Why does it have to be either or? Surely a team that has the best manage in the world can beat that team yesterday? Why does it have to be we lose to them in the league but win the league so it “doesn’t matter”?
The option yesterday wasn’t not winning the league and being trophyless but beating the rags. It was potentially winning the league and beating the rags.
I didn't say it didn't matter.
For years our whole season was defined by beating them as we knew we weren't going to win anything and it was just a relief to get to 40 points.
It's role reversal now, they know they're not winning the league and it's all about "the beat City trophy".
But when we beat them when we were shit it wasn’t because Fergie fucked up. It was hard work and sometimes luck. Yesterday it was down to Pep.
Last Maine Road derby, Gary Neville fucked up.
Yesterday in the 1st minute Rodri fucked up and Jesus fucked up. Can't blame the manager for that.
There's fuck ups all the time, unfortunately yesterday they bit us on the arse.
Kev as everyone has said made fuck ups, as did Sterling as did Foden with his chance.
Fact is our manager makes less fuck ups than most as the table and trophy count tells us.
