Mike Dean to referee the derby...

Happy it's not Webb or Twatenburg

Doesn't matter. If we're good enough, we'll win.

Dean getting derby is good, but almost certain not to do our game in semi now. In that scenario, I'd take phil dowd.

remember the last semi Dowd reffed us in?

That Micah Richards 'handball' decision, will haunt me for years.

Not dowds finest moment

Might not end up being that difficult a game to referee for Mr Dean ...... a lot of the 'sting' has been taken out of the occasion by the size of the points gap , the likelihood that most of us are now probably classing the forthcoming semi final as being 'our season' , and the high probability that both sides will be likely to want to avoid injuries.

The game will provide United with their first home draw of the season , and i can see each side scoring once .... although sadly a draw won't really be much use to either of us , as we chase second place , and they go for a record points haul .....

but a point each will probably 'suffice'.

Always done fine by us, sure he's the ref we've got best record with

Sent off Kompany, controversially, which nearly cost City the season.

He was man enough to get it rescinded though and admit he made a mistake.

He hates United. Scouser

Was not just that either as blatant one also not given for us if I remember right.

Best ref in the league

Was hoping for him or Oliver, so I'm happy with this. Thank fuck we didn't get Foy, Dowd or Webb

 

[Blue Smarties]

I'm happy with that.
