Manchester Derby

Last night was a night for all English Premier League fans. There it was the Manchester Derby and the London Derby between Chelsea v Arsenal. There was the ever present pre match banter from the managers with Sir Alex saying that it was the end of the road for Arsenal for after they had lost 3-0 to Manchester City, they were having too much in-fighting, too much unrest in the team that ultimately would blow away their hopes in closing the gap with the leaders(He didn't even say a thing about the Men in Sky Blue probably written them off already ahaha) Arsene rebuked him by saying that City was a good side and Sir Alex would find out in the derby.

Well honestly, in my opinion Sir Alex purposely did that to rile the whole Arsenal team up so that they would get a result in the Chelsea match which would really benefit United a lot by keeping Chelsea in a near distance. Which was executed well with Van Persie scoring twice though the first goal was questionably off side but nvm~ ahahha

GREAT RESULT!!!

ManC vs ManU
It was a great game. I've always loved derby matches. I can't boast to have the real life experience of one before but it was always a trigger for my heart to pump faster. All the blood and thunder will always keep me glued on the tele. Last season was a bad year derby-wise. United lost both games and all that was about to change.

United conquered the match giving City few chances in between. Rooney scored the decisive goal. The match was all-in-all great but the downside was Ronaldo getting red carded. In my opinion Ronaldo didn't really showed up during the match so it didn't really mess up the play when he was gone. United showed heart and stayed strong till the end of the match. In the match Evra showed his prowess down the left wing beating the City defense time and time again with his speed. It was a great game and I can't wait to see how the season will end.

COME ON YOU REDS!!
