    Finally...a 3PM, Saturday kick off.
    We shall play our game while other teams play theirs.
     
    Was worried after the Liverpool match but the closer to KO it gets the more confident I'm becoming.

    Stoke always tend to raise their game against us but think we've got enough about us to see this one through. They're not the physical team they once were, and even if they were we have the size and character to match them.

    We've got so many options I think it'll be similar to the WBA game, making a very tricky game relatively comfortable.
     
    Another big game. With City playing an in form Spurs this weekend a win could see us leapfrog them into 5th if they lose.
     
    Not expecting much from this. We've only won 2 of the last 6 against Stoke. Draw at best.
     
    I feel this is a big game for us. Since Fergie, mentally we've been quite weak. We lose one and players heads visibly drop. The City game at home is a good example of this.

    I'd hope our unbeaten run and the introduction of winners like Zlatan and Pogba have made us a bit stronger. Deal with a setback like the draw against Liverpool.

    But tomorrow's a big test, at a ground we haven't won at in 3 seasons iirc.
     
    Zlatan will enjoy the wind in his favour, while jones and rojo will hate it against them. :D Smalling could also get a nod ahead of any one of them.
     
    Worried, historically we've never done well in 3 o clock kick offs.
     
    This was one of those games in October we created so much chances but couldn't kill the game off. It's time we set things straight and them that was an error.
     
    Feels like we haven't played in ages. Maybe it's because I've purposefully tried to forget our last game. I can't wait for this.

    Sorry this deserves :lol::lol::lol: , the titles and FA Cup we have won over the years would say the complete opposite.

    I know that post is superstitious but it does always feel that every time I'm scrabbling around for a dodgy stream, United are churning out a shitfest, trying to break down some awful side. Doubly adding to my frustration!

    The two must be related!

    Lmao, exactly the same for me!

    The only time I wasn't chasing a stream (was at a bday party) we smashed Swansea.
     
    I'm back in full pessimistic mode and don't expect us to get anything from this.
     
    I'm worried about this. Hate playing Stoke

    That's because you've basically described 95% of United games since Sir Alex left.
     
    Will be a tough game but i am predicting a win for us. Stoke's back 4 is awful and everyone here seems to be overlooking this. If our front 4 click, we should win this handy. 1-3.

    I've gone for a 3:0 win for us, with how we've been playing I think Stoke might be a push over.

    We played pretty shit against Pool.

    Anyway there have been very few 'push overs' for us this season, especially on the road. We haven't been like the other top teams in that regard. We've had to work very hard for the majority of our wins due to the lack of goals in the side. An easy 3-0 win is pretty optimistic, though I hope you're right.

    Got to be optimistic these days, anytime i'm not I miss the good stuff.
     
    Fellaini in for Carrick is the only change I can see Mourinho being tempted by.

    Although this is no Pulis Stoke, they do still have 2 whopping centre backs, Crouch and a couple of others to take care of in the air.
     
    I wish Shaw would get his shit together, or that we bring in a new LB soon. I'm so tired of Darmian stumbling about before inevitably turning on to his right foot. Should be a straight forward win nonetheless

    Ah. That makes sense. I don't think it's happened before, though. Either that or I spent last season missing a shit-load of 3pm games I could have been watching!

    Ireland have had 3pm games for years. It was setanta for a long time including last season but sky bought the rights for Ireland

    I don't miss watching setanta
