The Manchester Derby

[0321safc]

Disagree entirely. The wilderness years they currently experience would've been exacerbated as at the time Arsenal were very strong. They won the double in 2002, Liverpool were 2nd, Man United were 3rd and Newcastle 4th.
In 2003 arsenal blew a massivs lead. At one poibt Newcastle were 7 points off the top with games in hand. Ferguson's man united beat us 6-2 to end that one.
No other manager coming in would've carried on Fergies dominance, as it was nowhere near set in stone to start with

Maybe not carried on his dominance but not win a league title in the subsequent 6 years ?

I struggle to believe that. I’ve lived here for 10 years now and I have t met a single person who does.

Liverpool to Man Utd are like Newcastle to Sunderland.

Man City to Man Utd are like Middlesbrough to Sunderland.

I read it wrong. I was trying to call out the idea they hate City more. But you didn't say that, I just read it all wrong.

So Man Ut would miss out on champions league just to spite Liverpool?

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

No, obviously not.

The players don't give a flying fuck who the fans hate more, or who wins the title if they can't.

They'll play for the win.

 

[Mainze]

0-5 City

Ollie is like a shit Malcom Crosby.

 

[Cox Green Fc]

City will win this 0-2 .

Man u have made a bad move appointing that donut ole

 

[West_Winger]

City will win about 4-0 imo.

 

[Geronimo]

Urgh, To quote Gary Neville from a few years back - "it's like choosing which bloke you want to run off with your wife!"

No such luck

 

[willowbankbear]

I hope city beat them , them scouse bastards winning anything is utter torture

 

[Roker Pierre]

Van Gaal, Mourinho and Atkinson won trophies as well. I think 7 or 8 between them.

And Tommy Docherty.

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

How far have Man u fallen?

Yes must be hard to take that .....

 

[John J Rambo]

Both will win all their games, so city to win league by 1 point.

Please god

 

[GK]

Around 2001 Man United were the dominant force in English football, any manager worth his salt would have won their fair share of trophies in the subsequent years.

They were dominant because of fergie

 

[dangermows]

You really believe that Mows ?
Do Man U hate the scousers more than Citeh ?

Without a doubt.

Fair comment
I thought the only “ friendly derby was Liverpool v Everton “

Well City and Utd is far from friendly tbf.

 

[Latka Gravas]

Without a doubt.



Well City and Utd is far from friendly tbf.

Neither is Liverpool Everton, especially from an Everton point of view.

 

[rey mysterio]

City will bottle it last game of the season

The plan was Sven iirc so not sure how that would have worked out. Big culture shock from Ferguson to Sven for the squad.

First time I went to Everton I got talking to a few different evertonians and all they spoke about was Liverpool/the reds

Guess it's called that as you often see shirts side by side.
