New season, same old Sunderland. Their back four looks awful. And their midfield doesn't look much better.

Nothing to worry about. They will win all 8 games from April to May and survive with a game to spare.

Marcus Rashford! Remember the name....

God we're poor under Puel's diamond system.

The one error I feel JM has made so fsr is not playing him enough.

Hodgson made the same mistake.

The boy has talent.

It seems that different sports have different standards when it comes to lightning....

"The weather. Not only was it chucking it down in buckets, but lightning strikes were splitting the sky, and some of the floodlights were knocked out at one point. In some other countries, players have been taken off the pitch for their own safety in similar conditions."

First real big game of the season today. Pep vs Jose.

Will we see any eye gouging, bottles thrown, all in brawls or even a memorable goal.

1-0 united for me, though a 0-0 draw would be a big anti climax.

Tactical masterclass from Guardiola so far in the first half.

Can Mourinho turn things around at half time?

[budgetmeansbudget]

Goal out of nothing for Man U, a Joe Hart like howler from the City keeper.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Superb game now.

[budgetmeansbudget]

United should be level as the City defence has gone to pieces.

[ntini77]

We should be about 0-4 up. Typical.

[Aidan11]

There's a few more goals in this game I reckon.

[yuppie]

Its a good thing that Pep has bought in a more solid goal keeper.
