Thank fuck the England cricket team are taking my mind off pre derby nerves

Anyone got the 'I want a penalty' Rat image aka Bruno Fernadez

The FA Cup Final was a classic example of how we were totally dominant and yet they could have scrawped a 2-2 then no doubt beat us on pens.

That's more like it.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Hope we don't give them ANY corners.

Good strong start required, 3 up by HT and we can relax in the 2nd half.

 

[Haaland94]

Probably been said already, but that's our strongest 11 for today, no doubt about it. Most of us, myself included, have guessed it days in advance, yet the media spreads bollocks about "leaks."

Their XI fills me with confidence
But only if we get the first goal
An early goal will be good
Expect them to have 10 men behind the ball and play on the counter attack, like last season
They restricted the space for our attacking players last season
Surely an early goal would see it open up a bit

You mean their tactic of hoofball?

Jack played very well in midweek, well I thought so anyway. A big part of winning the treble, then injury early this season. I think Pep will want him to continue his form from Wednesday. And Doku off the bench later. Works for me

In previous derbies the balloon door contender Wan Beeswacker had Jack in his pocket.

No relaxing today foot on throat keep pushing down .

No!! 3 up by HT and put another 5 past them in the second half. No mercy!!!

Dare I say……one shot, one goal for the scum?

Rashford miss hit shot rolls under Eddie?

 

[danielwood5]

That's a shocking starting 11 by those cunts.

I never thought in 2023 I'd be seeing Maguire and Evans as a centre back pairing in a Manchester Derby.

 

[its a Barm]

Just fuckin win please

 

[RobinHood]

 

[west didsblue]

I`m going a JFE red card and 6-1 to City

Yep, including a couple from Grealish with a “Why always me” celebration after his first.

Dont speak to soon, keep your powder dry….

 

[MCFC1993]

Feels like the season starts today for me, the opening 2 months haven't really kicked in for me but this feels like we're about to kick start something.

Good performance please blues.

 

[Stockport mackem]

4-1 to the blues.....

 

[uwerosler28]

Is today a joint tribute with Franny?

Exactly a derby is a derby and form goes out of the window. It's not like we are exactly flowing ourselves, we are stuttering too. The officials worry me. We were denied one clear cut penalty, they were given a ludicrous one and Casimero should have been sent off but wasn't. There is no doubting where this refs loyalty lies.
