The Manchester Derby

And Tommy Docherty.

It's amazing to think that one of the two trophies he won was the Second Division title!

Think it could be closer than you think.

I think it’ll be a Man Utd win. It’s just how football works at times

Man utd will be well up for this one. I predict a narrow win, setting up Liverpool for the title

Man Utd fans will happily see their side lose if it means City win the league and Liverpool don't.

But, like you've correctly argued before, the fans wishes will have no impact on the result. If City win it'll be because they're much better than Utd.

Anyway, once the game kicks off I'm confident the Utd fans in the ground will want to win the game and back their team.

Will be a hard night for the Scousers cheering United on

Not really, it's a no brainer. A point will do anyway

Agreed, my point has always been about what the fans want. Never argued a bunch of foreign players will care. And I agree about the backing. Although doubt they'll be gutted if they lose, bit like your lot when they hardly celebrated goals against Blackburn on the last day of the season when they pipped man utd to the title.

My memories of the Blackburn game are that the build up was dominated by reports that all Liverpool fans wanted a Blackburn win. Post match everyone celebrated their league victory. However, as the game played out, the fans in the ground supported the team and the winner was celebrated like any other normal goal. I expect OT will be similar on Wednesday. Can you imagine a load of Salford lads being happy with city winning because I can't, regardless of their attitude towards Scousers.
