The authors have failed to acknowledge the book on this topic which covers the derby in detail (see below0. Do they know about this?
"The Pride of Manchester" Cawley, S. and James, G. Publ ACL Polar ISBN 0951468217
- I'm the main contributor to this article (so far). I know of that book and would very much like to get my hands on a copy. Unfortunately its out of print, and the last time I looked on Amazon second hand copies were going for silly money. If you have access to a copy of the book, contributions to the article would be welcome. Oldelpaso 22:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mini derby?
Might it be worth a mention of the FC United v Maine Road derby of the North West Counties league? Disenfranchsed United Fans' Club v City Supporters Club! Blogdroed 19:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps. It hasn't happened yet so it might be best to wait and see what happens and what media coverage it gets. Will definitely add that matches between the reserve teams are termed "mini-derbies" though. Oldelpaso 19:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Statistics are wrong
According to multiple sources the 19 August league match was the 148th competitive meeting between United and City. [1] [2]. Yet the sentence in the article reads, "As of 19 August, 2007 there have been 149 competitive meetings between the teams. United have won 60 and City 40, with the most recent game resulting in a 1-0 win for City." And then you look at the statistics table... according to it there have been 40 City wins, 49 draws, and 58 United wins. Add those numbers up and you get 147. So the article is wrong twice. --Tocino 18:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Must have been changed twice after the derby at the end of the last season, and the table not changed at all. The one just gone was the 137th League meeting + 6 FA Cup, 4 League Cup, 1 Charity Shield = 148. It'd be a lot easier to reference if mcfcstats.com wasn't done in Flash.

[edit] The result if all Premiership matches had been played consecutively
Can anyone tell me before I have to look up every game, what would be the cumulative scores since 1992. I am a city fan so be gentle with me but tell me the truth. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.176.252 (talk) 11:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
