The idea of De Gea as a player who doesn't catch cleanly is a little unfair. I think a lot of his saves are caught, and if not are pushed well away from the danger area nowadays.

Was Zabaleta seriously injured? Sorry I didn't realise.

Zabaleta is a warrior, any other player (Nani for example) would have required a couple of butterfly stitches, two weeks on the sidelines and a Chupa Chup if they were on the recieving end of that tackle.

Oh, so he wasn't seriously injured, Boris is just being an argumentative sod for the sake of it (as per)

"It's going to be a great occasion, but in regard to the OP, I think the ghosts of the 6-1 were got rid of when we won there in the cup."

Busby i know it's hard for you to type it and 6-1 looks slightly better but sorry to be pedantic it was actually your home game and therefore 1-6

Oh dear humour by-pass

What part of what he said was funny?

Bean and Loz (on occasions) are the only two decent City posters.

ripleyscat is sounder than the pair of them, in my opinion.

Agreed, Boris, when he bothers to debate isn't always that bad. But 90% of the time he's just a moron.

As for ManCityMan, well you can see in the above posts what a plonker he is.

Good call Ole. Ripleys is ok as well.

Go into any chemists and you'll see that Scholes has a whole range of orthapeadic products named after him.

one day 'boris' will admit that he's oldnewtonheath on a wind up. one day.

Wow Ole that guy really doesn't like black people

i'd expect nothing less from a 'support' who sang about sun jihai's dad owning a chippy simply because he was chinese and think that wearing tea towels on their heads is a homage to their owners when it actually displays nothing but casual racism.

Don't know where they got that tea towel thing from, the sheikh's are anything but religious and anyway Muslims don't even wear them.

it is at best misguided and at worst casual racism. as a set of supporters we could not be anymore different to them. thankfully.

On a different note I found this on another page and it made me chuckle, and the way this article is going I need a good laugh!

I'm the voice of reason on here.

Good article. Regardless of the score at the Etihad, I don't think you guys will drop any more points.

I'll reiterate what I have said all season though. I only see it as a good thing that the derby can now come even close to being considered a title decider and I have no doubts that the two Manchester clubs will be fighting it out again next season.

This year, neither team will have "thrown away" the title if they lose - the points tally that both will accumulate would have been enough to win the PL in most other seasons and both sets of supporters should be proud of their club. For us, we have had a few games where our starting line up and tactics were not right and we got punished for it, however this season should not be seen as anything else but real progress. For United, the run since Christmas has been frankly incredible and I don't think people should underestimate how much of an impact Scholes has had on that (personally, I thought it was a bad move at the time but have been proven completely wrong).

The only blot for both teams this year has been in Europe, however I do see that as a one off.

Lets just hope that the derby is decided by who plays the best football on the day. No contentious refereeing decisions, just pure football.

Great post Melton, but I think this title race is still not over and there's a long way to go yet. I think we'll draw at your place really, but I'm still undecided about the Everton game.

Why do opposition fans feel the need to rate the City board's posters, and always on a basis on who you most agree with?!

This would be a pretty poor debating site if we all agreed with each other x
