Can't be that he just genuinely likes playing for City?

[stokeriño]

Or is just very good at winding United up for psychological advantage.

[Kaney]

Nah, United fans would never be dumb enough to fall for things like that.

[stokeriño]

"Psst. Say something is better than Man United. They will go absolutely apeshit."

[ONO]

On another note I see that Joey Barton is still scum.

It's always annoying when a derby game finishes 0-0. Rio and especially Vidic looked really good, though, so at least we were solid in the back (until O'Shea and Brown came on ). I just hope Evra and Rafael won't be sidelined for long, otherwise we're fucked with those two covering the flanks.

Glad to see Berba look like he actually gave a shit and play well, he should've been kept on to the final whistle. Men of the match: him and Vidic.

Oh well, it was always going to be a draw. Neither team risked it, neither team took a single chance to go for it - not even in the end. It kinda tells you our gameplan when Man United don't go all-out for the win in stoppage time. I guess I should be satisfied with a draw then.

Glad to see Brown's game is coming back to him, he went forward a lot but that was never really his forte but hopefully he gets back to the form he showed in the double winning season and then Brown and Rafael would be two fantastic options to have.

I think we would have gone for it if we had both our full-backs on but with them just throwing Adam Johnson on against O'Shea and without our flying full-backs we needed to refrain. Berbatov was good- lead the line well though he just doesn't suit the lone striker role.

Francis Jeffers has officially signed on for a 10-week stint with the goal-shy Newcastle Jets in the A-League.

It's old news now and not very relevant to the topic I am in currently but still.....

[Liam]

Tevez really is a bitter old knobend isn't he? Turfed out of United because Fergie didn't rate him, and goes to their local rivals. Then when they come to the COMS in a derby game he does something to say "Yeah, fuck you United, I'm City through and through". Just a bitter tart.

City are playing him pretty much as the main guy, and he is scoring a lot of goals. I'm sure he probably is happier at City than he was at United.

Starting to think that Houllier is way out of his depth here. First he insults his players in public not once but twice. He constantly refers back to Liverpool and then tells Carew to stop living in the past, He has three defensive midfielders at home against Birmingham in the derby, and now against a Blackpool side who have made 10 changes since their last match. Fuck away off. :lmao:

Sounds familiar to me. Just replace the words Houlier and Liverpool with O'Leary and Leeds.

[Colly]

Hugely let down by Joey Barton. After a season and a half of odd yellow cards, fantastic interviews and comedy mustaches and haircuts he goes and does something like that. Yes, last night was frustrating (9 to 5, well worth your 3 points last night, but I'm really glad I don't have to watch that week in week out), but theres no excuse whatsoever for a straight punch when the balls not even in play. Plus if the league punish him quickly that means were sans Barton and Tiote for Fulham on Saturday.

Though I would've marked for Colo sparking out Jason Roberts when he decided to be a prick...

[Bryan Blade]

Hahaha that picture is all kinds of brilliant

[Blue Rosler]

Bah, I was racing here to present The Sun's take on the anal fisting incident.

[Colly]

Question is wheres Tevez's 3 match ban? I'd rather be punched in the chest than my anus, though Rio may think otherwise.

[Summers]

Don't get the Ged hate. Giving the kids a chance, and they're playing really well. Give him time to build his team, sign some players, and actually have a full squad to pick from.

[Hobo]

Villa 2-0 up! Nice counter by them for the second!

[stokeriño]

I am rediscovering my love for Aston Villa.

But seriously...United go a goal down, and as part of their response they take off Hernandez for Obertan.

What.

(Edit: Oh sorry, maybe it was Berbatov who technically went off for Obertan. Also, 2-1. Shit.)

[Hobo]

And 2-1 now. Macheda scores, but until they were 2-0 down Utd hadn't had a shot on target

[Sam]

VIDICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

XD

[stokeriño]

2-2. Oh for fuck sake.

If you throw this away, you're dead to me Villa.

Vidic should be sent off with a second booking, but he won't because that doesn't happen to Manchester United.
