Whos was better?
I agree. City at the time were still seen as a joke. And United were always the favorites. It was the time when you just know the universe will have it's way where United win against the oil money club neighbor, where Robinho didn't even know he was joining them.I made this point earlier, but the story behind garnachos goal elevates it way beyond Rooneys IMO. City were still small time back then, hadn't won the league yet...Today, Everton are coming off the back of their points deduction and that goal just killed the early atmosphere they could have created. Technique wise, todays goal is better without question, he had to backtrack, was further out and made cleaner contact.
Always nice to score at the Etihad.Rooney’s was a belter, boom, to decide a difficult away game to our rivals.
Story behind Rooney's was much bigger than a game vs Everton.I made this point earlier, but the story behind garnachos goal elevates it way beyond Rooneys IMO.

That’s an absurd logic, sorry. Rooney’s was a late winner in a late-season derby against our neighbours who were at that point right behind us in a very tight title race. Rooney is also one of the biggest icons in the club’s history and the goal was redemption for wanting to leave for City before the season. In what world does a random game against Everton in a write-off season, with them having had a points deduction which won’t matter at the end of the season, even come close to matching that story?I made this point earlier, but the story behind garnachos goal elevates it way beyond Rooneys IMO.

Don't agree with this at all. City hadn't established themselves yet, but that was a team with the likes of David Silva and Yaya Touré in it, they were definitely seen as the up and coming challengers. Let's not forget Rooney had shocked the entire club and fanbase by wanting to join City at the start of that season.I agree. City at the time were still seen as a joke.

Robinho had not only joined City prior to that goal, he had also left them again.I agree. City at the time were still seen as a joke. And United were always the favorites.

Touché.Always nice to score at the Etihad.
Nice of them to change the colour scheme for the derby too, not many rival clubs would do that for their neighbours.
