The Battle Of Manchester

The heading seems more exciting than the result in the Manchester derby where MANCHESTER CITY took on their rivals MANCHESTER UNITED at home. The game ended in a 0-0 draw which means that both teams have picked up their seventh blank score sheet of the season. Between the two clubs and out of the 136 entries that we have in this season competition, the two teams picked up a total of 92 votes although some players have both teams. So the result was a big disappointment for both teams and fans as City could of gone above Liverpool in to third place or if United had won then they could of moved above City in fourth place.
