the day we've been waiting for is finally here, well for all manchester fans that is. yup!! its finally derby day. the time to crown the kings of manchester is tonight, well at least for the time being since there will be many encounters yet to come.
tonight will also be united's chance to execute revenge on their neighbours as well as their biggest rivals for what happened last season. the thought of city winning both encounters home and away last season really hurts us man united fans, but the nerve of them beating us at our home soil during our commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the munich air disaster is absolutely revolting. although both clubs are in the city of manchester and their stadiums are only about 15mins apart, their derby match are considered one of the most intense derbys in the premier league. their hatred for each other goes way back. their history of encounters have never been pretty, so expect the same tonight. i am expecting a red card to be shown in tonight's match.
i really hope man united can get a win, not only because to gain supremacy in manchester, but also to keep in touch with the premier league's current leaders chelsea. this will make tonight's derby an even more exciting encounter. expect sparks to fly the moment the first whistle blows.
