City just making up the numbers

[Michael Morris]

I hope we don't give Man Utd the result that they and the rest of the world are expecting.

I would have preferred to still see Mourinho in charge today with his bunch of moody players but now he's gone, happy chappy Solskjaer is in and it seems (according to most if not all of the media) that they are going to come out like a team possessed and fulfil all their potential with free flowing, goalscoring football and we will just get blown away.

No one has considered Cardiff City a worthy opponent. We get a mention of having a decent home record and a passionate atmosphere but it's all about United and what they are going to do.

Let's make this our day and hopefully, come 7:30pm, the world will realise there are actually two teams involved and United can't have it all their own way.

Hear hear

Hear hear

Ray Parlour quoted yesterday we would have a mullering, lets hope hes as good as Chris Sutton with his forecasting

[Gofer Blue]

Well we did it against Man City last time around in the PL and almost against Man Utd (Rooney should have been sent off and then the result might have been different!).

[life on mars]

I'm gutted I was planning on insulting badly , if I could get to him .

[bobh]

I wonder if we actually gety mentioned on MOTD.

[sneggyblubird]

I wonder if we actually gety mentioned on MOTD.

Probably be reported as Ole's first open training session.

C'mon boys.I hope we really get into um.

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

let's hope..last week our tackling was non existent

[Organ Morgan.]

The line being pushed is the Man Utd squad are world beaters in waiting and it was only Mourinho's gloomy and inhibiting stewardship that hindered them from fulfilling their potential greatness.

Got a horrible feeling that the City will be too wound up and we could be looking at a flurry of cards for silly and very unnecessary matters.
The script, as far as the football world outside the CF post code is concerned, is one of a glorious and free flowing United headed by Pogba & Sanchez tearing us a new one.
In fairness, something like that will probably happen but in a Keeganesque manner I would love it if we could win this one.
Even better ,as it is Man Utd, there is no trouble in finding a bar that is showing the match and most of the game falls into the happy hour (s) beloved over here.

I think Mourinho leaving has greatly reduced our chances of winning, but Ole will not have been able to transform the worst Manchester United defence I've seen in ages into something special in the space of a couple of days (not sure he'd be able to do that in a couple of years judging by his time with us), so I still have some of my pre sacking optimism left.

Win, lose or draw, Manchester United are going to be the focus today - if they were to lose, I'd be willing to bet that the pundits would be slaughtering their players for not raising their game after getting what many of them wanted rather than giving us much credit.

I think Man United had about 3,500 fans tonight.
The rumour is that almost 250 were from Manchester.
I even saw one flag saying “Barnsley reds” !!!

[Michael Morris]

So in the end we did just make up the numbers. Disappointing.

Wherever they were from they did not stop singing. They sang loud all game and never mentioned us at all. No songs towards us, nothing England related to wind us up- can’t be faulted really.

They were singing in Sloper Road after the game, then some wag shouted
"That's enough lads, now get back to London!"

I agree, (as much as I hate to) 90+ minutes of supportive songs, no anti-Cardiff, a bit of anti scouse, best away noise since ccs opened

For me United have always had the best and most vocal away support in the country

Not even sure we did that.
