It's going to be tight.

Fucking bricking it. COME ON CITY!

Nerves only starting now...

Let's go at them from the start.

Have kept busy all day to try stay calm but now am home and the nervs have kicked in!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a horrid feeling which doesn't help as last few derbies I've been confident!!!!

Want Zabs to get a hat-trick, first in the first minute so they have to listen to 90 minutes of his song. It'd be like water boarding, which, frankly, is too good for them.

I think we are going 4-4-2 or if one up top, that's Dzeko ... Sky just interviewed him straight off the bus and he had a big smile on his face and was quite chirpy ... we all know if he was starting on the bench how his whole body language is but this bit he did with Sky tells me he's starting tonight ...

4-4-2 with one up top? How does that work then?

He probably will start.

Min 1. Rooney scores, the stadium goes wild. He dedicates it to Fergie. Tyler is having a wankfest.

Min 10. Yaya scores from the middle.

Min 20. Yaya scores from our own goal.

Min 30. Yaya scores with a bycicle kick.

Min 35. Yaya scores with a superb overhead kick.

Min 38. Yaya scores from the spot. Jones is sent of for being so ugly.

Min 40. Yaya scores from a free kick.

Min 44. Yaya hits the post, but Demichelis is there and scores.

Min 45. Fergie dies in the stand. Moyes is sacked. Camel is tweeting something. Rooney signs with Chelsea.

Half time.


That will do, mate?

Really? What a pile of shite!

Let the battle of midfield commence.

Moyes has bottled it with not starting an out and out winger. He's packed the middle to try and frustrate us.

Our quality will prevail.

Camel gob it is then. They obviously figure Dzeko has no pace either. This game would have been made for Sergio. Oh well we've still got enough to stuff them.

So, looks like defensive CM 3 (Fellaini/Carrick/Cleverley) to try and contain City's 2 (Yaya/Fernandinho). Others have tried it with mixed results.

They seem to have 3 in the middle against our 2.

Not sure about playing both dzeko and negredo, but then again, negredo on his own isn't cutting the mustard. At least this way he can do the donkey work and let dzeko concentrate on being in the right position.

Always navas to come on too.

I'm going to make a prediction - Cleverley will go missing.
