Oliver Holt – Chief Sports Writer at The Mirror
City will go for it but United have experience and quality to match them. Ability of United’s defence to cope with City attack will be key. 1-1.
Lee Clayton – Head of Sport at The Daily Mail
Rooney to score. I’m loving his calmness and his focus. There’s no better player in England right now. This is his game to own. City to score first in 1-1 draw.
Nick Coppack – ManUtd.com journalist
The “biggest ever Manchester derby” surely can’t live up to the hype. A tense and turgid affair will end 0-0.
Steve Bartram – Contributing Editor for ManUtd.com, United Review and Inside United.
Midfield congestion. Nervous first hour, frantic last half-hour. Whoever has enough energy left or makes better subs will take the points. If City win, I’d be intrigued to see how they’d cope with having pressure and no margin for error in final two games, if United win both.
Mark Ogden – Northern Football Correspondent at The Telegraph
I fancy City because they have to win and that makes a difference. They also have better players in key positions. Being at home also helps. If United treat it like a Champions League game (not this season’s form, obviously!) it could go their way. Whatever, it’ll be massively tense!
Barney – Editor of Red News
The long drag over! Refuse to believe a Ferguson led side will let us down. He is the added factor. Players need to right themselves. It will all be good!
United Rant – United blog
City’s midfield superiority should tell. Neither Scholes not Carrick do well when out-manned or out-muscled. Both may happen on Monday. United have enough players to produce a moment in the game. It’s last chance saloon now – one of Fergie’s big players will grab a goal 1-1
Annie Eaves – Writer for Sport Witness
1-1. Both sides will be nervous. Perhaps an early goal for either side and the game slows, equaliser towards end.
James Maw – Writer/Online Features Editor for FourFourTwo
The pressure’s on City – how they handle that will be key. But on current form they should create chances, and I suspect they may just edge it 2-1.
Rob Dawson – Football writer at the Manchester Evening News
A lot depends on whether United set up with 2 or 3 in midfield. I think Fergie will go 4-4-2 which will make for a more open game. 2-2.
Sam Pilger – Sports Writer for FourFourTwo, The Times Magazine and Esquire.
In my worst nightmares Tevez gets a late winner, but I think it will probably be a nervy, tense affair in which we secure a 1-1 draw.
Howard Nurse – BBC Sport website Football Editor
Can’t make my mind up. 1-0 to United.
Mark Tattersall – City fan
Initially cagey with main battles being Agüero & Tévez v Ferdinand & Evans and Valencia v Clichy. Nasri or Welbeck to score winner in 2-1.
Lauren Wyke – United U15s
2-1 to United.
Man Utd News 24/7
Our pal Tring at it again on the Mail site:
hardly the world-class act that Utd need but at least Kagawa can occasionally set up a goal or two. Sigurdsson? Not sure why we need him. What about defence? Evans, Evra, Rafael all are rubbish. 6 agaist City, 4 vs Everton, 3 vs Blackburn, 3 vs Basel ( all at home ) and great old man says Evans is a top defender? Get at least 2 or 3 decent defenders and a proper midfielder before we can talk about next season. Current squad is a one-man army and Rooney can’t carry the can all the time. This assessment is regardless of tonight’s match agaist City. SAF is plain deluded if he doesn’t realize why tonoght’s match became suddenly crucial. Weak midfield and dumb defence.

Utter fucking cunt.
2-1 United. Welbeck and Scholes with the gaols!
United win thrash city
City won’t know what hit them
United will play this game like a CL semi final – no going back
19
King Eric the guy is a fucking retard! Not worth pissing on if he was burning.
I genuinely think we’ll win by two clear goals, catching city on the break.
RED ARMY
My concern is we have a big hole in our left side of defence which Cities right sided player will have acres of space to fire crosses into our box which we know our stay on your line goalie isn’t going to cut out.And it is a big concern.
Fuck those journos! Nothing but a bunch of muggy cunts! I don’t follow a single journo on Twitter!
Rooneys Facebook page a few minutes ago!
“Time for the talking to stop and the game to begin, can’t wait. United fans believe.”
UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOONEY!!!!!!!!!!
I have to be honest. If the roles were reversed, I’d fancy United to capitalize on City’s latest slip ups and beat them in a game like this. Now we are the ones going into a title decider after a couple of wobbles. But we are also a team that knows how to handle pressure. It’s hard to make any predictions. The “immovable object meets irresistable force” theory might point towards a draw tonight, but I think someone will win. And whoever it is will probably win the title too.
Scott, I’m not sure Laurence Wyke will thank you for calling him Lauren!
Was watching ‘highlights’ of the 6-1 earlier. We really did have a weak team out that day. Anderson at his lowest ebb, Fletcher who we didn’t realise how ill he was, Jones showing naivety and nerves.
Expect Carrick, Scholes and our now more settled defence to be far more solid than we were that day.
Oh surprise surprise that ill looking cunt Ogden fancying City. Prick.
Kanchelskis – Spot on about our line up that day mate.
Costas – Hello mate. I know what you mean but like Fergie said it doesn’t matter whats happened before, its what happens tonight. So true,.
@kanchelskis also Kamikaze attacking in the last 15 mins.
@journeyman73
Yeh, that was ridiculous. Esp with 10 men.
People seem to forget that 3 of their goals came from sheer stupidity from us in the closing minutes, and 5 of them came when we had 10 men.
@journeyman73
And to lose the title on GD, when we gifted them a swing of 6 in the space of those 10 minutes, would be utterly gut-wrenching.
Costas do you know I have an idea locked away called The immovable object and the irresistable force?
Brilliant story but can’t give it away yet, you know just in case Murdoch comes in with 20th century Fox and offers to buy it
@King Eric
Hi mate. Hope that’s indeed the case. I am usually a firm believer that momentum plays a key role in these situations. But like I said, if any team can switch it in their favor, it’s us.
Ogden is a Red, is he not? City fans were giving him pelters on Twitter a few weeks back. Anyway, time for talking is almost over. Actions, not words! United! 19
@MG
Is it about Heskey and Crouch facing of in a penalty shootout?
Mind says 3-2 City, but Utd still retain the title.
Hope im wrong and Utd win tonight and the title and tomorrow might finally be the day to ask for a promo.
I need the extra motivation, Cmon United!
Costas
Where did you get my screenplay from?
It might just be one of them games when united produce that unstoppable flowing counter attacking football. OMG i should have book tomorrow off work.
IVE A FEELING about this one!
BEL20VE
Last season against Chelsea it wasnt even anywhere near as nervous as I am feeling today. Perhaps the 6-1 scoreline still playing on my mind. But we have to believe, that is the only thing we can do now.
It’s amazing how many United fans (including myself) are getting nervous before this fixture in comparison to how all the City fans I know are really relaxed and think City will walk it. I’m really hoping that we can use our experience tonight and get the result that we need, and if we can manage to sneak a win away from home in City’s back yard, it’ll be absolutely monumental, given that they’re unbeaten at home in the League this season. It’s about time someone beat them because all their fans think they’re unbeatable at the moment. I think Giggsy will play a big part in the goals tonight if he plays – he’s always given Micah Richards plenty of problems!
No predictions from me. My previous overconfident predictions have proven I’m no wizard. Like the dude with the ”20 why always us” flag I have to lay low this time.
We’ll do it 2-1. We just need to keep chewing gum neck quiet as he’ll be well up for it. 2-1 to United a brace for Wazza. One things for sure, win lose or draw im getting pissed.
5 hours 25 minutes to kick off………….Booze already flowing slowly…
7 hours 25 minutes to being completely hammered and celebrating a United win
UNITED UNITED UNITED
I’m going for United 4-2. For some reason, that game where O’Shea scores against Arsenal under the floodlights is coming to mind whenever I think of an outcome. Let’s pray I’m right. If I am, I’ll be picking lottery numbers next week for a small fee.
Morning Reds,i don’t think Utd’s recent wobbles have anything to do with tonights game,let’s give some credit to Wigan and Everton both are playing good football.
I’m worried about bad calls more than anything else,win or lose fair and square but another bad decision to cost Utd the title would be the worst outcome
Chris if the City fans are relaxed and think City will walk it just shows you how brain dead and deluded they really are
United flag is deepest RED, it shrouded all our Munich dead
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold their heart’s blood dyed its every fold.
Then raise United’s banner high beneath its shade we’ll live and die to keep the faith and never fear, we’ll keep the RED flag flying high, because Man United will never die…
united 5×0 bitters
we’re gonna pummel them!
Anyone know if Evans and Nani are fit?were’s all the tweeters when you need them.Read something last night Sir Alex is thinking about playing Park on the left,when was the last time he played just can’t see that but you never know with Sir Alex
wayne
Its easier predicting lottery numbers then Sir Alex’s line ups………Not too fussed with team selection or formation etc, as long as the 11 wearing the shirt give their all its what I care about
@Wayne
Haven’t seen anything on Twitter remotely trustworthy casting doubts on fitness of Evans and/or Nani. Daily Fail had something a few days ago about Nani pulling up in training, but no other papers carried it, so it can be taken with a pinch of salt at the very least.
I’d also be very, very surprised if Park plays on the wing. But you never know, he might just bench Welbeck and use Park to flood the midfield?
I heard Evans and Nani are both fit Wayne…
Cedars i’m with you mate just want the lads to go out and battle,in a way Park would make sense if Sir Alex is going to pack the midfield give Evra more protection.Left hand side has been suspect all year defensively just been hearing the Evans,Nani, injury rumors for a few days but nothing official
kanchelskis hi mate we’re both thinking the same thing just worried about Park’s fitness and sharpness if he does play
@wayne
Yeh, he looks these days like he may be down to just two-and-a-half lungs!
But I’d say you can’t underestimate the value of having a runner in the middle of the pitch just to help to stop City running the game. Still think Fergie would go for Jones in that role, not Park.
A lot of tactical discussion seems to be coming round to the idea that we need to play on the counter. For me, that counts against Welbeck. On the counter, you need a clinical finisher, and Welbeck isn’t quite there yet. He scores some great goals, but isn’t predatory enough in the box. He hasn’t done it much this season, but I think Wayne might be readying himself for riding solo up front this evening.
fuck i am nervous. thank god i smoke.
LMAO King Eric so you also read that comment. I read it yesterday and I was just disgusted. Why do so called fans of ours talk like this? who is this j john tring idiot? Kagawa is not world class? we need THREE defenders? WOW. I thank God he is not coaching any team right now because that would spell the end for them.
Been a while but I’m back! Can anyone recommend any online streams with English commentary for tonight? If I go pub I won’t turn in work tomorrow for sure
Hello all! Just over 4 hours remaining until kickoff. I might get a stroke soon. My blood pressure has been building up all day. Might die before the match even starts (Especially if I don’t see Scholes name in the starting line up) :’(
Anyway, here is a very interesting read on Darren Fletcher and his condition – http://www.sportskeeda.com/2012/04/10/does-darren-fletcher-have-any-friends-outside-manchester-united/
We Will Never DIe!
Standing outside of Jnr’s class for five minutes 20 minutes ago waiting for him to come back from swimming:
UNITED UNITED UNITED…
The only water that is going to put this city fire out is United’s and United’s alone
19
Petey, there’s always streams running over at http://www.lshunter.com
Don’t even think twice about failure.
We’ve been on this road before, it’s our to lose. If they want it they will have to not only beat us but thrash us – everything will have to go there way.
I don’t believe that is going to happen.
This team knows that it has to hold up it’s integrity like it has never done before.
We are here in a game changer and the only ones that can change this game for better or for worse is Manchester United.
City have no variable on this – every single outcome is up to Manchester United.
I believe in my team.
19
At the end:
They have the goal difference we have the points
Every thing has got us here
Go back to the basics – it is a game of three points.
They can’t get three points today and that’s period.
Let them come at us – if we are not ready now we’ll never be ready
19
2-0 down in Wembley I told my brother 2 things
We are going to win this and we’ll go to city and beat them there for our trophy.
I am one half down one half to go
I’ll wear my shirt over any shirt any day of the week.
This is the only shirt that ever mattered.
To think of anything else is to betray our ideals.
We are not bigger than anyone.
We are however UNITED.
That’s us over anyone. We will run out of time but we are never beaten, because in our DNA we have never learnt to stop.

UNITED UNITED UNITED
Ok so I’ll start with the prediction
My Predictions for tonight – United to score the winner in the 82nd minute, chicharito or carrick to score that.
Cheers jones!
I want to believe our players have thought of everything they have put the fans/supporters through in our support of them this season .Payback is the order of the day ! everything United stands for rests with their belief in themselves.We can and will win this simply because we are UNITED .
210 minutes to go folks………How are you spending them?
I dnt really know how I’m feeling. Only United can give me this kinda feeling. Bring it on!
Dear Manchester United Family,
How are u today?
From my heart , This may help.
Whatever your beliefs, flow with this.
Say a prayer.
Pray for you/your family , Ferguson ,the team ,everyone at our club and thier family’s, and our fellow supporters.
Pray for forgiveness.
Pray and express gratitude.
Pray for guidance.
Pray for protection.
Pray for blessings.
Pray for perfect health.
Give thanks.
When ur thinking about the players during tha game , say God bless Rooney or the name of the player or our manager , God bless us , say this rather than cut into our team.
Have Faith and let your mind be focussed on our Manchester United Family.
The message will transmit.
For those of you reading this, smile and move on if your not into it, smile and give it a go if it makes sense, Bless those of you who do this always.
God Bless Manchester United and our Family’s.
I’ve been in Manchester for nearly 30 hours now.
Normally the first thing I notice is how everyone talks like me.
This time I’ve been told my accent has developed a bit of an Irish twang.
I’m on the bus now, on my way into town. Fucking hell I’m up for this one.
If I get killed today it will mean we scored at least one goal. So it won’t be in vain.
United United United United
What a friend we have in Cedars! He’s always been a friend to me! He’s part of the famous Red Army, so fuck sake everyone believe! United! United! United! United! 19
Get pumped up fellas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOEwL7ArcVo&feature=related
We can with the right result effectively win the league tonight,a share of the points will be enough to take us over the line imo.So just do it United.
The 2 interesting quotes are the one about whether we go into this like a cagy Euro match and the other on whether we play a 442.
This game will be down to tactics, and luck. As always.
Bring it on! Get in U Reds!
My prediction is shitty will be the moral winners of tonight`s game, again. 3-2 for United.
I know for sure that city is a strong team but United is going to pass over them stronger. United to get atleast a point.
Unconfirmed but hearing Richards, Nasri and Barry could all be on bench for #mcfc tonight
I have a great feeling. we should play Valencia/Nani in the middle/right in a 5 men midfiled where they keep SHItty guessing.

Cedars, thanks for that vid mate! The Battle of Manchester draws ever closer…I have lost my apetite.

Fear not, this is UNITED…….The lads will make sure everything will be just fine
Can’t remember the last time I saw so many nervous United fans.
Just get the game out of the way already!
all pumped up and ready for the match! trouble is its still 2:30 hours away!
planetx6 – nice thinking, doubt we go with that though.
I’ve got a feeling United will edge this one. From what I’ve seen of City when the real pressure is on they can’t handle it, Anyway i hope (through gritted teeth
) United win the League and not City, basically because they haven’t earned it, just like Chelsea, both plastics!
I loved this tweet:
Ugly scenes outside the Etihad Stadium. Lescott and Tevez have just arrived.
Smashley
Cheers pal, always on here with level headed posts, I salute you….. Between the both of us I would much rather it was United and Liverpool fighting it out for the title rather than them fake wanna be clubs
Come On United
FOR THE BUSBY BABES
MUFC have not conceded a goal and have won 8 out of 8 Monday night matches going back to 2007/08 season via Sky
we’ve got to flood the middle of the park. 5 men mid is a must
I don’t see this game being a draw AT ALL. If it is heading to a draw City will throw everything at it and either score or leave gaps for United to do the same. If it’s a draw City will attack relentlessly in the closing 15 mins or so and United will defend and try to counter attack.
I see this as 3-1 to the winner. Or a 3-0. Our biggest weakness with be MF, if we get a situation as n CL games where we have wave after wave of attacks through MF hammering our defence then we will likely lose. If we retain possession well and snap into the MF game then we will likely win.
i won’t be surpirsed if gaffer puts welbz on one wing today. doesn’t matter who plays. the team will know whats coming. there will be only one show and the famous man united will be there!
Mancini is a good coach, I expect that SAF will need to tinker with the team at half time to match what Mancini puts out; City can play around with team set up more as we don’t have the depth of squad to do that right now. Ah if Vidic was here and Fletch on form, how different things would look.
I bet Mancini will do the following:
- double up on wingers
- Kompany will man mark Rooney in the zone
- they will use Toure, Silva, Aguero and Tevez/ Balotelli to attach through the centre.
ESPN reporting Rooney will feature as lone striker, with Park Ji-Sung coming into a five-man midfield.
European tactics then! Get in!
El Mancunlico !!! Oh yeah!
fuck momentum. We had momentum when they beat us 6-1. their turn now.
park – park -park !!!!!
Cedars
We live and breathe this club
And now we also get to pass it on
And God bless my good friend Dave in Malaysia
Though I still get to keep Hayley
Let us believe that we are not going to stop until we get to 20.
We have a title to win Ladies and Gentlemen

Fletch
If it’s true im surprised at parks inclusion. He hasn’t had a lot of game time being thrown into such a big game and the games he has featured in this season haven’t been his best in a United shirt. Interesting.
Heard the Park theory a lot since yesterday. I know he’s a player that tends to come into games like this with a special mission in mind. But, this time it’s a bit different. Park has been out of the loop for too long. If we play 4-5-1 (which I hope we don’t), then something tells me it won’t be with Park as the 3rd CM.
I can’t wait…. Come on UNITED!!
I just CAN’T wait, the time is soo slow!
Park, Park, Park!!!
Park Park wherever you may be, you eat dogs in your own country,
It could be worse, you could be scouse,
Eating rats in your council house!
No offense smashley.
So fucking pumped. UNITED
Come on United! Batter the bitters!
We have two options re result, city one…. To lose
.
Ay rumors about the line up today…. All I know is that we’ve got park starting
@ Mikekelly12: haha no offence taken, mate, all good fun. Good luck tonight!
Cedars- I fucking begrudge the attention we give city now. At least the scouse earned the rivalry out of some periods of dominance in the game. Fucking sickening city are. Admire some of the players but the fans are shite.
Nice 1 smashley.
Manchester’s bouncin’ …..
gonna be some night. ‘MON UNITED

Fucking hate everything about them. Using money they haven’t earned to buy success. Hope it blows up in their fucking faces!
Brothers, what we do in Derby matches echoes in eternity. Get Stuck In Lads!!!
You mean Mike we get endless women food and wine in the afterlife?
Hell yes! Let’s go for it!
Just about 2 hours to kick off, I am not calm, I am not steady. I want a United win – I don’t care who scores it 3 points please.
Defend like fuck. Dominate the midfield and let the bitters make unforced errors. Wish keane was still playing and bayern bastian had signed up. Couple of real hard fuckers to temper those blue cunts. Enough in the tool box to handle them, just keep their heads together . No fucking reds for the reds please . Fans need to ousting the blue cunts too COME ON REDS!!!! .
Typo outsing
MG
We hope so pal!!!
I’m in confident mood ahead of tonight’s match. I predict a Tevez own goal last minute winner to which he will then run to the city fans, lift his shirt to reveal a United shirt underneath and kiss the badge.
In the afterlife:
We’ll all be sitting on the beach having endless drinks watching the girls go by
But more importantly we’ll sit together cheering United on
Wherever we will be that will never stop.
And me and Costas – we’ll make the best kebabs in heaven
However that’s a long way away. We are here – we’ll make it together before we make it anywhere else.

shearer predictions
Anyone have a link -I am clearly going to b watching the first half at least from the office – FK it!
Give us the opportunity of being able to wrap it up next week boys!! Remember how much that 1-6 hurt at Old Trafford. Time to make amends!
@ iced earth – if they listen to Shearer’s tips they will definately lose. The only think the guy manages these days is a wank if that.
I actually fancy Giggs on LW at some pt in this game, his intricate passing from left is needed if Nani is not doing it.
Final post before I piss off to the boozer……….Feeling calm and composed, voice ready to rip through Limassol………..
The lads will make us all proud tonight…

Aaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!

@ MikeKelly12 – exactly mate.
Let me also call u lucky swines sirs, such that can escape to a pub or lounge or LIVE match – holy cow, Manchester will b kicking!
Tevez & Lescott arrive to sound track of “who let the dogs out…!” – and you know who eats the dogs
“I fancy City because they have to win and that makes a difference.”
LOL. So they have to win and we don’t. That makes a whole lot sense now
Park, Park, Park!!!!
Unfortunately failed in my futile task of securing a ticket for the game!! Will be watching it with fellow reds and praying for redemption!
Fergie: “There will be occasions when fans get nervous — that’s understandable.”We’re contesting the title with our city neighbours and that brings about a different nervousness to normal.”But the fans have to trust the players — and the important thing is to get right behind us. When they do that, it makes a big difference.”
come on red devils we must win
When do we get the line up????
Not long to go now, gonna start putting the kids to bed so I can get ready to watch the game. I could really do with a glass of wine to settle the nerves, but we never seem to win when I have a drink while watching the game, don’t want to tempt fate, so will have to resist until after.
Trust, trust, trust!!!! Is that it? We should win now.
Ugly scenes outside the Etihad Stadium. Lescott and Tevez have just arrived.
Key man – only one – Rio. Rio organise, shout, marshall, defend well and we r in there.
Step on Happy Red Monday! Come on da fuck United!! Fuck off city! Fuck off city! fuck off city! 19

Aguero and kettle neck need to be tempered.
how can park play ahead of valencia, when valencia can do park’s job and get forward in the attacking third, giggs is another strange one
De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Giggs, Park, Rooney. lineup
hopefully we’ll make good use of subs
United will win 4 – 1
Very odd dropping Valencia and bringing in Park.
Ferguson talks about the United way of playing – attacking minded, never play for a 0-0 draw. This lineup suggests we’re hoping for a 0-0 draw. No ball control in this side apart from Nani Carrick and Scholes. We are going to be under a lot of pressure with this team.
hoping Park’s got his big game boots on, he better since he knocked Valencia out of the squad. it looks like its gonna be a slugfest in midfield with a very boring first 20min followed my temperamental 20, before the game opens up a bit
