ONH "DERBY" week lock down!

with the up & coming derby at OT only six days away now & feelings starting to run high on both sides I'll let you lot get on with your United "bashing" & give it a miss on here till weekend.

Both teams SHOULD win their CL games this week & then the countdown to Sundays big game will begin proper. Will City be happy with a draw or will city go for it & play for a win. I'll be gutted if United dont get all three points to be honest but I've no doubt its going to be our hardest game of the season up to now, cant wait

Feel free to slag me off anytime by the way

Obviously i'd love to win but tbh i'd personally be more than happy with a point, preserving the lead at the top. I'd expect it to be a very cagey game early on with both teams unwilling to make the 1st mistake, hopefully it'll be a bit more open in the 2nd half. As we know, both teams are more than capable of scoring and i think they both will, who comes out on top though really is anyones guess. I just hope RM doesn't defend too much and too deep, or we could be in trouble.

i don't think we can afford our customary slow start.

we really need to be up and at 'em from the start

We should play like we should have set up against Munich. Keep it very tight in the first half, 5 across the midfield & then go for the win in the 2nd.

Owen Hargreaves to get the winner in the 7th minute of Fergie time !
