Ferguson not sounding like he is going to attack.BillyShears said:So reading between the lines of Roberto's PC - I've a feeling Jimmy won't play and we'll see Silva/Nasri as the two attacking midfielders. The only other possible change would be Nastasic LB if GC isn't fit.

They have scored lots of goals late in the game and they do get lots of penalties,' Ferguson added. "If we got that many penalties there would be an inquiry in the House of Commons."
Daily Mail also says in the same article that City&United got the same number of pens since the start of 10/11 season. :)))
Unfuckingbelievable!

Sir Alex Ferguson says there would be a House of Commons inquiry if Manchester United got as many penalties as their "biggest threat" Manchester City.
The number of penalties City get at home has been the subject of debate for the past two years with them being awarded 21 since the start of 2010/11.
City have been awarded four in their past three games at the Etihad Stadium, two against Aston Villa and one each in the draws with Real Madrid and Everton.
And, ahead of United's trip to City on Sunday, Ferguson raised the issue as he admitted United's nearest neighbours are now their closest rivals.
"The number of penalty kicks they get - 21 in the last year or something like that," said Ferguson.
"If we got that number of penalty kicks there'd be an inquiry in the House of Commons. There'd be a protest."
"Liverpool and United games over the last 25 years have been unbelievable," said Ferguson.
"They've always been the most important games. It's shifted because at this moment Liverpool aren't challenging for the league like City are."
He added: "City are our biggest threat and we're their biggest threat, so that's changed.
"Their fortunes changed the minute Sheikh Mansour took over. We know the minute that happened it was going to be a different ball game altogether.
"But, as we have in the past, we have to accept their challenge like we did when Chelsea came along and when Arsenal overtook Liverpool in the early 90s. We have to do it again."
