What a smashing Sunday it is going to be for fans of Manchester. Its the cracking derby between the Reds and Blues that divide Manchester loyalties.
There is a saying in football folklore that resounds in every true fan's heart... "You could lose the season, but you cannot lose the derby."
Well, ask me honestly and I say "I'd rather lose the derby and win the season" but I will probably never make the starting eleven in Manchester United with this mentality. The Red Devils hate losing, and the most painful defeat in the last season of 2007/2008 was the one at the hands of our derby rivals, an excruciating 1-0 loss to "boring boring Sven's" expensively assembled team.
With the oil churning "Sheik" on their side, the blue side of Manchester is looking increasingly like Chelski or the Chelsea of old...except for one thing of course, they haven't been winning like Abramovich has with Jose Mourinho... which puts manager and ex-Man Utd striker Mark "Sparky" Hughes (picture above) under immense pressure.
Sorry Sparky but I don't foresee Robinho and gang upstaging Ronaldo, Rooney and the Reds tonight. A close fight as derbies usually are but a narrow win to Manchester United, and that very one step closer to the title for 2008/2009. Come on you Reds !!!!!
