you are right chrisb , City cant play as poorly as they have in their last 3 matches. United will attack and City will get them on the counter. I predicted 6-1 just to bring back the pain and to remind the United fans that we have not forgotten about the 6-1. Realistically 3-2 to City

Did you here that Peter Scmeichel thought City were a bigger club than United.
Not sure,but they are more like the local club regarding fan base.

did not hear that but regarding the result of this match if United win then they might as well stop the season, hand the title to your lot and start again as they are the only side that can realistically challenge Chelsea right up until the end. But you are right about the United fans on this forum, Englander and Agra have a least come out and posted whenever they have lost, but the rest of them are hiding. Bob is no United fan as he takes the piss with them whenever they lose (biggest wind up merchant on the forum is our Bob). Would be interesting to wake up on Monday and read ABC if United win. It will be a reunion of lost souls.

At least Englander knows where the ground is,but I think he is a Chelsea fan deep down.
He only started following United because of Cantonas poetry,being a bit of a waffler himself.

Maybe Englander is a 'farmer' just like Cantona

Ah Dave, Cantona was indeed poetry in motion, what a player.

I see you have your Mr Hypocritical head on again. Plasticski. Thought United played, or were allowed to play, well first half on Sunday. 2nd half we weren't in it and I thought the plastics played a really excellent, controlled half of football. For me it was not really negative at all, just excellent control of the football though it could be argued that a little more "abandon" could have seen them have the game sewn up. Was the Ivanocic sending off harsh or was he plain stupid? I never saw a replay.

This Sunday. 0-5.

One from the scrapbook.

This was up there slightly behind the birth of my children.

Taken shortly before the pitch invasion but what was really brilliant about this is that Oldham Athletic got promoted the same season and we beat them at Boundary Park.

Oldham have broken down the main stand and are in the process of putting up a new one. How unlucky, or should I say robbed, against Man United in the semi final when Hughes equalised in the 99th minute.

hahaha CnC I remember that so well, volume had been turned off, despair and despondency had set in, things being thrown around the apartment, language bluer than Chrisb's avatar... ah, but what a goal, only Hughes could do that

Gary Bailey was gloating before the match (On radio 702) and said no Latics fans in Joburg. One guy phoned in and we all piled round to his place to watch it live. Before Hughes scored I was going to contact the club for the tickets, somebody else was going to check the airlines. It was still a good night out though.

Even if we win, you won't see a response from me.
The time is not right. I am waiting for the 2 signings in January and then hopefully make a major push for 4th place.
For me , anything else will be a failure.
True... City will come at United in full force after their dismal performances of late.
Their home support will demand nothing less.

So in other words you too want United to buy success .If United don't make the top 4 this season then there is something seriously wrong there. Liverpool, Spurs, Everton and Arsenal are playing as if they don't want to get into the top 4 so its yours to mess up.
