United (a) pre-match thread

[backforCity]

And the players all hug each other whilst we the fans feel like sh—- And the great away fans suffer. Derby day not like it used to be

Bump feel very strongly about this, nobody agree/disagree?
Back to fighting for bragging rights against the scum? Or are we all preoccupied with scousers and EU competition? Have a great day you guys attending I will be listening out for your brilliant support and joining you in my front room.

Despite spending £600m on their squad , all they are hoping for is to prevent another humiliation at the Swamp on Sunday , the ex-Cardiff City manager will simply instruct his players to pack the defence and midfield and hope for a breakaway goal , the Rags have done this for the last few years. If any Rag manager did grow a pair and actually attacked us it would be suicidal , they have spent a huge amount on their squad , but not one of them would make our bench , Woody has done a fine job an the recruitment side long may it continue.

Rest KDB for Arsenal and Real. If we struggle to win he could get a cameo

Sod that, he's my fantasy football captain and I need the points!

Id play foden on right instead of mahrez and play david silva to control the tempo

Interesting set of results today. If we beat these, even draw, could find themselves adrift again or even bottom half, with a resurgent Everton.

C'mon city, make it happen!

The Cowardly Cockney teams are folding like a cheap suit.. let's not give the twats a leg up please Pep.

David Silva sadly controls little nowadays -he'd be invisible again.

Pep Guardiola: "When it comes to expensive players, we are ranking 23 and 24, but the club has a bad reputation on that. They say, ‘That’s just Man City spending money’ but, of course it is not true. You just have to see the numbersp


“The important thing is to buy good players who fit in to the way you want to play. The important thing is to take all the information about the player to reduce the uncertainty of a player being at a new club.

“Manchester City didn’t spend that kind of money [£80-100 million on one player] so far, but maybe in the future it will do it, so right now I don’t know


"I didn’t expect when I landed here to have this gap right now with United, even in the past but what United expects is getting closer to the people they are above but in the same time they are working to improve.

Manchester City wants to improve too so at the end of the season the distance is what it is and this don’t deny the quality so you have 22 points behind Liverpool, it is because they were much better than us

We need legs because we sure as hell are gonna get hit on the counter by United. A midfield of Foden, Rodri and Bernardo provides energy and have quality enough to dictate tempo

If it all goes to shit we have a certain KDB who's ready to come on as long as you don't poke his shoulder
