Against the likes of Arsenal and City they lay down like persian rugs, bend over with the lube and roll out the red carpet to their open goal.
We just have to take care of our business ourselves - especially this coming Sunday.
We pretty much have to win that now.
As much as a draw would have been okay before, it pretty much will be a gift to Arsenal with their goal difference and hand them the lead.
Beat City, and let the two of them beat the shit out of each other when they meet - or possibly even draw, which would be the best result for us.
And then avoid any banana skin matches in those remaining games..
The Manchester derby, for as woeful as United eventually were, did show that City are there to be had.
They've had a soft underbelly with that leaky defense, and as long as we actually show up early in the game for once and not think we can just come back from going down early as we've done so many times, we should be able to handle them
