Lots to love about yesterday;
  • Bernie’s performance was up there with his best
  • Eddie’s save from McTominay
  • getting a soft penalty at Old Toilet
  • the away fans were bloody brilliant all game
  • Jack back to his best
  • our utter dominance in the second half
  • our utter dominance getting under their skin and them reacting like petulant seven year olds
  • our second being a fantastic team goal
  • the mentality we showed throughout
  • Jeremy giving his very best 5 minutes and taking the piss out of Anthony
  • Pep and the players celebrating with the fans afterwards
  • a clean sheet
  • the fact that they look like they are going backwards
  • the world was watching our dominance

A soft 'un? It was a fuckin' stoner. The fact that twenty pens a game go begging 'cos the whistling wankers have been told that holding is ok at frees 'n corners doesn't make it less of a penal offence. We should have had another 'stoner' when Haaland was dragged down in the second half, but two pens at The Swamp. Refs receive strict instructions during the week that two pens at The Swamp are only for the home side.

Hate to break this to you, but his ridiculous schtick is deliberately shite - his income relies on people like us clicking on those videos then commenting and sharing.

So he's laughing at you more than you're laughing at him.

I don't click on his channels for that reason. Click on the compilations that feature him and others. I don't think he generates revenue from those clicks.

Yesterday felt eerily similar to the 3-0 at Old Trafford in 2014 when they had Moyes at the helm. A superior side just calmly swatting the other one away. Early(ish) goals in both halves, one at the end just for fun. I was almost disturbed by how easy that second half was. Think the Amrabat/Mount substitution killed them. First half was more what I expected - City playing the better football but United hanging on and occasionally creating dangerous chances.

But the Amrabat booking changed Ten Hag's thinking and it meant they started the second half with no defensive midfielders. As soon as the second goal went in their heads dropped and apart from Rashford getting onto that long ball they created nothing.

Full disclosure, my dad's a United fan. But he really is a brilliant United fan and very neutral when it comes to City because of me and my mum. He cheered us on all the way during the Champions League run and was actually up off the sofa when Rodri scored against Inter. He shook my hand and said "Well done" when I'd finally calmed down after the final whistle in Istanbul. So I'm never gonna gloat about derby wins in front of him, especially not on a day like yesterday.

But even on the inside, after Foden's goal I was just laughing at how pathetic it's got for United. They're still a mostly good team but it's obvious that they've now passed the point where they can just turn it around and start winning trophies again because they happen to have the right guy in the dugout who magically transforms everything. It'll be another decade or more before they win a league title. The rot has well and truly set in and I don't really see a way back until that Jim Ratcliffe guy has more control over the club.

It may get worse, of course.

Soft in so much as it happens every game and is never given. Haaland is wrestled in the penalty box every corner. Nothing. And then that yesterday. I truly could not believe it.
The lack of consistency just adds to the problem.

Of course it isn't 'deliberately shite'! He's yet another talentless wanker who's discovered he can steal a living on the internet by appealing to halfwits. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he's convinced himself he has some innate flair for punditry.
Thanks for your concern but I'm fully aware that his schtick, as you put it, is lucrative. However, it doesn't stop him from being a prick or me from ridiculing him.
