The day the tables turned

I think we knew the tables were turning in the previous year - April 2010 when Scholes scored a late headed winner in a midweek derby at the Etihad, at the end of the season. 93rd minute! That was the season when fuckin' Owen got the winner in the 4-3 at the swamp in the 96th fuckin' minute!
Many fans around me were saying things to the effect " Never mind - we're there! We're gonna have 'em next year..."
"Hope so!..." we all thought, very fuckin' pissed off, with fingers crossed; and the guys were proven right - what a decade and more followed :-)
How the ref's helped the scummy twats that season!

That was the game but I don't agree with some of that. They didn't have to beat us and that's the point. A draw would have been fine for them and that's what they played for. Something old whisky nose wouldn't do ordinarily. We was good and professional but they was really poor on the night. Zero ambition to attack or get forward so once we got our goal we just needed to be disciplined. We didn't create much ourselves but I agree that game shown that United and their manager was scared of what we could do and they could feel that shift coming.

IIRC Nasri had half a chance at the end but couldn't get the ball out of his feet. I think the roof might actually have come off the place if he'd put that away.
 
Anyone else feel like the 4-1 in 2013/14 felt more like the tables have truly turnt. Since this game we have been favourites for every derby since. Given the amount of trashings we've given united since then it's easy to go under under the radar but in the moment it was a huge.

That one might be the most comprehensive derby victory since the takeover, perhaps with the exception of the 6-3 at ours. Still annoys me a bit that we let them off the hook that day.
 
I would agree that both the semi final and the 6-1 were extremely important in turning the tables. However the game that swung it for me was 3-2 cup defeat at the Etihad. Three down at half time and down to ten men due to one of the most stupid refereeing decisions I've seen. We didn't give up like they did at the swamp three months, we absolutely battered them in the second half and maybe should have had a draw at the end when Phil the face handled the ball but the referee wasn't able to see it.
Sometimes more things are learned in defeat rather than victory. Which is why the 1-0 game was so one sided. Ferguson knew if he tried to play football against us when it was eleven against eleven we would have ripped him a new arsehole!

It's happened in my lifetime, and I'd love to see it again. I was but an mid teen at the time, but by heck that back heel was so sweet. I cheered when I watched on the Granada Big Mstch on the Sunday afternoon. Obviously I knew it taken place the day previously and was aware of the result, but it was so enjoyable. Just very annoying they came back up immediately in 76.

The day the tables turned for me- two things. Welcome to Manchester for Carlos, and the indomitable Yaya in THAt semi. An honourable mention to for Mario on Sick SwAN day. That was class!!

An open wound that still festers inside and outside with Ferdinand. We are like an abcess that will never heal for him or their supporters.
What a fecking shame:-)

Was a corporate guest that day, and even though we were in the City end, a couple of the party were United fans. One of them I knew of previously. I’ll never forgot when Scholes was sent off and I looked round to clock them 30 seconds later, and both cunts had gone!

I’m not in contact with the one I knew of, but I know others who are and according to all of them he’s become a right bitter **** when it comes to City.

Their pain truly is a thing of beauty.

Aren’t they all right bitter cunts about City gdm?
 
Personally I thought the tables turned well before that Semi-Final, They beat us 2-1 at the Swamp in the league that season "luckily". We absolutely schooled the fuckers and should have won that game.

They knew we had their number from thar game onwards.

Red bastards.

Just doing a bit of reflection and a few years have gone by now. I know this has been done 1,000 times but did not know which thread to put this in:

Yaya's goal against the rags in the FA Cup semi felt like the pivotal moment for me. So much built up emotion and so much energy. It felt like everything after this moment was inevitable, all the way up to the Treble. Yaya also had an unbelievable way of making it look like he was playing with toddlers in the park.

This was the trip to Wembley that surpasses all the others including the Watford final!
