A draw for the Manc game is my preference, that way Man Utd will probably win the title yet they wouldn't actually gain more points than our 03/04 team. I think Man Utd will win though.

Liked Merse indirectly calling Terry a selfish wanker. Would've liked it more if he was saying it more directly. Says a 'proper leader' wouldn't lift the trophy if he played no part in helping his team do it.
And about the Manc game, I want Man City to lose more than I want Man Utd to lose, so there you go.
Have city got anyone who can rival Rooney and Young in diving for the points? Rooney always steps up (and fall down dramatically) in these big games and now with Young in reserve I can't see how Utd can lose this one. Easy 3 points and maximum marks for artistic merit.
Thinking of it, no. Nasri didn't use to dive for us and haven't seen him go down easily. But there's a lot of grease between Silva, Aguero and Tevez - it will be very slippery.
Adam Johnson but he rarely starts.Quote:

Wigan will do the geordies today.
Hopefully.
I don't expect us to do anything today so I'm hoping for a favour.
