i assumed evans and brown were also out, evans ahead of JOS

the midfield is hardly weak, swap gibson for carrick maybe, but we need gibsons attacking edge tbh i dont think berbatov will start
your midfield is terrible

gibson average

carrick average

flecther decent ball winner- stands out in a poor mf

scholes, should be in a retirement home

park a horse, literally a horse who just runs

valencia and nani are decent wingers 3 out of 5

city will win this game imo, they are on form and have a better midfield and strike force
a ball winner is a ball winner, you may have the best in the world, fletcher scores and creates goals, i know what id prefer. scholes/carrick offer a fair bit when not getting caught on the ball, gibson has alot of potential people complain that the big teams do not bring through any youth, but the players get written off before they have had a chance which is the main problem

the goal against bayern from gibson was no accident give him a run in the side, especially just off rooney with 2 behind him, and he may change a few minds

no chance we will be in for the title if we lose this, and liverpool definitely wont get 4th as well. so really, this is one of the most important games of the season for me. i wanna win the league obviously, but the last thing i want is for city to make 4th.
Do you still think they can win the title? :unsure:
if chelsea slip up. statistically its not impossible. but thats only if chelsea slip up, the title is theres to lose.

I couldn't stay away for this one, so I'll be here for today.... Really looking forward to this match... I'm going for a city win, but that's just my heart speaking. My head says it's too close to call. But what a match it is on paper both us and united fighting for something in the league, with that added derby pressure... can't wait till kick off :)

welcome back <_<

ive already said i think we are going to lose :cry: but yes, partially i cant handle losing to city, this season of all seasons. but mainly because i suck under pressure. i feel like im going to internally combust watching games like this. i'm very tempted to go shopping for 2 hours and then come back to the score...then avoid contact with any city fans.

Changing my tune since 2008.
Who's watching the match on Sky Sports? The intro is relatively amusing (but very clever) to this...
