Manchester United (A) - Pre Match Thread

[DTeacher]

heart rate's increasing, the mind's wandering, not looking at some people the way I did yesterday... it must be derby day

Nah, mate.

You're in love.

;)

 

[lazerblue]

Same here stomach churning, not sure I'm gonna survive these remaining 4 games and tonight in particular!! Come on City.

i was still a bag of nerves till the fourth went in during the 6-1

 

[paulchapo]

After 35 games their luck is not going to change,they have been helped all season,it's not going to stop now

I agree but I live in hope. Huddersfield are dreadful though but I dream they defend like lions, get all the luck and a 0-0.

 

[stonerblue]

Right, all jobs done for the day so time to hit the pub before returning home to see us smash fuck out of em. COME ON CITY...

 

[Bluearmy]

Ole’s taken them back to the “iconic” The Cliff training ground pre game. We’re fucked!!

 

[The Black Shed]

Nah, mate.

You're in love.

;)

yeah, with CITY!

Funny how I have the same feelings as I always have with them lot, 80s, 90s etc
Our recent successes are irrelevant to the derby emotion

 

[aguero93:20]

Funny, not seen any combined XI's prior to this game, wonder why..............?

The combined XI will be named by Guardiola an hour before kickoff.

 

[sir baconface]

How I’d laugh if Fern accidentally tripped Noddy on his way to the dugout.

 

[HelloCity]

Whatever it takes.

 

[DTeacher]

Ole’s taken them back to the “iconic” The Cliff training ground pre game. We’re fucked!!

He is at the wheel of the bus as it goes OVER THE CLIFF

 

[Chi-town blues]

There’s a big difference between a wounded tiger and a wounded sheep.
We are a wounded tiger after the var fuck up .

 

[ninjamonkey]

For some strange reason the comfort blanket of being able to throw all the blame at united who won’t want to take credit for handing Liverpool a title if we don’t win tonight is working for me so far, hardly any nerves and I usually hate derby games because of them. I suspect that will change about an hour before kick off though.

I agree but I live in hope. Huddersfield are dreadful though but I dream they defend like lions, get all the luck and a 0-0.

Sometimes when the pressure is off teams start to play.
Look at Fulham.
We tonight we win the league 100%

 

[aguerooooo]

No point in looking forward fixture wise there last three are Huddersfield relegated and damage limitation at best Newcastle, cannot see the spanish waiter demanding his team throw the kitchen sink at it, possibly endeavouring to keep his LFC Badge hidden and finally Wolves, who have had a fair season back in the prem but i cant see that they will have the will and want to stop a scouse party So its got to be a good un tonight we cannot rely on snookers

 

[rnblade]

We win tonight, or the title becomes nearly impossible as I don’t see the jammy dippers dropping points.

We will have to be at our most ruthless tonight. They won’t give us much, but they know they need to win to push for CL spot. It might play into our hands, as long as we don’t defend like we did in CL or PL v Spurs. We were lucky in the league not to be punished for those, it was some last ditched defending and great display by Eddy.
A clinical display with possession will frustrate them and we should be coming away with 3 points and 1 step closer to destroying the dipper media wankfest.

 

[domalino]

Yeah, I was surprised that Herrera seemingly isn't in the squad. I guess they've just decided to exclude him and plan for the future now that he's leaving. Either that, or he not fully fit. Either way, I think their team would be stronger tonight with him in it.

I think Herrera is injured.

If not I bet he can't believe his luck. 200k/week contract at PSG signed and he doesn't even have to play out Uniteds embarrassing slip out of the CL places.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Do what we did against Spurs in the CL at home and we’ll crucify them.

Yep, they would never be able to cope with the pace and quality of football we played in that match.

 

[burning blue soul]

We beat them all over the pitch. Get an early goal and the fans will shut up, tensions will rise, and ogs is driving out of that place in an armoured truck!

 

[york away to this!]

I assume Marriner has been reviewing our disgusting tactics in a little private session with Fergusson and the great Ole. If fern plays he'll be booked in five minutes and sent off within ten. I'm still sticking with my 0-4 though...

 

[remember arthur mann]

People getting a little too cockney !!
