Manchester Derby - The aftermath

Well....
First of all, a big thank you to all the City fans for their impeccable behaviour during the minutes silence at yesterdays match.
As for the match....probably best forgotten. The best team won on the day, City's players were up for the game and ours were strangely subdued.

After an emotionally charged opening to the game and a heart wrenching minutes silence, the match was a massive let down, although not for our near neighbours whose team took control from minute one and never let go of it, scoring two desicive first half goals to end any hopes a lacklustre United had of gaining some derby day pride.

Before the match it was also disheartening to see the huge queues of people buying multiple copies of the matchday programme leaving many of us dissapointed and empty handed.
On a normal matchday I casually stroll to the my usual vendor and pick up my copy of the United Review quite easily but not yesterday, the world and his wife suddenly required several copies of the programme and were allowed to do so despite the protests of supporters not able to get one.

Now today to rub salt into the wounds, these "so called" United fans are selling the programme and the free commerorative scarves handed out by the club on auction site eBay.
Unfortunately this comes as no suprise really, it's just a shame that these "fans" are allowed to get away with such behaviour.
