A win would be nice, but looking at both team's form I have trouble seeing us get more than a draw. Would like Cheech to start.
Forget the form both teams are in...they gotta get the full 3 from City at home...no better way to basically wrap up the title than that
If we could mathematically wrap the title up with this match, then I hope we go get it. However, our team has just been going through the motions the last few. Because our season is essentially over. There will be the passion of a derby, but it feels off.
i definately want the trident again. Rooney___chich_____RVP Clevs_____Carrick____?(Jones or anderson)
I understand that this board sometimes is rah rah United. But I can't lie, I don't give a shit about the rest of this year. If we blow the title somehow, then that would suck, sure. But I don't give a damn about this game, or the rest of the season. After blowing the CL and FA Cup, it's nothing anymore. I just want Cheech to start because RvP does not deserve a starting berth for a month now and Cheech usually delivers. Give the boy a chance. Yup, you are all better fans than me.
I want Welbeck as a 9, stop wasting a position by playing Hernandez as a 9 in a game we wont dominate, he would just keep running here and there without ever seeing the ball or without the ball sticking to him.
Not scoring doesn't mean you aren't playing well. He was our best attacker against Madrid. Just a clarification. I'd rest RvP for a match or two, but he's had plenty of time to recover. I called this earlier in the season though. I had wanted us to rest him when games were coming thick and fast. We paid the price. He's a bit burnt out. I'd almost say shut him down for the season, but maybe there is value in him breaking out of this scoring slump. This is one area in which I will back Ferguson's decisions.
So much positivity and belief again. Cheer the ******** up, we're going to stuff these motherfcukers!!! Think Rooney's going to start this one. Hopefully he'll be up for it. Also hoping for Giggs to have an impact, be that from the get-go or coming on from the bench.

---------Rooney---------RVP ----------------Kagawa --------Clevs---Carrick--Jones Evra--------------------------------Rafael ----------Evans------Ferdinand ----------------De Gea ******** our flanks.
It's Citeh at Old Trafford, they won the Prem last year and I'm sure it would be the icing on the cake for the season if we can beat them tomorrow. So of course it's a big game.
Will be on a travel so won't be able to watch this...I hope you guys keep updating this thread so that I could read up on whats going on when I am on the go....
I'm surprised the thread is this quiet seeing as it's City at OT. I get that the league is all but over, however I hope SAF has the boys raring to go and has reminded them of the 6-1 embarrassment of last year. Lets do this shit!
I'm finding it difficult to get excited about the game. If we hadn't gone out so poorly against Real and Chelsea in the cups, I'd probably be more into it. As things stand, the seasons gone a little flat, and the poor performances of late aren't helping. Maybe I'll be more riled up when the game actually starts.
United Confirmed Starting 11: DDG, Rafael, Rio, Jones, Evra, Giggs, Carrick, Young, Welbeck, Rooney, RVP Giggs at CM? Jones at CB? WTF?
Man Utd XI v Man City: De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Smalling, Evra, Welbeck, Carrick, Jones, Giggs, Rooney, Van Persie.
