The mancityfans.net football forum

Well, what a weekend of glorious football, eh? We've had all the hype and now we approach the biggest game in the world. That's the one, 'The Battle for Second', as the Rags own website told their 6 million fans. Or the North West Derby, that great one that Taggart purred to the 2 clubs global fanbase, building it up for Sky's armchair fans before going on to pummel them put of sight. Oh what Derby's they were!

For me though, I prefer to think of them as the 'Also Rans', or, for some, 'The 'Istreee Derby', as for quite a while these haven't been able to truly challenge for a PL title. Even with a hand-up from the PL, none of them have really come close, the best being when the Dippers win it in April, only to be usurped the following month.

After the 'Worlds Biggest Game' nothing else matters and looking at the match-ups I can't seem to build any sort of interest. Maybe the Chelsea or Spurs game, how about you?

I'm going swimming soon, and staying in the pool till the super derby is over.

I want the dippers to humiliate the Munchens.

On a side note, I think I hate Monday football more than PeP..its bollocks not getting to see my beloved team on my luxury sofa with the golf course in the back ground.

Another cup of earl grey to steady the nerves.

Right do we need a draw to win it against them ? Confused as fuck

A draw with multiple injuries and red cards will do for me.

I'll seccond that, with a couple of touchline bans for a fist fight between Kliperty and the 'Special' One.

Me neither, and the quicker they lose the better. I'm definitely rooting for the Dippers as they'll go above them as well.

So much hate. All in one game.

I think if Liverpool wim then we can't do it in the Derby cos scousers could mathematically win it

It's OK, for the dippers to win, they'll shit themselves realising they could still win the title, After all they play Palace away on the 31st

oh well... if there ever was a doubt on that our outcome down the Kop was none but a momentary lapse of footballing reason, out of tiresome fixture congestion... here comes no less than Lionel shit Rashford to remind what average unbalanced shit dippers are.

It's gonna be a long way to Monday night me think

The dippers are awful in central midfield. Milne is a journeyman who works hard but has no pace or passing ability. Can is also slow and seemingly a want away. I can't even think what the third one does. That goal was so easy. Not sure VD has had much impact despite the World record £75m fee.

What a bunch of clowns scouse really are. fuck me.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

The headlines tomorrow are going to be unbearable - I can almost hear the redtop journos wanking from here.

What a game, eh? Dippers look like bottling it but the reality is that the new Stoke have done them with 2 longball, flicked on and scored 2 goals.

Well played boys, such a classic!

Martin Tyler mentioned the Derby and that we could win the league that day, he sounded utterly depressed when he said that the fucking rag twat.
