out played due to being better. outscored, out defended, outplayed in all three derbies - even the one we lost with 10 men. arsenal can complain about injuries for that 8-2 drubbing, but united... nah.
tevez was slapped down by mancini and he has all the other players' - and the fans' - respect for his handling of the little troll. the top dogs are vinny, hart, yaya and sergioooooo by a mile, with barry getting an honourable mention for his unglamorous but diligent work. and pablo because he's ace. to even single out those players feels wrong because everyone has been fantastic this year.
factoid - united's starting XI on sunday cost more than city's.
i've followed city from the early 90's - i've stood then sat in the kippax, watched us get relegated, play third division football, earn a last minute reprieve at wembley in '99, the false dawns, the bellowing for swales's head. the pain, the misery, the gallows humour, the humiliation... and finally the ecstasy.
