BUS(T) UP
Man City yesterday took their dour tactics to a whole knew level by actually parking a bus in front of their goal for the game against United.
In a sinister turn of events, Andre Marriner was replaced before the match by Jason Manford with Noel Gallagher acting as 4th official.
As the United team lined up for the fair play hand shake, the sound of a horn could be heard coming from one end of the stadium and a single decker blue bus pulled onto the grass. Driver Joe Hart smiles as Fergie looked on in horror! The city players piled off the bus and went on to win the game 13-0 with 13 debatable Tevez penalties including one given for swearing and one for a foul on Jo who was tripped by Fergie whilst warming up.
Uniteds hopes were rocked when Scholes was sent off in the 10th second for looking like he was going to make a tackle and following city's 5th goal in only the 9th minute, a clearly enraged Ferguson could clearly be seen trying to push the bus out of the way with Bobby Charlton and Mike Phelan. Gary Neville even tried to deceive Hart by dressing up as a bus conductor!
He was then sent to the stands but instead of sitting with the directors he was made to go and sit with the 3000 strong City contingent who gave him a 30 minute rendition of "We're having a party when fergie dies".......until he did!!
Despite the result, the man of the match award went to Ryan Giggs and despite the loss and the loss of their boss, United remain almost certain champions, while city yet again flatter to deceive!
