Strangely I am not as worried about this game than I have been about many recently. United are far from their best and we have a good recent record at OT. Not going to be a cakewalk but I don't see a good hiding. The only thing that may be against us is they will also be aware of our recent record there and won't want it to happen again. Looking forward to it.

I'm more concerned about the John Moss factor than anything else.

It's the poorest United side I can remember, but it seems to have been a slow decline for a few seasons now, yet we still cant find a win.

Add in the Moss factor, our rigid predictable set up & style, and reactive ways, I can only see a narrow defeat :(

The fact I hate everything about that club only adds to my frustration and anger.

Would love a win there, or to snatch a point at the death, like theyve done to us in recent years.

Aarrggh, bloody Moss, you can nearly write the script now.

I think I was there in 1962 when we won 5-2, hazy recall but I think Harris scored a couple.
