City fans went wild at Mary D's pub near the Etihad - over at the Bishop Blaize pub near Old Trafford, forlorn Reds were devastated in defeat
Red and Blue - Manchester burst into joy and despair as City beat United to win the FA Cup final at Wembley.
At Mary D's pub near City's Etihad stadium, Blues fan Peter Bethune said of City's first: "I thought the roof was going to lift off." There were tears and cheers in the famous east Manchester pub as City were finally crowned FA Cup winners. Meanwhile over at the Bishop Blaize pub in the shadow of United's Old Trafford ground, Reds had started the afternoon full of hope - hope that was punctured within seconds of kick-off.
Fergie, Cantona, Rooney - the faces of United legends look down on the punters in pictures plastered across the walls of The Bishop Blaize. But those artworks represent a different era, and to most pundits, United went into the final as firm underdogs. Before the kick-off, the Reds were already in good voice after booming renditions of classic chants of yore. But the atmosphere was shattered the moment City scored their first with barely a minute on the clock.
