Enjoy derby games more than i ever did ,the scum now come into these games in trepidation and the worry of a proper good hiding , where as we now approach derby games with supreme confidence expecting a victory.
Sometimes it doesnt work out and they scrape a result , but they will never play us off the park and thrash us , we are too good.
Its annoying when they do scrounge a result but i console myself that their local fan base (both of them) look at us as their cup final , its not the Dippers , a victory against the best team in the land and all the world will have the Raggies in 7th heaven and will make their season.
How times have changed we were in that position little more than a decade ago , when the derby game was the event of the season , its still important , but a derby defeat doesnt hurt as much , multiple trophies are a great healer.

Up early on derby day so I can hate United for longer!

I went to bed last night 2 hours earlier than usual for that very reason.

Today will be a clue of how much Utd have improved this season.
I'm expecting a City Win
5-0

I'll get back to you.

Hope everyone knows Mahrez is going to start for some reason

Already preparing myself…

He was only born in 2000. You don't start getting bullied about football until 9 or 10. We were good then. Where was he when we were shit?

True , but his family are blues (apart from his dad who apparently who is a Rag) and will no doubt give Phil a history lesson about the banner at the Swamp and the shite they endured for years.

Probably his work ethic.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I think it will be that, just with Ake in for Akanji

Why would a player taken off with a knock in his last match on international duty start ahead of someone that was man of the match in his (and has played very well since joining us)?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Probably his work ethic.

I'm on holiday in cyprus so 2 hours ahead, making full use of the all inclusive cocktails and found a bar across the road that has the football on. Weather is 36, can think of worse ways to watch the Derby. Come on city let's go for double figures and humiliate them

Flying home from Ibiza today so going to miss going to the game. Gutted. Hopefully land in time to stream most of it. Come on City, smash the rag filth!
