I think that I'm going to go down to the pub to watch this evening's game; first time in a couple of years that I will have done that.

Any reasons why it won't be a good game? Both teams tend to attack rather than defend, and it could be decisive as to where the title goes.

My forecast is City 4-2 Utd.

I am predicting this won't be a good match. It will be a cagey and netvy game.

I still haven'y decided who I want to win . Don't like the idea of someone buying the title - but over the years preferred city as a club ... and manu beat us 7- 2...and SAF ...

Think, like most derby-matches, first 20min. or even first half could be scrappy. I expects Man City to suffer some critical injuries thro' sly Man Utd fowls, notably stamping of metatarsals or ankles. Paul Scholes definitely to be sent off - cannot tackle fairly.
Result to be for City to lose IF THEY BOTTLE-IT! If City really go for it then, hopefully result City 3 MU 1.

Forget the 90 minutes - it all depends on how much Fergie time!

Bibblebub,
PMSL regarding your latest comment/quote by Captain Oates. Hope your initial forecast is right.

Sir-prize,
LOL, yup scary but match is not at Old Trafford where Fergie's watch rules.
P.S. Surely Man Utd too old.

Looking good at HT with City gaining confidence in last-15 min. Note, I'm only listening on 5-Live Radio.
Now Man Utd have to come-out for goal, should help City.
Referee weak, bullied by Fergie and Looney Rooney. Man City should be stronger and win if Utd don't score in 20min post HT. Still say and hope my predicted score earlier City 3 - Utd 1 is right.
Good, no Utd subs yet!
