We`re also called Berties something else I couldn`t give a shit about. Seriously !But fans of other teams use is in a derogatory manner to take the piss or put us down.

Funny observation to make of the localised accent of both apparent clubs..............Bruno, Martínez, Garnacho, and Mainoo didn’t play a game in pre-season! Out of our back 4 yesterday, only Dalot and Martinez would be considered as starters. Furthermore, Martinez played out of position(played as an LB). Adding to that we played without a striker, hence the wastefulness in front of goal.
I’m not proclaiming “United are back,” but we have massively improved in the last 2 games against Citeh (this was arguably a better game than the FA final we won against you lot, with your team at full strength, btw), and there’s reason to believe we will continue doing so.
The patterns of play between the United players yesterday were impressive. Not long ago, City would walk through our side, and we, more often than not, knew we would be beaten when playing you guys. I don’t have that feeling anymore. That’s a massive improvement in my books.

We've owned this for years. I don't know a single City fan who objects to being called a Bert.We`re also called Berties something else I couldn`t give a shit about. Seriously !

Stability in the top half I would have thought..........What are your expectations for the season?

I agree - you've gone from a 3 to a 4 out of 10.That’s a massive improvement in my books.
Without your mates that would be a 2 to a 3.
Keep the faith.

The best thing that they could do if they wanted to give Pep the sense that it's job done and perhaps time to move is to blow smoke up our arses the way they do with the rags and the cartel twats.The press are actually our ally. The more they wax lyrical about United the better..
The best thing that they could do to give Pep the sense that he has unfinished business is to continue to treat the Club unfairly and to continue to denigrate our incredible achievements.
Keep up the good work media friends.
Honestly, I went in expecting us to get chewed up. Came away seeing us build up well, hold a formation, stayed in shape, scored the opener, and created opportunities that a proper no. 9 could live off. The one twos we played and the crisp passing at times were truly an improvement. I think there's definitely potential to this team.With De Ligt and Mazraoui already in, maybe Ugarte or another midfielder and this team is in a better place than we've been in a long time. The foundations are growing strong.
All I’m saying is the past two consecutive games against you lot has me seeing you in a different light. I no longer feel like we’d be run rugged. I actually enjoy playing you a lot more, which isn’t something I or other United fans would have said in the the past few seasons.

Hats off for being a good sport! Never want to see us lose to City, but under the circumstances this is very positive. Honestly, I went in expecting us to get chewed up.

The foundations are growing strong. I’m totally looking forward to other derby matches this season. Bring it on!We were still pissed from celebrating the league (although I'll tip my hat and say you deserved to win it) in the F.A. Cup and yesterday was still pre season for us with a load of kids in midfield. When it matters you'll be 11 men behind the ball trying to hit us on the break again let's not kid ourselves here ha!

I`m just glad I`ve got thicker skin than some.But that might be down to Guinness beer gut. ;)We've owned this for years. I don't know a single City fan who objects to being called a Bert.
