***Manchester City v Manchester United PREVIEW***

[bobby brows]

Brilliant stuff as usual.

The work and effort you put into these previews is really appreciated mate.

Agreed Lee, bobby's previews are fantastic although I shudder to think how long they take to compose. I particularly liked this bit, which rings so true for me:

It always seems that there are two kinds of football supporter:

The Football Supporter: People who like to have a chat about football in general games/grounds they’ve been to; awful footballers, football manager taking over their life; who/where are they watching at the weekend. Supporters who different teams can have a conversation about any team without it descending into

The United Fan: People who come up to you when your team has dropped points and give you grief for it but have never contributed anything positive to the game themselves. They also use the term ‘Footy’. They call it banter, get up set when they get as good as they receive and read Nuts magazine.

whoops that should read slagging each other off. Fixed. Thanks

I've awoken to a Facebook full of nursery rhymes and regrettably just clicked onto the Guardian's football page entitled the fab four:

I hope our backline kicks them so hard today they all retire tomorrow

The next day Dortmund resting 3 players became Dortmund reserves in the papers as they lauded up our new status of worst performance in a group stage by an English team.

Not to get too far off topic, they rested 6.


I am nervous about this game.

In the nicest possible way thanks for the correction!

It was a shame to be right about blocking crosses

just didn't want to diminish what Dortmund did...and have it viewed as a one-off or something like that.
despite their league form, they're playing very very well.
maybe I'm biased.
