can imagine they were.

They caught us out frequently by passing the ball in a group on one side then firing it over to a free man on the other.

Pep loved that game.

That isn't the game, it's a small section of nice but largely ineffective possession.
