    Hahaha, we are such a sensitive bunch of souls - of course it's going to be more about United than us - Mourinho's first game and the debut of the most expensive footballer in the world. Plus it's one of the biggest clubs in the world. It would be madness NOT to be mainly about them. It would also be madness if we sat here thinking they weren't going to mention us. Not sure what people are expecting!!

    Yes, but it is not as if Old Trafford is a really big wide pitch or anything ..... oh hang on a minute...

    Oh of course, but there's something about his demeanour that suggests he's one of those that needs to feel important and good about himself. If you can conjure that up he'll perform over and above expectation. He needs to be 'the man'.

    Huh, blue sky here though not massively sunny. I'm not far from Manchester. It did absolutely pour it down before though, maybe it's moved that way.

    Well, I suppose you could say that our formation seems to be a defensive match up to theirs, we will see what happens in reality. Please let Romeu have a good game.

    I have a bad feeling that Romeu will get overwhelmed, forcing Davis and hojbjerg to get sucked in to the middle, leaving fullbacks exposed.

    I would love us to **** up the Utd hype (Sky have only chatted about us for 5mins), but can only see a thumping.

    I still don't see anything bar a comfortable United win.

    It could mean Long and Redmond are forced wide and defensively, leaving Tadic our outlet up front
