It really is the Greatest Derby on Earth at lunchtime, as Flopp’s brave, brave boys run really hard and Jose’s £400m marvels punt it up to their big striker for ninety minutes.
Elsewhere, City due their three-monthly brainfart, against Les Hughes’ vastly underated charges. Injuries mounting and our poor players must be very tired after having to spend last week flying around the world. Plus, ooooooh Napoli on Tuesday. Pools panel says - away win.
Sorry for your deep offence, chief. It was meant to be a play on Murdoch’s dominance of the media and their relentless re-glossing of English top flight football. I’m happy for @colon_closed_bracket to change it.
Not really sure how the derby will go. Felt quietly confident at the beginning of last season, having only played mediocre opposition, only to get spanked by City in our first serious game. Reckon we’re in better shape this year, and Herrera is a decent replacement for Pogba and Fellaini, just don’t think we’ve had anything close to a real test yet. Liverpool look ropey, but always perform in the big games.
That said, it’s a hyped United game, so the score will of course be 0-0.
