Very happy with that. Strongest defence possible with Kaboul out injured, best central midfield partnership available with Sandro out. Sigurdsson deserves to start out due to his performance against West Ham. Lennon is due a performance and I hope Adebayor is up for it.
To follow up on the point about 'best derbies', assuming you're referring simply to how neutrals and the regularity of it being a 'good' game I could see Spurs/Arsenal being a good answer. Liverpool/Everton, Liverpool/United, Sunderland/Newcastle, Fulham/Chelsea and formerly Birmingham/Villa weren't great games to a neutral. United/City has thrown up some crackers over the years though.
Rush said it best though, if you're a supporter of one team in a derby its not about the quality of the game. The tension, nerves and fear of having to stomach taunts from family, friends and co-workers should you lose is what hooks people into every second of the game. No-one cares whether the game is great to a neutral, so long as they don't suffer a defeat.
Do not like this one little bit. Exactly the start we didn't want really. We have allowed Arsenal to settle easily, we are giving the ball away cheaply and giving them too much time on the ball = disaster looming !
