I bumped into the author just outside the (surprisingly quiet J entrance) turnstiles and confirm that he was sober..

A fair summary , particularly the incredibly low key atmosphere which was due to the differing emotions of both sets of fans. I was amazed at the number of empty seats 10-15 minutes before kick off.

We none of us are as young as we used to be, Daz.

Post by: SaddVillan on March 09, 2020, 01:13:55 PM: Final postscript:

City hypocrisy:

From today's Guardian:

"Ilkay Gündogan believes Bruno Fernandes went down far too easily to win the free-kick that led to Manchester United’s opening goal in Sunday’s derby, the German midfielder saying he never touched the Portuguese.
The incident happened 30 minutes into the match at Old Trafford, which United won 2-0, when Fernandes went down as Gündogan challenged him. Mike Dean, the referee, awarded a foul and Fernandes subsequently chipped the ball to Anthony Martial, who volleyed home."

More than happy to claim a corner that never was at Wembley though?
