    I've got a funny feeling this could be the weekend that North London bites back. Six months on from that amazing Sunday when Spurs were humiliated 5 - 1 by City at The Lane and we [United] destroyed Arsenal 8 - 2 at Old Trafford, this time round it could be us [United] and City with eggs on our faces.

    Mancini will face the biggest game of his career in the Premier League. A win for Roberto, coupled with a defeat for us against Arsenal, would virtually be game over for us. I've kept faith through good and bad - thick and thin. But, if we do not win on Sunday, it's frankly game over for us. We've spent significant years at the top, it's time that this squad which I consider to be average, gave way to teams like Spurs and City.

    Spurs need to go out with the incentive of winning the game - they are helped massively by a vast key absence - Kompany and the Toure brothers. Having said that it will be a tough, tough ask as Spurs will go all-out for the win. Though, Spurs are third, many - including me - still don't think they can win the title. However, three points at the Etihad for Spurs' would change all that.

    Spurs are favourites for me on Sunday, I've also got a feeling for the Gunners after their defeat to Swansea - it could be North London that bites back this time round!

    I definitely don't make us favourites for the game but I'm hoping we can blow the title race open, with your help on Sunday.

    That said I still see your game as win:win, especially if we can get some sort of result too.

    Thats because he recognises a higher intelligence. Which compared to him is not so difficult.

    So long as we get payback time against that, bought and paid for, bunch of mercenaries, I don't care about other results.

    I was at the Belgium grand prix that Sunday.

    I remember getting back to the hotel after the race to watch MOTD only to find we had lost 5-1 still watching the gooner highlights cheered me up :grin:

    If we lose, I see it as a sort of relegation into a mini Pleb League with the Chavs, Goons n Racists, N. London could also get sent packing. :(

    When you lose on Sunday you will be in a battle with Arsenal for 4th. Liverpule and Newcastle are not good enough <ok>

    Don't give it any attention, the ignore list is a wonderful thing.

    Looks like the Arsenal Man Utd game will be a battle of the crocked. They've got 21 sicknotes between the two of them on the physioroom site, although Bebe, Owen, Fabiansky and Jenkinson are largely irrelevant anyway.

    I can't see Arsenal winning.

    I have called the last 5 games between them right and I have predicted a United win. Whilst Arsenal boast the better midfield and are at home, I think United are better defensively away from OT as proven and I think the Gooners will get picked off by Nani, Valencia, Rooney, Welbeck etc <ok>

    It won't be as bad as last time but both Manchester clubs will win.
