Ok folks tyou asked who it was? it was a Man City fan and here is his full post. given the quality of his quote he deserves it. Ther are a couple of others that aren't half bad either.
Enjoy
Saturday was a big day in the North. A very big day, in fact, given the absurd level of media coverage given to the minute's silence prior to Sunday's Manchester derby. You'd be forgiven for thinking that there weren't people starving in Africa, or a global warming crisis threatening the very existence of mankind, for all the sensationalist nonsense about how City fans might react. A hypothetical scenario, goddammit! The Daily Mail, showing typical restraint, wanted one policeman at the ground for every City fan. Yes, 3000 policemen lined up on the touchline. Andy Dunn of The News of The World wanted pictures of our 'scum' fans emblazoned across his high-quality newspaper and the fans beaten up. Other journalists called for life bans, points deducted from City, the death of our nation, the end of the world. The government pleaded for silence, even the Pope was heard to be gravely concerned.
Thankfully, the silence was impeccably observed and it was a fitting and moving tribute of which Manchester could be justifiably proud. United fans, going above and beyond the call of duty, extended their silence for a full 90 minutes. In keeping with the theme, Sir Alex Ferguson failed to give a press conference after the game, which seemed a little strange. The manager of "the world's biggest club™" failing to even pass comment on the 50th anniversary of the very tragedy that defined his club? Surely not. Nice to see that he's as gracious and magnanimous in defeat as ever. Although to be fair to Sir Alex, there are very few media organisations left that he's actually talking to, aside from the Pravda style MUTV.
At least we were spared his usual tirade of bullshit, which no doubt would've included excuses about the sheer emotion of the day, the pitch, and the unfamiliar shirts that United were sporting (City actually missed a trick there; it would've been nice to see our team lining up in an equally smart, retro sky blue shirt rather than the monstrosity we opted for. It just looked like a rubbish Coventry City training top). Instead it was left to Carlos Quieroz to face the press and, as expected, United's defeat was nothing to do with City's performance or Sven's tactics. No sirreeee. Apparently it was because United's players were tired, bless 'em, after the inconvenience of having to represent their respective countries the previous Wednesday. "We believe the team was affected by international call-ups," sobbed Queiroz, conveniently ignoring the fact that the two best players on the park, Messrs Dunne and Petrov, had both played a full 90 minutes themselves midweek.
Before the derby at Eastlands earlier in the season, Ferguson had relentlessly mocked City. "They spent a fortune on those blue-and-white scarves for all the fans and they never had a shot at goal, or tried to beat us" he guffawed, which seems a little ironic after Sunday's events. Interestingly, some entrepreneurial United fans are currently selling their scarves from the day for extortionate prices on Ebay. When I say entrepreneurial, what I actually mean is classless, exploitative scum. Just so there's no confusion...
Anyway, on to the game. City were excellent, and thoroughly deserved the three points. This was our first victory at Old Trafford for over three decades, and Sven Goran Eriksson deserves great credit for tactically outwitting Ferguson once more (his record now reads 3-0 in head to heads). Gelson Fernandes, Didi Hamann and Steven Ireland dominated the midfield, whilst Micah Richards and Richard Dunne were colossi (is that even a word?! Who cares) at the centre of the defence. Benjani Mwaruwari, meanwhile, has already cemented his place as a cult icon amongst City fans by unwittingly deflecting in the second goal with his shoulder, in a manner Shaun Goater would've been proud of.
This victory should give City great impetus going into the final third of the season, and European qualification is very much on the cards. In many respects our next fixture against Everton is even more important than Sunday's game, although I suspect victory in it won't be anywhere near as sweet as the three points gained at Old Trafford. With Valerie Bojinov, Michael Johnson and Nery Castillo all due back from injury soon, and Verdran Corluka and Elano available once again after suspension, there is everything to play for and fourth spot is still a feasible target.
I couldn't possibly let this column go without mentioning the Premier League's absurd idea, motivated purely by greed, of playing games abroad. To randomly assign a 39th fixture at the end of the season, with some teams playing each other three times, is a nonsense and hopefully every right minded football fan will do everything in their power to veto the idea. Unless, of course, City's extra game happens to be against United as those 9 extra points a season could come in handy...
