Re: Yaya on 9 yellows.

Not according to FA website. It has a list of players who are one booking away from a suspension. Yaya isn't on it but David Luiz is. Bookings are cleared after 2nd Sunday in April.

Questions for United fans, why are you so obsessed with City? why do you not support your local team? is it a muffin or a barm? what would Van Rapist do if he couldn't get rhyphnol?

 

[JULES]

Watched them against Chelsea before and I am baffled how an ordinary team with ordinary players are 15 effing points clear. It really is astonishing.

Nothing whatsoever to fear.

1 -4 City

I have been thinking something similar all season, they are not that good, just cant work it out, and, is it me or have they had fewer helping hands from the refs this seaon compared to last season ???

Did anyone hear them singing "were having a party on Derby Day" at Chelsea,was hard to hear I know but would be good to sing that back to them if we have another Oct 23rd moment.

But they have already played Liverpool twice this season.

 

[bluemanc1994]

Going to be a tough one when it comes to the team. IMO, it has to be the strongest 11 in order to stuff them again and spoil their 'derby day party'. The Chelsea game is far more important but its the derby! You can't play a weaker team against them even if the semi-final is 6 days later.

My only worry is that we play how we did against Liverpool 2 years ago, when the player's minds were clearly on the semi-final. If we turn up, bearing in mind the players are playing for their own Wembley place, we need to go out their with no pressure and enjoy it. Time for another thumping, its been needed for a while so hopefully, its against them and we shut them up!

If Mancini decides to go full strength for it then i'd like to see:

Hart

Zabaleta
Kompany
Nastasic
Clichy

Milner
Yaya
Barry
Silva

Tevez
Aguero

(Only 3 changes from the 1-6)

If he decides to rotate/rest or whatever for the cup or any other reason then:

Hart

Zabaleta
Kolo
Nastasic
Clichy

Milner
Garcia
Yaya
Nasri

Tevez
Dzeko

Although I see no reason to rest or rotate any more for the remainder of the season so it's the first team I named for me. One things for certain though, if Barry and Garcia are in the same midfield then I can't see anything other than a defeat.

 

[Nevizade]

Mike Dean is the ref. Could be worse.

 

[LoveCity]

Mike Dean is the ref. Could be worse.

We've won our last two derbies under him! 1-0 in the FA Cup semi (2011), 2-1 in League Cup semi first leg. According to this list I'm reading he's never reffed a derby in the league.

Rohypnol.

When trying to be clever at least get the basics right.

think you got everything spot on mate

 

[mat]

Best news so far is Mike Dean Reffing.

Maybe even the premiere league want a fair match for a change.

Maybe its just my google chrome knowing what i do and don't like, but it wont let me access the redcafe website to see what they are saying about us before the derby... maybe at last someone has taken that shite off the internet<br /><br />-- Tue Apr 02, 2013 3:30 pm --<br /><br />where's everyone drinking before the game then?

 

[TBooksbluearmy]

I suppose that the ref could have been worse, after all it could have been Mike Clattenberg. We need to play our strongest team for this derby. If we can win at the swamp then maybe they may start to havedoubts about winning the title

Wouldn't risk Micah next Monday maybe on the bench as a sub, but that is probably the best that we could hope for. Micah will need to get fit to play in the cut and thrust of a derby. Maybe give hima 30min spell inthe home game against Wigan.

How does it feel to have not won the league for 40 years. After all, United lost the league last year, you did not win it.

1. Who will you be voting for in the next Stockport Council elections?

2. Were you one of the 250,000 fans that went to Blackburn?

3. Why didn't City sign Geoff Thomas. Was it personal terms you couldn't agree on?

Stockport is closer to manchester than Switzerland ;)

 

[Churchill123]

Ahhh the good old "United lost it" - I had an argument with one of the waiters in an Indian a few nights ago as he came out with the you didn't win it united lost it shite... The fucking prick didn't know his arse from his elbow so for him to try and hold a conversation with me about such a matter was hilarious.. Apparently he was a massive west ham fan, yet when i asked him when he last went he told me he's never been, it also became apparent he didn't even know who managed west ham - Fucking prick, and the curry was shit too!

 

[Q-Blue]

Mathematically, we can still win the double. They can't. Alright, it might be a long shot for us, but it's an impossibilty for them.

Have SKY or Talkshite mentioned this yet?

If we are winning at OT, maybe we should play on this as if it's not over and we are still fighting.

Clattenburg sent off Evans in last years derby, i'd take him to do it again!
