City v United pre-match thread (team news pg 66)

[lancs blue]

It has draw written all over it. Which wouldn't be very good. We need to beat these fcukers and put daylight between us.

Purely in terms of the top 4 race a draw would be acceptable given the injury/tiredness issues with Dave, Kun, Dinho and Vinny. It would leave us one point behind the dippers with a game in hand while retaining a one point lead over the rags who have a tougher finish. Of course it would be much better to smash the twats but we're not in a position to be choosy right now.

That's a measure of how far our aspirations have sunk over the season. Scrapping it out with these agricultural cnuts for the wooden spoon.

A draw will be fine. Stay in front of United and with a game in hand over Liverpool which we'll overtake them if we win. Just can't afford to lose.

But I'm pessimistic. Tempted to drop Sterling and Sané just to show them that what they did- or rather couldn't be bothered to do- yesterday is not acceptable. De Bruyne is probably going to have to play which I'm not too thrilled about. Jesus should start if he can, unless Aguero is fit.

We need to fucking stand up as a club and a set of fans in front of this shower of shit.
No time for pretty football and ethos, that time has gone for this season. Lets fucking get about them as a team and not let that potato headed big eared twat ref the game. I want them beaten out of site and NOTHING else will be acceptable. We are by far a better footballing side so lets show it.

If we set about them then we end up with 9 or 10 on the pitch

Really worried about this, would take a draw right now. if Silva and Kun are out we're fucked, along with Kompany they're really our only genuine world class players. You just don't know which city will turn up these days, let's hope we get an early goal which will calm the nerves!

We won't stay ahead so i wouldn't let the lead calm you

Rooney to ref the game with Oliver as back up.
Kicked to death all games, Utd taking in turns to kick us so about 60 fouls, 6 each before the 1st yellow. Kompany booked early for a non yellow 1st foul.
A&E to get away with 2 reds for elbowing, us to dominate possession but to concede 3 times the number of free kicks.
We will have about 8 corners and do nothing with them and them 2 and score from 1.
1-3 Defeat with us 3 down due to a soft penalty, a deflection and an offside goal and we start getting free kicks around the 85th minute when it doesn't matter and then get an injury time penalty so people can say we get them and don't get shafted.
Oh and for us to miss about 10 sitters

I think you're spot on there, reckon we'll finish 3rd and united 4th with both Liverpool and Arsenal missing out

its sky hoping to beam live right around the whole the fight for 4th place but its a joke liverpool and arsenal are in a mess in the league and city run is far better than united so if we take the points in the derby 3rd place is ours and liverpool will lose 4th spot
