V

Sky Sports 1
Kick off: 12.45

Should be a cracker of a game. I'm hoping for the following line up from Utd

--- Rafa - Rio - Vida - Evra

---

---- Fletch - Carrick:( - Park

---

---

Valencia --- Nani

---

---

Rooney

---

I think it will be a draw but it's a must win for UTD.

Unfortunatley I see Citeh winning this and comfortably so. 2-1 or 3-1.

As we are a one man team I think it all depends on if Rooney plays. If he doesnt then I can see City winning this.

KittyeeTrix

Cannot wait!!!!

I feel like a kid again on xmas eve!!!:D

It's such an important match for both sides, the bragging rights are gonna be massive:eek::p
Definitely not gonna be on boards as I watch, too nervy.

Hoping revenge will be sweet, but good luck to both sides with a bit extra thrown in for City (obviously);)

And technically the Chelsea team are all serfs. So, just need to post it 20 more times, to be safe.

Er, hopefully not! Bricking it here to be honest. We've been playing fabulous this last few weeks, whereas Norwich seem to have lost their way somewhat. However, as we all know, form flies out of the window where derby matches are concerned. I remember a few years back (3 or 4?) when we had a pale imitation of the team we have now. Stuart Pearce was our manager, and we weren't pulling up any trees (nothing new there!). However, by some miracle, we bagged a 4-1 win; still can't figure out how, even now! As for tomorrow, I'd snatch your arm off at the socket if I was offered a scrappy 1-0 win. Probably end up a draw though.

The comparison of United to norwich is either stupidity or else a dig.

The norwich "dig" is about as harmless as it gets. jaysus.

Show me where I was arrogant. Sarcastic? Yes, guilty as charged. If you actually carefully read the post, you would see I also had a dig at my own club as well. I haven't predicted a win for us either.

KittyeeTrix

Wasn't being funny, genuinely didn't get the Norwich reference...
Got it now:)

Dont worry about it. That was actually one of the least offensive posts I've seen here, we Utd fans are just in a bad place at the moment.

So.....how about that Carlos Tevez eh?

Glad you took it in the manner it was meant. Seems some people are a bit touchy on here. Derby weekends are all about the rivalry between the clubs. I've lost count at the number of texts I've got this week repeating the joke about the cloud of dust emanating from the cleaning of the City trophy cabinet. and it is fairly funny. These sorts of things aren't worth getting all precious over. If I'd taken City that seriously this past 40-odd years, I'd have had more than the one heart attack so far!

IvySlayer

When we last played there, we were pretty good. Hopefully no dodgy penalties for City this time round

A win for us and Chelsea drop points, we're right back in the race. I'm guessing it's 4-5-1 with Rooney....Wouldn't mind

Nani - Fletcher - Giggs - Valencia

Berbatov

Rooney

I just know Fergie will pick Carrick over Berbatov and just overload our midfield.

No sweat. Re. Carlos; he started off the season really indifferently, probably due to the injury he was carrying when we signed him. However, fair play to the lad. He has been absolutely brilliant for us since the autumn. Easily our player of the season (by a distance). If Rooney hadn't had the season that he's had, I could see him getting very close to that PFA player of the year award. However, that is a certainty to go to Rooney.

Dave147

Lol that was quite funny tbh..

As for the match, as an outsider I predict a win for City, 3-1, 2-0, think it will be comfortable and my bets have reflected it but then again in a game like this it's impossible to tell.

True!
And hopefully this time the ref will calculate added time using a watch rather than a calendar, er, unless we're losing!:pac:

has Gary Cook comment on this match yet ?

Give him time. He usually has a comment on most things. The club is actually being run on a very professional footing now (very unusual for us!). Just do us a favour Garry, and keep away from microphones!

No, he says he's an outsider, he predicts a comfortable 3-1 or 2-0. He usually bets correctly and erm...it's impossible to call....

Valmont

I think Manchester City will win this one. They're playing too good right now and I can't see Rooney getting right back into the swing of things so soon after his injury.

God, I hope you're right re. the result. However, much as it pains me to say it, you are wrong about Rooney. Players of his calibre don't need much time to get back into the swing. Look at Van Persie the other night; class shows.

ah I took it the wrong way. i'll admit that.

tbh I don't think united are playing well enough to win this. 1-1

Looking forward to this game.

Sitting on the fence and calling a draw as City are playing good stuff and Tevez especially is on fire and he'll be trying twice as hard tomorrow.

Uniteds chances depend on Rooney and Fergies midfield selection.

2-2

KittyeeTrix

Way to calm in here for my liking!!!:D

Utd are nothing, City are great!!!!!!!!

Only joking, only joking but seriously cannot wait for kick-off (on the pitch I mean)
Should be a great match!!!
