be tough game, City usually are up for it.
Shaun Midget Phillips might be back for them
I fancy Berbatov to get a couple

2-0 win
Cmon lads - a win here would be excellent.
A win here and all we need is 4 points in 3 matches.
My line-up would be:
----------Vds--------
O'shea-Rio-Vidic-Evra
-----Carrick-Scholes--
Ronaldo--Giggs-Rooney-
--------Berbatov-------
I like your match day threads by the way Maciek, nice graphics.

West Ham to take summet vs Liverpool on Sat
4-1 win for us in the Derby
3-0 win at Wiggers on Weds to win the title
4-1 win for us in the Derby
3-0 win at Wiggers on Weds to win the title
I'd go with that but give Rooney a rest for sure. Tevez to start
Don't think we should rest anyone as they have 4 days off before this game. We need to start with a full team, finish it off quickly and then bring on the subs. City will be up to spoil our parade.

Will be one hell of a derby, since they would love to piss in our parade, as evident from last year's encounter. But we'll come through. The spirit is as high as it can get in our camp right now.
3-0. Ronaldo, Berbatov, Giggs.

Citeh in some form but our confidence is sky high, hopefully SAF wont fart about with rotation and put the strongest team out. Rooney Ronny and Tevez up front for me
Lads, giggs needs a rest. In the last three games hes played:
30 minutes against Arsenal in the 1st leg
90 minutes against Middlesbrough
30 minutes against Arsenal in the 2nd leg
That's a total of 150 minutes football in a week. 2 and a half hours top level football for a 35 year old is pushing it. Scholes didn't play tonight so he's more likely to play than Giggs

What a huge game this could be on our way to the 18th title! In case West Ham can do us a favour we could seal the title with two wins over City and Wigan, and therefore it's essential Fergie keeps the lads focused. Another professional performance is required to beat those blue cnuts and I have very little doubts our lads will be up for it.
Can't wait for Sunday!

It's a derby, Rooney will play! I'd rather want him to be rested on Wednesday at Wigan.
why is Berbatov in a lot of your teams? to keep our goal to shot ratio down? Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime
I reckon we may see all of our Fab 4 on sunday... with Anderson Carrick/Fletcher holding and Berba just a head of them linking the midfield to our 3 attackers

We have to rest some of these players on Sunday and rest of them on Wednesday to play Arsenal at Old Trafford with this team!
Got to get Tevez and Berbatov involved this match. I have a funny feeling we're going to start with the team that started the 2nd half against Spurs.
We'll go out to break City.

nah, strongest team possible please. we need the 3 points against City.
those feckers will be up for it so we'll have to be on our guard.

If we win this, the title is ours. I firmly believe that. After Liverpool play West Ham (which is not an easy game to win), we play 3 games in a row, starting here. Even if Liverpool beat West Ham, 3 wins from our 3 games before their next confirms us as champions, as does 2 wins and a draw. It is good that we get to see Liverpool play first. If they drop points, we can be champions within two games.
Can't wait for this. I think we'll be buzzing after yesterday.

Even if Liverpool beat West Ham, should we beat Citeh and Wigan well be 6 points clear with two games left
Watch them squirm then

Sorry, but Liverpool will destroy West Ham, making this a must win. That said, City are pretty shit this year, and I believe we can beat them if SAF rotates well and gets the tactics right
City's best season in a long time in my opinion.
I think the Westham game is Liverpool toughest remaining fixture.

Can't believe how many of you leaving out Rooney! Would you rather want him to play against Wigan than our bitter local rivals? His passion and desire is made for these types of matches.
I would not leave Rooney out for this, no chance.

Ronaldo need to play, he was rested at Riverside on Saturday so I don't know why you think he should sit on the bench.
Any news about Michael Ball? Is he injuried or doesn't make first eleven?
I would like to see Ronaldo laughing at him after he scores.
I'm getting pissed off with saying this before every derby - but it's about feckin time we gave em a feckin good seeing to.
Three points will do though.

Three points is three points, I want them badly.
