    Small request @Niall, not super important and just me being a "little bit OCD" (most ridiculous phrase ever invented).

    Could Valencia be moved into the Defenders section for the Prediction game?

    Bit off topic I'm thinking of travelling to Oz again I did the east coast last time and thought it was amazing, I'm considering going back but I want to try Perth this time would you recommend it?

    It's quite isolated isn't it but I don't think that'll be a problem

    I am so confident we will do them I've bet £150 on a -2 Asian Andicap and £250 on -1.75. Bring on the 4-0!

    I would rather start the game with us being underdogs rather than sounding over confident. For this game, I don't care how we play as long as we get the 3 points
    Yea I'm not liking this at all, you can sense something is not right, it seems to good to be true, city being crap, and we being that good in our current form. I'm just hoping VG can make sure it's like another game. Like I say the blue prints of the Liverpool win, was how much people were writing us off

    I've only been here a couple of weeks so can't really give much advice yet.

    It's very different to the east coast. After working in Sydney for 5 months and getting used to the atmosphere there I was in total shock arriving in Perth. We live about a 20min walk from the CBD. We walked down on our first evening and aside from Chinatown which we walk through to get there, the city was totally dead. Like, 5 or 6 people walking around dead.

    That's fine by us, we are more interested in exploring during the day but if you're looking for culture I think you will be disappointed unless you live along the river or down south.

    As I say though we have only been here 2 weeks and have barely started exploring, the beaches are lovely though.

    Well I love everything about australia the couple of times I've been there and Perth is really the one place left to do for me that I'm interested in visiting. Ive done Queensland and NSW already and really enjoyed my time. Tbh I think I would enjoy the quietness as the main problem with the other cities was noise, Sydney especially.

    I stayed at the merriton serviced apartments even though I was near the top floor the noise was constant all night but that's to be expected in such a big city, I think Perth would fit me right from what I've read about it.

    Nice place to stay, dig up the Australia thread if you have any more questions, I'll let you know more about Perth in a few months when I know it better.

    So I'm starting a new job at 6am tomorrow and this one will finish at 12:45am. I'll need to be up for 5am to get there on time giving me 4:15 sleep before my first day....

    Do I watch it live and deal with it tomorrow or avoid it like the plague until I get home tomorrow afternoon and watch it on demand?

    I've got bad memories of the games I watched OD this season, namely Villa away, Southampton, West Ham and Swansea..... But I could really do with making a good impression tomorrow.
    If I was going to avoid the game and then work before watching I don't think I'd be able to sleep. Watch it I say and if we win you'll be flying on your first day. Good luck!

    Draw looks most likely, 1-1. It would be nice to see a bit of justice and see Man Utd get the result their performance deserves for a change (win, lose or draw).
    Just like the deserved wins you picked up against Palace, QPR, Leciester and Newcastle? Yes we need some justice.

    I just get this feeling it will go wrong for us, it's been a mixed bag at OT against our big rivals, Chelsea 1-1 draw, lost 2-1 to arsenal. So while we have done good against the big boys, I feel we still going into this game with this unknown factor about us. While we look like we finally moving forward, it's a game that could go either way. It is very hard to know how we will fair against a team like city, who are well established unlike us currently despite the current form

    I'm confident today. It's a good thing to have that feeling back once again. Looking forward to it.

    We've pretty much got what we deserved this season (except Man Utd at home which was a travesty). You're up there with Spurs in terms of playing shit and getting points - they've got found out of late as their luck ran out.

    Oh yawn.

    This idea has been hugely overplayed this season. Our "lucky" wins have been Arsenal and Southampton away but that is more than offset by undeserved defeats against Swansea (both home and away), Southampton at Old Trafford and that ridiculous Clattenberg-inspired turnaround at Leicester. We were fortunate to get draws at West Ham and Stoke, but conversely unlucky to only draw the Spurs and Burnley away games (where we had two blatant penalties not given). We have played a poor brand of football for much of the season but the results have been about right.

    Play like we did against Spurs and Liverpool and we'll have them on the ropes. They look mentally fragile and we are as strong as we've been post Fergie. Expecting a good performance again and I'll go with a 3-1

    @samuelluckhurst: Unconfirmed, but told Smalling for Rojo the only change for United today from Villa win. That's how #mufc have trained this week.
