I just hope we do our jobs and at least make it so their first PL win is by goal difference only.
Sunderland vs. Manchester United
- Thread starter VidaRed
- Start date
Come on QPR
It's like a cup game so it's not exactly a foregone conclusion or anything. .
Balotelli is on the bench for City, we still have a chance.
We'd have a better chance if he started.
Sunderland:
Mignolet; O’Shea (C), Bardsley, Bramble, Turner; Gardner, McClean, Colback, Vaughan, Sessegnon; Campbell.

Still no line-up?
Lineup (according to Sunderland official twitter):
De Gea, Jones, Evra (C), Ferdinand, Evans, Valencia, Young, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney.
Evans
Curveball from Fergie.

Giggs...well, let's hope he plays a lot better than last week!
Subs: Owen, Berbatov, Park, Chicharito, Nani, Rafael, Amos.
Giggs and Scholes together... yeah, that worked fine last time as well.
Though this is a meaningless game anyway.

Ah well, lets hope they do the job.
Jones at RB again, Giggs and Scholes together, Rooney up front alone 
Could be worse, mind. Pleased to see Owen on the bench.

Would quite like to see Berbatov come on once City are 3-0 up
No midfielders on the bench, is Cleverley injured again?
Again you have to ask yourself, why aren't we playing our best team available?
No Cleverley on the bench is odd.
1 striker?
"Hughes has never lost as a visiting manager at the City of Manchester Stadium."
Well, there goes our chances at winning the title with Giggs in the middle. nani on the bench yet again?
3 strikers on the bench? I'd have preferred us trying Young off Rooney and Nani wide rather than Giggs playing.
De Gea, Jones, Evra (C), Ferdinand, Evans, Valencia, Young, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney.
Subs: Owen, Berbatov, Park, Chicharito, Nani, Rafael, Amos.
SAF: " Evans is out for season, but Welbeck will be ready for Sunderland".
Nani droped once again, ffs Fergie.

Slow midfield, I was hoping Cleverley would play.
Me too.
Why is Rafael still not starting? I really don't understand that at all.
Yeah I dunno why we couldn't have tried clev or nani in the middle over Giggs, if we're gonna be banking on clev in the future/ know Nani is one of our key players it'd be good to see how they all do in a tough game where we have to win.
It's possible Nani has a knock...it's not always a straight forward selection. We have to trust the team that's put out. An early goal is very much welcome
Because he made a mistake, it's all his fault we conceded 4 goals against Everton so Fergie is punishing him. Don't expect to see him play again this season...
Yay Giggs. Just what we need away from home. 1-1. City will smash QPR 6-0. feck off.
Oh well .Maybe need to revise that scoreline. 1-2.Saf as given up despite all the talk.
If there's one thing I've learned from Utd it's it ain't over till it's feckin over. Us to snatch an injury time winner and them to concede an injury time equaliser :-!
Disagree. We need to win this. If only to piss on City's thunder that they only won it by goal difference despite our injuries and lack of midfield reinforcement. And despite them spending close to a billion quid.
Hopefully it's a send off game for Giggs.
