The Passing of the Touch: Manchester United 1 Manchester City 6

Well, well, well. I thought I saw it all 3 seasons ago when Liverpool hammered Manchester United 4-1 at Old Trafford. The score was definitely generous to Liverpool since it was a fairly contested game. Man United went on to win the league that year and had the last laugh, tying Liverpool's 18 titles record.


Today against Manchester City was different. It was not a fairly contested game. Yes, you can argue that with the Johnny Evans sending off, it made it harder for Man U. I don't buy that. Before the sending off, United were on the back foot already a goal down. Besides, we are talking about Old Trafford here, a massive fortress.


It was a real trouncing to say the least, a humiliation of the highest order for Man U fans present and unborn. Sir Alex Ferguson should stand up and take responsibility for fielding Johnny Evans ahead of Phil Jones, and not starting Chicharito.


If I know SAF very well, you may not be seeing Evans in a red shirt for some time to come.


It looks like Man City has the league tied up in a red bow, and it's not even close to Christmas yet!
