We will do what Barca did to them show them up for the frauds they are.Today they beat a team that would struggle in the championship we beat a good team no we humilliated a good team on thier own patch.KK was right we are like Barca in fact we probs are the only team that could give them a game.

It isn't in my nature to get all 'dont get ahead of yerself' but in this instance i am going to. There is a long way to go yet until this squad can snap into barca style mode at the flick of a switch, in addition they also lack experience yet together when things dont go as planned and are having a bad hair day. I will say that the potential is there at the best of times, but what would really make this squad able to take the rags apart consistently and stand toe to toe with barca is when the confidence to play that way is in the blood.. everyone playing well or not.

I believe City can do that and will do it under Mancini, but i'm gonna be cautious and give them another season to learn the tough stuff and the slickness without thinking.

It will certainly be a very interesting game.

We now have the attacking prowess to really go for them at that shithole and not like every other team get beat in the tunnel.

Our time has come and we need to ram dowm there arrogant throats.

Looking forward to it, but I am also in the don't get too excited camp, the season is long, we haven't even completed 10% yet, and hate them as much as I do, they know and believe how to win

But fucl me, what a way to set the first derby, you wouldn't be criticised for thinking it was a two horse race this year

I wish we could play the scum next game. They are weakened and we would fucking tear that paedo's dream of a defense to shreads.

They would grab a couple no doubt, especially in injury time, and we'd probably finish with 10 men, BUT we'd score 3 or 4 past them they way we are playing.

Keep the confidence and lets believe.

the derby will be fucking incredible this year. (assuming we win of course)

I have a thought that keeps coming back in my head time and time again [strike]Floella Benjamin covered in ice cream[/strike], City not to lose a single game all season and break the goal difference record, the top 3 (yes 3) goal scorers and a win in one of the cups!

Nothing to be scared of there.
But I reckon they's be worried.

The later we get them, the better. City must consolidate this fantastic quadruple with Nasri, Kun, Dave and Edin, If we'll get good results on the way the things will get better and better. If we look great now, imagine how we will be after those lads play 2 games every week, together. Wins with Villa, Wigan and most important, Everton and then bring them on.

I hate them

Have to be cautious with the rags ever time you think they are down they somehow manage to bounce back.

Really looking forward to playing them again as im sure everyone who watches the league is.Every derby now the rivalry seems to be getting more intense.The better we get the more desperate they are to try and keep us at arms length.I work with a litter of rags and they have become less and less vocal ahead of the derby, the worry has certainly set in not the usual air of arrogance i had become accustomed to.

United are good, let's not pretend otherwise. But we have the potential to go way beyond that....

Perspective.

When we go to the swamp i will be happy to come away with a point, i think the derby that will matter most will be at home at the end of april, with just 2 games left to play (qpr and newcastle) and i think it will be the title decider.

Ha ha ha, if we did that then I'm sure we'd win all of the cups ;-)

Calm down.

Only a few weeks ago that you were all complaining that they'd ripped us a new arse in the second half at Wembley.

Those fuckers know exactly what's required and have a fucking annoying habit of achieving it. Today they need to win by six goals to go top, "no chance of that" I thought - they won by six goals ........ cnuts!

I'll be happier and more confident with City once we've gone a goal behind to a half decent team and still come back to win the game.
