its not a derby, full stop.
There is a light said:Todays MUEN comment on the Rags v Liverpool being the biggest derby of them all... "It is a constant bugbear of City supporters that they remain only a minor irritant to their Old Trafford rivals".
Is this true? Personally I could not give a flying f*ck what any of them think. I have long since turned off from them and their shit talk. If the Liverpool game is the biggest game for the Rags then good for them.
The fact that they seem to think saying this winds us up would suggest we are still very much in their fans mindsets though and then of course there is the incessant songs and utter glee at the recent derby win. I can understand why matches against the rest of the Sky four have such importance in terms of winning trophies when you are at the top, but you just know they'll be throwing themselves off bridges when we win anything of significance (another reason to hope the famine ends this year)
Ric said:Most of my closest mates are United fans, and they see Liverpool as a bigger game to them than City. Not that I give a shit, of course. But for Ferguson to keep referring to it as a derby? Granted,he's a whisky soaked, deluded pensioner but perhaps we should lay it out in simple terms... Alex, a derby refers to two teams from the same area playing each other. Salford and Liverpool are poles apart, geographically at least.
