Manchester United v Middlesbrough

Doesnt matter how shite Boro are performing, they are a weird team

When you look at their results and their position on the table you may think it will be easy but everytime we played them its a fecking tough game

Our last results against them

Boro 1-2 United League
Boro 2-2 United Fa Cup
United 1-0 Boro Fa Cup
United 1-1 Boro League
 
They up their game because it's a derby to them, a local thing. Unless they come with a defensive plan, United will start off where they are from kievv. Will the hectic schedule affect the players' performance?

Worst fixture of the year.

Years since we fecking beat this shower in the league at home.

Not expecting much from us. Hard to be positive after a decade of shite results in this fixture.
 
Last 6 league meetings at Old Trafford vs Boro:

01-02 0-1
02-03 1-0
03-04 2-3
04-05 1-1
05-06 0-0
06-07 1-1

Last year 1-1 (I've rarely felt as sick after a game...thank feck Newcastle did us a favour next day
0-0 - Meaningless end of season - Ruud missed pen
1-1 Alan smith late equaliser - boro had a team of kids on
2-3 - The smallest man on the planet scored 2 headed goals
1-0 - Ruud pen wins it
0-1 - Big part in us not winning the league
1-0? - Think boro might have been relegated cant remember these 2 fixtures
1-0?
2-3 - Our last loss in the treble season - at crimbo
 
Got to miss the game - working this pm - another empty seat at OT. :(

Hope Hargreaves gets some game-time, we don't pick up any injuries, and we get a win (any will do tbh.)
 
Gareth Southgate in attempt at gayest football quote of all time;

Bignose said:
I remember, before we beat Chelsea a couple of years ago, I said that if we can put a man on the moon we can beat Chelsea.

If you believe they put a man on the moon then anything is possible and I maintain that going into this game.
 
when the game start exactly GMT, we changed the clock in jordan, did u do the same in england ?
 
With news that Hargreaves may be paired with Anderson,and with a high probability of nani and tevez starting it'll be the first time all four of our new signings will play together. :D

They all started against Sunderland if I remember correctly.
