In the aftermath of the derby, I thought I would take a look around at some of the reaction to the defeat and other issues that are being covered this week.

BlueWatch posts a little up about the derby but focuses more on the inflatable bananas spotted in the City section of the crowd...and one or two other items seen around Old Trafford.

Over at purelymancity there is a nice look at the potential shortlist for any takeover bid, whilst he also posts up his derby reaction.

BlueMoon touches on something that I posted about in looking at the injuries suffered by Nedum Onouha, and whether his return to fitness could see him return to the side and Micah Richards pushed into midfield.

The guys over at mcfcsupporterstrust have two interesting posts - one covering last weeks AGM whilst today their focus is on the annual State of the Game report.

And finally, Gavin who covers the reserves and academy so well has two posts this week covering victories for the under-18 side.

There aren't a whole host of City blogs and sites out there in comparison to some of the other clubs around, but I think there are some excellent ones out there and all seem to have their own identity in their style and areas they cover.

Taking a look at them from time to time is probably something I'll do more often.
