When's the last time you've been this pessimistic before a game?

[Letters]

The general consensus about tomorrow seems to be:

It's very rare I'm this certain we'll lose a game. When's the last time you felt like this before a game (if you do?)
For me it's Barca away the other year when we got the predictable battering (although but for the ref and Bentner not living up to his own hype we might just have gone through that night)

[Marc Overmars]

United away last year.

I hate the fixture, we very rarely get results there. We either get battered or play well and still lose. Gah.

Where have you been? This has been the norm for a minute now.

[IBK]

I can't remember, but I will have felt so more times in the past - simply because I cared more then. Now its just 'meh'. I think we'll lose and I'm not going to beat myself up about it when we do.

I can't remember the last time I felt this bad going to Old Trafford.
Usually I think we might get something up there (and usually I'm wrong).
Not this time.
ManYoo will win. RvP will score. These are known knowns.

Can I beat you up when we lose?

When it seems things can't get any worse, I usually think we'll pull off a miracle. But now we've seen it enough times to know we don't do that - we just sink to newer lows. Absolutely certain of a Man Utd win. And what IBK said...won't be getting annoyed about the result. Hope we get Gibbs and others back for a game after that we can win in the battle for CL qualification.

An utter disgrace and nothing short of a travesty that this legacy will be attached to out greatest manager yet.

[Globalgunner]

If Ramsinho and santos play and or if Dowd or the bald copper are on Fergies teamsheet, then you can forget it. The only silver lining is that its just 3 points, just like getting smothered at Norwich. If this was a CL fixture or Fa cup 1/4 them maybe I would wake up 2mrw wishing it was the day after. But hey, if wenger csn shrug off crap displays, so can I.

Last time I felt this consigned to a loss was before the QPR game.

Everything depends on the team selection tomorrow. Chamakh is back to his very best - so he's still not good enough to play. Giroud up top then, but we must make sure we isolate him or else he might score. If our players can each run 14.2 kilometres in 93 minutes then statistically we deserve to win, although we may not actually win. Keeping the ball will be vitally important, if we hide it then Utd can't score.
