those derbies never disappoint ... City would have deserved to take at least a point, but since Atkinson and his assistants stole a good goal from Young that would have made it 3-0, I think it's a good result. Horrible defending by Tevez and Nasri when RvP scored ... Tevez was standing in the exact spot where the ball went, but walked away a few seconds before it happened. And Nasri seemed to hide behind Dzeko (?), only to raise his foot and deflect the ball ... "suspect" defending, to say the least.
Certainly looking good now in the standings for United, 6 points ahead of City despite not playing that well ... I wonder how long before Mancini has to walk. Yes, they're still 2nd and it's only their first loss this season, but crashing out in the CL in spectacular style and losing to the rivals in the league would certainly be enough for a team like Chelsea to kick out the manager.
Despicable scenes by some "fans" at the end. Ferdinand got hit by a coin and a City fan made his way onto the field, only to be confronted by Hart and Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand @rioferdy5 what a result,3points! Sweet! Whoever threw that coin,what a shot! Can't believe it was a copper 2p....could have at least been a £1 coin!
