Alex Ferguson has controversially dropped talismanic referee Howard Webb from Man Utd’s starting 12 for the crucial Premier League clash with Man City, and will instead hand a start to Andre Marriner.
Early reports indicated that crowd favourite Webb would line up for the league leaders, but news has now surfaced that Ferguson is to take a gamble on Marriner.
Marriner, who has only made 3 starts for Man Utd this season, is a surprise selection by Ferguson, given Webb’s ability to pull highly contentious decisions out of the bag in big matches.
“Webby has put in some great performances for us in the past, but I feel the expectation levels of supporters could be too much for him on this occasion,” revealed Ferguson.
“I might put him on the bench as an impact referee in case we need one of their players sending off or a penalty deep into stoppage time.”
Manchester Derby
The news of Marriner’s inclusion has left United fans miffed given Ferguson’s criticism of his performance in a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in 2009.
“It doesn’t make any sense not to include Webbo,” said avid fan John Henderson, who has lived in Plymouth all his life and whose only connection with Manchester is that he once voted for Bez when he was on Celebrity Big Brother.
“In games like this you want your best performers on the pitch, and Webbsio pulling the strings is as good as going into the game with a two-nil lead.”
“I hope that Ferguson has seen something in Marriner in training that suggests he can rise to the occasion.”
“If City have still got eleven men on the pitch at half-time then I’ll be singing Webbsyio’s name.”
“I’ll be singing it at the TV, but rest assured that the wife will be left in no doubt about how angry I am.”


A stroke of genius, just sent it all over the webb...
Hoping our new rollercoaster gives us the thrill of our lives.

You can get to the second tier from the third, but you can't get to any block you like on the second tier. If you are using the same entrance but are on different tiers you will be OK.

The FA semi final was a bigger game than this, I am not getting over excited about this one, just very nervy of decisions and incidents beyond City's control.

You cant get to the first tier from the entrances which serve the 2nd and 3rd tier.

And similarly, once in the ground you cant get to the first tier from the other tiers, although can move freely between 2nd and 3rd tier (2nd tier bar is usually a better bet than 3rd tier as its much bigger

4. Do not allow the scum's SCUM to be heard.

North Stand were better than South Stand last time. Starting songs we could all join in with when nothing was happening rather than just standing up. Whoever was getting it all going deserves a medal.

SSN this morning, journo "a lot of things happened in that game (the 6-1) the sending off and it wasn't really a 6-1, united went chasing it" and it is going to be a draw apparently.

Hmmmmm. So we never actually beat them 6-1. Why has no one bothered to point this out before we all embarrassed ourselves talking about a game that never happened.
