This is our cup final. We missed out on the FA's one so we had better do everything we can to win this game.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Derby play Chelsea tomorrow and they have to play us with just two days break between the games.
Maybe this will turn into a nightmare week for them
Imagine what's going through the head of the Derby players.. to know you're gonna lose anyway, that you got no chance. It must suck.
Ha Way the lads
I mean come on United

I hope Ronaldo breaks all sorts of record in this game.
Best's record for most goals as a winger,
Cole's record for most goals in a PL game,
etc

It won't be a rollover of those proportions. See the game at OT this season vs Derby.
Set up perfectly for a whoooooooping, lets hope it transpires.
1-0 seems the most likely scoreline, but to who?
We stop at 4.

Park deserves a midfield berth. Has been excekllent whenever e's started this season. Hargrevaes will be useless against the likes of Derby so he will not even feature on bench. Comfortable 3-1 win for us with goals from Scholes 2, Giggs

How witty and original.
You have to either laugh or cry. I prefer the former.
Whatever line up we put on saturday we should win the game.
I wont say 6-0 but hope for a good win.

I was just copying what you said to me in another thread. Its all good.
That team looks probably about right but I'm wondering will he go one step further and give the likes of Pique a chance. Even if the run-in is here you just never know with Fergie.
Any team should be good enough though and hopefully Saha plays and scores one or two giving him confidence.
Please.
Did I ?
Sorry if it pissed you off, I don't hold grudges though. I can barely remember what I had for dinner, let alone what I said to who on an internet forum.
No, of course not. I only told you now thinking you might have been. It was in the Tevez v Adebayor thread where I said Torres.
lol
I predict a hard match now. They rolled over and died for Chelsea so the game against us will probably be their world cup final.
Did you see how they played dead against Chelsea?
3-0. Ronaldo, Ronaldo and Rooney.
hoping that Ronaldo grabs a few to add to his tally. I'd like to see him pick up the top scorer award in the premiership.

Blatantly saving themselves
We should rip them to pieces. I dont like to see using "game rasing cnuts" and such phrases, we are better by a huge margin, make it count.
Hattrick for Ronaldo and the record is beaten.
Come on Ron!
Come on Ron!
I hope the players just aim to secure the 3 points, and take the goals as they come.
As we saw last weekend, we are well capable of missing the chances presented to us. I assume it won't be a full strength team we will put out as Fergie will have an eye on the Bolton game which could be tricky.
We will surely win this, but with the finishing we showed last week, and the fact that all teams raise their game when United come to town, will probably mean it's not the blowout many are expecting.

They need to go there and score goals. That's all.
Defence is outstanding, Midfield is deep and strong. They just need to score a first goal... after that, it's going to be a lot easier for them.

I prefer Carrick and Scholes playing together against Derby but i won't mind to see Anderson playing with Carrick.
Back to the topic.
Should we draw this game? I don't think we will lose or draw against Derby. In addition, I didn't know that they will play against Chelsea last night;
they learned an experience from CHELSKI.I expect from us the same score line.
line-up?
I agree except no Saha and put Rooney.. He seems to be getting more frustrated so we need him to have a great game and bust in a few goals.
Totally agree with starting Park. I was of the opinion he should of started last weekend. He balances out Ronaldo better then Nani. But that was last week no need to bring it up...
There's no need to worry, Derby are dead in the water and wont be bouncing back from what Chelsea did to them. Time to rest Ronaldo maybe bring him on in the 70th minute but we're still in two major competitions and need to rest when we can.

Your gonna keep jinxing him till the end of the season then?
For me ronaldo must play,hopefully he can increase his goal tally aswell and also ji sung park is a must. His movement and intelligence have been a key ingredient to us and when hes played we have pulled out some fantastic performances. He may not have had as much end product as last season but he hasnt played the games.
He is still ahead of nani in my book, nani loses the ball too much in key areas although his assist do speak for themselves. Park is brilliant and his presence on the pitch also gets the best out of others, I hope he starts.

For the sake of our fantasy leagues Ronaldo has to play. After he scores a few sub him off.
Having been utterly dicked by Chelsea they're not going to want to get humiliated again. We're better than them by a huge margin but Chelsea were better than Barnsley and lost.
