To be fair Salford is their heartland, they might be based in Trafford but they are a Salford club in all but name. I’d also argue that far more blues live in Trafford than Salford, I take my hat off to blues in Salford being surrounded by them it’s on a par with City fans across the Irish Sea.

For years (and years, and years, and years....), I needed a decent pair of wellies on when I ventured outside. No; nothing to do with getting friendly with the local sheep population. It was just that you were surrounded by the fuckers on all sides, and you were ankle deep in bullshit. This past few years has seen a lot of chickens come home to roost.

Christ; this post looks like it was written by Kate humble!
 
The way the pisscan reacted to he Sunderland fans taking the piss shows the measure of them. They mocked Sunderland going down. Sunderland have ten times the class of that mob. A real club.

The thread how can we beat city on red cafe!! Oh how the night have fallen.

One of the tactical geniuses suggests “smash the little fuckers”

Nice!
 
I was thinking about the millions of Rags watching when we got the winner today. I bet they were gutted!
 
Watford, Arsenal, then us.

Not an easy run of games is it when you're huffing and puffing to get results against Brighton?

Would fancy Watford or Arsenal (100% record at home this season and it's at the Emirates) to make the gap 10 points before the derby.

Tactics on Borinho board

Play Lukaku and big conk up top with Bogbrush and Matic behind hoof the ball as far up in the air as possible to them head ball on dive or elbow someone if that don’t work scream and roll around on the floor holding your head kick Sliva Kdb sterling as hard you can.

the thing is they won't even have the ball for 80% of the game and setting up for long balls is a numbers game. So that tactic isn't going to work
 
Are we not getting a little blase about this whole derby thing.....everyone's thinking it's in the bag. Them fuckers are capable of winging it by 1, (they're not capable of scoring more) goal(s) irrespective of who plays the better foot (hoof) ball. On paper , yes, on past matches, yes, players on the pitch, yes, management, yes.....but against that lot.....MMmmmm. I'll be on pins that's for sure.
 
In all seriousness all we can do is take one game at a time and hope that the football we play is the winner.

Yesterday the rags were shit and could have dropped another 2 points, giving us a 10 point lead, as it turned out they got the win and at half time today things were looking ropey for us. If they had held on we could have been looking at a 5 point gap.

Pep needs to ensure that we are just taking it one game at a time.
 
The Red Cafe ‘how yo beat city’ thread. You’d have thought they were Huddersfield not a team with 2 80mil plus players in it and the ‘Special one’, second season and all that - some want Lukaku dropped!!

They should be more worried about beating Watford and Arsenal because if they don’t and we do the business this week then Burnley will be breathing down their necks
 
Tuesday night will be key, if they fail to win against Watford and we win at home to Soton the following night then the pressure on then to get a win at the Emerites will be huge, more so it will play into Arsenals hands, The last thing that Jose would want to do is to go all guns blazing away from home to a top 6 side. He will want to sit deep and keep the game tight hoping for a break. The advantage we have this week is that we get to see how the rags get on before we play.

That's key in my eyes, Arsenal have been very good on the counter this season and the shit can't defend without 8 minimum behind the ball.
 
just as a point of interest since the Premier league started the 2nd placed team have only ever accumulated more than 86 points twice, both times it was the rags.

If the repeats this year then all we need in theory is 50 points from 25 games, basically we could get away with 15 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats, given how we have played this season i think that run would be seen disappointing for us.
 
Just read the how to beat city thread.
Many are saying man mark KDB to stop us.
What they haven't realised is that he is the wrong one they need to stop - if they, or anyone, are to beat us they would need to stop Silva.
Funnily enough, saw something on Facebook this week about who is the best player in the league. Few said, Salah, Hazard and Kane.
Most said KDB. City fans on there all said Silva.
