3-1 United. Hope and pray I'm wrong.

Hope and Pray? You got sniffed out well before you got to the confession box.

Er David White upended by Bruce April 92?



Ten years over 14 years ago to be precise!!

Don't think I could live with the idea of Kolarov at centre half in such a big game. Christ.

What more can the lad do? Been superb this season

My only concern is their height. Need to make sure we avoid giving away needless free kicks and corners. Also have to be ruthless in front of goal.

It just got a little bit harder Cheatenburg is the ref. The odds on a rag penalty and a City red card must have plummeted like a lead falcon.

Anyone suggesting the rags are deluded thinking they should win I would point out that the bookies have them favourites. generally 5/4 whereas we are 9/4.
We remain favourites for the title however.

gundogan I think was always going to be pencilled in for this one? seems to have been training solid now for 3 weeks and also had a gentle 2 weeks previous? sagna I also think will be fit to start as I reckon pep held him back for the derby as well. company at least will be in the matchday squad imo but a lot will depend on who comes back fit. hes done well but really don't fancy kolarov at CB for this one at all!! my team:

bravo
sagna
otamendi
stones
kolarov
dinho
gundogan
silva
de bruyne
sterling
nolito

Im suggesting some ofthe things they post on sad cafe are deluded re silva etc

We've not won in the last three encounters, so I don't see where some of the more bolder statements of victory are coming from?

They've improved, we've improved. First goal is always seemingly crucial in the big games.

Still think they have more at stake and a draw should not be seen as a bad result at this time.

I would take a draw............

Just hope the ref is not Twattenburg - as that will be their best chance.

I am sure I saw a post saying that unfortunately it was and that there was a thread - must have been a Stella induced dream as I cannot find one

I dreamt that Kelechi got through one-on-one and dinked it over De Gea for a late winner.

Celebration exactly the same as his first ever goal vs Palace.

City win. Come on!!
