I have a psychologist friend who suggested the other day to watch the game with the sound off?

I've done this for the last 3 years and can heartily recommend it.

What am I missing? I know what a football crowd sounds like, and I have zero interest in having something that I can see with my own eyes being described by some dick who is being paid to promote a pre-determined narrative through his "analysis".

For home matches I'm at the game and for most aways I also follow the match day thread on here which, despite its many peccadilloes, can be highly entertaining!
 
I hate derby's, I feel sick now just thinking about it. I feel sorry for anyone that gets as worked as i do, it's fucking ridiculous, but it's because I hate them so much. I hate the players, the manager, the supporters, everything about them.

I get flashbacks to when I used to get home from Maine road, after getting beat by the likes of stockport county, to be abused for hours by cocky reds, dressed in their red shirts, who wouldn't know where the ground is, or be able to name their first team

I just want to beat them so badly

The tele will go through if I have to see that **** Ashley young beating his chest in celebration, I would never get tired of stamping on his face

Lets hope so!

I think im still haunted by the defeat there last year when we were truely awful and it was all very predictable what would happen

In the interest of fairness however...lets hear what u think we should play/ how we should set up

have a funny feeling were going to see a repeat of that amazing day.
This time like that game is after the same amount of games.
If we win we will be 5 points in front of them at the top of the league.
The game before that we scored 5 against spurs.
We obviously scored 5 at weekend.
What odds on 6 . 1 again

I have it on good authority that United are playing a weakened side tomorrow. Prioritising little city over the CL hey, oh how times change.
 
As has been said by others, I hate derby day. Spend ages trying to get tickets, eventually get them, get into the shithole & as soon as the first whistle goes, I want it to be over.

Even the 6-1 gave nervy moments as I was convinced when Fletcher scored their goal that we had blown it & were about to lose.

As for predictions for Sunday, not a clue about the score, but guaranteed a lot of nerves for me.

Like you I'm at all the home games, for aways I watch a foreign stream, crowd noise and no biased shit that I can understand.

Truthfully blues the days of worrying about playing these raggy cnuts are long gone

While we should not be lying awake at night thinking about it we should be concerned. We saw what happened in raggy land last time and I for one don't want to
see a repeat. Would be nice to win but in light of the circumstances a draw would be more than acceptable. As may have been pointed out there has not been a draw in this fixture in a while. A nil all at home a few years back is the last I can remember. Keep the faith.
 
Keep Herrera quiet and defend crosses well and we will win the match. I have no doubt that Fellaini will play again and they will target the back post like last year. Herrera is a top little player who moves very well off the ball. Yaya will not be able to pick him up. I'm personally fearing the worst for the first time in ages!
 
3 Man centre mid, Fernando, Fernandinho and Yaya, is an absolute must IMO. I agree with borassic, I think screech will play. Van Gaal won't want to play us at "football", as if our players turn up, we could easily dominate the game. they will get the ball wide and look for that freak up top. Pellers may well play navas and sterling to help out against the fullbacks crossing the ball in?
 
Rag at work: "Beat you 4-1 last season, not concerned about Sunday."
Me: "4-2."
Rag: "4-1. Last goal didn't count as we were down to ten men with injury."

I give up.
 
need to nip this rag revival in the bud , give them a lesson on sunday , and just show them how far they are way from being champions , if we can do this without or most influential players , the raggies will be gutted .But if the turtle does somehow scrape a victory on sunday , the rag wankathon will be into overdrive for the next 6 months , and they wll be nailed on for the quadruple , so its our duty to extinguish any hope they have.
 
yep, Fern and Fern must both play, with Toure more free to attack with Kev, Raheem and Wilf. We can call on Jesus if needed, assuming Nasri isn't fit.

And yes, put the right person to mark Elbows the Belgian.
