How are some of you lot so knowledgeable about them - their formation, their players, their system/style of play? I only watch them twice a season with drink taken. The only thing I know about them with any certainty is that they play in red.

Most support them

First goal is 'massive'

We get it and they might come forward a bit more.

They get it and it'll just be a repeat of the 0-2 last season.

The best we could've hoped for. Had no complaints with his performance at the Bridge earlier this season.

PiGMOLs top team on the pitch with inexperienced VAR ref.

I think the team picks itself. Same as Chelsea and Liverpool with the obvious Stones in for Laporte.

 

[Blu1]

Biggest concern for me is what team pep going with & can we stop their attack.

midfield is crucial in this game.

oddly pressure off them & their confidence is probably a bit better right now.

we could easily win by 6 or lose 3-1. That’s how confused I am with this game.

A must win game, no if’s no buts and no fuckfacing maybe’s .. No excuses for us on this one, everyone needs to step up and wipe the floor with these rag cunts…

Does anyone know why this is a 12:30 ko on Saturday? Cant remember the last time this happened for our Derby, its usually a 4pm ko on a Sunday

So we can have more of the weekend to enjoy beating the twats.

Funnily enough, the City official site have highlights of the 2014 derby at home, we won 1-0 and a certain Mr Oliver was refereeing. City players being knocked over like skittles in the area, of course no penalties.

In all fairness to Mr Oliver, he refereed our game at Stamford Bridge brilliantly.

Which probably means he owes us a shit show.....

Pep has said Brugges our biggest game this week

Tbf he tends to underplay the derby judging by previous performances in it

Not sure he 100% gets it

IMO he certainly does, he has been here long enough now to understand how much we despise the red cnuts and how much it does mean to the fans! He does tend to underplay it and i believe its an attempt to take the pressure off the players a little and not let them get embroiled into the frenzy, that we get ourselves whipped up into as fans.
I seem to recall him doing the same with the 'El Classico' game in his time at Barca....

Last one I can think of was back in January 2006. We beat them 3-1. Ronaldo was sent off and Evra made his debut and Sinclair absolutely owed him
