FA cup fever gripped Manchester when City took on United at Wembley in an historic semi-final showdown.
An estimated 60,000 fans travelled to London to cheer on the Reds and the Blues at the sell-out game and many thousands more will watched back home on TV.
The MEN's team of journalists travelled down to London and you can follow their progress via our live blog.
Journalist John Scheerhout made the trip with a coachload of United fans while sports news reporter Mike Keegan travelled with City supporters. We monitored their progress down the M6 with a live geotracking map on this page.
Here is the location of Mike Keegan, who is with Manchester City fans:
And this is where John Scheerhout has got to, travelling with Manchester United supporters.

Come on you Blues. Put the Big Mouths in their place!!!
I'll be setting off at around 5pm, luckily I only live around the corner. Cant wait.
Predicting MU 3 : City 2
Come on you Reds. Put the Big Wannabes in their place!!!
Just seen 5 city coaches and 1 man u coach travelling on the M6 near thelwall viaduct.
C,MON CITY THIS IS THE DAY
Today will be the beginning of the end of City's season.
Another season without a trophy, another 5th place finish.
you blues are at it already according to mancini and co you have won this match before a ball is kicked, in fact according to the great mancini you have won next seasons title........ you never ever learn so quick to shout so quick to boast, where as down the road united are quiet no boasting no big claims they dont have to they have learned in all there success that its true pride comes before a fall, better to respect your opponents and quietly do the bussness on the pitch, you guys i think all your boasting and mad claims are borne from a real fear you are going to fail,confidence doesnt equal boastings, so noisey neighbours carry on with your boastings shout from the roof tops how your going to turn us over then united will queitly teach you a lesson and take your dream away. some of you have turned on tevez saying he doesnt want to play he has done nothing last seven games,how disrespectful tevez is the reason why your where you are with out him you would be mid table show some respect if thats possible for you lot
came on city!!!came on city!!!!!i'm big fan from italy and i say we must absolutely win this game for to do think to man utd that man city has come back the same of middle 1960 and also better because today we are the richest club in the world.i love manchester and manchester is blue!!! came on city!!!!!
Come on City, you owe me this after 50 years of support. I'll be sat in the Spanish Sunshine gripping a large San Miguel, City shirt on, flag flying. And my youngest son is keeping the family support by being pitchside working, Big chance he could lose his job if City win, god knows how he'll be able to control himself!!!!!!!! CTID Forever blue.
For anyone wondering why the United coach on the map is taking the detour to Worcester, it's to pick up some fans. Btw, nice to see City's coach icon on the map being the old red rose badge.
simple tactic today lads,mark giggs and they are snookered,he's the play maker without looney in,without him there is no threat,de jong do your stuff,take no prisoners
On the way down now .. Come on city ! .. It is our Destiny !
Even i'm excited and i support Liverpool.
Wake me up when it's over.
I feel CITY will just turn it on today. Good Luck to all the CITY players and the CITY fans.
TO DAZ SMITH AND THE LADS.....SHOUT TILL YA CANT SHOUT ANYMORE..30,000 POZNANS SOUNDS GOOD TO ME...HAHA GOOD LUCK.
Surely an environmental farce - 60,000 people travelling from Manchester to London & back
to watch a football match , which should be played locally : how green is that ?
comments and puntation please, speeling too would help.
35 Years and counting !
35 YEARS 35 YEARS !
Come on City give it your all and attack United because its the only way to play against them, and by doing so will give you a much better chance.
Remember the Reds never give up so 100% consentration is required for the whole match.
Apart from Tevez we should be at full strength so I wouldnt say we were underdogs
Lets hope for a great game between the two Manchester clubs and make our supporters proud.
WHatever the outcome on the day , or days, we can be sure there will be a club with the name MANCHESTER in ths years final
Oh no Kolarov is playing!!!!!!!!!!!
the only cups at the city grounds are the ones that hold tea
