Pissed off that Hernandez won't return to Manchester until approx. 10am on Friday.
It's not too much of an issue. He was only ever likely to feature from the bench if at all.

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.

I think we are going to trash them. Come on, United.
I hate posts like this!!!!
Sorry! I really admire people's confidence, especially on the Internet but I never ever go in to the games with our rivals with any ounce of confidence as there is never, ever any way to predict what will happen.
I am so thankful that I am out of the country until the morning of the game and can therefore mss a lot of the build up, which ultimately makes me very, very nervous
draw lads...
they will be set up not to lose.

I'm not a United player and not married to them, so in the great scheme of things it won't matter whether I have faith or not - if we lose, we'll lose and if we win, we'll win, my posts won't change anything.

S'pose!! Just can;t bring myself to be that confident. For some reason, it makes the victories that little bit sweeter to me but on the flip side, makes the defeats more bitter.
Surely United is a good enough team to beat a team that does that against them at home.
Hopefully Fergie sets us up to get some goals but not to conceed them at the other end.
I know where you're coming from, but we do have every reason to be confident. In terms of home games, not only this season but for donkey's years, our record has on the whole been excellent. Yes we could lose (Liverpool in 2009 as an example), but we are far more likely to win.
Doesn't mean I don't feel exactly the same as you mind...
If he doesn't train he's not guaranteed to make the squad.
Still think Fergie will throw him in though.
Maybe that's been his secret all this time
48 hours to kick-off.
Line ups?
Ben Hibbs: van der Sar; Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs; Rooney
Me: VDS, Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Scholes, Carrick, Ando, Park: Berbatov
(with Rooney, Owen, Giggs, Fletcher, Evans, Brown, Kuszczak on the bench).
Nothing like a fired up Rooney coming off the bench to save the day.
It will be interesting to see how Mancini approaches this match, this is City's chance to close the gap instead of hoping someone does it for them.
Just been thinking the same. He might benefit from taking a more positive attacking approach than he usually does, he certainly has the players for it.
Pumped.
City will play very deep and look to counter, I can see this being as boring as a derby can be.
I will not be happy with a draw,we are at home for feck sakes, we should go all out for win......
Don't think I've been more excited for a game this season
time to shut these lousy neighbours the feck up

What are Rio's chances for this one?
Very doubtful unfortunately. I would feel much happier about this game if he was playing.
I have a very sneaky feeling that Sir Alex will leave Rooney on the bench for this. It could be Berbatov alone upfront with Nani and Giggs roaming around him. Carrick, Fletch and Scholes in a midfield 3
If we do that i'd like Anderson to play.
I have a feeling Rio will play, something suspicious on his twitter earlier...
hope so
Spill the beans...
Have we won a 12.45 kickoff this season?
West Brom away? Not certain on the KO time.
It's the use of we, makes it seem like he's involved, could be nothing mind.
This is our first home game this season that kicks off at 12:45PM - the matches we played away from home at that time, were Everton (3-3), Aston Villa (2-2) & West Brom (2-1).
It's so much sweeter if our veteran players à la Giggs and Scholes are to score 2-0 without resorting to the bench! And no goal from the traitor please.
Which team do you support?
2-0....I was hoping for a bigger win than that.
Giggs and Owen will be joining Rooney on the pitch so we'll score plenty.

That's the spirit! Hope our players are all geared up for it!! Come on United!!!!!
have a feeling that Rooney will start in 451, however if Fergie decides to go 451 and leave Rooney on bench that is a big statement. We might play both to keep them happy
