For those predicting defeat on Derby Day...

Just consider this, almost two years ago:

Hart, Onuoha, Richards, Dunne, Ball, Vassell, Ireland, Hamann (Sun 84), Gelson, Petrov (Garrido 87), Benjani (Caicedo 75).

Beat a team consisting of:

Van der Sar, Brown, Vidic, Ferdinand, O'Shea (Carrick 73), Nani (Park 64), Scholes, Anderson (Hargreaves 73), Giggs, Ronaldo, Tevez.

Despite setbacks such as form, injuries, and a new manager — games against United are rarely predictable. We've beat United with far worse teams that we're going to put out tomorrow.

So get behind the team and just think, if tomorrow doesn't quite go to plan, we have a chance to make amends next week.
