Totally agree mate. Just getting in the mood.
Admonish?Solskjaer admonish Utd to attack. I see two blatant holes in their defence. Lets put Son and Kane on the counter.
Why do they all have such punchable faces?
I think we're better in every area overall (except keeper but there's not too much difference there).
Predicting 2 - 0 and a more comfortable afternoon than some might expect.
I think it's a bit naive to have watched our midfield diamond struggle so badly to retain possession against Chelsea and think that we will just walk over a fresh and hungry United team that will play 3 midfielders in the centre.
We've seen in the league games against Woolwich and Wolves, the cup game against Chelsea that tired legs are a killer for our 442 diamond, if the lads aren't full of energy then they simply can't cover the grass properly. I hope Poch comes up with a tactical reshuffle to help us in that area, with either Alli or Eriksen playing in a more compact central 3.
Just looking at that bunch, make you realise how far Utd have fallen, none of those players put the fear into me when we face up to them on Sunday.
Huge respect for United. A true English institution with their trophy count but mostly their support. Forget all the touristy types (we have them too of course) their core support is unequalled i believe. Enormous home crowds throughout the years but for me it's their away support. They realised that modern football was killing the atmosphere so they did something about it. New songs, old songs, clever songs and constantly loud throughout their games. How anyone can compare them to city is beyond me as they are miles apart. I think we have a good support but we have been left behind by United in that regard.
All clubs have morons FOK, their true core support is more than decent is all i am saying.All well and good but they regularly just pillaged the teams below them using their money to take who they want and weaken rivals. Ferdinand from Leeds, Rooney from Everton, Carrick and berbs from us, Cole from Newcastle, Tevez from West Ham the list is endless. Also for such a great side they’ve won the European cup 3 times to madrid’s 14.. I’m not saying they’re not/weren’t good just not having that they’ve done things the right way or whatever. Their fans are mostly spoilt entitled dicks who have no idea how to support a team who doesn’t win all the time.
They say things like ‘he’s such a united player’ about people like Kane and others who aren’t even theirs. They think if Fergie was still there Kane would be a united player now.. fuck them cunts.

Ha ha ha first time i have laughed today.Fair, but maybe it depends on where you live. I live in Dublin so everyone supports either United or Liverpool... and pretty much everyone’s a cunt.

Exactly Jerry, i spoke to a few of their hard bastards at Euston recently and their hatred for the <removed>s was nearly on a level with ours. They totally respected us on and off the field. I don't share the hatred but my mates in Northern Ireland are like FOK in that United fans there are mostly wankers.Yeah I’d agree with that. The club have thrown their weight around, which is natural, and they have plenty of plastic fans, but generally they’re quite a likeable club.
In my experience their supporters generally have a lot of respect for Spurs as well. Two historical clubs that usually try to play entertaining football.
Poch said we won't win the league so delete your post and don't be disappointed.Right now, if we win this game, it would put the Wolves game to bed for me emotionally speaking.
If we lose it, we are in a scrap for top four and the league cup which is terrible for our fixture pile up and the last thing we need.
And, if we draw it, well, I'll be even more disappointed because we don't do draws and it is surely a 99/1 bet by now somewhere that I am missing value on...
Nah, if we draw, no title race. No top 4 scrap. Third place, same old same old, and probably no trophy.
