The Manc derby and today's other football

[Red Banjo]

City have drawn 0-0 away at Spurs and Arsenal and have already had a 0-0 borefest against the devil worshippers. Guaranteed to be a cracker this one.

 

In more important news - you can only beat what's in front of you, and what's in front of us is Spurs, who today go to Sunderland without Bale, Van der Vaart and Modric. Think Sunderland might do us a favour today

[Guest San Don]

Dont give a fuck about the manc derby. Im just concentrating on Wigan. 3 points please.

 

Long live the King!

[JagSquared]

Hope so, but doubt it. I would love spurs to drop points and Chelsea to do the same on Monday. If that happens and we win against Wigan I would put some money on us getting 4th.

 

Guaranteed sending off in the Manc derby though.

Have a feeling there will be a rather contentious refereeing decision in the game, obviously not in City's favour.

God forbid the scum lose again.

After that match where Owen got the winner in Fergie time I've never really thought of footie in the same way. (and even less so after our match and the Berbatwat pen/Stevie sending off.) I still think that match was seriously rigged. Will watch this anyway, because when it comes down to it if City play as well as they can and get a two goal cushion it's always possible. They can only rig so much, and have a lot less chance with more than a 1 goal difference.

 

Think this game might be set up for Dzeko to make his name anyway. Notice I said might be, am not jinxing it.

[cartman]

Fucking Carlito Tevez gonna smash up Smalling's,Rafael's and Fabio's , go eeeed today City.

[JaminKibbler]

I hope both Sunderland and City win today, could do us a few favours.

[ROADENDSMIG]

Honestly could not give a shit whats happens betwean the mancs.

I think we will very well and thats what makes me smile lots.

 

I do hope though my little double of Sunderland & Villa goes in.

[Anubis]

People, let's get realistic here. It's City. They could field the greatest 11 players of all time and still find a way to fuck up.

I said the same thing on a thread on here when everyone was having a shit fit when they got bought.

 

I dont even worry about City, its City for fucks sake, they cock it up time and time again cos as you say they're City

 

I had to laugh at Mancini today saying being the most hated team doesnt bother him! I dont even think about them!

 

3 points for us today and a Sunderland win would be nice but i'll just take our 3 points.

[RobbieOR]

Lets just batter Wigan and see where that takes us.

Mate, I've already jinxed it, got a quid on him as first scorer.

Interesting team for Man Utd:

 

01 Van der Sar

03 Evra

12 Smalling

15 Vidic

22 O'Shea

08 Anderson

11 Giggs

17 Nani

18 Scholes

24 Fletcher

10 Rooney

 

No Berbatov, Ferdinand or Evans. Smalling at cb with Vidic.

 

I think City have a real chance if they go for it today.

[RobbieOR]

Did anybody see Merson complaining about City being defensive there? Ironic considering he played under George Graham at Arsenal.

[loadsoftrophies]

Mancini is a big bag of shit, no way will City attack today.

[Pidge]

This is Toure, Zabaleta and Barry vs Scholes, Anderson and Fletcher. Going to be an awful game.

[Il Fenomeno]

This is Toure, Zabaleta and Barry vs Scholes, Anderson and Fletcher. Going to be an awful game.

 

Zabaleta is playing left back and Kolarov is on the wing, I think. Then Silva is in behind Tevez.

[Adebisi]

Fuck sake, they're playing Smalling! Why not go two up-front ya daft crank?

 

Bor-ing.

[ODZ]

This is going to be a shit game.

[Red Banjo]

City should piss this. Man for man, almost every player is superior.

 

Guaranteed 2-0 Scum victory then. I've gone 1-0 city on the prediction league tho

[TheDrowningMan]

Both teams undoubtedly playing for a draw.

[Phoenix]

Just want three points for us but unsure.

[Pidge]

Zabaleta is playing left back and Kolarov is on the wing, I think. Then Silva is in behind Tevez.

 

Intriguing. But is it an attacking move or just doubling up on Nani?

[18-5]

Smalling and O'Shea in defence and City name one striker?

 

Shit tactics by Mancini. 5 midfielders used by Slur; playing for the draw I guess.
