There's only one Manchester..

For every football fan in the world..

Never has a Manchester derby been so thrilling.. You have to agree with me, never-the-less you're a Liverpool, Arsenal, or Chelsea fan.

What happened? did you miss it?

It was by far, the best Manchester Derby game of my 18 years of living. In a case where Carlos Tevez literally BETRAYED Manchester United to leave to their City rivals, Manchester City, gave us the chance to actually hit back at him.

A little recap before the actually match..

Not only has Manchester City been so arrogant since the Middle-Easterns took over of the club, but MANCHESTER CITY have taunted United by putting up a Carlos Tevez poster in the city centre declaring: Welcome to Manchester.




Manchester United and Manchester City has been arch rivals for a long time. But there was another reason to watch it, who was the better Manchester..

Football and its drama.

The game started and not even 2 minutes into the game and WAZZA scored a skillful goal that put United into the lead.



WAYNE ROOONEY!!!


After 17 minutes the Reds were pegged back – Tevez the goal’s architect. It was surprising that Foster didn’t clear his lines from a harmless blue ball forward. Instead, the Reds keeper hesitated, allowing Tevez to pass to Barry for the equaliser.


MANU 1 MANC 1


SECOND HALF..


Second half began and within three minutes, Evra and Giggs combined well with the latter sending a deep cross to the far post, and Fletcher rose above the City defence to head past Given and make it advantage United again.


DARREN FLETCHER

Once more, though, City plucked something out of nothing to level the scores. Bellamy was allowed too much time on the ball and United were again ruthlessly punished as he cut inside and hit an unstoppable shot into Foster’s top corner. Probably counted as the goal of the week. But still I was not going to be happy about it.

MANU 2 MANC 2


Even from the TV you could hear the voices of the United fans in the stadium “Attack, attack, attack,” the cry came from the Stretford End (one of United's stand), that was exactly what ManU was doing, it was a agony watching Given save shots from Giggs, 2 headers from Berbatov and more shots. But there was a sense, something told me, United was going to score again. I think that was what happened. Sir Alex sensed it, too, bringing on Owen in place of Berbatov to search for the all-important winner.

And yes! it happened! The goal soon arrived, and it was the same combination as before. Evra won a free-kick on the left, Giggs provided the curling delivery, and Fletcher headed home. It was nothing more than United deserved after a brilliant second-half display.

But sadly, because of some poor defending from Ferdinand, Bellamy and his pace took him away from the United no.5 before sliding the ball past Foster to level at 3-3.

MANU 3 MANC 3


90th Minute..

It was a huge let down, 5 minutes of extra time added on by the officials.

Owen is lurking..
Valencia with sublime energy..
Rooney still threatening..
Fletcher was trying..
Giggs was the one firing up the team..

This is it.. United was really going up for it..
Corners after corners..

United knew they had to win this.. The had the urge to get the goal.

THEN CAME THE LIGHT...


Giggs spotted Owen was unmarked on the left side of goal, a cheeky through pass..

EVERY ONE WAS UP ON THEIR FEET!


OWEN WACKED IT into the net!



Goaallll!!!!

MANU 4 MANC 3


EVERYONE ERUPTED!!

OWEN SCORED at the THEATER of DREAMS..
WHAT A GOAL! WHAT A MATCH!
it was seconds away from its end and OWEN grabbed the winner..

Have you ever witness any other breathtaking match in your life?
That was among the ones that stood above the rest..

It was a miracle..
a God-made-miracle..



Michael Owen..
the Boy who grew up in ANFIELD..
is now a UNITED HERO..

And to City..
I hope this is a lesson to you..

You're mockery has come to its end.
Don't freaking forget who is the most dominant team in the England..



18 = PREMIERSHIP TITLES
3 = EUROPEAN LEAGUE TITLES
11 = F.A. CUP TITLES


I just got one thing to say to the City fans..

"Thats why we're Champions"


For those who missed the goal.. (one of them being Calvin)
