Not sure I'll watch.
Will just be attack Vs defence with the commentators saying how great City are.

They’ll do well to beat us and knock Liverpool out of the Champions League in the space of a week. Either way, it’s losing the game to them that will be disappointing. We lost the league to them months ago.

Typical how it's all aligned perfectly for them. Can we just not turn up? Take the fines, punishments, penalties. Just deny them the satisfaction.

Trophy presentation is the last home game of the season (Chelsea were made to wait until then last year).

But you know how they’ll probably get it delivered by helicopter if they beat United...

If it only had an impact on our players then that's great, but I doubt it. A few posters will no doubt get a kick out of it though.

Most definitely.

I don't mind it. It has been on the cards for months. So what, they'll confirm it against us. As you say I just hope players will take note and make sure they don't see it again next year.

Will City be champions if they win against United? I've no idea tbh, just going with the flow in here

I had a dream last night that we'll beat them 1-0 in a smash and grab affair. The weird part was we were wearing the grey kit.

At least we don't have to go and win there to prevent it.

A draw is more doable.

It's very annoying that this is the 2nd time in 3 years we've had the potential of someone winning the title against us.

Couldn't care less if they win it next week or in 3 weeks time, TBH. If they win next week, hopefully it'll spark something within our squad to never let it happen again.

That equates to you not caring if they beat us then.

Not sure that theory will work with this team. They aren't the SAF team that lost it in the last seconds. It will all depend on the managers attitude. He has to get the summer signing right and remember they will make signings as well. It might just end up maintaining the status quo and not actually make us challengers. I hope City do what City have done in the past and come into the next season complacent. However this is a different manager and a lot of different players.

I expect us to play with pride and for Sane/De Bruyne to be kicked hard

reckon we will win 2-1

Its obviously not nice if they celebrate title after winning against us, but I would like us to give a go at challenging them. Even if that's not the best route to getting something from the game, we could learn crucial lessons for next season which will be all about rising to challenge them for the title.

Not going to happen.
We will approach the game like Jose approaches all big away games.

Right now it's best to approach rather defensively and try to hit them on the brake.

Our biggest bet is to try to finish the game 0-0. Do anything to deny them the satisfaction of winning against us. Hopefully our 4-6-0 formation works to finish off the game 0-0.

If they do seal it against us, Jose and the players need to hang around watching the scenes, and suck it up for coming back stronger next year.

Fortunately I think we have a manager who is bitter and twisted enough to do absolutely everything to ensure that this doesn't happen.
