Goeter when he pick pocketted Gary Neville in the 3-1 the last Maine rd derby
Tevez and 2-1 to city next week
1. Favourite moment: Tevez scoring after all the rap he had taken from united for moving to city, turning to Garry Neville and giving him a hand gesture to shut up!!! Then he scores again & does it to fergie. You cant get more passion than that.
2. City to edge it 4-3 with a stoppage time goal.
1) Keano's last minute winner at Maine rd. From two nil down at half time to three two up. Brilliant.
2) 2-0 United - Mancini's fear of attacking football.
The Goat embarrassing Gary Neville right in front of the Kippax; walking into the box and threading the ball under the backside of the hapless Bartez and into the net for his 99th. And then going on to claim the tonne and complete his century of City goals as Neville is sent home in tears at half time after a mauling from the might Kippax.
My head says a boring score draw, 1 - 1.
My heart says its all been an elaborate rouse; Mancini shakes off the defensive shackles and opens the blues up with Dzeko and Tevez causing all sorts of problems in front of the Stretford End! 3 - 1 City...
Favourite moment,the 1-2 win at the swamp when the media said we would ruin the minutes silence for the munich memorial,it showed we arent the lowlifes the media wanted us to be,also the scoreline wasnt too bad ;)
Next weeks scoreline: Rags 1-City 3

Keano to put us 3-2 ahead and watching half the Umbro stand/Platt lane jump to it's feet was quality but the 5-0 thrashing was my favourite derby. City fans dined out on the 5-1 but we extracted perfect revenge. I remember being slightly gutted at 4-0 thinking we might not get a better chance and lo and behold......................
Paul Scholes silencing city last season.
The whole moment, the fact that the media had said the power had shifted in Manchester. Scholes put city in there place.
Prediction - United 2-0 City
The last game at Old Trafford when Mankini ripped down our ticking banner !!!!!
and the next derby game when it flips over to 35 years......
tick tock tick tock tick tock.......
United to shade it 2-1 with Howard Webb scoring the winner in the 123rd minute
Mickey Owens "Fergie Time" goal at OT last season that's hard to beat, although coming from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 at Maine Road circa 93 was also very satisfying.
Mancini parked the bus at Wastelands did the same at The Emirates so I expect more of that on the 12th. Boring 1-0 to United
my favourite moment Michael Owen scoring that goal in Fergie time the look on citeh,s faces lol priceless
prediction 3 1 united rooney to explode into action and us too kick on and win the league
city no class no history,no trophies
tick tock 35 years
pod the red hulme manchester
When Rooney ensured that United yet again battered the Bitter Blues, in the Carling Cup.
Rooney and Nani to score
United - City 2-0
My favourite ever derby moment was the sight of 3000 gloating city fans left dumbstruck after seeing Michael Owen's stoppage time thunderbolt curl into the the Stretford end goal and the ensuing wild celebrations. An amazing moment. The bitters at work were most upset about it.
3-1 I can't see city parking the bus after spending even more money in the transfer window
My favourite derby moment was SWP blasting the ball past
Tim Howard to make it 4-1 in 2004.And then seeing all the rags
squirm to exits in thier droves.Classic.
I think it'll be a good derby this time round,our City have to really
go for it after recent set backs.3-1 to the mighty Blue's.
Lets show Owed Trafford the Poznan.
Salrord South Stand (Lifer) 1 of many.
Walking down warwick road and hearing a Manchester accent, a rare moment that i have treasured for many years.
Fans' banter is always great. Like the Stretford End clock or the time the Berties brought a sign to OT saying 'Manchester Section'. Or the banner that unfurled from the Scoreboard End before the 4-3 in September 2009 saying 'Welcome to Manchester' with United's trophy record (or some of it) below it. Feb 2008 is a great memory too, despite the result on the day, all the fans' there did Manchester proud.
The upcoming game, could be another dour one but I think our resilience this season will see us through - 1-0 to the reds!
My favourite ever derby moment was a recent one. After reading hundreds and hundreds of city fans comments going on and on about how rich they are and how they are better than us, with a better squad, and we can only sign players on a free like Owen. Who pops up to score the dramatic late winner? One of the big money city signings? No. Mr Michael Owen. I've never shouted so much, or go so drunk afterwards, Amazing! The resulting hang over still haunts me now!
Rooney to show his class this time round, 3 - 1 to United.
There will be no nonsense this time Younitid 1-4 Manchester City Edin (2) Carlos (1) Silva (1)
I have to say that in hindsight, my best derby day moment was the reaction of City fans when Bellamy equalized late in stoppage time, only for the glimmer of hope in their eyes to be cruelly snatched away seconds later by Magical Michael Owen! Doing something like THAT to your biggest rivals is PRICELESS!
Next week will be 4-1 United!
In hindsight, the best ever derby day moment was City's over-zealous celebrations when Bellamy equalized late into stoppage time, only for Magical Michael Owen to step up and ruin it for them! Derby days are always running high in emotion, and to see the glimmer of hope in your arch-rivals eyes so cruelly torn away in the last second is a priceless memory on occasions such as this. And i'm sure it will haunt them for years to come!
United will walk it, 4-1 next week. We have the psychological advantage! ;-)
DENIS LAW backheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuggie, all those rag fans behind the scoreboard end goal were gutted!
My favourite moment was the way the City fans behaved impeccably against the wishes of the media during the Munich anniversary derby at Old Trafford. The media were praying for us to do the opposite. To cap it all we went on to record a second victory of the season over United.
I can see City winning 2-1 with Edin getting both. We will go 2-0 up, allow Utd to score around the 85th min and then it will be backs to the wall till the 96th min until the ref eventually has to blow up. Then spend all week listening to Fergie saying they were robbed.

Favourite derby moment is yet to come....Tevez hat trick smashes Utd unbeaten record and sends them on a downward spiral, losing to Arsenal, Scousers, Chelsea * 2 and Crawley.
If there is a God, then you know it makes sense!
My fave derby, Mufc 3-0 Mcfc, FA Cup 4th round January 1970, Got Kiddo & Willie Morgan to sign my programme after the game, incidentally Kidd scored twice that day & Willie got the third, Wev'e got, Willie Willie Morgan on the wing, on the wing
My prediction 2-1 Vidic, Berba
Neville to the Goat... GOAL, GOAL!!!
Prediction: 2-1 City! Tevez & Dzeko.
