Agree. In terms of success there was only ever "The Ferguson Way". That's not something you can replicate.

To be fair, there was also the Busby Way, but that's two great managers interspersed with a lot of shit, not a club philosophy. Two of these things are not like the other things:

Matt Busby
Wilf McGuinness
Busby (again)
Frank O'Farrell
Tommy Docherty
Dave Sexton
Ron Atkinson
Alex Ferguson
David Moyes
Giggseh (caretaker)
Louis van Gaal
Jose Mourinho
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer

Where is the "Manchester United Way" in that list.

Pogba is shit as is Rashford, their whole team is shit.

Said this about Shane Long some 55 games ago, he scored 3 in his last 6 or something like that, so it does work

Shaw is back from suspension, hopefully he plays the snidey twat Hererra, perfect game for him to come in and hack a few of the City lads.

When I look at this game Im not holding out much hope of any good news for us, all I see is this........ I have had a drink or two

Sol Scar moves to block Pep at the dug out and declares "None shall pass. Its the United way". Pep in a conciliatory manner, asserts his teams right to cross and enter the pitch, but Sol Scar says Pep and his team will die. Pep orders Sol Scar to move but he says, "I move for no man but Mr Ferguson". Reluctantly, Pep fights Sol Scar and, after a short battle, Sol Scars left arm is severed, which squirts out copious amounts of blood.

Even at this, Sol Scar refuses to stand aside, insisting "Tis but a scratch" and that he has "had worse", and fights on while holding his sword with his other arm. Next, his right arm is cut off, but Sol Scar still does not concede. As Sol Scar is literally disarmed, Pep assumes the fight is over and kneels to offer a prayer to Abu Dhabi. Sol Scar interrupts Pep's prayer of thanks by kicking him in the side of the head and accusing him of cowardice and working for a corrupt regime.

When Pep points out Sol Scars injuries, he insists, "It's just a flesh wound." In response to the continued kicks and insults, Pep chops off Sol Scars right leg. At this point, Sol Scar still will not admit defeat, saying, "Right, I’ll do you for that", and attempts to ram his body into Pep's by hopping on his left leg. Pep is annoyed at Sol Scars persistence and sarcastically asks him if he is going to bleed on him to win. Sol Scar replies by saying "I'm invincible and Ive got Paul Pogba Rashford and the Stretford end to back me up you've just got empty seats as usual" to which Pep retorts "You're a loony."

With an air of resignation, Pep finally cuts off the left leg as well and sheathes his sword. With Sol Scar now reduced to a mere stump of a man, he says, "All right, we'll call it a draw. I would have got a penalty for that if Howard Webb was still reffing" Pep then walks to the edge of his technical area, leaving Sol Scars limbless torso screaming threats at him "Running away, eh? You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what's coming to ya! I'll bite your legs off!"

Meanwhile Aguero taps in his second without reply from 1 yard out leaving a gurning Phil Jones on his arse (again) and Liverpool fans to write about how shite United are on RAWK

Just on this United Way thing....

I'm in my fifties and while nowadays I'm more interested in LFC than I am in football in general, I wasn't always this way. I used to have an avid interest in all things football.

Yet I'd never heard of this now fabled United Way. Not until after Ferguson left and they started to struggle that is. Suddenly ex players started turning up in the media regurgitating the term ad nauseum. I even remember the very first time I witnessed it. Dwight Yorke on Sky Sports News. He was in the studio giving his views on the latest United crisis and he must have used the term about 8 times.

Basically it's a load of bollocks - there never was a United Way.

I've said the same loads on here.

There never was a 'United Way'. What they talk of as the 'United Way' these days was actually just the Ferguson Way, and his way was modelled on the Liverpool Way.
As Ferguson's old players went on to become pundits, they did the exact same as ex Liverpool players did when they themselves had become pundits before them, but they just replaced Liverpool Way with United Way. I suppose I can see why, because they were successful for a couple of decades and genuinely had a dynasty. It was all Ferguson, though, which has been evidenced by what went before him and their demise after his departure despite throwing a fortune at a number of managers.

Of course, they had a great man and great manager in Sir Matt Busby, but his legacy was never built on. United were relegated just six years after winning the European Cup. The Busby and Ferguson eras were, of course, magnificent for United, but outside of those eras United have often been a laughing stock for a club of their size and at best a plucky cup side.

Manchester United at Old Trafford are not scary any more, says Pep Guardiola

Guardiola is either being stupid with those comments, or genuinely believes United simply do not have it in their locker these days to hurt them, so he feels he can say what he likes.

Problem is, a couple of weeks ago this game was probably a routine, nailed-on away win. But since then, United have been horribly embarrassed by their cuddly bosom buddies from Goodison. The attitude and application of their players has been questioned. Their professionalism and integrity is being questioned. Klopp has basically rubbished the idea that they could get any kind of result against their derby rivals on their home ground. The truth of the matter is that they are being viewed as a hopeless, helpless laughing stock. Now, we even have Guardiola feeling safe enough to stick the boot in before what is an absolutely crucial game for his team. He may be stating the truth, but it's a disrespectful comment to make. A comment usually best said after a win, not before the game.

I have to say, if all this is not enough to see United pull together and put in a performance that shoves it all down their critics throats then they are finished as a force. With the humiliation they've gone through just recently, Ferguson would have them tearing heads off to prove themselves regardless of the opposition and regardless of their personal limitations. He'd be absolutely seething at how everyone is laughing at them. Maybe Guardiola is not really taking a risk and maybe United simply have no balls anymore? I suppose we will find out what they are made of tomorrow...

Saw the Gary Neville interview with Ole and have to say, he looks a bit lost and seemed very frustrated with Neville. His demeanour has shifted over the past few weeks and he doesn't look like he's enjoying it much at the minute - understandable I guess.

But that frustration will be rubbing off on the players, and think we could see a sly, dirty-arse game tomorrow. His words on City's players and 'tactical fouling' is of no great revelation - most teams do, but Ole's been a bit shrewd with this claim and all eyes will be on City's mugger, Fernandino.

Will PG play him? That is the question for me - it seems B. Silva and Sterling is giving him a run for his money of late. But United honed the art of tactical fouling and do it also through Herrera and Matic... so while it's a bit pot and kettle, it will certainly have an some small effect on the game.

Regardless, while it is well-known, it's a bit of a shrewd move by them to highlight this - if Ole plays Rashford, Martial and Lingard (which he probably won't), could see them getting some flavour on the counter here.

Still more than likely get hammered mind you, and Ole's comment smells a bit of shithoursery, but stranger things have happened and it is a derby after all.

Mental odds, really.

Hard to see anything but a City win, but it is a derby, United do have a few handy players and City look very beatable (drawable is fine too). Its said time and time again, but they need to withstand the early City attacking barrage. If they can get to the 60th minute without conceding somehow, they have a great chance. City are so used to going up early in the game and having everything their own way. We need United to get right in their faces from the off.

Between Pickford in the Darby, the missed City pen, the free header from 2 yards yesterday and 1000 other things all season, United at their longest home odds in history to win us the title is almost a sure bet.

I've not watched any of City's 10 game winning run so tonight I'll be watching as just checking the score at FT has just brought shit luck so far.

Some have said the title won't be decided tonight - I disagree as I cannot see City dropping points in their last three after the boost of a derby win. I get it's not over til it's over etc. but I remember 2009 and 2014 too well when our rivals just kept winning in uncanny fashion. We're long overdue a rival fucking up in the run in.

The silver lining if United lose is that's likely them fucked for next season, but that would be scant consolation.
