The first derby in as long as I can remember where the sick feeling in my stomach isn't there, I genuinely can't get excited or aprehensive about it this time round.. I'm more bothered about the semi now tbh
 
After watching sky sports highlight every anti Mancini and anti city headline in today's papers I am just as excited for tonight as always. Being able to walk into work head high after a derby makes a working week bearable. I don't care when a derby is played it's always as important as a cup final in my eyes. Anyone who does not care needs to give their head a wobble have some pride, don't let's hand them the title graciously lets make them wait for it as long as possible ffs
 
Agree Bondsman,

Listening to Sky, i thought Bobby had shot someone total all out attack, as bad as I have seen, he will probably do one after winning the FA cup, we really need to be careful what we wish for blues! (for me Forza Mancini)

Lets do our talking on the pitch in what is the scum's cup final.

2 or 3-1 to the mighty blues!!!

Mancini cant win tonight. Lose and its more doom and gloom. Win, or even draw, and it'll be used as a stick to beat him for our under-achievement this season.

You obviously havnt read the mancini thread :)
 
I know a lad that for all his sins works at the swamp (in the shop) and he reckons the pitch is in the worse state it has been for 2-3 years and has been left that way purposely to disrupt our passing game, fucking joke club, worse than Stoke's antics!
 
Why wouldn't Cleverley and Carrick match City's midfield? Carrick's been better than any of City midfielders this season and Cleverley is at least on par with anyone they got except Toure who has been awfully inconsistent this season.

It's not really a key game or anything, City need to be careful if anything because a loss here would put them in a tricky position regarding top 4 battle - it's a long shot but the way they've been playing this season they could soon find themselves only 2-3 points ahead of Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs with a couple of bad results.

Deary me, they don't half come up with some shit.
 
Just saw SSN, and there was a comment to the effect that City shouldn't ask for divine help, because Father Paddy O'Reilly (or whatever his name is) is a rag, and wants the rags to win.

Quelle surprise!!

100% this. Lets give it to them and more. I am confident the boys will rise to the occasion. 2-1 City.
 
Time for the team to prove that this season is worth finishing well. Lets win all our remaining matches.
 
I’m sat in the Utd end tonight. Done it a few times. Once for the Munich anniversary game and when Rooney scored his overhead kick.

Said id never do it again as it’s a horrible experience but got offered a free ticket and couldn’t resist watching the blue's.

Wish me look!

We always want to win and this one is high on the list but as long as we stitch up second place with the bonus of some good results and performances ala Chelsea home , Arsenal Away etc in the remaining games all should be ok.
