lets hope we don't donate 3 points to the save our ole fund!

Can't afford that after Palace result

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Usually home in the Autumn away in the spring, don't know why it's been moved round.

Used to be away first then home. Seemed to change after the 11-12 season for some reason.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

0-3 Blues. 2 up at half time, tremendous boos at half time aimed at the PE teacher, Foden worldie in the second. More boos at full time. Can't wait.

give a prematch presser to someone else than Pep. dont want to listen how great United are and how good for City to be fighting with them toe to toe but only in last 7-8 years.

our record recently is dog shit in PL vs them. Last two seasons we lost 3x, draw 1x of 4 games. both home games we lost actually.

they will raise their games but we need to raise ours both mentally and tactically as well especially in creating good chances and scoring and cutting out stupid mistakes at the back.

for Chelsea and Liverpool it will be pretty much 6 points total, home and away wins vs these jokers.

maybe mentioned already but wasnt there a clear change this season that club plays Wed evening in CL will not be put for the Saturday 1230 slot?
wouldnt surprise me if we are the only club that happens out of the 6x midweek CL rounds.

We'll win this. We'll dominate the ball and the movement of foden, Gabby and Bernardo will cause havoc for the overrun utd midfield.

 

[bluemoon32]

Not confident, i think we'll struggle if I'm honest

 

[AlanBalls]

Reckon United will approach this the way Chelsea did in the CL Final, complete with the 5 at the back they used against Spurs. Soak it up and shithouse their way forward on the break, front two being Rashford and Ronaldo with Bruno in behind.

Sit Fernandinho or Rodri nice and deep instead of whatever we pulled back in May and we should be OK in dealing with it. Scoring ourselves against yet another deep set back line is another matter entirely…

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

We are the better team by a long way. A level playing field and we destroy them.

However, we are a bent ref away from getting battered and the Rag's 'turning another corner'. Let's not forget how good it would be for the 'product' with a competitive Manchester U****d.

Never forget Scudamore's 2015 comments:

“When your most popular club isn’t doing as well, that costs you interest and audience in some places.”.

The PL are sh*tting themselves that their cash cow is going down the toilet.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Fear we will get turned over in some capacity or another.

There's no way they are turning up against us as they did against Liverpool.

As they have previously shown, they struggle with the ball and will be happy to go long and hit balls into the channels.

Take our chances, first and foremost.
