Thinking 2-1 United.

Can't see De Gea keeping a clean sheet and think Rooney will score one, with Welbeck getting the other.

Knew they struggles to get goals, but didnt realise Liverpool's scoring rate away from was that low.

United need to keep out the sloppy errors that were there vs chelsea, because the rest of the play was very good
 
Going for a 2-2. With one side to score a last minute equaliser.

Think it'll be Gerard and Kuyt for Liverpool. Rooney and Welbeck for Utd.
 
Carroll's hitting form, him and Bellamy to super sub it please.

But I'd like a boring 0-0, with no incidents at all.

Ah Ferguson, shush your mouth please.

3-1 for us. Can't see L'pool getting anything from this match. We were sooo superior on Anfield, but we missed Rooney. With Evans hitting form, I highly doubt Suarez will be trouble. And if we keep Suarez quiet, then he can't assist ( let's be honest, guy sucks in finishing). Fancy L'pool to score from free kick ( like they always do).

Obviously want the win, but otherwise agreed. Really hope our fans behave themselves, expect Suarez to get stick, as Evra did, but hope its all kept to the minimum. Football only please
 
Predictions: Bad refereeing. At least one red card. Outrage over something involving Suarez. Carroll to come on with less than 5 minutes to go. Fletcher to empty his bag during half time.

If it's a 0-0 though you know the morons will try even harder to find something to talk about.

Well if the clubs are prepared to draw a line under it with a handshake between Suarez and Evra, no reason at all why the fans can't. Fully expect a small minority to ignore it though which is a shame.

You think only minority will ignore? No majority will and rightly so.

Tbh I'd like to think the sensible fans on both sides outnumber the less sensible and wouldn't want to draw unneccessary media coverage to their respective clubs. It's football not a media circus. Pretty much why I'm not going to watch it.

Its not about being sensible, Evra was booed at Anfield, so I see no reason why an United fan will think twice before throwing **** at Suarez or Liverpool. It could have been avoided but I think its too late now.
 
I enjoyed the nice dramatic Suarez/Evra montage SS just played before the teams came out. Way to focus on the football.

Indeed, anyone who thinks Suarez (or Evra) won't get booed is kidding themselves. Sadly it won't be in the pantomime jest it should be.
