Man Utd. (a) build up

[SB]

No - proper footballing weekend - we are not playing as Sunderland are in the FA. Cup

Cheers bud.

Im fairly confident about next week's game. Players like Suarez,Gerrard,Sturridge,Sterling and Sakho along with others just won't bottle it like past players. It's not in their make up IMO. My only nagging fear is that we will be undone,and seriously I'd put money on it,by some ****ing outrageous refereeing.

[Molby]

Has the referee been assigned yet?

Monday before the game they get announced usually.

Think I might put a tenner on the them getting a peno and a sending off against us. Guaranteed.

[spanky]

Win in old toilet likely means no CL next season for the mancs and very possibly no european football at all. That would put serious pressure on them financially and screw any chance they have of signing "top" players. That is more then enough incentive to beat them alone.
We could effectively fast track their slide into mediocrity with a win.

[Camble]

I think Moyes will setup similar to the Chelsea game at the start of the season, essentially holding out for a draw because a loss will be a disaster.

He'll make excellent use of the strike force by lofting high balls and crosses into the box all game.


I'm worried about this one, but I'm praying we can beat them. Obviously I'd love a good going over and destroying them, but I'd take a deflected 1-0 win all day long.

[Fosterbloke]

I pray we don't give away any freekicks around our area as they're very dangerous from those.

[Exiled_red]

I think it's going to be a lot closer than people are suggesting, sure I would love to put 5 or 6 past them but that's not going to happen, they will desperately want to beat us, not just for the sake of their own season, but to put us out of the title race. I can see it being a draw or won by one goal either way.

As City won the League cup there are two Europa places for the league, they'll still be in the race for 6th

Much more likely than the speculated riot. We just have to keep possession, frustrate the crowd, and go for the kill when the opportunity arises.

I want us to go to Old Trafford showing no mercy. Put Moyes and his boys to the sword.

[john316]

How can people NOT be looking forward to this game. Its my favourite fixture of the year as I always enjoy the Old Trafford visit more than the reverse game. That 'us vs them' mentality is exaggerated ten fold in this game at such a huge ground. The losses hurt like hell but the wins at Old Trafford are just incredible!!

[TheElephantMan]

It's just an incredibly nervy game. The joy of a win is incredible, but the fear of losing is immense. If we're 3-0 up then I'll start to enjoy it.

[sambirken]

I don't think we have a chance now they are the best team in England again after beating West Brom like that.
