Anybody watch SSN? It's been very quiet on there during the week due to the CL/Europa games but yesterday they came out all guns blazing and I'm getting this strange feeling that they want the Rags to win.

Yesterday, reporting from our ground, they said that Pussy and Shrek are the current best strike partnership in the league. Is this right as I'm sure Arsenals strikers have scored 6 goals?

I can honestly say yesterday was the first time I have ever seen ssn shit stir with the rags.

"Rooney's future - Moyes says there is no talks about extending Rooney's contract, but insists he wants more from the player".

That spin would never have been allowed under baconface.

Don't get me wrong, they're still strongly pushing the propaganda machine with plenty of images of baconface and trophies being held aloft before the current manager arrived. Basically, how well they have done before he joined them... And of course how fantastic the manager has done against city before he joined the rags. They finish up saying pelle said this is a must win game. Something he never said.

Anyway, my point is that it's still pretty clear that they favour the rags over us in a head to head... but they are beginning to hedge their bets on the bigger picture, just in case moyes doesn't work out.

It's kind of cute. Yet familiarly pathetic.

I know what you mean mate, they're now actually reporting the news rather than reporting the Taggart spin. They'll always be the Rag apologists though, they walk hand-in-hand. In the last hour I must've seen Shrek and his Pussy at least 50 times. They even got them in on a betting piece when showing us to be 11/10 favourites (Rags 12/5). This was a live interview so we can see that even those things are scripted. Funny though, even though we could see the odds the bloke being interviewed (probably from Sky Bet) think) sounded as if the Rags couldn't lose.

Get your bets on.

I have 2 worries going into the game. Valencia v kolarov as he has been shocking and is a red card waiting to happen. Also Rooney v fernandinho, Rooney will drop deep and play in the hole behind van pussy. Fernandinho is often out of position and I can see shrek exploiting that. Apart from that I am pretty confident.

You don't think it matters who starts up front as long as the boss tells Aguero how important the game is. . . . surely you think it matters that Aguero starts so that he uses that knowledge eh?

I was thinking Dzeko or Negredo , it's 99% Aguero will start when fit like Yaya ,but we did not score until he pass the ball against Pilzen.I just say he could be a lot better for team if he do that more often.After that pass to Dzeko there was at list 2 more times he could pass for goal .One time to Dzeko and one to Negredo . He really does a lot but problem is he waste a lot also.If Nasri could play again like that and our defense need to do better .We need this win.

If we play Milner on the left with him, I will feel a lot happier. If Rooney drops deeps it takes him away from goal and as long as the others are marked up, that won't bother me as much.
In fact, one of the midfield two should give him a bit of rough tackle to wind the bald bastard up. I can see him getting sent off, especially after the comments he made about us not being the rags main rivals.

Works for me mate. Basically saying that CGs lost a bit of pace due to his age and his reading of the game isn't as good has it used to be.

I mentioned this last season and wanted to see Sergio get into him. Those 2 early goals, and the loss, made us look worse than we were but for the majority Sergio ran him ragged and helped us get back in the game. I'd like to see the same again from him and Silva, neither of their back 2 are the fastest and I think they'll have to give them a screen, hopefully giving us the chance to forward more.

Going back to last season, 3 fucking shots on goal and they scored 3 goals. Bastards!

An interesting article on last season's derby. Although it feels slightly pro-rag, it isn't utter drivel:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1781009-how-manchester-united-can-learn-and-grow-from-3-2-derby-victory-of-2012

I still think that starting Balotelli was a big mistake. It wasn't a coincidence that they were battered after Tevez came on.

sounds like its highly unlikely he will feature. Silva, on the other hand, looks set to play..or so Pellegrini has made it sound.

I know that it is short notice but I now cannot go to the match tomorrow.

I have 2 season tickets next to each other and would be happy for them to be used - do not want money - just would rather they were not wasted.

Problem is I live in Wokingham - Berkshire so it needs to be someone from down here

If anyone interested - call me

Good effort mate but I'd save your number for PM. It's not only Blues who read this.

Do you know, I see lots of Shreks Pussy and the like, the shinner etc, but I don't see too much of the most recent famous game ever. Anybody seen anything of the Sick Swan?
Nobody seen anything of the 6-1 then, Aguero's goal consigned to history?

Why do we always see the shinner but occassionally see the opposite. Raggers?

That was their game plan last season and we struggled as we were outnumbered in midfield. He also arrived in the box later and caused us problems.

Hopefully Pellegrini has seen the problem and does something about it.
