forget this bollocks about united not wanting to beat man city and they will roll over because they would hate liverpool winning the league ??? they would love nothing more than beating man city and would be happy in knowing they (liverpool) only won the league because we beat city ?? twisted glory hunters

city have to win their own 4 games and never think anybody will roll over in the run up to the title, and if we lose the title its because we fucked up not because united beat us, its because the league is a 38 game season and many other things happen over the 9 months like injuries to key players and having to many off days, and not hungry enough to fight even when all seems lost and wet windy and cold and your asked to you find something inside yourself, if you want it bad enough champions find it

Great post
 
I really hope it proves to be an easy win, but even while being terrible at times this season, Utd have still only lost once at home.

Somehow, it takes an awful lot to win at OT ... in last 2 games, Watford and West Ham played well / created lots of chances/ were comfortably the better team ... but Utd still beat them both.

Sorry for the negativity ... just worrying that being the better team is rarely enough to win at OT.
 
PogBad want £400 grand a week to join Madrid.

Looks like he might be getting splinters with the shit piano player.

I hate to say it but there's no doubt in my mind they will play MUCH better against us on Wednesday.

In fairness it would be extremely difficult for them not to play much better!
I don't think a good performance against City is going to have OGS change his view on any of the players. His mind is well and truly made up. Problem will be trying to shift the lazy high earners on to other clubs.

Gotta love the flapping on here. Wounded animal? A wounded kitten wouldn’t be able to fight the fucking flies off! Wish Everton hadn’t dicked ‘em? Why the fuck not? I wish they’d put 6 passed the tossers. Would you rather the Rags came into this game winning 4-0? Come on. When Pogbad looks around their dressing room pre-match and sees Jones, Young and Matic do you think he takes inspiration from that? Do you think he responds to the OGS fancam pre-match “do it for the trinity” speech? Does he fuck. It’s all hot air and will predictably end in a comfortable City win. They are shite and they know they’re shite. Flailing in the water, knobs out, calling for the class of 92 spirit to be miraculously summoned and help them through the fog of mediocrity that has enveloped their shitstain of a club.

We’ll go there, do our job, take the points and fuck off. Then on to Burnley..

All the above was true in last April's derby - even more so at half time when we could easily have been 7-0 up. As undynamic as Ole may be, he's more persuasive than Mourinho who somehow managed to convince them to pick themselves off the carpet and record one of the most unlikely comebacks in recent years. Then look at how wide open we were at times against Spurs. And it should be obvious this is nowhere near the fait accompli you portray above.

I agree that lamenting the Everton massacre makes no sense - we are better playing them demoralised. But we let our intensity drop or go too gung-ho, we can easily get punished.

It's not simply because it's a derby. I think several players there could give a care about that in itself, but what they do care about is showing the bare minimum to what's required for maintaining their careers and to ensure other clubs scouting them see something worth buying.

Whilst on the big stage against us is when this matters most, especially following what transpired yesterday.

They’ve come in to a mere 5/1 now for the home win... when were they last that price at home? A fair while I’d guess

Bet365 are offering 13/2.
They go 6/1 that we win by 4 or more goals.
Let that sink in :)


As for when they were last that price, probably against Barca.
 
A fixture that anyone of a certain generation just wants to see the back of. As long as we get 3 points, I could give no fucks how we get them.

Would love to see Sane play but Pep obviously thinks our game management isn’t the same when he plays.
 
Keane and Hart the pundits for Sky. Surprised we've actually got a City pundit, I thought they'd give us Hargreaves.
