Derby game thread & Team

[Hesperus]

I saw that spitting g incident at the time. I'll bet nothing comes of it. Typicaliy disgusting behaviour from their players.

[reddishblue]

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never felt more like singing the blues when City win and United lose ,oh City you got me singing the blues !!! Off out for a few stiff drinks. Get in !!!!!!

dance to this on your way to the pub

Dirty bastards, Van Gnarl will encourage that.

By gum though, I know we were nervous, it must've rubbed off on the team! Still, it was stephenmcfc that said we might just do it, and we did thank Sergio and Yaya for that.

In the Derby only the results matters and we WON.

4 wins in a row in the derby games for us. Oh how that must hurt the Rags.

[gavin]

Great result and a good performance in patches. We did have a spell where we went back to dallying on the ball and giving it away towards the end but it wasn't that tense at the end really.

[gavin]

Just seen a few highlights again on Sky. Makes me laugh that the rag manager and the scouse granny shagger are going on about how close they were when we should have had three penalties. They were bloody lucky not to get another hammering. Shame that the ref bottled it after rightly sending off Smalling - in fact I thought it was a straight red.

[clevblue]

Mind you, I hope the rags are ready for Chelski, today might just spur them on to win. That'd be a laugh

I think you mean Liverpool next week (v Chelsea) - Bindippers.

I thought the official bottled it with the penalties, also, I thought he may have sent one of City players off in the second half to even things up. What surprised me was the Rag loving commentators agreed City should of had three penalties. Seems like the officials are starting their Rag love fest again.

Scholes says we are arrogant. We don't pay enough attention to the opposition, like we can't be bothered.

Bloody hell, there was no team more arrogant than his before big-headed Rednose left, un-be-feckin-lievable

I love it they get more het up each season & City and its support  still get leary when games are close!

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I understand that Rio Ferdinand has announced on twitter that it "hurt" to see Brian Kidd celebrating Aguero's goal so enthusiastically.

More evidence, if it were needed, that many modern footballers have the attention span of a gnat.

If Scholes wants to talk about arrogance he should ask his old mate Rio to explain why he thinks Kidd isn't allowed to display affection for a club he was associated with - other than the 'mighty' scum.

Rio does remember Kidd played for City, right?

[gavin]

Rio really is one of the most idiotic people in the universe.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Rio's a sly bastard as well, deeply engrained in the self-serving, sneaky rag culture of the so-called glory years. They all sang from the same Sour Alex song sheet - both off and on the pitch.

I've always been of the opinion that his after-the-whistle confrontation with Balotelli at the swamp that time (Mario was, according to Rio,  'over-celebrating' and 'showing a lack of respect' to the scum faithful) was a quite deliberate and cynical attempt to try and provoke a violent reaction from our volatile mad Italian - in the hope of Mario getting a very lengthy suspension.

Even watching live at the time I thought Rio's reaction looked over the top and theatrical. Balotelli wasn't doing much wrong. Rio was clearly trying to provoke him (and egged on by some of his rag team-mates). Balotelli just smiled and walked away. Rio must have been so disappointed...

That wink was at Wembley

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Yes it was. Sorry, getting my games muddled 

[gavin]

The rags have a parade

[Stephen Paul]

Van Gaal is now saying its going to take 3 years instead of 3 months to get the rags back to the top 

[gavin]

He won't get three years to sort it out. He need to get them in the Chumps this season. They need to be challengin for the league next season or he will be out.
