Continuing their preseason tradition of a Community Shield match to raise funds for charity partners, the Seattle Sounders today announced that their opponent in the Feb. 29 7 PM match will be Jaguares de Chiapas of the Mexican Primera. In a new twist, the match will be free and seating on a first-come, first-serve basis, but the club will be accepting donations at the door.

Now with a stunning 1-1 draw in the books against the Vancouver Whitecaps the Seattle Sounders announced five preseason scrimmages in their "Florida" phase of training. Florida in quotes because the key note match will be against Atlante FC behind closed doors in Cancun, Mexico on February 22nd at 4PM Pacific.

The subtext was Luis Suarez watching from the stand with Patrice Evra getting booed by the Anfield crowd and all the lovely chanting between the two sets of fans about the existence of racism. At the end, the Reds had the greater satisfaction of beating Utd, the second Manchester club to suffer at their hands in three days.

Wayne Rooney started United's Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea with a bang, putting us 1-0 up with less than 25 minutes played. A great spot from Carrick to find Giggs, a wonderful first touch from Giggs to beat his man, before Rooney opened his body up perfectly to slot the ball past Cech.

Confirmation of the live televised matches for the Third Round of the FA Cup came early this year, and while there was no great shock in the Manchester derby a match which has, arguably, taken on a heightened level of importance given the events in the Champions League last night, even if it still isn't the main even of either teams season it was a little surprising to see that the decisions were taken by both ITV and ESPN before next weeks Second Round replays had even been played.

There are Arsenal legends. And then again there are proper Arsenal legends. For most of us Patrick Vieira sits comfortably in the second catergory. From Shite Hart Lane to (Very) Old Trafford he was a steam engine of a player. Strength, passion, craft, guile, he had the lot and regularly delievered these qualities as a red and white colossus.

Speaking to the official site, Phil Jones has revealed that his favourite moment at United was our win against City in the Community Shield.

United went in 2-0 down at half time but came back to win 3-2, with Nani scoring the winner in the fourth minute of injury time.

Jones has revealed that before he joined the club, he used to hate it that United always scored last minute goals, but now he loves it.

By losing the round 6 match to CF Monterrey Rayados the Seattle Sounders put themselves into circumstances where they could only face a Group Stage winner. Today's draw has Seattle hosting Santos Laguna in the two leg aggregate series (away goal rule) of the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals.

There are bad days, and there are really bad days. Yesterday was one of those days for United and United supporters, with the embarrassment of embarrassments at Old Trafford.

Losing to City is one thing, but losing 6-1 to City, at home no less, and losing to City in the manner that it all unfolded, makes it even harder to swallow.

Video special: Fergie's worst days at the office six Manchester United defeats that left Sir Alex red-faced

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson described today's 6-1 home rout at the hands of Manchester City as "our worst ever day". Stunned Ferguson: 'It's the worst result in my history, ever' Here are six other league matches which did not go to plan for him and the team which eventually won the title.

I'm not sure if I can remember a day when I have felt so gutted by a result as I did today following Man City's 6-1 thrashing of Derby rivals Man Utd at Old Trafford. The only memories that come close take me back to 1978, when as a loyal Stretford Ender standing in the cold and the rain, I witnessed 5-3 and 3-0 thrashings by both West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool respectively within the space of 3-4 days around Christmas time.

Well, none of us expected that and, such was the imperiousness of Manchester City's performance at Old Trafford this afternoon the thesauruses have already been wrung dry as the internet groans under the weight of the superlatives being thrown at Roberto Mancini's team. This was a performance for the ages, one which will come to eclipse some of the club's most famous performances against Manchester United, such as their 5-1 win at Maine Road in 1989 or their win at Old Trafford on the last day of the 1973/74 season.

A double from Mario Balotelli, Edin Dzeko and solo goals from Sergio Aguero and David Silva saw Manchester City crush Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford in an unbelievable Premier League encounter.

One of the few good things that have come from Manchester City's new found wealth, other than their club genuinely aspiring to be and have everything their fans have criticised United for over the past two decades, is Sir Alex Ferguson taking the derby seriously again.

For too long, whilst City were total shite, the manager seemed to lead our players in to that game without the respect required for one of the most important days of the season for the fans.

In The Stands looks ahead to the first Manchester derby of the season as Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford. Our crystal balls are out!

The Manchester derby is here, the second one this season after the community shield clash between the two teams in which De Gea made his debut and Nani foiled the alien in the blue kit Vincent Kompany's plans to take over the world by running rings around him ,finishing beautifully and winning it for the reds.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has stoked up the flames ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby by telling United fans that they cannot wind him up. Let the mind games begin! Sunday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford is perhaps the biggest yet with both clubs separated by just two points at the top of the table.

Payback – August 7 2011 must still loom large in Manchester City's head when things took a turn for the worse after the first half of the Community Shield. Manchester City held a commanding 2-0 lead but goals by Smalling ...

Rafa Benitez has revealed that he would be open to returning to Liverpool with the manager claiming that should Kenny Dalglish leave the post, he will wait on the Reds' call to take the job back.
Benitez managed the Anfield club to a Champions League victory, as well as an FA Cup, Community Shield and Super Cup.

When Manchester United signed 20-year-old goalkeeper David de Gea for £20m you could more or less predict what was going to happen. His first mistake would be magnified, he'd get ripped apart in the press and would be under the spotlight from then on.

So, the script had been written and de Gea complied, letting in two soft goals against City at the Community Shield at Wembley.

Looks like a new name for a new season.
The AFC said that the new Indonesian season must kick off 15 October at the latest or Indonesian teams would be banned from Asian club competition. Well, the season does kick off 15 October...with one game! Persib against Semen Padang.
No Community Shield this year.

Michael Regan/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) This Past January Manchester City made a move that many people believed would be one of the best they had made since their overhaul began. Their move was the £27 million signing of VfL Wolfsburg star Edin Dzeko.
Dzeko had torn up the Bundesliga for the past three seasons with Wolfsburg scoring 85 goals in only 135 league appearances.

There was once a day where many United fans were prepared to say that they were wrong. Many had remarked before the season that the team "didn't have a central midfield" and would therefore not go very far in their quest to be the best side in the world. However, it was after they had swept aside Arsenal 8-2 in August where plenty were brimming with unrivalled optimism, and even despite the worrying lack of depth in the position, were at least adamant that both Tom Cleverley and Anderson made a fearsome duo.

Imagine a time when Arsenal had a decent back four –

HA.

No, not ‘The Invincibles" – they were a pale shadow of the 1998/99 quartet that stood as a brick wall. In front of Seaman roamed Adams, Dixon, Keown and Winterburn – together they allowed a miserly 17 goals, thirteen less than the next best record that season.

Each year before the start of the season, Manchester United hold an open training session at Old Trafford.

Old faces meet again as Liverpool head to Stoke

Craig Bellamy made his Liverpool debut, first time round, in a Champions League qualifier at Anfield in 2006. It was a scoring debut, his 33 rd minute goal helping Liverpool to victory in that first leg and setting the club on the road to the final in Athens nine months later.

Despite being just 20 years of age David De Gea has shown maturity in recent weeks that bodes well for his future at Old Trafford.

The former Atletico Madrid keeper has not had the best of starts to his time at Old Trafford. In the first live football of the season, the Community Shield, he was to blame for both of Manchester City's goals.
