Didn't you read the build up???United fans were even more depressed after the game yesterday than they usually are after getting beat in a derby. The reason being that they actually thought they had a world beating team after the SUPPOSED mega signings. As the first half progressed yesterday the realisation that City were on a completely different level to them must have really hurt. By the end of the game they were actually chuffed and almost celebrating that they were able to compete with us a little in the second half and not look totally outclassed.
I can even sympathise with how they are feeling in a way but I won't get too upset about it???!!. As a City fan, if I had to sit through that first half watching United completely play us off the park then I would be utterly miserable too.
They rinsed us in the transfer market over the summer!!
So much so that we started with 3 players signed over the summer, one of whom was playing his first game, whose combined fees were less than one single player - yet for 40 minutes it looked like we'd been together forever.
