United's third away game in 8 days is at the Wastelands. Manchester City have certainly proved themselves as formidable opponents for United in the past few seasons--hence adding more heat to a derby that needs no introduction.
The bitters did beat us last season home and away but all that was forgotten as United went on to have one of the most succesful seasons in the club's history. It must have hurt them, seeing us lift another European Cup and winning the league for a 17th time.
Forget last season, this season, the derby takes on a whole new meaning! Apparently, the arrival of Abu Dhabi has certainly given Manchester's rent boys hope of becoming the bigger team in Manchester. What a sorry lot they are!
Then there is the bit of landing one of the world football's best players in Robinho on the last day of the transfer market. It certainly has helped them as they are leading the bottom half of the table! HA HA HA !
Dimitar Berbatov senstionally chose to play for the red-half at the last minute instead of joining City. It was certainly a kick in the teeth for them--and how I would love it if the Bulgarian sticks one in the back of the net.
A lot has already been said ahead of this clash so I'll spare the verbal diarrhoea for now. What United do need though is a win that will see us pull away fro the immediate pack below us and move closer to the top two.
The other news coming out today is that we have secured a work permit for Torsc(sp). It's good to see that Fergie is still investing in this club--one wonders if he'll really quit in a couple of years as he claims. Chao!
