Manchester City v Manchester United (KO 13:30 - SS1HD)

DDC1990

RVP worth every penny.

A draw would have been fairer, but after the Offside goal not given, I suppose there can be no complaints.

Fare play to fergie for not taking off van persie.

Copper_pipe

Ooh Robin van Persie

PHB

Man that was some game. Think City controlled it, and the pressure at the end showed that. But United hit great on the break and I think deservedly won, not least considering Young was onside and Evra was fouled for a penalty.

Outstanding win, 6 points ahead!

PhlegmyMoses

How is Tevez not off? Atkinson is completely inept. Straight red needed.

Anyway, I'll take that. Our 100% no draw record is still intact. :pac:

keano_afc

Mancini has nobody to blame but himself. Fergie bluffed him in to playing Balotelli. Crazy decision. Completely different team when Tevez came on.

Talib Fiasco

Terrible result, totally undeserved but for the City antics; fair enough. Title race still very much alive though...don't doubt it.

kmart6

Is that not what City have been doing for years now?!:pac:

Nemanja91

Justice.

mike65

I can only imagine the Manchester fuzz are really thrilled about this not to mention the pubs.

Amirani

Huge win for United in the context of things. Great game.

Niall Quinn. I want to hear from Niall effing Quinn!!

double GG

Well deserved win. Should have went 3-0 up after 60 mins and cruising. Terrible decision.

Top of the table. 6 points clear.

CivilServant

One of those things, if Clichy had just passed it back to Hart to clear but no he tries to shimmy and loses the ball.

Well played MU.

City will be lambasted now . . It only takes one fan to ruin it for everybody . .

Terrible shame for everybody . .

Far more than 1 fan, as United players had missiles fired at them taking corners too. Certainly a small minority, but a lot more than 1 caused disgrace for the club.

How on earth did Tevez stay on? Ref bottled a lot in that game.
City scum scarring the game at the end.


But what a result!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fairness the first booking was for mouthing at a disgrace of a dive form Rafael.

Mr.Nice Guy

What a game. RVP! RVP! RVP!

Same! On the hole i though a draw would have been fair but was delighted united won seeing what happened to rio. A good game

Whatsisname

I feel the tears coming on, RVP just take my babies

City were outstanding second half. It was the best they played all year

If they play like that from here on they'll still win the league imo

I did the exact same!

Luckycharms_74

Great game.
United always have that resolve to eek out a win. Massive to have 6 pt lead at the top.
Regarding that coin incident I hope city take serious action against any fans who were involved. It's a game of football FFS. If that coin hits Ferdinand in the eye it could have caused serious damage, no player deserves to have that happen.

Well kicking out like he did is a straight red.

Hopefully he will be rightly done.

Mikeyt086

That.

Was hugely satisfying.

niallo27

Where did the Rio thing happen, was he celebrating in front of the city fans.

GavRedKing

Title race is between both Manchester clubs now after that Utd win.

Id be very surprised if we clawed back into it.

Chagan

Brilliant result. Probably the best performance of the season aswell. Bloody love Manchester United

FatherTed

Unclassy by *some* City fans, throwing stuff at Rooney, hit Ferdinand, fans on the pitch. Very nice.

Wouldn't be surprised to see City docked some points for their fans behaviour.

Will I Amnt

What a game, officiating was dire. Should have been game over with the goal wrongly disallowed and for them to go and score from the next attack just rubbed salt in the wounds.
Justice served in the end. F**king delighted with that. RvP legend

A Dub in Glasgo

Great game, disgraceful from the Man City fans

But they won't because Mancini is a clown. Starting Balotelli instead of Tevez in this game was idiotic in the extreme and typical of the eejit.

Very unlucky city lads, probably deserved the point.

ABUs. Ha! Ha! Smoke on that.

Ohhhhh Robin Van Persie!!!!

You still go on about ABU's? Its weird you celebrate a great win by your team by trying to get one up on someone else? We watch football for totally different reasons.

LOL

Why on earth should they be docked points for a minority of tossers? Even United fans wouldn't like seeing that I'd imagine

A fine is a different matter altogether

Better than the 4-3?

I thought united were generally poor, but lethally clinical . . Sort of summed up our season . .

Its definitely the most satisfying result in some time . .

Looked at the coin incident in slow motion, there are a good few coins being thrown, that was just the one that made contact. You can see them on the grass behind Rio Ferdinand. Disgraceful behaviour...

Oh also, where are the conspiracy theorists now that say United get decisions??
Did you not just see United have a goal disallowed incorrectly for offside to go 3 up?

Oh right. They'll go into hiding now...

Nope united fans are at the end too but close to city fans

I think so! Feels fantastic!

PHB

For all the people saying Tevez should have started, he also should have been sent off. Clearly not in an emotional state to play in the derby, and maybe Mancini knew this.

Check what happens in a thread when United are pinned back. Its give and take

Was a poor decision but playing like that will win the majority of their remaining games, which will be enough in my view. They've previously been dropping points in games they should be winning

This poor decision will be quickly forgotten because United win . . :rolleyes:

How can sky even show the Liverpool game, theres so much to talk about . . They must be sorry they chose to show the Pool game . .

You've got to wonder why Tevez is so intent on sabotaging himself. He changed the game when he came on and City were rampant.

Even after he was booked he was still mouthing on at the ref, few other niggly fouls then kicking out like that.

kmart6

Love RVPs interviews!
