City Give Reds The Blues
Well, what can you say ?
After all the media specultion about whether City fans would or wouldn't be respectful to the memory of the victims of the Munich tragedy, the team confounded everyone, including themselves probably with an unlikely, but yet typically City victory against all the odds.
I could write volumes about the game, but all that really needs to be said is that the players and the fans were just magnificent and every Blue can be immensely proud of their Club tonight.
As it was a wonderful all round team performance, it's a bit unfair to single out individuals, but Dunny and Richards were simply a different class today. In many ways, we did to United what Arsenal did to us at home last Saturday and played a tactically smart game for which Sven and the rest of the backroom need to be given a lot of credit.
Nobody gave us a chance today and it was expected that we'd just turn up to be fodder for United in this higher-profile than normal derby game, but I think we've stunned the world today. I'm sure the various media will be disappointed about the fact we won and that our fans did us proud, but 'twas ever thus !
Well there you go, we've taken six points off United this season and it doesn't get much better than that !

No MOTM today it was just a great team effort, even Petrov defended better than he has done all season.
The defence were superb, Ireland showed some delightful touches, Benjani looks as though he can be the real deal as soon as he has bedded in.
To think that we can look forward to seeing Elano, Corluka, Bojinov, Castillo, and Johnson coming back over the next few weeks, it just doesn't get any better.
todays performance was almost too good to be true and we made United look pretty average.
Nice to see that Queiroz blames it all on the midweek internationals rather than giving City a bit of credit, but I wouldn't expect anything else, although I do seem to remember that a few of our lads were on international duty as well.
The Blues are here today
That's what the people say
We are the best football team
The world has ever seen
We're from the Kippax Street
And we admire defeat
When it comes from the boys who play in Blue & White
La la la la la la.......
What were those bangs during the minutes silence - have City been blamed for that yet?
The media excuse bandwagon is under way.
The favourite so far seems to be
"It has been an emotional week at Old Trafford" touted by Sky.
Well we know who our friends are after the 2 week pre match kicking by every cheap hack with a newspaper colume.
All the usual suspects and a few more from the dark corners.
We know as a fan base we are special, we turne the media circus preconceptions on its head
I have never been more proud
It's time the media realised you slate City at your peril. It's just a pity I didn't take the 12-1 that the Bookies offered on City before the game.....Me of little faith !!!
City, Manchester City,
We are the boys wo are playing to win,
City,
The boys in blue will never give in!
