2 sold already?! :nigel:

 

 

I'd take a draw. As much as United are a joke this season, they're pretty solid at home. That said, sneaking a 1-0 win isnt entirely out of the question.

Ok, now bare with me but will winning the league at Old Trafford or on Monday night be a bit of an anti climax?

 

I want our players to win it in front of us, with a pitch invasion, holding our superstars aloft. The players deserve better than celebrating to fans up in the sky at Old Trafford.

They just want to win it mate rather than playing a risk of trying to pick a game with it possibly going tits up.

The closer this game comes the more confident I am that we will finish the job with an absolute demolition of Man Utd. We will simply want it more.

 

Man U fans wont be bothered one bit if Leicester fans celebrate in the home end. Its the stewards you need to be wary of. Keep celebrations to a minimum until FT then go mental

If Rooney carries on this midfield role for Man utd he will up against Kante Saturday and i think NG will ruin him, Rooney will have no time on the ball.

 

Absolutely. 100%. I think it will be such a one-sided battle that I'll almost feel sorry for Rooney.

 

Almost.

This.

 

Where is everyone drinking pre-match?

Saving it for the post celebrations.Depends where I hear the News, and level of success.

Might run around naked in north Vosges.Bottle of Champagne, Baguette and it could

only be blue and white cheese.

That would get the bioligists thinking, Le Figaro on Monday-morning..

Stranded whale found high on the Hohneck, deleriously shouting its love for foxes

and some italian Godfather, dancing with a baguette held high coverered

with a blue n white cheese...Shooting high from its blowhole Champagne,

then declaring to the Gendarmes his undying love,

for some hero called Kante, and all Algerians called Mahrez, also after a few 'hics',

Telling the gendarmes he loved them too, and invites them to participate in sharing

with him a swig, of something called Vardys Volley.

Manchester United should be motivated by Vardy cheating vs Leicester

 

Jamie Vardy effectively killed one Man Utd player's career and Louis van Gaal has never rediscovered his attacking instincts since defeat at Leicester.

There are two clips Louis van Gaal should show his United players ahead of Sunday's game.

One is of Arsenal's jubilant players celebrating in front of Old Trafford 's south-east corner after accomplishing their domestic double win in 2002 and the other is of United giving newly-crowned champions Chelsea a guard of honour in 2005.

Gary Neville looked like a resident clapping burglars into his living room that night but Leicester winning the league in United's own back yard would be more humiliating. Not just due to their size or the clubs' financial chasm, or how humiliatingly it would underline United's own demise, but because of what happened 20 months ago.

Following Jamie Vardy's recent dive against West Ham, the video of his theatrical tumble against United last year was posted on Twitter and it was apparent some had still not got over it.

"That decision still staggers me." "How was that ever a penalty?" "I remember being so f****d off at this." "A year and a half and I'm still not over this." "This beggars belief even now! Shocking decision." "This match broke me." Van Gaal was heard shouting inside the dressing room after Vardy's tumble sparked United's capitulation in a 5-3 defeat.

One United-supporting friend confided to being so angry at the result he kicked his airer - and washing - into orbit. Just as infuriating as the manner of the loss was the aftermath; the defeat established Van Gaal's sterile style.

At Leicester, United started with an attacking quartet of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao. They looked so formidable they appeared intent on inflicting a record defeat on Leicester but, due to a combination of Rafael da Silva's impetuousness, Vardy's theatrics and referee Mark Clattenburg's ineptitude, United wilted and sieved five goals.

Di Maria, who decorated the game with his elegant chip, never played that well again in red. Had Falcao not struck his half-volley so forcefully , he would have claimed an ingenious strike on his full debut and would have surely scored more than four United goals.

Instead, the pair began to flounder in an attack suffering an identity crisis, while another South American suffered. Vardy's dive effectively killed the popular Rafael's career.

The Brazilian started the next four games but, already mindful Van Gaal had failed to sell him in the summer transfer window, his confidence disintegrated and Rafael played just five more times for United.

The only consolation was United had scored seven goals in two games after the final whistle at the King Power Stadium.

But due to a combination of injuries, suspensions and the defensive aberration, Van Gaal nipped that gung-ho adventurousness in the bud and the team became increasingly reliant on David de Gea's magnificence.

Dannys Simpson and Drinkwater are Mancunians who came through the United academy and are more examples of how far professionals developed by Warren Joyce can go in the game. Some United fans might feel a pang of pride at their achievements but it is offset by Vardy, who won't be even playing on Sunday.

The Foxes' probable title win is much more palatable for Reds than a City or Liverpool championship, but United fans are reluctant to revel in Vardy's 'party', embittered by his cheating against them last season - as well as his unpleasant conduct on and off the pitch. Fairy tales are streaked with darkness and so are Leicester.

Professionally, Van Gaal's future hinges on Champions League qualification so, unlike in 2004 and 2005, the manager can't let up in the league just because he has an FA Cup final on the horizon.

Players like Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Morgan Schneiderlin and Ashley Young - overlooked for the starting XI at Wembley - will also be desperate to impress the manager with just four games remaining.

 

United earned a guard of honour at Arsenal three years ago today, when Kieran Gibbs looked at Robin van Persie as jealously as Fredo Corleone watching Michael usurp him. They have also clinched the league at four away grounds in the Premier League era and, perhaps most dynamically, with a 6-1 thrashing of West Ham at the Boleyn Ground in 1967. United are familiar with the elation and deflation of title wins.

They need to ensure Leicester aren't as jubilant as Arsenal were 14 years ago.

Abysmal trolling.
