Manchester City's plans for world domination might have to wait a little longer...in fact their plan for domination of Manchester will have to wait a little longer after tonight's fabulous Carling Cup second leg defeat at Old Trafford.
A great footballing rivalry inadvertently created a great advert for the mostly ignored Carling Cup, the second cup competition in England after the FA Cup. Man Utd will now go on to face Aston Villa in the final at Wembley on 28 February, while Man City will see how much they can spend in the next 4 days before the transfer window closes!
Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson on tonight's win...
"It's a derby game and you like to win them. There was a lot of spice and at the end there was a special kind of celebration. We stayed patient and looked a threat when we stepped it up. I thought Wayne Rooney produced a world-class performance tonight, he played better than he did on Saturday when he scored four goals. Phenomenal."
A lot was made of Carlos Tevez and his return to Old Trafford; again he played like a man with something to prove, but at the end of the day, this recently amended poster says it all...
You off to Wembley are you?
ReplyDeleteThe Glasers finally sold Old Trafford then! :)
Still most Man U fans dont live in Manchester anyway :)
Wish I was Simon; I'll be stuck here watching it on some dodgy online link like I did this afternoon. Through the powers of the t'interweb I was watching it via a South American ESPN feed with Argentine commentary!
