Gather round children.

Man United vs Man City.

Saturday 12th Feb. 12:45pm Kick off. Live on Sky Sports.

Predictions (Jinx attempts), discussions and debates here.

Poll included.

Fernando Torres.

Will be a draw or win for City.

No Rio at the back, we look so much more weak without him.

You're not funny.

Thread made 4 days before the match = getting overhyped followed then by inevitably letting everyone down.

We'll come out defensive, United will have to break us down. Our only chance is if we get a lucky break.

I'll say 1-0 to United.

Who's over hyped? I made the thread because the forum seems kind of dead right now. It's something to talk about.

Citeh.

Draw or City win. No where near confident for this after the defeat to Wolves.

With Rio out as well, we will be weak on crosses. Did you know the last 7 headed goals scored against us Rio wasn't player Dzeko, if he plays, will cause all sorts of problems in the air. The again I don't see City going 2 up top against us.

This match will be overhyped. Not necessarily by you, but I mean making it so early will overhype it because now it will have been discussed all week.

Yeah, it'll never be a 4-3 thriller. I mean that's never happened before.

Oh wait.

United to score in 90+7'

City will go 5-5-0 to make it difficult like they did for Arsenal. Not good enough this year unfortunately, but never mind maybe another 200m could help.

This looks like a game where the matchwinner could be one that is good at working in tight spaces - namely Dimitar Berbatov.

Or Tevez.

Come on United

Seriously, I'm disappointed, match is like 4 days away still.

If Man United happen to lose, that will be two on the trot and confidence will be sinking.

You then have to play Wigan away, Chelsea away and Liverpool away all in a row

Good luck United

That was under Mark Hughes though. The word defense meant nothing to him.

Reckon we will line up something like this -

Just like how our confidence sunk when we lost 2 in a row in 08/09 and went onto win the league with a game to spare?

Because you always try and paint a bad picture for us by stating the obvious, it's like me saying if you lose your next game, then lose your next 7 games, it wont be good for you.

Or Tevez.

How will he score in Citys defensive formation, they will barely leave their half

The only way Tevez seems to score is with penaltys, so if the referee awards City their typical dodgy enalty, that is the only way Tevez will score.

Are you seriously telling me that you're not feeling nervous looking at your next 4 games?

Man City home
Wigan away
Chelsea away
Liverpool away



Compared to Arsenal's fixtures

Wolves home
Stoke home
Birmingham home
Sunderland home

And they're only 4 points behind.

I think you'll be overtaken in the coming weeks. Might even drop down to 3rd.

About to stay that, you got battered by Fulham but went on to win.
