If it weren't for the amazing winning run we're in at OT I'd be happy with a draw also, as we're on this run at home though it'll be a shame to see it end especially to City

In League terms this game sees us having played

Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
City
Liverpool

Thats a helluva lot of big games out of the way by the end of October. Even if we were to lose today i dont see it as being a disaster in terms of our league challenge because i see City dropping points against the bigger sides. If anything the momentum Chelsea are building is more of a concern IMO.

I dont hold a candle for City but the team looks pretty dam good esp going forward. Really lookign forward to this game.

As to the point. Barry and Milner arent great i nengland shirts but certainly do a good club job. Clichy is hit and miss but when hit is very good!

Grrr@at most of the games being at 13:30 today, I wanted to watch the Manchester derby as well as the Arsenal game.

+1 Annoying as hell!

Team in full: Szczesny, Djourou, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho, Chamakh.

Substitutes: Fabianski, Frimpong, Rosicky, Benayoun, Arshavin, Park, Van Persie.

It will be interesting to see how we cope with no RvP (for the first 60-70mins).

I'll be happy with a draw today. Certainly won't be in here after regardless of the result though. Bad enough without a Manchester derby adding to the fire.

On paper the City team looks like a dream team with Lescott the odd one out. Utd will need to play out of their skins today to even get a draw.

Andybtsn · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:05

RVP is my captain

Waaaaaaah

I'll wish you all the best for a good game as a United fan. Obviously i dont wish you 3 points though!

god I want to punch jamie redknapp in the face so much

In 25 years of supporting United ive rarely seen the faith in a young homegrown striker that SAF is showing in Welbeck right now.

Shamikebab · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:34

Young beat Richards so easily there.

Shamikebab · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:39

Young has been fouled three times in 8 mins!!

Gackt · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:40

Lol @ the Ashley Young dive.

Pigeon_Killer · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:41

Milner didn't touch him until he was already on the way down

Shamikebab · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:42

Young has started with intent, that tackle on Aguero was excellent.

Cosimo · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:44

Silva dancing away.

Pigeon_Killer · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:46

Oh how I wish we had the money to buy Silva when Benitez was after him. He's a genius and one of the few Premiership players that always entertains.

Shamikebab · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:47

He was a bit lucky, several times tackles were made and the ball just seemed to ricochet back to him

We need to make this start count and get some shots in.

Gackt · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:50

Great tackle on Rooney!
