Manchester United v Sunderland

Old Trafford

KO 3PM

My prediction for the team line up...I also reckon we might see Valencia at Right back and Darmian at left back possibly??

This is the day when we can finally relax during the game.

Superb attacking football.
80% possession
Crowd in its element
United win by a 4 goal margin.

the locust, a harmless desert grasshopper. but, from time to time, locusts swarm in their tens of millions and become creatures of terror. they leave behind them desert and desolation. why they swarm is yet a mystery. perhaps, like all of us, they dream of grass and sparkling water, of a safe and perfect land.

would not complain at all with that line-up - would always have Carrick in but.....

if we don't win convincingly today I wonder where we're going as these £#%&!ers are overdue a thumping from us. Then again, a good win and maybe we're beginning to see the light and giddiness. September champions etc

Today is not about being able to 'relax' at all. In fact I'd argue it's a huge 3 points at stake as we are about to move into a very, very difficult list of fixtures in October where it's quite possible we'll lose a couple of games.

got a feeling we're gonna hammer them.

what's LVG's highest scoring game at utd? got a feeling it will be broken today

1-0 United

Shit game

Songs about ex players by half time

Classic banana skin for big louis. 10 men behind the ball and rooney to play like he's got food poisoning.

0-0 or 0-1. Field day for the hystericals.

has Sandy Turnbull got a song yet?

Should be a comfortable win, Sunderland are dreadful and doomed to relegation.

Some rotation possible, Valencia to stay at RB, Schweinsteiger allowed an afternoon off.

You can get 14-1 on Sunderland in places, so if you genuinely believe that, lump the £#%&! on.

good point

we are nowhere near good enough yet to take any game for granted or to start 'managing' two or three games. We have had a good few weeks since Swansea, but our confidence is like glass and it could all unravel very quickly.

each game is essential in our development and this is no different.
