Can we win the derby?

[Chinners]

We'll fecking stuff them . . .

[feedthegreek]

their talking about 4matches on ssn 1 for the celebration,
3 for the alleged stamp,
any way just been on the fa appeals procedure,
he should have 7 days to appeal which im certain he will.
so therefore he should play against the scum.

[TrueBlue82]

YES WE CAN!

not going to be easy but we can do it.

I think we can win, but to be honest, I'm not sure we will win...... I hope I'm wrong, but teams just don't go to OT and win it's never as simple as that!!!

I would absolutely (and to quote KK) love it if we beat them, I'm going aswell - my first trip to the swamp - so it would be nice to come out of there having just witnessed us take 3 points off them and leapfrog them in the league!

I also however, and daft as it sounds with our squad, struggle without Ade.... he wins balls in the air and holds it up better than anyone i've seen to allow other players to get into good positions around him. I feel we will seriously lack a lot of our attacking presence if he get's banned, it'd ideal to get Roque back in the team in time, but without much match time I can't see him being particularly effective against them.

If I was Hughes I'd go for the option of pace up front, Bellers, SWP and One of Tevez/Petrov/Weiss.

There is enough talent and pace there to harm them, but without the aerial advantage we have with Ade our play will be a bit one dimensional at times.

We definately can beat them but i've got this one as a draw. Ade will be playing as we will appeal any sentence handed down to him, thereafter we are playing a load of teams we should be beating anyway until Liverpool in late November so any ban Ade gets won't hit us too hard anyway and he will be fresh going into the Liverpool game if he gets a very lengthy ban.

Be better to get maximum points from those games though.

[zuricity]

Yes we can beat them because I won't be there!

So the usual won't happen when i'm in Trafford docks.
I'll be in Berlin running the Marathon. So if anyone knows of a good place to watch the game, I'd really appreciate knowing. At least I will finish in time to get a good seat in a pub.

I was thinking "S**t, only one striker available" but then looked at the team that won at the Nou Camp. No Richards (based on last Saturday of course), no Bridge, no Lescott, no De jong, no Robinho, no Santa, no Ade. Tevez played 65 mins so Bellers may have to do the full 90. With 4-5-1 and a bit of luck,and the workrate at the minute we might just surprise em.

I`ve a good feeling about this one and Ade`s appeal
