[Bez]

Assuming the ref does not give The Shits a helping hand we will beat the big spending under achievers. Come on City!

Game over by half time. They are wank.

Nervous as always for a derby. They are not as shit as people say they are but on their best day they can’t lay a glove on us. If we play to our capabilities then we should win this well. However football is a mysterious game, emotions could come into play and I will never trust the officials to do right by us against them. Hope we absolutely smash the fuckers.

 

[heslops barnet]

Not a major problem
Ortega
Walker Stones Laporte Ake
Rodri Gundogan
Bernardo
Mahrez Haaland Foden
Still plenty good enough to beat United and that’s worse case if all 4 are missing

Not sure about that. Donut Boy is the worst keeper on planet earth at stopping them.

And Eddy’s better?

Apologies if already explained, but whats the reason grealish and dias havent even trained in 10 days? is it a rest or injury related? Seems a long lay off with no football.

Will Varane and Pat butcher be available for them?

Most keepers save their best performances for when they play us…..

If anything playing against the scum has taught us is that it's never over at halftime, playing against us is their cup final

 

[blueparrot]

Doesn't matter when we can't take the fuckers.

When it comes to shoot outs we can.

 

[blueparrot]

And Eddy’s better?

Won't be playing.

I want it 4-0 then when the fifth goes in on the hour mark the unwashed hordes initiate a mass-exodus back to London.

They can’t really go back to London if they are in London?

My deep seated paranoia when playing the rag scum is simmering to the boil.
- Will our A players having a well earned layoff disrupt our recent fluency?
- Are some of them injured and peps hiding it? or is he playing mind games with the rags.?
- is he (god forbid) keeping them wrapped in cotton wool and saving them for the Milan final.?

Where the hell did I leave those diazepam?

Pep is really smart, his real top priority is the CL trophy. He doesn't want to risk injury to top players in the FA Cup, least important of the three, so for the last two games he's fielded bench players and academy lads in order to gauge if they, themselves could beat the Rags. By now he will have his answer.

I think our boys know the significance to the club,fans and also their own individual legacies.I think they want this as much as us and united will not be spoiling the party on Saturday.
We are a well maintained thing of precision and this settled eleven and we know who they are will just click on and run until the job is done.I called the Real second leg score and I feel the outcome will be similar if not the same.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Good point

 

[nellyonthewing]

The scum will play for penalties.

Not sure about that. Donut Boy is the worst keeper on planet earth at stopping them.

Disagree . If Eddie plays I’ve yet to see him get close to one.
They clearly practice them and have a high conversion rate . We need to crush them early on and they’ll fall apart like they did against Liverpool. If we ease off like we did in the hatricks derby we may come unstuck.

 

[Len Rum]

According to the Evening News, Akanji, de Bruyne, Dias and Grealish are all major doubts.

The article I read said 'doubts' not 'major doubts' but maybe I've not seen the one you refer to.

 

[Dicko69]

I'm not too nervous, pep has got the squad he wants playing the way he wants. This season especially in the big games. Think Liverpool, arsenal, bayern, Madrid, if you're getting stressed about our next 2 games, I suggest you rewatch some of these games. We can dominate games now without the threat of a counter attack + we have a finisher who is absolutely desperate to score on these types of games and usually does
