Derby Day in Manchester
Ten years ago, this was a match between the two best teams in the land. Before that, it was a Big Club vs a Little Club. Sadly, it is becoming that again..... the wrong way around!!
Usually, I feel that United, no matter what the form, would always give it a good game. After the Liverpool match...not sure about this lot!!

Morning Boys
United playing three at the back again with Bailly, Lindeloff and Maguire
Greenwood comes in for Cavani...I was told Cavani has a knock
Morning, Dave - thanks for getting us going. Great image. I can't wait for this one. Come on, United!
I hate how the media talks about Ronaldo not tracking back, defending or not trying. The "smart", "deep" pundits think it is all his fault that United stink
Morons
I am actually not looking forward to it
I don't like how City play and sadly I don't like the way United play either!
They are all saying how good City are and how poor United are
If United get a win....they are both on 20 points
United and Citeh come into this one 5th and 3rd. A win would bring United level with Citeh going into the international break.
Now they are saying Ronaldo can't play with Greenwood!
Geez
When united are on it, I enjoy the way this team plays. I don't ever like to watch this Citeh team play. The last time I've enjoyed is when Carlos Tevez was playing for them.
That's pure rubbish. They were saying he couldn't play with Bruno before he came - that's obviously not true.
Teams in the tunnel now. Great atmosphere.
Remembrance Sunday moment to come here.
Away we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Come on, United!
Silva with a first shot...well over
Bernie Silva works his way into the United box but then leans back on his shot and blasts into the Stretford End.
Oh dear....we are trying to play out of the back...inside our own box
KNOCK IT OFF
The three numpties already hammering United
Playing out of the box is so snobby.... stuns me that it is allowed
No one up top for United to break with
Ronny is fouled by Gabby out wide left and United have a free kick chance early doors.
Free kick chance.... cross comes in... Maguire should have scored there !
Damn it
Where is his SLABHEAD?
Oh - Slaphead got his head onto it ahead of Dias, but he couldn't quite direct it on goal.
Oh dear - Bailly with an o.g., Sorry, mate. Not a good start.
GET THE BALL OUT!!
United STILL trying and play around in the box!!
City almost score!!
NOW THEY DO!
OG by Bailly
ALL CAME FROM UNITED'S POSSESSION!
Two dangerous balls in there from the wide areas - can't let that happen.
STOP PLAYING AROUND IN YOUR OWN HALF!!!!!!!!
Why does no one say anything!
United have touched the ball ONCE inside the box after ten minutes....the Maguire header
Bailly played well in midweek but he is jinxed when he gets a chance to get some games
City are so boring to watch
Unite are so boring to watch....for a worse reason
KDB tries a ball through to Foden but it's just ahead of him.
United give the ball away AGAIN...inside their own half
It isn't rocket science....don't do that!
Foden buys a foul now out wide left.
Still....not once in the book
Our free kick....give it away again!!
It is just stunning!!!!
The three numpties are talking a lot of crap
The Stretford End wants De Gea to go long and not pass it inside his box....why can they see it and the players can't
United get a free kick...go short...pass around...lose possession
I'd love to be able to turn down the sound of the numpties and still here the crowd...I wish that was an option
20 minuted in... STILL hasn't had any possession inside the box.... a header(almost shoulder) touch and that is it
I don't think OGS will be axed even if it is another Liverpool score
Who would they bring in?
That is so bad from United!!!!
Had the ball...didnt attack....lost the ball...PATHETIC
They should have a "no commentary" option with just the crowd noise.
This is sadly how I thought this match would go
That is so rubbish about playing at home
They are so deep!!
Lee thinks that United are getting "pulverized" by Citeh. But how many actual chances have they created?
United have no idea what to do with the ball going forward...NO IDEA!!
Still haven't put the ball in the box
Ronaldo will score - mark my words. I am Nostrabobus!
STRUTH... I thought that time United would get it in the box
But no!
25 minutes in... not one ball put in the box from open play
FINALLY!!
RONALDO WITH A GREAT VOLLEY
Saved
Come on Greenwood... net the rebound
FINALLY.... TWENTY-SIX MINUTES
Oh - I thought that was the moment! Ronaldo connected really well with that volley. Straight at Ederson, though.
Nostrobobus was almost right there!
FIRST TIME the ball went in the box
Oh - great point blank save by De Gea!
STRUTH...how did City not score there!!
No one in defense...twice!
United TRY to play out from the back... STOP!!
JUST SNOBBY
Ronny is just warming up - mark my words!
STRUTH.... almost another OG
The camera wasn't showing it but United lose the ball again
Oh - another great save by De Gea. He's earned his corn already today.
Another good save by De Gea
De Gea again! He's getting shelled!
Citeh a bit rampant at the moment - United will need to weather this storm.
The new winter ball has showed up....I'm not a fan...too much color
I didn't play De Gea today because I thought he would concede
Oh - Ronaldo through on goal but Ederson saved well with his legs. Offside anyway.
Ronaldo shot taken...saved... should have crossed it
Offside anyway
Did you play Meslier?
Oh no! Bernie Silva slides in at the back post just when I thought that the ball in was drifting out.
Bloody hell...United let the ball go...Silva doubles City's lead
I was about to say that we were lucky it was only one nil
Shaw and Maguire....pathetic!!!
Terrible decision by Shaw to let that one go. Bad time to concede. Sorry, mate.
I played Martinez for Villa
Half time
Useless
Two England men let the ball go across their box
Useless
I thought we were still in this until that !
I am back a bit late for the second half..I was destroying our loo....had nothing to rush back for
Bailly off for Sancho
Bailly always gets the blame....Maguire has been pants again
United haven't scored from a set piece
That continues
We're underway again in the second half. Big mountain to climb.
We've got a group of students coming by shortly for the annual Fall Sweep program where Fredonia students help the neighbors with their leaves before winter. I always get out and help them. It's a nice event that I look forward to every year. So, I'll be running out.
Now Arlo is questioning whether OGS can survive a loss.
Is the weather cooperating?
I think this will be the only match of the day for me. I have to go for walkies and rake more leaves
Oh - Foden somehow gets round the back again. What is Lindelof doing?
Such a shame it wasn't still 1-0 and United could tie it up with a shot off somebody's bum
DVDB warming up...but so is everyone else
Come on, United - one back and it's game on!
What a wasted free kick!!!
CLUELESS
Citeh are sitting back now - it's time for United to strike!
I agree with Dixon there....take them on!!!
Fred....why can't he pass!!
Citeh just playing keep away now - really boring.
So glad I didn't go to Old Trafford this season!!!
United win the ball....horrible pass...give it back again
One goal back...come on, United!
Rash is going to be introduced shortly - but for whom? Greenwood?
I am not upset with United wining titles...My entire time in England I was used to it... I just want them to play attacking entertaining football
I would say Greenwood
Of course DVDB won't get a look in
Rash on for Greeny
What is Marcus going to do today....Back pass to Foden running on to goal
That makes sense. That's the way that I want Leeds to be playing, as well, even if we get turned over by the bigger teams.
Is there concussion substitution that doesn't count as one of the three
Looks like he is staying on
Shaw is coming off for treatment after a clash.
Shaw will be coming off
That's it for United's changes
Alex Teles is going to come on after all. Shaw can't continue.
More pressure from Citeh but KDB shanks his volley wide.
As they earlier....THREE touches of the ball inside the box for United....that is PATHETIC!!!
Pep the actor..your team is strolling it....let me make a show of coaching on the side line
Another rubbish cross by Obiwan
Then Telles can't beat the defender
There you go, Dave - VDV coming on for a rare cameo.
They can make another change
DVDB gets a huge ovation....
That is their fourth change
The Shaw change was concussion protocol, apparently.
He will triple his playing time at OT!
Oh - Foden was through there but could only find the outside of the post.
DVDB try to go forward...bad pass... Foden hits the post
Ronaldo doesn't get the ball...Arlo says that he's on his heals...they love to pick that out
Keane.....half time....I cannot understand the defending!! These are international defenders!! I give up!!
Stones almost adds to City's goal tally
Just wide
That will be a penalty....SO INCONSISTENT!!!
VAR drives me nuts
VAR makes no sense!!
Shame that that Ronaldo volley didn't fly in - it would have changed the complexion of this match.
Disrespectful from the Citeh mob.
4 added minutes
United have showed no urgency during the whole match.... absolutely rubbish
How many shots have United had?
5 shots...1 on target
So far at Old Trafford vs Liverpool and City
United 0
Them 7
Brilliant!!
United will stay in fifth for the moment but Arsenal will have the chance to leap over them with a win against Watford. Wolves also have a match against Palace, who are in poor form.
Some of the games they are showing on NBC proper is nuts
Not really showing the best of the best
Newcastle vs Brighton....who will be watching that apart from the devoted
Palace aren't in poor form...they have been playing well and just won at the Etihad
That is
All City
United are rubbish!!!
I agree - not really a marquee match-up.
I've got a virtual conference talk at 1pm this afternoon, so I can't watch.
That is it from me
I will be around for your lot tomorrow
TTFN
Sorry, mate - not your day.
The Fall Sweepers are here - so I'm off to help them out. Back in a tick.
I'm back from the Fall Sweep activities and watching the Palace v. Wolves match on the box. A draw is probably the best result for both of our teams. That would put Wolves level on points but behind United on 17 points and Palace on 13 points.
Lovely! Kai Havertz has opened the scoring against Burnley. I'm looking for a tennis score in that one.
Not such great news is that Norwich are 0-2 up at Brentford, who have lost the last five. A draw is probably the best score for us in that one. That would put Norwich on 3 points and Brentford on 11.
Norwich are off the bottom of the table at least temporarily. Newcastle on the bottom and Burnley third bottom on 7 points. It's making me nervous!
