Last night derby match vetween Man United and Man City is a classic. It's also re-enforced the reason why I supported the Red of Manchester.
When your opponent just scored a 90 min equaliser, most teams will probably deflated and played out for a draw. But no... not Man United. Not especially when Sir Alex is around, we will still attack. And last night reward us for that mentality.
The team will never give up a lost cause. As long as the ref have not blown the final whistle, the team will keep going at the opponent. It's luck when you scored last minute goals to win or draw. But doing that season in season out shows the never say die attitude.
Oh for those complaining the kelong referee adding so much stoppage time. According to Match of The Day calculations,
Added Stoppage Time: 4 mins
Man City equalizer celebration: 56 sec
Man United substitution, ref have to add 30 sec
Total: 95 mins 26 sec.
Winning goal was scored on 95 mins 27 sec. So that was virtually our last attack. And mind those Man United haters. During the added time, Man City have the right to attack us and try to win the game. Not as if only Man United is allow to play during those times. They choose to defend negatively for a draw while we choose to attack for the win. And we were duly rewarded for our bravery and effort. Nuff said...

We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the Red flag flying high,
Because Man United will never die.
"The Red Flag" chant of Manchester United
