Pre-Match Thread | Manchester Derby

[sheblue]

Always nervous ahead of a derby. Anything can happen. We must pick the correct team first. Strongest available 11. Then be focused and professional, but I don't see a lot of goals. Just hoping we emerge with 3 points.

My favorite videos to watch recently before we play the rags:

Jones injured vs Toffs is a bit of a worry ; hopefully he'll recover for Weds. Anyone know ?

[salford city]

Hate these horrible bastards and always nervous before a derby but this should pan out like the 3nil under Pellers they are beyond shit and all the media talk is lip service to the deluded masses. If we turn up, we win it's that simple . We will be out early doors for this going to be a laugh on the tram

[blues2win]

United will surely be up for this but their confidence is low. We need a really strong hard start. If they go down I can see heads going down and fingers getting pointed. By the way Burnley will be no push over at Turf Moor. Going to the Leicester game so doubly desperate for no slip ups before May 6!

Just a message to all the armchairs that don’t live anywhere near Manchester..........
The rags are shit , the club is an absolute mess and the rag fans don’t give a fuck about Wednesday,s result.

My point is , their fuckign players will be up for this match and our lot have to be solid at the back - I saw these cunts against Barca and in the first 5 mins could and should have been 2 up.

They will come out of the blocks and we need to be ready for it.

Les not get too fuckign cocky eh !

[Hazy2]

Get a win get deloused get the fuck out of the swamp !

[iwasthere2012]

Any win will do.
They'll be wounded from the Everton backlash and could be very dangerous, particularly in front of a home crowd.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

All this ‘reaction from the players’ stuff in the media is all very well, but they seem to assume our boys will just stand by and watch. If the rags raise their performance and we raise our from Spurs when we were still recovering from the CL result, by the same amount, we will win.

Just seen a stat where we've played 16 games this season without Kev and scored 45 goals.

I am not super convinced we won't see him tomorrow. Reminded me of Palace last NYE, then 2-3 days later he was ready vs Watford.

Sure but there no reason for Pep to try and misdirect smeagol with his lineup. They don't even have a proper gameplan to start with

[Beefymcfc]

There seems to be a lot of media interest in our game, all seemingly revolving around the Rags redeeming themselves.

They’d struggle to redeem a money off coupon at the Co-op

[Beefymcfc]

Just read that its going to be RatBoy commentating on the game.

I wonder who they've got in the studio, Crerand, Schokrs and Taggart?

[branny]

I ain't got a good feeling about this one and have a strange feeling we'll lose one nil due to some dodgy decision. However I also have a feeling that the dipper will also fuck up and cancel it out. I hope the first feeling is wrong and we stuff the cunts with a brace for Foden.

They haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 11 so I don't think there's much chance of the nil part.

Yes like the reaction at Goodison after losing to Barca.
