United away - pre-match thread

[hilts]

It reminds me of Arsenal coming to play us under Hughes,we won 3-0 and 4-2, pretty football and a dogmatic philosophy has to be near perfect to win these games.

Like the 2009 Champions League final - United were all over Barcelona for 10 minutes until they conceded and then a totally different game thereafter. Very small margins will decide this and a draw is likely also.

I remember that game and fair play to the rags they came out and gave their best but they hit a brick wall, they got schooled in football, men against boys, Fergie and his players were embarrassed

This game has come a couple of months too early for us so I would take a draw, in footballing terms it's like night versus day, we have a better manager, better players but we are in transition and jose isn't daft. We could rip them a new arsehole or lose to a coach who knows how to expose our weaknesses.

He couldn't expose them last year, could he. When we were probably a weaker and less motivated side than we are now. Granted he has a different team now but we'll be Ok

I can't sleep. These feelings I've never felt before, no derby has ever made me feel as nervous as I'm feeling right now. If we win it'll probably be my most cherished win ever!

Ric turner is illegitimate, Shadys channels' less legitimate, Anderson's a wanker.

Otamendi
Fernandinho
Silva

Ota and Kolarov are our strongest headers of the ball.

2-1 city

Pep will have us playing football in a beautiful fashion, Peg will try and negate that with hoof ball, and negative fouling and Rooney continually arguing with officials. Let's hope for the sake of the beautiful game Manchester City win.

Lets have it like this

nout to do with the derby mate, apart from real people supporting non disney team

 

[Zubrman]

We should give them the benefit of the doubt.





I doubt they will benefit from this game.

 

[GSW Blue]

Can't sleep. Just got up to put my match ticket in my wallet so I don't forget it. Confident the boys will out play the rags. Worried that we might get robbed by officials.

I'm not even in bed yet, got to get up at around 4.00 AM to watch this one, before we head off to the ferry for Vancouver Island to watch the granddaughters play football in Victoria!!

Come on City.
