Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Okay then. My bad. I thought getting a result means a draw too.

It does.

A result of any kind which accumulates points.

Sitting down in a swamp for 90 minutes invites all sorts of illnesses from cryptosporidium to infection by a brain eating amoeba*. Which explains the poor sods who go there every week.

*This is true.

We've got to overcome those if we want to be champions again. We cannot have any sympathy in this game . No matter what media says, how ref acts,what players think /react , whatever their fans are going through ,home advantage etc etc etc on and on - we have to rise above it . Do that and we can win the game .

In what f***ing universe could City or City supporters have any sympathy for that lot, with all their arrogance and taunts for so long? Sod them all to hell, or at least the northern premier league.

I was thinking a different sort of feeling;)

I know. What just trying to make the thread less sordid ;-)

Nervy win for City I see us getting at least two goals and they may get one from a dodgy pen

 

[IM NOT REALLY HERE]

So I have just seen a comment on Facebook that United still have tickets for sale on their website so I went on and had a look, at least 25 blocks with tickets still available.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Anyone else really fucking nervous all of a sudden?

Yep - every time my mind wanders to tomorrow night, I have to visit the toilet. Keep visiting BlueMoon for some words of comfort & reassurance that everything will be alright.

I absolutely hate derbies at the best of times, but this one is going to destroy what's left of my nervous system.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

For anyone that is interested I did a look ahead at the derby with Leon Mike for Sky Sports News ....apparently it’s just been on so I suspect will be on a loop for the next couple of hours

Leon a staunch red and fearing the worst

Haha I do but everyone is shitting it.

OGS getting his Ref awareness act on the road...

"They will snap at your ankles and heels and kick you," he said. "They will not allow us easy counter-attacking. There will be fouls. No doubt about it because they commit so many players forward and will be stopping us as high as they can.

Pathetic ****

Not all of a sudden.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

The Gimp stated in his press conference "They (City) will snap at your ankles and kick you, because there will be fouls no doubt about it"


Now the truth
Footstats

League table of fouls

United 395 3rd
City 291 20th

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Anyone else really fucking nervous all of a sudden?

Will be during the game but less so now.We gave ourselves a huge amount to do with those run of losses in December & January so it was always a big ask to win the title. If we win 14 games on the trot to do it that will be incredible but if not we'll have to take it on the chin and go again next season.

Eez football..

We're going to hammer them.

Why does'nt Pep come out and say that Ķev will be fit to play tomorrow, so they'll change their tactics, then when the team sheet is announced he wont be on it which will fuck them up

Because he is not a child

Manchester United will make changes in defence after Phil Jones was forced off through injury in the loss at Everton.

Ander Herrera is expected to be available after four weeks out with a thigh injury, while Luke Shaw returns from suspension.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne will miss the derby after sustaining a muscular problem last weekend.
