You can almost smell the fear emanating from the Swamp,we have every reason to be confident playing our style of football we could well annihilate them again.
 
My word Mourinho looks like he’s been sleeping rough looking at that conference today. What an odious twat.
 
I will be gutted if this game gets cancelled. If this weather report is correct then no way it goes ahead. The ice and roads away from the ground after 4 will be too dangerous on top of general city centre and Trafford centre xmas traffic. Let’s hope the weather reports are as wrong as usual

They know this weather is on the way, gritters, snow ploughs, undersoil heating. It's getting shown around the world, it will be embarrassing for United if this is called off
 
I think Jose could be in trouble with the FA here. I'm sure he's on probation for putting a ref under pressure before a game. That comment was aimed at the ref.
On that photo of Pep's Yellow ribbon, I see they haven't highlighted the Poppy he's also sporting.

The FA should throw the book at this whingeing idiot.
Oliver rarely gives us a penalty but Mou is terrified that may change as Oliver has a tendency to award penalties against the rags.

It's been laughable this week , they're like a kid who's telling everybody that they're not scared , I'm not scared, I'm not scared honest ......when their face says different.
Just waiting for the legend that is Ralph Milne to tell us all how Utd will win.

Cant see why theyre scared
Were only ickle shitty
Theyve been telling us for years how their biggest 'derby' is v Loserpool
 
Top draw shithousery from Mourinho that, bless him. It’s funny reading Red Cafe too, and how desperate some of their fans are for the game to be postponed because they’d have Pogba back (ignoring the fact we’d have our first choice centre half available too). Almost like they’re running scared a bit.

Those back pages tell us all we need to know about the translators tactics for Sunday. We are getting kicked off the park and he's setting the ref up to give us no protection.

Yup, clear tactic to put pressure on the ref. Just have to hope that Michael Oliver isn't that daft and sees right through it and hopefully the PGMOL has been briefed accordingly. If anything, we've received less penalties than we should have had this season, when you're 70-80% of the time, you're much more likely to get fouled.

Given Pogba's comments, my concern would be if they've been told to leave one on our key players, particularly in the first 10minutes when it usually goes unpunished, in the hope of taking them out of the game/next few games.

Surely Jemba Jemba is a greater leg end.

I think in the last 24 hours we've seen a truer reflection of how they're feeling about this game. Comments about them playing players who are injured and accusations of diving, almost owning up to get not being good enough to take us on.

It's being billed as a big derby but the reality is, I can't recall the last time I was so relaxed about the 1st derby of the season. If someone had said at the start of the season we'd be 5 points clear after this game I'd have bitten their hand off. If someone had said we could be 11 points clear after this game i'd have called them a f*cking liar.

So if anything I'm just excited at the prospect of being 11 points clear.

They've got much more riding on this game which should play into our hands. So with that said, I hope we smash them.
 
Think this is my favourite bit from Mourinho’s press conference:

“I live a little bit isolated from society, I don’t feel it so much, for me it’s about training ground, hotel, my day off after the CSKA game I went home, so I really don’t have that communication.”
