No its 8 I think, coverage has already started on bbc interactive.

BBC 1 coverage starts at 8. It's 8.05 kick-off. Anyway, doesn't really matter.

Buzzing for this one now, Carling Cup Schmarling Schmup, it's city, and it's MASSIVE.

Come on United!

That sounds like a Richard Keyes lead in.

Richards and Boyata CB for City.

I wouldnt call that strong.

Could be a goal or two in this for Valencia and Rooney then. If Fergie does that Flying V formation (from looking at that line - up, I assume that will be the formation), we'll see Valencia very high up the pitch.

Except he would be blissfully unaware of the connotations of the words 'massive'.

I'm going for a 1-1 draw tonight, Valencia with our goal.

Hoki

Screw it, 2-1, Valencia and Rooney.

Instant Karma

17 - 0 to city is my prediction then.

I've had to set this to record on the DVR, I have a bloody match tonight, the one time there's a promising game live on BBC:mad:

As for predictions, 1-1. Scrappy but entertaining, I just hope that Tevez character doesn't get on the score sheet.

That move is flawed without Charlie Conway at the heart of it.

Gaz Baz further up surely, he's a brilliant passer

besty

Carrick - Anderson - Fletcher > De Jong - Kompany - Barry

redout

Fletch and Evans didnt look to pleased with Tevez during the handshake.

Johner

20 blips on City. Come on City.

Yeah and he's been shit lately.

When Hughes played those three in the middle (or Hamann last year) he was slaughtered.

Yup noticed that...


Since when was Shay Given appointed captain??????

flahavaj

Why isn'y Onouha playing for City anyway, decent prospect I thought?

besty

Lovely pass from Carrick to Valencia there.

Only for about the past 5 games now.

Toure is gone to the Nations Cup and vice captain Ireland has been injured.

besty

Some signs of niggle there between Tevez and Evans!

Only back from about 6 weeks out

ntlbell

for anyone watching on bbc is the colour/recption odd looking?

Vokes

Zabaleta playing left midfield in a 4-4-2. So strange. Has he played there before?

Anderson playing high up the pitch. I like it.
Nice early possesion for both teams now at this stage.
Could be a belter of a game.

Mitch Connor

so nervous. so so nervous. so very nervous.

ntlbell

Why?

Good, open start to things. This is shaping up nicely. I also like Anderson in that advanced role.

United players should not be friends with City players. Simples.
