Utd v City post match

[moomba]

Vinny aside yesterday couldn't have been any better. From the result, to park the bus, to Ederson, to milkgate.

Brilliant.

It's looking like a city player will win the PFA player of the year award this year. The question is who. It seems every month another city player stakes his claim.

I wouldn't put a bet on it. Expect a massive push from the dipper media for Salah to get it

No you mean it should be entertainment. Unfortunately there are too many maureen, pulis and wee davys around!

Has anything been said about the flare yet?

Funny enough before the kick off I heard the PA playing Hermans Hermits * I'm into something good' .......

Next week maybe they could play this!

Not a peep. The same corner where Bellamy got pelted a few years ago too. Scum!

To be fair to Neville, he’s a scum fan and that’s his prerogative, however soon as game was over he went back to being a unbiased presenter and gave us as many plaudits as was possible.

Yep he said nobody has done that there for 25/30 years. Only Barcelona and Real Madrid control a game like we did today.

I think that guy is actually mentally ill. Feel a bit bad laughing at him.

He can post video`s on the tinternet which is more than I can do

In defence of JM I have to say that his belief in luck and how it plays out is consistent.

He gets his team to park the bus effectively surrendering possession because that is an area of competition he will lose convincingly. As such he keeps the score against as low as possible. He then relies on luck to eventually get the ball and hope his forwards can chase the ball then be lucky enough to beat our defence then actually be lucky enough to score from those limited opportunities.
Regarding defence he relies on a mixture of defensive skills to hopefully limit scoring opportunities and then relies on a good goalkeeper to stop shots that penetrate his system. All these rely on luck.
As demonstrated against Arsenal he also accepts that because he allows so many shots on goal he has to be lucky with those shots rather than use it as a strategic plan. Previously City have been guilty of having many shots but very few on target so last seasons draw demonstrated his reliance on that luck. He also thinks that he has a right to have ref decisions always go his United´s way.

Can anyone blame him even it it were true that he can quote one instance in the game that deprived him of a penalty as being the result of luck for City.
He shows his true colours in relying on luck being solely for him.

Regarding a manager who believes so much in luck rather than tactical superiority he should be thankful that his employers believed otherwise when he signed his contract with them.

Observational post of the day.
