I reckon we're gonna absolutely fucking humiliate the cunts.

EB...?
As in @Eccles Blue ?

:-)

No comment. Other than to confirm that "EB" has nothing to do with the life president of the John Stones fan club.

That little shortarse defender they signed will get sent off.

Him and Haaland are going to look like the Crankies.

Too early to call this, because no one knows who returns from the Intl break fit and ready to go.

We are catching them on the up, but it feels like we have the ability to beat everyone in the world when we perform, so that’s a factor, too! Which City shows up on the day? Which United?

From this distance, pre-Intls, it feels like a 3-0/3-1, but as with all Derbies, it could be tight 0-0 or an open 4-4, or a tight 1-0 or an easy 6-1!!!

I think Ten Hag has got them sharper, and certainly snapping into tackles, so that’s an element of the game we don’t enjoy. That said, OVERcommitting against City is suicide, so…

Hate these games, because for every 6-1, I’ve lived through multiple soul-destroying losses, not the least of which were being 2-0 up at HT and winning the League at their expense and then losing 2-3, and Scholes popping up with a late header!

Don’t wet myself over them, but rarely feel like City perform like they can and raise their game for the occasion.

Clearly, over recent years, results would suggest every City fan should feel confident. However, given our upbringing and the old “Typical City,” I won’t breathe a sigh of relief, even if we are 2 goals to the good into injury time, until the final whistle!!!

let s keep quiet...til the day. i m curious how busy the international players will be beforehand for both sides..... the game should be a fresh slate....take and prepare seriously.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Obviously Ten Hag will set up Ole ball which managed to work against us. Just need to keep it tight at the back. Walker and Akanji will stop the counter attack.

 

[Withnail]

It will be full Haaland.

You never go full Haaland, unless he wants to destroy.

It will be personal and it will be beautiful.

Looking forward to seeing Haaland bullying or should I say butchering Martinez.

Couldn't this thread be strutted in a weeks time? I'm already shitting myself as usual before any derby

Hate Derby's, on paper we should win and in Erling we have player that will scare the shit out of the Rags. But still get nervous before any Derby.

Just imagine the final whistle has gone and Haaland has scored four past them with no reply. The camera pans back to a very embarrassed Roy Keane and a laughing Micah Richards in the Sky studio. That would be hilarious!
