The Derby at the Swamp Pre match Discussion Thread

Whats the chances of granny shagger playing for this one then?

Is it just me who misses De Jong? - It's games like this where you could guarantee nige would absolutely crunch any player in a red shirt.. especially his fellow dutch man or granny shagger..

I think we really need another play in defensive midfield who's got some real grit and isn't afraid to knee cap a player or two.

According to Mancini the only players unavailable for Monday are Richards and Maicon, everyone else is fit. Rodwell must've recovered from his hamstring.

Has Maicon ever been fit since he joined us?

I fancy you lot to win this one if I'm honest. That being said, even though his side are 15pts clear, Fergie would love nothing more to make it 18pts and make absolute sure of the title against you.

------------ De Gea ----------
Rafael - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
------- Carrick - Cleverley -----
- Valencia - Rooney - Kagawa* -
-----------van Persie ---------

vs

------------- Aguero ------------
----- Nasri -- Tevez -- Silva -----
---------- Barry - Yaya ----------
Clichy - Lescott - Kompany - Zaba
-------------- Hart --------------

Both teams able to put out their strongest sides here. *Welbeck possibly ahead of Kagawa. I'm certain Valencia will start, especially after Nani's atrocious performance against Chelsea. As for City, I think Lescott may get the nod of Nastasic due to the way United play and how they like to get wide and cross the ball.

Could well be a draw but I'm leaning to you lot.

United 1-2 City

It WILL be a draw ......

Uniteds first draw at home this season.

Barney the purple dinosaur is making an appearance to sing live the new official Yoonitid Anthem.Co written with Fred the Red the tune will appeal to all those Yoonitid terrace chanters with their amusing childlike songs.

I'd have Milner in the middle think he would do a job on Rooney, we appeared to forget all about him in the home game and that lost us the match. Seemed as if Mancini was more worried about van Persie but he's usually crap against us. Also think Nasri has the beating of Evra as long as he's up for it. Watching United in the big games this season they look vulnerable for periods but any slight lapse in concentration and they pounce on it.

As confident as I have been since chocker Blue M6 to Wembley semi.
If City turn up we will scatter them.

We will win.

My mate has just been to swap a semi ticket for a Derby ticket with Edtheblue off here (having never met him before) and he has the seat next to me at The Swamp. 3000 tickets and he is now next to me!
