I really, really want to kick the shit out of them.
I think the whole country will! Let’s go there with some arrogance and be physical , packet and clinical. Basically we want a performance that combines 2nd half v soton, 1st half b toon and 2nd half b chelski. Let’s not sit back and be timid as that risks any cross / shot leading to a pen either through handball or a clumsy challenge. We have always been better on the front foot rather than sitting back inviting pressure.
I don't see that as even a far flung possibility.
Looks good tho, init?
Who is the ref for this and who is on VAR?
Gosh, it’s quite difficult to listen to Ole. He’s so boring after the first few press conferences. I feel like he says the same things over and over.
I definitely notice a bit more uncertainty in his responses recently. Hope that uncertainty and lack of energy influences his players.
Would invite trouble.
Dunno, I might prefer a smash-and-grab 2-1 heartbreak
All the better to leave their mass delusion about Ole undisturbed.
And Roy Keane on VAR.MICHAEL FUCKING OLIVER!
Remember the mid-90's?
It seemed as though every time the away team took the lead at Old Trafford, one of the following would happen:
- it would be disallowed
- United would be given a penalty a few minutes later
- the officials would allow the game to continue until United equalised
Liverpool seems to be the club now that can rely on the officials for help but United in the mid-90's was on another level altogether.
They were the best team, undoubtedly but the decisions that went for them always pissed me off.
Basically the most important factor in this game. We will get fucked somehow, I bet they just havent worked out how they are going to do it yet.
Can't say about that time, but it seems almost the same now. Everygame they get a soft pen to save them, almost the same with Liverpool. Also Chelsea had a lot of decision in their favour since a long time. I remeber we got screwed by the ref agains them and lost UCL in one season.
Just remember if we get a result, when the final whistle goes fuck off straight back on the coach. No showers, no getting changed, no interviews.
If you don't you will have to go back out there to watch a penalty.

A prime example of the bias in United's favour was 1994/95.
Their main title rivals were Blackburn, so their two league games played a major part in the title race.
In the game at Ewood Park, Blackburn were leading 1-0 and were comfortable.
Then United get given a ridiculous penalty (just on half-time to change the whole complexion of things), PLUS Blackburn's keeper is sent off.
Suddenly, it's 1-1 and United are a man up. The game has been completely turned on its head.
United win 4-2.
Then there's the game at Old Trafford.
United take the lead with 10 minutes to go.
BUT....
Blackburn equalise in the last minute!!!
Question of Sport moment... What happened next?
Yeah, you guessed it...
It's disallowed... and wrongly as well.
Of course, it fucking is!!
Overall outcome: The title race swings nine points towards United on the basis of those two incorrect decisions.
Blackburn deserved huge credit for still managing to win the title under those circumstances.

Just let Hojbjerg at them, he'll ruffle a few feathers and slabhead won't know what's hit him. Feeling a lot more confident about this one than normally. I'd be disappointed with a draw to be honest, I reckon we can take them.
I agree it still happens.
But with United back then, it was something else altogether - particularly at Old Trafford where the officials allowed themselves to be intimidated by the fans and by Ferguson.
