Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has taken the mind games with Manchester United into the local restaurants.
City's manager is a regular at a Turkish cafe in the posh village of Alderley Edge. It's been a favourite with local football types for years, and traditionally United players and staff sit on one side, with City colonising the other.
Except Mancini has taken to sitting on side, claiming - according to Red fanzine United We Stand - that it's time things changed.
