2) Ballotelli said something about Rio's recent murder appeal...
Quite right William, they sure did.... and they've been so spoilt over the years that they could never appreciate what it meant to every blue yesterday. To get that monkey off the back after all this time was a fantastic feeling.
It's not that United fans don't understand it's that they CAN'T understand. They've not had a single hard time to live through, no typical City for them. So they don't understand what this really means. It wasn't our cup final yesterday, it was so much bigger than that! We shot the monkey and turned the corner as a club finally!
Listened to the match on the way back from Scotland, then sports report afterwards, It certainly kept me amused and entertained.
I've seen so many interviews with Danbert on TV and radio in his many disguises :w00t:
Not true Danbert.
I don't think United won anything between 1969 and 1975 (when they won the Second Division title!)
True Swoop, true.Not true Danbert.

The thing that really surprised me about United yesterday was their fans.
To be absolutely honest i've always thought that this talk of Manchester being blue was over done, but yesterday we must have outnumbered their Manchester support by about 20 to 1.
The only thing you can say for them is that maybe their local support couldn't get tickets in their ballot.
I woke up to a text from a mate who's a red saying "well done. You were the better team. I hope you win it." So they aren't all horrible bitter b*stards. Just most of them are.
I guess most of them are just like us. Some event of chance years ago, and they grew up supporting another team, but they have attracted a number of gloryhunters who get pleasure just from goading teams that they beat. And when they get beat, they can't take it.....I wonder where The Heathens is? :w00t:
He's gone to sleep here
there are a lot of Man U fans like me in their 40's who understand exactly what you mean. The 1970's and 1980's were pretty barren years for us and continually living in the shadow of Liverpool was painful. City were the better team yesterday and I also hope they go on to win it. But therein lies the issue. You are celebrating like you have won something. You havent. You won a local derby which the rest of the football world will scarcely even notice. The record books will show nothing if you fail to win the final and more to the point if you continually benchmark success against the occasional times you beat us the blues will have progressed nowhere (if the semi is so much bigger than the final). We still have the Premiership and Champions League in play. Wouldnt it be great if all 3 major trophies resided in Manchester? I hope it happens - do you??
There's a lot of truth in everything you say AJ but right now I'm more concerned with going into work. I can't bloody wait.
I shall walk into the staff room arms aloft then sit down and wink at everyone (Mario style) that comes through the door.
This is our city, this is our workplace, this is our week.:wink:
