I can't see anything less than 3 points will do today, or Chris'll get the sack.

We should be beating teams like Man u, but no need for a knee-jerk reaction if luck is against us.

We've dropped all the way down to 9th since we beat Swansea a few weeks ago, this current unbeaten run of form is unacceptable.

Manchester is a horrible city, it rains constantly and is full of pricks.

For a variety of reasons I was up there last weekend, and whilst the weather down here was rubbish, it was very sunny, if a tad cold.
I was surprised by the number of homeless on the streets though.

UTA.

I’m finding it a little bit difficult to get excited about today’s game given that we’ve got Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

That’s wrong isn’t it?

Reckon the biggest danger to the Albion today is themselves. If they approach the game as football tourists and give Man U too much respect, they could be on the end of a thumping. Seen that too many times before against 'name' opposition. On the other hand, if the players come out and play like we know they're capable of, then it's game on!

It's weird, playing at Old Trafford in a league game was one of the things I was most excited for when we got promoted,however today has just dwarfed by Tuesday for me. Yeah, we're playing Manchester United in a league game, it's a massive thing but nothing matters as long as beat that lot up the road in the week.

Fantastic use of the wrong, imaginary date - that will definitely confuse them & give us the edge we need.....!!! Great work!

Lawdy me, how embarrassing! In my defence, my small brain couldn't register the fact that we are playing on a Saturday at 3pm.

Morinho:

Boss wary of Brighton threat

“For us, Brighton, Watford and Arsenal are very important games, but let’s focus on Brighton - ninth in the table, a good team, difficult to beat, don’t concede many goals, a mixture of physicality, aggression, also quality and creativity.

“I know we have a good record at home and are strong there, but we know the opponent is going to be difficult for us.”

Of course this is typical kidology but regardless of what anyone thinks about JM, his respect and praise for Albion really shines a light on pricks like Howe and Adkins who have hardly mustered an Albion compliment among them. There was a particularly ungracious interview from Dyche too, in a game we deserved to win. However, I generally quite like him, so I'll make an exception. Most ungracious managers, might make a thread one day.....
