Man City 3 The Scum 1
Posted: 14/01/2006 - 21:02
As you can imagine, I'm still in a state of total happiness and delirium.
The Manchester derby is not just another game of football, it's bragging rights for the rest of the season locally (even if most of Man U's fans are in London or Singapore there's still a few round here) and I'm just so proud of City and the way that they destroyed The Scum today.
First half hour was a bit tense, but then as the ball was headed out of the Scum defence Stephen Ireland sent a gorgeous ball into the path of Trevor Sinclair, and he smashed it into the bottom corner. 1-0. Come on!
After David James made an excellent save from Shrek (Rooney) City went forward, and Sinclair headed a ball on, Andy Cole controlled it well and it went to Darius Vassell. After their defender Silvestre decided he didn't want to clear it Vassell just turned and slotted it into the bottom left corner, and 2-0.
I didn't want the first half to end, we could have scored another and I was just so happy to see the blue shirted heroes doing the business.
Second half they came at us, and took their rubbish new signing Evra off (Sinclair had him in his pocket) and tried to mix things up. Shrek had already been booked for whinging at the ref (he obviously learnt that from Ferguscum) and after a superb tackle from Stephen Jordan to stop Christiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo decided it wasn't fair and so went in two footed on Andy Cole. Cole jumped to miss the tackle (good job he did!) and the ref decided the intent was there to deliberately injure Cole and sent the gay boy Ronaldo off. Result!
Even with van Nistelcheat scoring to make it 2-1 and a nervy last fifteen minutes, we kept it tight and could have scored - if only Vassell had seen Sinclair free. Then we cleared the ball, Ireland sent a lovely ball over to Vassell, who ran past the area diagonally, cut it back for the sub Robbie Fowler and he struck it like the Fowler of old giving van der Sar no chance in hell. 3-1 deep into stoppage time and that's the result done.
What I especially loved is that on Sky Sports News later I saw the cameras focus on Stuart Pearce after the third goal, and he ran to the City fans to share their joy and was mobbed by them chanting "Psycho! Psycho!" Fantastic stuff. He certainly got them motivated today, the tactics were spot on, and Ireland played a blinder, almost shading man of the match Sinclair in the midfield.
And we've virtually killed off their title hopes too. Result, big time. See, this is why the likes of Paul, Neil, Dan and me love footy. For moments like this where the sheer joy and happiness is so wonderful. Sinclair actually said before the game scoring in a derby game against the Scum is better than sex. I hope his wife gets the man of the match champagane as he'll be in the doghouse tonight LOL!!!
