If you thought that the Manchester Derby has seen its most heated days, then think again. I'm not going to dwell so much trying to bring out my point here because the title of this post does that. We all know the mercenary signings that Mark Hughes has made and the fact that Carlos Tevez chose to become a bitter for the money.
Indeed there will be lots at stake when the Manchester Derby comes round next season. Tevez wants to show Fergie what he's missed. Mark Hughes needs to show his employers that he can finally compete with the biggest club in Manchester (TM), the City fans would love to get one over United and the City players will want to show us how balanced a team they are. It's not just about bragging rights this time--that's for sure.
This derby has always naturally been heated, but this is the first time we've had mudslinging in pre-season between the two clubs--so what will it be like in the week leading up to the game.
I'll leave that for September but this post was actually supposed to be dedicated to the comment that Sir Alex has made in the press today that City's Adebayor made contact with United and Chelsea before opting for a move to Wastelands. You wonder how this will be interpreted bu City fans. It seems the Togolese was reluctant to go to a club as small as City before making sure that the other big sides in England were not interested in him. I have to say I remember that rumour coming out of the press earlier this month. It's a shame really!
Hopefully, this post will find its way to Gordon Brown who should meet with the FA about how many soldeirs to use in the Manchester Derby. Believe me, THERE WILL BE BLOOD!
