Love the time of the year, just before Autumn, when United fans are like "if you defend perfectly for 90 minutes, and they have an off day, and you're clinical in front of goal, then, with a hope and prayer, you can get at this team on the counter". Yeah, no shit, but that's how far back you've fallen.
 
I worry that these twats will try and hit EH and KDB early through thugs like McTominay etc.

Will need strong refereeing in the first 10-15 minutes and I hope that our boys are ready to play the dark arts stuff if needed.
 
Need to send this scum a short sharp reminder of where they are in the picking order , Muck Tag will play cautiously because he knows if his team tries to attack we will smash them to pieces. If we get an early goal it will be interesting to see if they have a plan B , the amount of money they have blown on that sqaud should make them real contenders , the reality is they have vastly over paid for average footballers , 3-1 with Erling grabbing a brace.

Haaland didn’t have his career ended by united

I feel like there's been some revisionist history on this one. I was quite young at the time so it's a bit hazy here, and I know Alf had been dealing with injuries already, but from what I remember after the Keane horror tackle (assault, really) he never played a full 90 again did he?

At the very least I think it was the final nail in his coffin?
 
Reckon tierney will get this one, he seems to be PIGMOB’s go to ref for the two red **** teams these days. Given how he let Milner off yellow and red cards time and time again last season. The alti **** consistently let Fabinho and Thiago get away with cards at the Etihad last season but I doubt he is allowed to ref us in consecutive games

He didn’t end his career, he retired due to his left knee, Keane done his right knee

Yeah it was well known at the time, but appart from it being a pre-existing injury to the other leg and playing on in the game, it has become some folklore for a fake hardman. When Keane's book came out everyone was on about legal action and Haaland said it was the other leg that ended his career.
 
I think it will be a bit closer than in recent times so 7-0 to City with Foden, Haaland and KDB getting 2 each. Bernardo will also score a worldie on the volley just to put the cherry on the top of the derby demolition cake.

They won’t get near us mate. They’ll be chasing shadows. Must be the slowest midfield in the PL.
 
It could be anything and recent history suggests the away side does better so I will keep my powder dry. I think we're playing them at the right time with no immediate pressure on the outcome of the result.
 
Impossible to call this one. In spite of a fairly decent start for us we're not firing on all cylinders, which is normal due to our changes this season. The rags, after an horrific start, are looking better and will trouble us on the break.
