Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

[GX Blue]

I've never seen us get a late winner against united, would be nice to see as they used to do that all the time to us

Great point! When did we last get a winner in the last 5 min against them?
Didn't The Goat at OT have 1 disallowed which would have put us 1-2 up late on once?

Not buying into the hysteria of it depends on the ref etc, etc.

We've got a better team and a better manager. We've played some superb stuff and have dealt with better sides already.

We should be winning this game, we should be eleven clear after Sunday.

I was too young to remember mate, I have the faintest recollections as a kid seeing the goat mug off Gary Neville which I think is the first Derby I can remember

They will
Try and get one of us sent off
feign inj
dive for pens and free kicks
ref the game
lump it high and the same with corners
get as many free kicks as it takes to get goals
Have i missed out anything?

Correct, he had equalised in the last 10 minutes too with his first touch. To be fair, the disallowed one was the correct decision, blatant handball by Anelka.

We have had a couple of relatively late equalisers at OT, the aforementioned Goater header and a Sir Joseph of Barton deflection a few years later, but not a late winner against them for ages.

When does the ref get announced?

I reckon Altrincham Taylor or the bottler but would rather have Atkinson.

Usually announced on the Monday before the game isn't it? So anytime today.

Be very surprised if it's anyone other than the Alty fan
