Make your mind up Evra...is it special or not?!

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has played down the significance of Wednesday's derby clash with Manchester City at Eastlands.

The France international claims City said last season that they were in the process of overtaking their bitter rivals but, when it came to the crunch, United came out on top on the pitch.

He said:"They always say that and they never beat us. We don't care what people say.

"I can say it would be nice to beat Manchester City because it is a special game, it is the derby and everyone wants to win, but it is not the priority. The priority for us is to win the league.

"When we start the league season we think about winning every game. We don't just need to win against Manchester City, we look to win the league, that's it.

"If we beat City, it is a good result for Manchester United. It will be normal, but it will not be so special."

That plank is the new Gary Neville. Always ready with a quote or opinion on us.

Just need to pin up his latest thoughts on the noticeboard at COMS.

Oh, and hopefully he will have to take a throw-in or two in front of the East Stand. C**T.

He clearly has still to get over his debut

lol

Well he still carries the scar from that game too ... :-)

Im so pumped up for this derby, just please PLEASE win lads.

Evras a cock

to be fair he is a footballer, so asking him not to make contradictory statements is maybe asking a bit much.

Not many are as well-spoken as Vinnie or Nige tbh. Even Adebayor makes a hell of a lot of sense when you listen to him. His takes on African footballing i thought were really honest and revealing this summer at the WC.

Who is the smartest team in the prem? Hart and Barry clearly aren't rocket surgeons, and Tevez is literally captain caveman, but i think on balance we've got some brainy footballers.

cheers

Not like the journos to make something up or take it out of context...
