Remember it is just another game......

I can't believe the hype on this forum about the match, it is just another game and the main thing is we pick up points. The derby used to mean everything to me as it was about the only time we could actually 'achieve' anything against our neighbours but now with the investment and the squad we have the Champions League and silverware to aim for, beating them means nothing.

There is no doubt it my mind that we have a squad that are comfortably capable of disposing of this United side and therefore we should feel confident as a club. We must stay organised as we did against Chelsea and we must concentrate for 98 minutes, if we do this I can see something happening similar to the Liverpool game at home.

Come on City just go out and play your football and we will win.

I agree for me our rivals are Chelsea not the rags, they are yesterdays news and the woolworths of football.

It's not just another game though is it? We have the best team we've had for years and are currently only 3 points behind them. This game at this moment in time carrys huge importance both on the pitch and off it. We know how cocky and arrogant United fans are from dealing with them day in day out, they're as smug as they come and to come into work tomorrow on the back of a defeat to them is a nightmare. Deep down i'm sure they're worried however most United fans i know are confident, they always are, they always think they're better than us and think they always will be. I'm sure they won't be and we can shut them up with a win tonight and well and truely show that we are to be taken seriously

beating them means nothing.

It might not mean everything anymore but nothing, really?

Important , but our players have to believe they can win every game and pick up 3 points regardless of the opposition

Bollocks.

Derby matches are always important for any team, regardless of standing. Even the rags hold it in high regard, even if they wont admit it. Its the same across the world, its the emotion tied to it that makes it such an important occassion.

I agree that we need to lose the "rag obsession" but tonight we need to rub their noses in it good and proper, it's the right time.

Is this a wind-up?

To become the best in the country, we must first become the best team in Manchester. Tonight COULD be a giant step on the way to that. Don't kid yourself - it's a MASSIVE night for both clubs
