Saturday

Liverpool
Another drizzly night, and a poor show, not surprising after the superhuman effort on Sunday. Big talking point, apart from the lack of yellow cards to Liverpool players particularly the untouchable Gerrard, was the no foul decision on Johnson after the sending off of Kompany on Sunday. Gerrard called Mancini a hypocrite for waving an imaginary card but misses the point (as does Brian Reade in Saturday’s manumirror). That being we’ve had two players sent off against Liverpool whilst they get away with murder, and Johnson should have gone if Kompany’s really was a red. Mancini is right to be aggrieved. Dalglish, smirking, said he didn’t see it.
Alan McKinlay, also in the manumirror, said that Mancini wasn’t a tactical genius in the derby but played the second half for damage limitation. Funny that, most people thought we pushed them to the limit. Only Roy Keane agreed with him – Keane has been threatened by the manumafia of legal action if he is again critical of the club! There was also a cartoon suggesting City didn't have a legend to bring back - Arse with Henry and rags with Scholes Erm diddn't Vieira come back with us last season?
How much longer do we have to put up with this rubbish?
