Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

At least they’d have a day less rest than us as they play today ...

Which btw brings me to their game vs Everton today ... what result is best for us in that? Them winning so they can ‘afford’ losing to us midweek before playing Chelsea in their quest for reaching the top 4? Surely them losing today would make them play harder against us if they still want to make top 4? Then there’s the old argument of winning breeds confidence etc and if they lose that’d put a dent in their confidence ... I can’t decide which way today’s game suits us best ... a couple of red cards and suspensions would do to say Rashford and Pogba.

it suits us best to hope for the best and plan for the worst. we have to prepare for a war.
lots have been saying united may lie down, nope, not gonna happen.
first, money is too big in sports now, every player has so much to play for to try and secure their stack,
and second, real sportsman don't think like that, it's inherently important to oneself to try hard and not be embarrassed.
third, they don't tend to dwell on previous results, they are always looking forward optimistically.

Rags defence is wank so exploit that with sane and sterling on the wings, but these ****s will be up for it gonna be either a though and tense odd goal win or a cake walk.

Ditto. I was thinking exactly same thoughts yesterday and still can't decide which the best outcome would be. If they lose today, then if results don't go their way, then defeat against us could be fatal so they play like men possessed. But like you say, a win puts their tails up. It's a tricky one alright. Fuck it, it's them rag bastards..COME ON YOU TOFFEES! !

Please No Mahrez, and don’t put him on at Leicester either, he’s not bringing what we need and we might as well go out with 10.

Already shitting bricks, and it's only sunday. I fucking hate derbies. Even now, when we're clearly the better team. And even if there was fuck all riding on the game.

Hate derbies too, but never been so confident so close to one. It will have gone by Wednesday afternoon though no doubt.
