A good hiding is the order of the day here. I know a fair few decent Sunderland fans and there's a few decent lads on here but I really don't like Gus Poyet so sorry, hope it's an absolute tonking in United's favour.

Are the pies and hotdogs in Old Trafford halal or non-halal zerks?

Yea, **** Sunderland.

Sunderland are usually decent for taking points from City. Useless this season but I'd keep them around.

^^You could say the same about Utd!

Rooney reported to be out and if Van Persie plays he won't be anywhere near match fit (although still a huge threat). It's shaping up to be good for Sunderland on paper, but with the Giggs factor still in play I wouldn't be too confident of getting anything.

3 points would see us almost safe, though anything at all from this match would be a massive bonus and won't be a game which defines whether we stay up or not. Those will be home games to West Brom during the week and Swansea next weekend. I'd be ecstatic with a point but I feel we'll lose by one. 2-1 United.

On another note I have seen lots of kids posting about how this is some big revenge game (compiling revenge posters etc) for United due to City winning the league in 2011-2012 and a section of Sunderland fans baiting them. Very strange.

Any excuse to post this, cracking video of the penalty shootout from our last visit to Old Trafford in January. Am American recorded it, perfect quality and shows the fans emotions really well. Crank it up to the HD setting:

Team I think will start tomorrow given injuries are accurate.
De Gea
Jones. Rio. Vidic. Evra.
Tony V. Carrick Fletcher. Januzai.
Mata
Wellbeck.
Think Januzai will get a run as Giggs may be a father figure to him,god knows the randy divil may even be his dad;)

Sunderland on a run of 3 excellent results. United have nothing to play for, wouldn't be surprised at a Sunderland win.

2-2

Nani looks sharp enough, frustrating at times but rather watch him try make something than Tony Young do nothing

Shane.C

Nice to see Carrick passing the ball forward, and getting himself into attacking positions!

double GG

Young's crossing today hasn't been bad, 2 or 3 good balls in

mike65

Carrick yellow on Borini (hey leave him alone!)

mike65

GET THE **** IN! (Sunderland fan until they are safe!)

Professional Griefer

heh

Sugarlumps

Sweet finish.

double GG

That was coming in the last 15 minutes

redbaron_99

Moyes out

Chagan

Giggs out.

At what point this season are our CBs going to pick up players coming into the box?

IvySlayer

Giggs out!!!!

Liam O

Moyes' fault

double GG

Carrick standing wactching Larsson walk past him

Huge goal from Sunderland

Guy:Incognito

Van Gaal out!!!

Liam O

Great to see the formidable Evra-Young axis on the left.

kingshankly

If only Ferdinand could defend like jagielka

Sugarlumps

So sluggish from Utd.

aramush

#GiggsIN

Agueroooo

Moyesball is back!

How many crosses is that now?

Sunderland looking disciplined

Lord TSC

Young is doing well getting round players, but is useless doing anything after that...

mike65

Utd problem is that Spurs lost, so if Utd win they could end up in the Europa League - ergo Utd need to match Spurs today and next week.

Lucas Hood

No tempo to uniteds play at all. Get Rvp on at half time.

This formation would also work better if Nani had played more than once or twice this year, he looks a bit lost, but then again, given how isolated everyone is and only him and Mata capable of producing something out of nothing.

Lord TSC

carrack looks like he has gone on holidays already

Lord TSC

Two nice crosses from chic. Shame no one there to get on the end of them.

double GG

And still no sign of any fight when we go behind.

Liam O

Webb is such a shìt ref.

Lord TSC

Carrick is a liability today, Fletcher looks lost, Young's final ball is useless. Nani, Mata and Hernadez need more support.

Nolars

Looks like they aint playing for Giggs now.... oh wait they are just pure muck half of em...
