Unreal that Taylor is the ref
Isn't he a united fan?

He may be but his card is marked. Taylor has been fine wi City in recent matches.

I would certainly prefer Taylor to a number of others.

My son used to do that when Sesame Street was on TV - Cookie Monster scared the shit out of him

Leave Shaw out of this.

Damn - I didn't think anyone would work out the rags player that I liked the Cookie to.

Hoping that Pogba is still out. Believe it or not, he is the one that I fear the most. The ghosts of 2018 die hard...

I honestly can’t remember being so confident of a win going into a derby

Me an all not only do we owe them a hammering but Im quite confident we will do

Can't see it myself, if we score first they'll go into full on damage limitation. 2-0 at best.

That second half was stage managed for them by the officials - breaking up city's play, awarding them free kicks for nothing (especially in dangerous areas) plus the penalty not given against aguero. Saying that, Sterling should have put it beyond reach in the first half.

I think that it is going to be very similar to the league game at the swamp.

They will be delighted with a boring point and will sit back and defend for their lives.
I think pep will be pragmatic and realise that a draw pretty much guarantees the title, especially if Leicester drop points tonight so won't go all out.

Nailed the game exactly.

The only good thing that came out of that result was there was no pitch invasion which would have no doubt led to a rag player being attacked/verbally abused and the club bring dragged through it in the press.

It certainly didn't make me feel better at the time, I was gutted, not felt as bad post game since Wigan made worse by missing being 4 up at HT. Even winning a big bet (for me) of over 1.5 City goals by HT didn't help.

Anyway not quite a league decider mathematically tomorrow but a chance to right that wrong.

Sad but true. Alty is the very best of a very bad bunch.
