Manchester United (A) - Sat 6 Nov 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

In the cold light of day Pep is correct the Bruges game is more important , if we lose the pressure is on to win our last two group games , if we lose to the Rags we have another 27 games to respond to a defeat.
But , i dont really think he gets the rivalry , if he thinks Barca v Real was a grudge match then he should re-visit the history of our derby fixtures , we hate the Rags to a man , we despise the f8ckers and we used to be in the same position as the Rags are now , it was our cup final
Things have changed the Rags are now a minor irritant and a local skirmish but every single one of us wants to smash them every time we meet , depsite our recent unprecedented success local bragging rights matter and we have to keep the Rag scum in their place and we do not want to fall eight points behind Chelski at this stage
Saturday is a must win game.

Above all , can we please have some songs from the fans that mention players that are actually still at the club. The Aguero/ Dzeko/ Zabaleta / Toure songs are great , but isn’t it time to move on ?

No, sergio needs support

Not for the first time, got the hallmarks of the third of a 3 game winning run that keeps the paperboy in a job for a further 6 months.

Can we call them cunts in this thread?

Watched it earlier! That Rojo challenge!?

and of course if VAR was about then, not a single decision would be overruled, just like now.

Varane gone off injured in their CL game tonight; him not in defence is certainly good news for us.

That's Varane and Lindelof injured. Not sure they've got enough personnel to even play 3-5-2 at this rate.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Wouldn't discount either or both being valuable just yet but if they are that's their 5 at the back plan out the window unless they throw Greggs' fan of the year there.

And Pogba on RED suspension still, right?

If you think pep doesn’t think both games are equally as important then you are mistaken.

It’s standard manager speak before a game before a big game.
