Even though the jammy reds are 8 points clear of City i think the derby will still be significant (not the decider) If City can cut the gap to 6 points by the time they host United which would require United to draw one of the three games and win the other two. Assuming City win their next three games, WBA (H), Norwich (A) and Wolves (A) then a win at The Etihad for City would cut the gap to 3 points. Man United then host Swansea who are a danger on the counter attack and have shown their no pushover. And of course Sunderland at The Stadium of Light on the final day who are resurgent under O'neil and will probably park the bus. So if United were to get 2 or 3 points from their last 2 games which is very unlikely then City could afford to Draw at Newcastle and Win at home to QPR. Having said that though, not only do i think United will win all their next three games i cant see City picking up 9 points from their next 3 games. It's anyones guess really, but obviously United are firm favourites and i can't see them bottling it as they never seem to.
Not happening I'm afraid. Mancini has really fucked it. Just couldn't handle the Balotelli and Tevez situations, who have also both let him and the whole club down. Even if United do some how drop points (Fergie will probably see to it otherwise one way or another), City will also drop further points.
Not totally irrelevant... If the gap gets bigger by 2 to 10 points by the derby, United will be champions. Will City provide a guard of honour and clap United onto the pitch?
You're assuming City won't fold the same way Liverpool did when they bottled it in 2009. Tho' we did toy with Liverpool a wee bit more in the last few games just to really **** them over, we have just blown City out of the water thus far
