City eclipsed......Not in my eyes....

[Pam]

To be fair to some of the twats, they're talking up Arsenal's shiteness more than the rag performance (which was a brilliant performance, by the way, but against an utterly clueless Arsenal XI). And I've heard three different people on Talk Shite saying City's performance was better.

 

[SWP's back]

I watched the draw for UCL last Thursday .... they brought bobby charlton out to do the second pot draw ..... the introducer talked about when he won it in 68 and "all the tough times two years earlier" in a veiled reference to Munich which took place TWELVE years previously. Bobby went on to mention Munich FOUR more times in two minutes.

It's over 50 years ago - will they never stop.

And while I'm at it .... Let's hope the FA do treat them like sh1t as their curmudgeonly manager suggested.

Great performance by City at WHL.

back in the 90's we beat Huddersfield 10-1 at Maine Road ...... Our kids were criticised by the press for being naive and disrespectful to the opponents .... there is nothing new in press taking an ignorant swipe at us

Let's hope the players all come back injury free.

Cheers

Thanks for letting us know where you are.

I now re-read your post with a west country accent and it made me smile.

All I know is our away games we have battered the two teams!

The scum went to West Brom and scraped a 1-2 win with two deflected goals...

Home form for both of us will take care of it's self the rags will win 17 or 18 of there home games and I think we'll improve in ours from last year...

To be perfectly honest the Rags beating Arse 8-2 will always get the headlines. Our performance was way, way better as Spurs were at full strength, but headline writers aren't interested. Even Ferguson said it last night himself that Arsenal were so weak he knew the Rags would score. Dixon on MOTD 2 said he expected 6 goals in the game. I don't know if the press will actually say how much Arsenal actually stopped playing....it was embarrassing.

Yeah I had to double take when I heard taggart this morning....We score 5 away from home playing Barcaesque football and all the media can do is concentrate on them. Don't get me wrong,yes it was a good result for the rags,but fuck me,Barnet would have given a better performance.

Long may it continue. Takes any added pressure off us. If the media want to continue their love in with the rags so be it. We can just continue about our business.

Indeed, I was starting to notice how much foaming at the gobs they were doing over our performance and I wanted it to stop, the foaming not the total football! :P

They are raving about City, not the rags. It's all been about how bad the Arse were.

You can't compare United beating an understrength and pityful Arsenal side 8-2 at home , to City beating a full strength Spurs side 5-1 at White Hart Lane ......

Most genuine Utd fans I know were actually quite concerned by their awful defending yesterday. Probably the worst Arsenal team of all time still opened them up for fun so it wasn't quite the great day the media are making out.

City on the otherhand dominated from start to finish passing on the deck playing the right way, United are powerful and direct but as we saw in the champions League final it takes more than that and I think City are more equipped to reach the top level in Europe. United suit the Premier League but football wise it's huff and puff at best.

United and Arsenal did us a favour yesterday. At 3.30pm there was a real danger of people getting carried away by our performance and result. We could easily have woken up with the press annointing us as champions after just 3 games.

Its worked in our favour to be knocked off the back page, more by Arsenal than united. It wont do us any harm to be slightly in united's shadow up to 23rd Oct.
