They don't seem to be a good mix. I particularly like this in the concluding paragraph...

City left knowing that another victory like that and they're done for

What an idiot

Read the headline and can't even bring myself to read it.

How many Derby matches that we lost in the 35 years in the trophyless years did City morally win?

Answer - Who gives a shit it's goals that count, as the press and media so often pointed out after Utd played shit but won.

Dream on you Reds. 4 in a row and 6 of the last 7, is all you need to know.

They didn't even 'morally' win it. It is laughably pathetic.

Some of the comments at the bottom are good.

Simon Barnes - and Manchester United is winning the "strength of spirit" EPL title.

What an idiot....

and

When will they be having their "Moral Victory" Parade then?

and

bad attempt at satire, average attempt at trolling, or bag o'shite article - i really don't know which this is. The only certainty is that this is why Simon writes for a crappy website and not the Times anymore!

The first two are gold.

City were freewheeling down the hill towards the end, unconcerned about any Utd threat, of which there was none in reality. We would also have been 3 or 4 up, if the ref had not been so poor, and outplayed them when they had 11 on pitch, albeit after a slow start.
