    Big fan of Acorah out wide. Ghosts past players.

    Wasn’t really given Derby had the kids playing.

    Going for it ..

    Ighalo will score, which will make me cry.

    Lingard will score, which will make me vomit.

    Tough night ahead.

    Heavy defeat incoming. Deeney will moan at Ighalo for not passing to him.

    Has Iggy scored for Utd at all? And does anyone know how many times he has started for them in the PL (failing to score in 12 appearances)?

    Oh that's good.
    Nice for Troy to have someone different to blame.

    You are right Burnsy, the exact quote should be: - "I'll tell you what, I will love it if we beat them, love it"

    PS I know the overall quote was a bit longer, but the end part above is the part I wanted to put across.

    It’s going to be Deeney and Gray upfront with a recycling midfield behind isn’t it?

    I’d genuinely rather play without a number 9 of those are our only options.

    God knows why this was chosen as the main evening game, completely uninspiring match. Routine win for United, Ighalo is bound to score as well.

    Its Man U.

    Think they have only ever not been on the box once in about 10 years !

    Couple in the FA cup and Europa league last year .
     
  12. For the first time in years I have no interest in watching a game and will probably take the opportunity of a quiet evening to go the the supermarket.

    In all seriousness I just read that Garner can play in this game as it's a cup game and this is the first game in the competition for both sides.

    So the BBC can sell it to foreign TV companies.

    It’s on BT though but fair point.

    Easier to sell to the overseas market as you say .

    Why are Arsenal and Newcastle both allowed white as the secondary colour in their shirts. But if we went to Norwich with a yellow and red striped shirt we wouldn't.

    I'm furious. (I'm not, just wonder what the rule is).

    Romance of the cup eh? Show the same premier league teams that get shown every week.
    Still at least it means they can spend two minutes talking about our change of manager before going back to talking about the Mancs.

    So no shocks so far. I don't call Chorley beating Derby's kids a shock really. We might* produce one, but I hope Marine give Spud's a game.

    Gray - Do you expect me to score?

    Everyone - No, Mr Gray, I expect you to miskick the ball and enjoy a lockdown breaking party after the game.

    Penalty for Fernandes!

    Just seen this is on BT so a perfect excuse not to watch.

    Man Utd 1-5 Watford

    What a choice IBB. A lazy and poor Bond film or a lazy and poor Watford performance.

    Gary doesn't do cheap on BT or MOTD
    It's not easy being smug whilst telling the viewer through the presenters insight what the viewer has already seen

    As long as it's not another humiliating hammering I don't care, would prefer a narrow loss than a win, the last thing we need is another game to play.

    Don't forget VAR is in place so even if we do manage to put up a fight sure that will trip us up.

    not sure about this. On the one hand we don’t need extra games. On the other it could be a huge confidence boost
