United Pre-Match Thread - Friendly in Houston - Kick off now 03:05am (BST)

[eversince 76]

I've just subscribed to Rag TV.

I'd rather fart in my boss his face.

It it's even more tragic that City doesn't broadcast it on City TV, making "fans" like you acting as desperate as a Cityfan subscribing to ... wait a minute?!

Take it ,it's not on Fox, ESPN ect....?

It is mate. It's on ESPN in the shitty small country below me and it's on TLN here in the great white north.
I'm taping it.

Not a fan of Houston Mate??

I lived there for 3 years, it sucks.

And at a mile up they'll need oxygen tanks before the end of the first half

Thats the point of training right?

Really don't like this being our first game. Don't like the idea of playing league rivals in pre-season games as a whole, even less so derbys but to then make it the first game seems a bit daft on our part, could have lined up an MLS team like the rags did. First games need to be relatively gentle introductions, it's going to be hard not to go in for that 50/50 or push that bit harder when it's United and likewise for them too. They've already had one sent off this pre-season i wouldn't put it past Mourinho to instruct some of their brutes to put a few hefty challenges on to some of our players like Silva,jesus,Aguero and probably ask Lukaku to be ultra physical with Kompany to test how fit he is. As long as we get through it with everyone unscathed i couldn't give a shit.

Not really league rivals are they? They finished 6th, they've lost Rooney and Zlatan and got Lukaku, a downgrade and reduced squad depth in my opinion. Signed a centre back too, they're still shit :)

And the Derby is in Houston? Has anyone been to Houston? Houston sucks, one of the worst cities in the U.S. dirty, smoggy, hot, humid, and endless urban sprawl. At least have the derby in Denver where we have clean mtn air, excellent place for players to train, and a million times better city than Houston.

It's actually Shangri-La here but we're happy if that's the impression that mountain staters and others have if it keeps just a few of them from emigrating here and overcrowding our roads, restaurants, schools, and excellent places of employment.

Aww, shucks. Simon "Beaky" Stone was saving that line for his post match report, and you've gone and nicked it ;-)
