The Manchester Derby
Posted by MrRadio on 10 November 2010 - 9:55am.
United have a virus could work to City's advantage but United beat City in the league twice last season, the way things are in the league this is probably the biggest derby since the late 60's.
Any thoughts ?

What I have noticed...
...is that photo editors are very fond of showing Roberto Mancini - and his terrific Roman nose - in profile. Once again in the Guardian online this morning.
I hope they both lose

Says there's 'more at stake' than any other derby in the 116 years of Manc derbies... Dennis Law may disagree re the 1974 derby. Blinkered premiership journos.
Did they have football back then ?
Piggin' football!
I thought the headline was referring to a horse race.
Man City
will win, simply because Man U have so many crocked or ill players. I don't think this derby is that significant because teams are dropping points all over the place at the moment. Very open league this season.
Interesting thought....
...but a statistical model which we have at work suggests that the Premier League is anything but open this season. We can predict the final table on this basis and we have Chelsea and Manchester United 12 points clear of the rest. Manchester City will be battling it out for fourth place with Liverpool.
This is basically what the same model predicted before the season began.
I don't have a vested interest.
But I fancy Roberto Mancini and I'd like to untie that scarf of his. So let's say City.
I should be a MOTD pundit with that tactical insight, shouldn't I?
I've no doubt you'd get on very well
with Gary Lineker.
To be fair
it's no less insightful than any thought Alan Shearer has ever put into the public domain.
Currently watching live on my laptop via...
...the dodgy www.myp2p weblink. I'm a United fan so a draw would suit me just fine. But watch us in injury time. You never know what might happen.
