Its good for us that they did win, they might now go into the Liverpool game with some motivation.

Its for a similar reason, that I'm glad that Arsenal have got the Ox back from suspension...(for the City clash)

Time for our minions to get to work...

[Shane 2,275]

Come on United tomorrow!!

Time for mata to earn his PL medal.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If Mata scores the winner, well done Mourinho

[Special Juan 27,439]

With Van Rapist being out they need to get Mata behind Rooney if they have any chance of winning it.

[bushman 2,043]

Gibbs & Oxy no sanctions for both. Now, what kind of fucking jokers are on the FA board?

Apparently, Oxy had not in fact, technically prevented a clear goalscoring opportunity as the shot looked to be going just wide.

Now, my question. Did Oxy know whether the ball was going in or not. If he knew it was just wide, then why did he touch it?

Another fucking idiotic rule was applied here.

Mata due a performance tonight. With Persie out he should have more of a free rein behind Rooney.

Problem is even if United win City still only need to win their remaining matches, even if we win all our games

But I dont hold out much hope anyway, Moyes is hardly inspiring either, even the cringeworthy, desperate goal celebrations look like wide eyed tramp thats found some beer

[Rmpr 8,977]

I very much doubt Mata will play well. He has always struggled against City's physicality, so why the hell would he all of a sudden turn that around with United???

Anyways, I'm expecting a blow-out from ManCity...

Agent Mata has already completed 1 half of his job against Arsenal. Now to do get it fully done against City.

he completed 1 third, failed with 1 third against pool. Lets see what happens with the last third tonight

Unfortunately City are in a different bracket to Arsenal, but it is time for Mata to do what he is capable of.

[Mr_President 404]

Well, here's to hoping Utd's players show some backbone and pride tonight and stick it to City. They have actually looked better without Van Persie for a lot of this season (with Rooney as the main striker) so I don't think that will be too big of a problem. City are still missing Aguero, aren't they?

[Special Juan 27,439]

Yes Aguero is out.

[Pizy 18,419]

Think United will come into this one on a high and thinking "we can win this!" but will get destroyed. Hope I'm wrong.

I can just see Silva slicing through that defense like butter.

[zolayes 14,489]

hope it gets nasty a few straight red cards for City would be good .. about time Yaya gets done for hitting ,,kicking and stamping on players

[gary gordon 1,777]

The first time in my entire life that I'll be cheering for United. I'd love a draw because I have a feeling city will drop points to Liverpool.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

United's defence is too shit to hold out City. Only chance they have is to outscore City which I don't think is possible either. Really don't think United can win, hoping for a 2-2 draw.
