In style, the Mourinho way

I've been up since about 5am, like a £#%&!ing kid at Christmas

One of weirdest pre match feelings I've had for a long time. Doesn't help that I'm sat here in the full home kit.

Tight one this

I can see either team winning 2-0 as the one that goes 0-1 down chases the game and gets picked off late on.

Il go for us to get the 2-0

As hyped as it is, I think both teams will be terrified to lose it. If it's a draw around the 60-70 Mark, I could see it playing out meekly.

I'm gonna fence-sit and say 1-1.

Can see us hammering them.. 4-1

Up early. Can't wait. So much more confident with a spine of big brilliant £#%&!ers like Bailly, Poggers and Zlat. Rashers to cause chaos in the last half hour aswell. 3-1.

£#%&!ing come on United

Nil nil

It's because we've been starved of nerves for three years ffs

I feel similar to how I did before a match under Fergie during a title run in, after three games.

I trust José in the big games. I trust we'll be set up right and there's few better than him at suffocating an oppositions threats. If our big players turn up, I think we can nick it.

SSGs new sparring partner



Hoping for a mauling. A cricket score if you will

Lots of hype (hopefully Martin Tyler will have an aneurysm) and no goals or anything resembling good football

Might have a couple of red cards too.

Few cans last night to settle the nerves but up with the lark this morning and buzzing already. Let's smash these @#%&!s!

The Utd 1-0 is the wife's.

FA Cup Final aside this feels like the biggest Utd game since the Real Madrid games in 2013. On that night at OT we played superbly and were robbed. Had we won the momentum from eliminating Madrid would have seen us grow stronger and compete for the trophy.

Today has that feel. Points wise it won't be bjg but the psychological marker a win will have is massive.

Quite simply have to win at all costs. The confidence an away win would give them could see the @#%&!s knocking together 8-10 wins in a row to start the season.
