Apart from the penalties for playing an ineligible player, he makes an amusing point.

Defend, defend , defend is the way to go.
Couldn't give a crap what the pundits want.
I want a Jose classic.

I'm actually feeling pretty good about this game. City have looked beatable in recent weeks, and we are looking pretty solid at the moment. Hard fought 2-1 win.

Losing Pogba is just such a huge blow. He's so important, even moreso when we need to break quickly and he can drive forward and pick out a perfect pass. Really gutting we lost him at a time when City are starting to seem vulnerable; would have made it a lot easier to exploit that vulnerability (though I'm not saying we can't still do that).

Can't understate how big a miss Pogba is. With him I'd really fancy us to win this with how shaky they've looked lately. Without him I'm inclined to accept a draw just to make sure they don't pull further away, he's that important to us. Having said that I definitely think we can beat them without him but we need last season's Herrera to show up, I know he doesn't do what Pogba does but he's an excellent midfielder when on top form and he needs to re find that form.
Other than Pogba missing it has to be the same team that started Vs Arsenal for me, unless one of the centre backs recover, which is unlikely.
It will be interesting to see City's approach. I know they've just attacked everyone this season but I think they might be a little more cautious against us as we're a better team than last season, very good on the counter and unlike the teams they've come back against lately, can actually defend a lead. Can see this being a rather tense, tight game with few goals.
We win 1-0.

But it's gonna be Eleventy - Nil |

TBF, we could do worse than look at how LVG beat this lot on their own patch...

I'm confident we beat this lot and it will be 2 points gap by Christmas. They've looked a bit weaker last few games , with late goals against really shit opposition and we have been clicking.

2bh Im more pissed at the fact Oliver is Reffing the game than Pogba being out for it.
Sterling will use all of his knowledge of deliberately kissing the grass which will inevitably win them a penalty because Oliver is an incompetent arsecandle.
Failing that he will send off one of our players for doing something as shocking as making any form of physical contact in a contact sport.
Either way I can see that fucking moon unit playing his part in it. Still more than capable of beating 12 men without Pogba though.

I have every faith they'll revert to type despite the dip in form. We need the likes of Herrera to be in beast mode. |

Manchester United have risked antagonising Manchester City before Sunday’s derby by blocking their rivals’ request to bring their own camera crew into the away dressing room at Old Trafford. Pep Guardiola’s squad are being shadowed by cameras from Amazon throughout the season after the club signed a £10 million deal with the company to produce a behind-the-scenes documentary of their campaign, which will be available on Amazon Prime next summer. City are understood to have made a formal request to United and the Premier League for the Amazon crew to be given access to the tunnel area and away dressing room at Old Trafford, but it has been denied. United claim there is insufficient space to accommodate the cameras as they will already be hosting 23 rights-holders, although the tunnel area at Old Trafford is bigger than at other Premier League clubs who have already granted City access. City have been given permission for a pitch-side camera to film the players warming up, but Amazon will be denied fly-on-the-wall footage of the biggest game of the season so far for Guardiola’s team. The Premier League is aware of the dispute, but insists it is a matter for the host club. United’s stance will be welcomed by the Premier League’s existing rights-holders, including Sky Sports and BT Sport, who have privately expressed irritation at the access City are granting to a commercial rival. The British broadcasters paid £5.1 billion to secure the live domestic rights for the Premier League between 2016 and 2019, but that deal does not give them any access to the club’s dressing rooms, while other filming opportunities are restricted. Amazon have taken steps into sports broadcasting this year, winning the rights to show the US Open tennis and ATP Tour, and there is concern among the established broadcasters that they may bid for the next round of Premier League rights, from 2019 to 2022. That tender process is now open, with a decision expected in February. Regardless, it would be so much sweeter if Amazon had to produce a documentary on a side that finished second and didn't win any cups |

The final scene is his first press conference in Paris, insisting that he went there for the history and the £600m transfer budget was not a factor. |
