In terms of form, this is seventh v eighth. A Manchester City win today would propel them into the top four of this particular table, and could push United into the bottom half in the process.
Hello world!
Manchester derby subtext update: the Sunday Mirror report today that the feud between Manchester City’s Sergio Agüero and United’s Marcos Rojo continues to simmer, several months after the defender enraged Agüero by inviting the Argentinian pop star Ezequiel “El Polaco” Cwirkaluk, ex-husband of Agüero’s girlfriend, into the team dressing-room after the World Cup victory over Nigeria. Upon learning that Rojo was also to appear at the event, Agüero cancelled an appearance at a coaching session for Mancunian children on Friday, saying he had to collect someone from the airport. Rojo suggested that “perhaps he is a little scared”.
All of which basically amounts to an excellent excuse for watching Argentinian pop music. Enjoy!
