Now THIS is a song, about our ex striker and Israeli International,
Ronnie 'the diver' Rosenthal (To they dorunrunrun)

He's go down in the box and the fans all cry
A pen for Ron Ron a pen for Ron
The ref doesn't give it but it's worth a try
A pen for Ron Ron a pen for Ron

Oh the fans all cry
Oh it's worth a try
Still, at least he's circumcised
A pen for Ron Ron
A pen for Ron

Sutty gets the royalties on that one. :)

C'MON!!!:devil: :devil: :devil:
 
City are due a big hiding in this fixture but we have to not go into it like we did the arse game
 
Siddy will really up their effort in 'their cup final', but... unlike previous seasons, I'm hoping we will have too much pace and killing edge for them.

Done my head in when City have been poor but we've handed our poor relations a crumb or two from the begging table. No mercy this time please boys!!
 
Our badge doesn't show! Sort this out immediately!

City - Manchester City
We are the lads who are playing to win
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in
Football is the game that we all live for
Saturday is the day we play the game
Everybody has to pull together
And together we will stand
Even if we're playing down at Maine Road
Or if we play a million miles away
There will always be our loyal fans behind us
To cheer us on our way
City - Manchester City
We are the lads who are playing to win
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in
Blue and white we play together
We will carry on forever more
Maybe in another generation
When other lads have come to take our place
They'll carry on the glory of the City
Keeping City in the place
City - Manchester City
We are the lads who are playing to win
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in
City - the Boys in Blue will never give in

Do you all hold hands when you sing that?

Oh shit, sorry I forgot, you cant reach them sat next to you.

Oh and especially for you..:smirk:
 
Hard to predict this game before ive seen how we do against Benfica but i do have a feeling that Carrick will net his first goal for us in this game

Hopefully even should the worst happen tomorrow night we'll keep our amazing league form going and get another 3 points, we're certainly due a home win against City
 
Micke, you have received a PM. Just wanted to enlighten you.
 
Just cause man city are mid table don't mean we should let this thread wander down there. 5-0 united

Shouldn't concede a goal at home against shit teams and Shitty is one of them. :nono: Derby or not! :nono:

Sluggish 2-1 win courtesy of goals from Vidic and Scholes (ghosting into the box and to rifle in a bullet header of a left foot cut back cross from Gaz Neville)
 
Play the same team as yesterday, but with Heinze in instead of Evra.

Got an 8-days rest after the City game.
 
maybe not such a high scoring game. city are excellent defensively. their strikers have also started to show signs of life, so we must be weary.

generally when city beat us, we put in abject performances - if we play to our ability they cannot beat us.
 
Goater On Saturdays game



Whatever the outcome of Saturday's 146th Manchester derby, it is inevitable United fans will use the occasion to make some reference to City's continuing trophy drought.

Last February marked 30 years since the Blues won any significant silverware - something that Reds fans, who have seen their side collect more than a few pots during that time, like to mention at every opportunity.

Derby games used to be a way for United to hammer home their dominance - City managed only one win in 21 years from 1981 - but times have changed.

Stuart Pearce's side may still be waiting for some significant success but at least they have been able to salvage some local pride in the last few years.

Since City cult hero Shaun Goater scored twice to help the Blues beat United 3-1 in Maine Road's final derby in 2002, they have matched their rivals win-for-win in the Premiership.

City have lost only three of the last eight derbys and dealt out 4-1 and 3-1 defeats in 2004 and 2006 respectively.

And Goater, who also grabbed a late equaliser nine seconds after coming off the bench in the return game in the 2002/03 season, is confident the Blues can claim their first victory at Old Trafford since Denis Law's famous backheeled winner in 1974.

He told BBC Sport: "The most important thing about Saturday for City is that they remember recent history without getting too complacent.


"I am sure the players know what it means to our fans but the problem sometimes is if you have so many foreign players.

"They may say they know what the significance of the game is - but translating it is not always so easy.

"At City though there is still that core of English players like Joey Barton to say 'look, this is what it is about' - and of course the younger players coming through understand it too.

"Although somebody like Micah Richards hasn't played in many derbies, he has sat on the sidelines at these games before when he was in the youth academy.

"When you've been at three of four you know what it means to supporters because you have seen the passion coming through from the stands."

It was United who brought Goater over to England as a teenager - but it was with City he had his best days, scoring 103 goals in 211 games to cement his place in the fans' hearts.



The 36-year-old left City in 2003 for spells with Reading and Southend and ended his playing days in May to set up a professional team in his native Bermuda.

But he is back in the UK promoting his autobiography 'Feed the Goat' and will be an avid spectator at Saturday's game.

Goater himself admits that his style was not always easy on the eye - but he feels pride and passion will be more important than flamboyance and flair at Old Trafford.

"Sometimes it is not about playing well yourself individually but stopping others," he explained.

"You think to yourself 'I am not having the best of games today - but he isn't going to have a good game either'.

"The fans realise it. They may have seen me miscontrol the ball but then they saw what I was putting in when I didn't have it to help my team-mates, my boys. That is all they want to see.

"And the game itself can come down to competing, and who wants it more.

"The players should know what it means but it is not about being a qualify player, you cannot just rely on your ability to get you through these games.

"You have to battle because if you wait to produce the goods then by the time you have beaten three men and scored in the top corner the game could be all over."


The key man for them will be Cristiano Ronaldo because when he is on his game he is unstoppable



Sir Alex Ferguson's side undoubtedly have more men capable of doing the above than City but Goater says City still have every chance.

"United have talent all over the pitch and once you start listing their dangermen you don't stop," he added.

"The key man for them will be Cristiano Ronaldo because when he is on his game he is unstoppable but he is the sort of player who can be easy to frustrate.

"For us, a lot will rest on Joey. He will have to protect the defence and offer creativity for the attack.

"But if we go ahead we should not get too excited and if we go a goal behind then we should not get too down because there is always time to pull it back.

"It is important to remain focused - then anything is possible."

He's just come back from five weeks out injured, asking a lot to expect him to go straight into the derby with only 10 minutes football behind him.

Same team as last night with Heinze for Evra would be my guess. Maybe start Fletcher and have Giggs on the bench.

And for the love of god 4-4-2.

I think Fletcher may be started. He has done well for us lately so I`m not that bothered.

Pred: 2-0 Rooney,Rooney
 
Referee: Graham Poll :wenger:

However, we'll win this anyway. 3-0, Rooney 2 and Ronaldo 1.
