Oncs upon a time those two United’s used to be rivals and went toe-to-toe for the Premier League crown.
We fluffed it whilst the Red Devils didn’t and the rest is, as they say, history. Manchester United went from strength to strength whilst we fell away, but there will always be a part of me that is left wondering “what if”. What if we did hold out? Where would we be now? Would we have been able to take a seat near the top of the Premier League table for a more sustained period?
I guess it doesn’t really matter now. That was many years ago now but today is all that matters. As detailed in my match preview, Manchester United have been shaky so far this term but they do have a habit of performing against us.
They are without Wayne Rooney, who again has a habit of performing against us, but they still have dangerous players. Check out the full team news below.
The match itself is being broadcast here in the UK via BT Sport and is also being shown worldwide so picking up a stream should be fairly easy. If you do find a good stream then by all means feel free to leave a link to it in the ‘comments’ section below.
On paper there has never been a better time to play at Old Trafford but I’m still not expecting anything. A better performance than what we saw at Swansea would be a start though.
Howay the lads!
Manchester United: David De Gea; Rafael, Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra; Nani, Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley, Adnan Januzaj; Javier Hernandez, Robin van Persie
Subs: Anders Lindegaard, Rio Ferdinand, Anderson, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Wilfried Zaha, Danny Welbeck

Nini did a great job today. 😀
JJ(Quote)
Players mustn’t get cocky.
Ben Arfa – so much talent. He has the opposition clueless as to what he’s doing next. Unfortunately his team mates are clueless as to what he wants them to do or where to make runs too.

There are huge gaps in Man United defense and we have players trying to play keep ball in the corner with 20 mins remaining.

Should use HBA more. He`s an outlet from the pressure.

Shola time
KIMTOON(Quote)
cabage off
shola on
good call percy
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Decent change actually. Cabs in gutted.
Shola can play where he is actually decent and doesn’t have to be mobile. Around the halfway line.

Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Why are players using trickery to waste time instead of passing it about. 👿
Been lucky, but Pards got it spot on today. He even listened to my lineup and formation 😛 Looks like we’ve got the points.
JJ(Quote)
Geordies loving it for a change 😆 😆
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)

Get in, what a result, I’m **** a hoop with that, never thought we’d get that result so really delighted . Well done lads and Pards, it wasn’t pretty but by god I don’t care. 😀
KIMTOON(Quote)
MOTM,
Willo! Had RvP in his pocket!
Sissoko, Remy, Debs, Santon and Tiote were also superb.
JJ(Quote)
Fucking cracking result.
Top performance.
Colo showing why he is still our no.1 defender.
Tiote, well, “you’re just a good Gareth Barry”
Pardew has got plan A in tough games down to a tee, plan B needs work for when we go behind. But I’m sure that will come in time!!
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Pardew > Moyes
matias(Quote)
Absolutely sufukinperb
richietoon(Quote)
Looks like mid-week mistakes from Krul and Pardew were just “curse of the monthly awards”, back to the norm again now eh
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
We were the better team that game and we easily deserved that win.
Debuchy was my motm Though Williamson and Tiote ran him close.
Ben Arfa was good when he came on and kept the ball very well.
Santii(Quote)
Since 1972….last nufc win at old trafford.

JJ , Nah it’s Debbie mate, he shielded a certain goal bound effort that had come of Willo.
KIMTOON(Quote)
Man too many treat performances to list right now. Think I’ll head off for a celebratory cocktail first 😉
MDS(Quote)
Got to be delighted with that!
Johno Toon(Quote)
Manure are busted, long way back for that lot me thinks. Poor Moyes looked petrified at times, talk about a rabbit in headlights. Did I say how much I love lunchtime kick offs 😉
KIMTOON(Quote)
How good is today, Mitch Johnson 7/40 and a 1 nil win over manure.. great day of sport!
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
Unbelievable! Fantastic result. Debuchy and Tiote both amazing today.
Dubai-Toon(Quote)
Fantastic result! Well done Pardew (formerly the FOOL) and the boys.

That Colo still imperious 😎
CC(Quote)
I forgive Pardew for his brain fart at Swansea and scum
he has just written himself into Geordie folklore.
Troy is right, he has learnt from his mistakes
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
That was an amazing team performance and we were well worth the win , 5 wins in the last 6 games . Surely we are in the mix for Europe now Manure ,Spuds and Chelsea beaten that is a list to be proud of 😀 😀 😀
Axel(Quote)
No doubting the Benny factor mind, every time he got on the ball he had 3 on him, he terrifies opo teams and he wasn’t even at his best today.
KIMTOON(Quote)
man enough to admit it was his mistake against swansea
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
If mike ashely decide to change the home jersey to this,
Anyone mind? 😆 😆
