Are they fucking thick or what.

The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth
its quite ironic, all the foxes owners need to do is grease the wheels with a little tea money, just a sip
How shit is it without any proper football?
Next weekend, it will have been one month since I last saw United play in the Premier League in our annual demolition at OT of the soft southern ponces from the Highbury library.
Looking forward to this one. No idea which way it will go.
i can see us losing this, its the Arteta script
One of my pals is Spurs and he hates this fixture. He is never ever confident (and with good reason).
^ its been a lottery and i've been following 102 of them
Easy win in the end, nammers.
Enjoy the day with your daughter, the wine, the music...and the 3 points.
^ cheers Hal, i am. she wants to go out and have a few, which is ok Trouble is before she settled down she was a proper chip off the old block, she's quiet by nature but she'd properly hang one on occasionally and i think today could be one as she's got a weekend off the winks. Strap in
Nice to see the City B team going from strength to strength!
Lump on a Haaland hatric tomorrow
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Manchester City could win three consecutive league games against United for the first time since a run of four between April 2013 and November 2014.
United are in danger of suffering their 18th Premier League loss against City - it would equal their highest number of defeats against a specific opponent (matching their totals against Liverpool and Chelsea).
This Premier League fixture has been won 21 times by the respective away side - no other match has produced more victories for the away team.
Manchester City
Manchester City could win eight consecutive top-flight home games whilst scoring at least three times in each victory - a feat last achieved by Tottenham in 1965.
City have scored 10 first-half goals and 13 second-half goals in the Premier League this season - Manchester United have eight in total.
Erling Haaland has netted 100 goals in 99 club appearances in all competitions, including 12 goals in seven games for City. He has scored from each of his last six Premier League shots on target at the Etihad.
Kevin de Bruyne has registered six assists and 25 chances created, both league highs. He has been directly involved in 30 goals in his last 30 Premier League starts, scoring 16 and assisting 14.
Pep Guardiola has lost three out of four Premier League games against the Red Devils at the Etihad Stadium. They are the only opponent against whom he has lost more than two top-flight home matches as a manager.
Ruben Dias is one short of 100 City appearances.
Manchester United
Manchester United could become the fourth team in English top-flight history to lose their opening two games then win their next five, emulating Sheffield United (1931), West Bromwich Albion (1954) and Arsenal (2018).
United last won five consecutive league matches in April 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
This will be Erik ten Hag's first Manchester derby - each of the five United's previous five managers have lost their opening league fixture against City, with Alex Ferguson the last to begin with a win in 1987.
Ten Hag won eight of his nine league and cup matches as Ajax manager against historic rivals Feyenoord - a match known as De Klassieker in the Netherlands.
The Red Devils have conceded a league-high share 75% of their goals in the opening 45 minutes this term.
Cristiano Ronaldo can make five consecutive league appearances as a substitute for the first time since 2003, during his breakthrough season at Sporting Lisbon.
The forward has 699 career club goals in all competitions, including 497 in the league, and has registered four goals and two red cards in 12 competitive Manchester derbies.
Christian Eriksen is one short of 400 career league appearances.
My prediction
6-1
Shalom
Form means fuck all going into this derby. It's an absolute leveller, and you kind of go in hoping for the best, even though you know you're the better team.
I remember being in Phuket a few years back and there was this. It was a fucking nightmare.
The Tottenham side were absolute shite going into that game, although in fairness we had Pascal Cygan.
