Mark Connolly Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 With Christmas Day to come, it will be nice to have a buildup to a derby where the entire week isn't used up absolutely bricking it about the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would any DAB be the slightest bit worried in the build up to this? We are going to get so badly butt-fucked that the live broadcast will have to be delayed to post-watershed on decency grounds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I think we might be favourites for this one.Absolutely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaspianChris Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 No danger of complacency regarding the title from me as much as I expect a solid United win on Friday by a 3-0 scoreline. Talk of title parties is far to premature at this point of the season and cocky for my liking as history has shown in the past. I seem to recall Dundee being the same sort gap 12-13 points ahead of ICT an number of years ago and dramatically collapsing and allowing ICT to go on and win the league. Even further back Newcastle throwing a 10 point or so lead away over Man Utd to allow the Man Utd to retain their title, during which time I recall Kevin Keegan having a meltdown and blast at Sir Alex and Man Utd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'll still be nervous, despite the points gap. We are Dundee United, after all. I doubt anyone is complacent given what the last few years have brought us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talks of the title are far too premature. I take a lot of comfort from wins like last Saturday in horrendous conditions and today given what the first half was like. The team seem to have a level of determination missing in the last few seasons and that bodes well for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United have won the league, just like Liverpool have won the league. In both leagues there's not a single side anywhere near as good or as consistent as them. The ICT 2010 comparison is a bad one. We had by far the best team in the league but just took until the November to click. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I can see us winning this one. Far worse Dundee teams have fluked a win against far better Arab Cunto Teams. I’m going for 2-1 us with Dorrans getting 1, finally. United are winning the league at a canter, and fair dues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Aye, this is probably one of the only Derbies that United fans can chill out with. Let's say we f**k you rotten, still just the 14 points clear of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I am just hoping to not lose. By the law of derby averages, something has to give and Dundee will get something against us either on Friday or in the last derby. I know that if we lose we are still well clear but psychologically it would be a big blow. An entertaining score draw and I would be satisfied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I don’t buy this “so long as we don’t lose stuff”. I want us to win because: 1. It would be 10 wins in a row - that would be pretty remarkable. 2. We have won every home league game this season. 3. It’s the derby, being able to noise up Funsters over the festive period would be excellent. We will drop points between now and the end of the season, I just don’t want it to start this Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any more, but it was a college before it achieved full university status. True story. I started my degree at Abertay ‘College’ and graduated at Abertay University. Didn't make the degree worth anymore tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
