Honours
City won their first honour in 1904 with victory in the FA Cup and United in 1908 with the Football League First Division title. There has been two occasions where City and United, finished champions and runners-up in the league, the 1967–68 and 2011–12 seasons. On both occasions City pipped United to the title in the last game of the season, with both teams going into their final games level on points. Three semi-finals (two in the FA Cup and one in the Football League Cup) have been played between both clubs, but a Manchester Derby tournament final to decide the victors has never occurred.

Famous quotes containing the word honours:
“Vain men delight in telling what Honours have been done them, what great Company they have kept, and the like; by which they plainly confess, that these Honours were more than their Due, and such as their Friends would not believe if they had not been told: Whereas a Man truly proud, thinks the greatest Honours below his Merit, and consequently scorns to boast. I therefore deliver it as a Maxim that whoever desires the Character of a proud Man, ought to conceal his Vanity.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
