Apologies for spamming the board with, "Ta's".

Thanks for that

I suspect it may be to accommodate broadcasters around the world as not all countries have put the clocks back like in the UK. Here in the States, we don’t put our clocks back until November 5th so by making it 3:30pm instead of 4:30pm it keeps our viewing time the same. Come on you Blues!!!

It's at the request of the police to apparently stop trouble outside the ground and in the city centre. As if moving it forward an hour is going to help

 

[Barcon]

Thanks for that

As a newly crowned Canadian, all I can say is, "Sorry".

Looks like Casemiro is out. Not sure if that's necessarily a good thing though, as he's on the decline.

Hmm, he seems to have the knack of scoring the odd important goal for them, so I’ll take that news as a positive I think.

3 things I fear today

1. the ref
2. var
3. the long ball

Dave Bassett from Wimbledon approves this post.

Didn’t know where to post this..

Obviously wrong. We know at least 15 players want to leave our dismally unsuccessful club.

It's a good thing. He's good on set pieces and does a decent job. Also Tierney would allow him to kick fuck out of our players like he did in the cup final. Don't breath too easily they have the thug McTominay to do the kicking.

The article previously posted states “The decision was made after discussions between the two clubs, local authorities and broadcasters Sky Sports.”

You may not be aware but Sky is owned by Comcast NBC Universal and NBC has the broadcast rights in the USA, meaning that they have a big say in proceedings.

The police have the final say in kick off games in England not the broadcasters

I always hate the build-up to a derby, especially at Old Trafford. Would rather it be played at 12.30 just to get it out of the way.

Amen to that.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Early kick off is because those angelic united fans are having to play those Mancunian ruffians

I don’t disagree with that, just saying that the Broadcasters have input as the article states. Plus, I agree that an hour makes no difference regards drinking time or potential trouble.

 

[BlueInsomniac]

COME ON CITY !!

He's good at getting on to the end of chances on the box.

Is this the day we get revenge for the 3-2 when 2 up through big Niall Quinn only for Keane to score late on to snatch it,decisions,decisions decisions should I stick a few quid on at 20/1 ..

 

[citymad]

COME ON CITY !!

Deserves a love that. Come on you blue boys!!!

 

[NatalieM008]

predictions quiz for today:

1 - when will United get their dodgy penalty
2 - when will United get their dodgy VAR decision
3 - after how many fouls will Mctininiwotsit get a yellow card
4 - after how many fouls will Rodri get a yellow card

I'm going with:

1 - 46th minute
2 - As soon as we score
3 - 7, but the yellow card will be for protesting
4 - 0, they will manage to do it, believe me

Early kick off because rags just want this miserable day to be over as soon as possible.

I forget the trains back to London and fights to Dublin factor.
