I know there is at least one Manchester City supporter who reads this blog who will not have been best pleased by Wayne Rooney’s late goal in the Manchester derby match yesterday.
Even Les would have to concede that it was a great goal though. Meeting Nani's cross in mid-air, with his back to goal, Rooney gave Joe Hart no chance with the sort of finish most people can only attempt in their dreams, then celebrated as if, this time, even he believed he was back.
"I think it might have been the best goal I've ever scored," he said.
It was certainly one which the United faithful will remember for a long time to come and one which will haunt the City fans as they saw their hopes for at least one point from the game dashed.
Crucially, it puts City eight points adrift of their Manchester rivals who still have a game in hand but as Les would point out, there are still a lot of games left in the season so it is still all to play for. I would counter that by arguing that, loosing three points at Old Trafford, might just mark the end of City’s campaign for this season. We shall see – in the end it is only a game!
