Anyone read the full article? It might just be the headline that's funny...

Manchester United lose shot count 27-3… and still take pride in defeat

Given lack of quality in the United team and their injuries, this was probably the best performance Erik ten Hag’s men could muster against City at the Etihad

It shouldn't come as a surprise when you see the back page of this morning's Times sports supplement. Entire page taken up, not by Phil, but a shot of Haaland's miss! And they say there's no agenda against us.

If you turned on to watch the game after 8 mins you’d be excused for thinking Rashford was a fucking panel-beater who won a competition to play not a world beater.

He’s wank, always has been and always will be.
He’s just got this gift of scoring great goals here and there which paper over the fact his all round contribution is minimal.

He's fast and has a shot on him.

If he gets picked for England he'll score some because we play shit teams mostly, but his most regularly seen skill is just gifting the ball back to the opposition.

For England to win something we need to make the most of the City players and join them with players who at least are familiar with a similar style.

Gary Neville has been taken by Ratcliffe cos he’s suddenly stopped criticising them. If he watched that game & thinks the Rags did well then I’ll show my arsenal in the Hotel Football window.

How the fuck can they justify this?
How can they not say it was only poor finishing in the first half & a fluke shot by the worst player on the pitch.

Rashford had a moment but apart from that was a fucking embarrassment. He had the touch of a rapist.

This is how it feels to be City!

Rags in work trying to smokescreen the result by going on about Erling's miss.
My reposte "80 goals in 84 appearances isn't too shabby now is it"
"Oh and you're fuckin shite"
 
Sky have ruined football coverage with their all in rags and dips pandering.Shame we have no real football channels anymore.

It’s all about scandals and the red shite. Boring for everyone else.

MEN article.

"The goal gave United a deserved advantage at the break"

I must have been at the wrong game.

I don’t think most of them watch the matches. United did ok first half but city should have scored 1/2. The overall picture was one of a team dominating and the other a plucky underdog looking to find scraps to feed off.

I am sick and tired of teams getting credit for putting 11 behind the ball and kicking it to their fastest player. It’s anti football and should be called out for ruining the games. Bored Gary? not yesterday you sneaky wankstain.

We averaged a shot nearly every 3 minutes & they are being praised by everyone. I’m startled how the media gaslights the public that this was close…. Staggering.

I’ve also heard about Evans going off was the problem. Evans went off from being twisted & turned until he could no longer move.

We had 27 shots, 37 crosses, and 11 corners in 98 minutes. Their penalty area was like a pinball machine. But apparently they were compact and "set up well." I know we live in a post-truth society but some of the media comments seem to come from a parallell universe!

That's fine - let them believe that it was closer than it was and that they only need a few tweaks to be up there competing with us. Then we can go on enjoying days like yesterday for a long time to come.

Slimy Stone is currently having a Q&A session on the albeeb football page. My question on who pays for his flights and accommodation to cover the rags pre season tour question hasn't appeared in the selection of questions yet. I wonder why?

In the same Q&A, Stone reckons the ref's error in the Forrest game did not affect the result.
For a rabid United supporter, who would prefer to support Liverpool's title challenge, displays his rabid antipathy towards City.
