Manchester Utd (A) Pre Match Thread

[Blue Hefner]

There's much more pressure on them than us. Even if we lose we'd still have a five point lead, whereas if they lose there will be an almost unassailable 11 point gap. Even a draw may not be enough for them. Hopefully it will encourage an open game.

I doubt it. A draw suits both, i’m going for 0-0

No john is a worry,they will score,we will just have to score more,uphill struggle with the bottler homey as the ref

I'm not normally given to cautious notions, but I'd definitely take a draw right now.

Just done my combined team on the BBC website.

Excellent!

That’s the spirit come on blueboys

The rags have been made out to be something special, but they aren't.
They are underdogs in this one.

I’d take a draw now. They will have the momentum if they manage to be first team to beat us this season.

Especially given we’ve not been at our best the last four games. If we’d been playing them in our pomp, I’d say bring it on.

A draw wouldn't be the end of the world I agree. For what it's worth I suspect a defeat may be on the cards. I doubt they will sit back especially the first 15 mins. Hate the twats with a passion but no doubt they are hard to beat. Factor in it's at the cesspit, the ref, and a sprinkle of the luck the arseholes always seem to get and a win would be a huge result.

We will play to win so will they,this could be the best derby for a while,i'm not nervous surprisingly

They will play not to lose. They can't afford to go 11 behind and they will be happy with 1% possession and a 0-0 draw. Now way will they come out and play for a win unless of course lumping balls 60 yards over the top in the hope they win a corner or free kick is playing to win.
