EPL 10/2/2008 - Manchester United vs Manchester City

This live commentary and play by play English Premier League soccer match today between Manchester United and Manchester City has hogged all the limelight and headlines across many sports pages today would be all about this game as it commemorates the tragic day of the air disaster that wiped out the legendary Manchester United Busby Babes. A really sad day in sports history and there has been much focus and worry on Manchester City fans spoiling the day by not keeping the minute's silence that would have to be observed prior to kickoff. It is a sad fact of life that many soccer fans are not really fans and just hidden hooligans and always determined to cause trouble. Even if you are a passionate fan of derby rival Manchester City, you should still respect the other team, its fans, and the club's history. Especially over an incident as sad and horrifying as the Busby Babes unfortunate accident. My advice as the Soccer Rag, would be to be a smart soccer fan and show some respect to the dead. After that, out sing and out cheer the Manchester United fans, because you know most of them would be on prawn sandwiches.

Unfortunately, as Manchester City fans, you would also need to enjoy cheering your team on in this live commentary and radio broadcast EPL match against Manchester United, because that would be about the only fun you would have tonight. There is a reason for Manchester United being favoured so highly for the game, and it is because they know that Manchester United would trounce the Mancurians in blue. The first meeting in which Manchester City carved out a fluke win was during early days when Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez had not forged an understanding, and even then, they absolutely ripped Dunne and Micah Richards apart. Tonight would see more of the same from Manchester United as, despite missing Rooney the Bully, they would still have Ronaldo and Tevez and the former would want to put behind his international choke job in midweek with Portugal, while the latter would want to continue putting on his circus act of a Mighty Mouse. To understand the extent of Ferguson's concern about the difficulty of winning this live commentary and TV telecast English Premier League soccer game against Manchester City, he is not even worried about having to field a new young striker at 17 years old from the start.

Manchester City would be facing a heavy defeat in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the English Premier League against Manchester United, as they face an inspired Red Devils who would be hoping to provide some relief for the grieving Busby Babes families and fans. Sven has been known to be a diplomatic and patrionising European gentleman from his days as England manager, and he will continue to do so today by providing Manchester United to an easy and comfortable result against his team, since Manchester City are not really playing for anything this season except pride and a UEFA Cup slot. Do not even think about the Champions League, Manchester City fans, for your team would be ripped apart if they qualify and should spend more effort ensuring Premier League survival in this live commentary and TV telecast EPL game against Manchester United.
