Derby post match thread 10/09/2016

[Neville Kneville]

Based on yesterday's showing, United are not certain for a Top 2 spot. They have to battle for Top 4.

I was actually saying this to some blues last night. On another day, that game ends up 6. They were lucky we let them back in, but the gulf in class was there for all to see. Perhaps we will do the same to the other top sides, but we can't be certain, it may be much tougher vs all of them. The media, especially people like Niall Quinn, have bullshitted the rags into top 4, but their performances so far have done absolutely nothing to merit it.

City have been on another planet compared to Utd, in every game since the season started. It's arguable, that Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool & Everton have also been better, in spite of what the table said.

Watching the match I thought Rooney had a poor game, and was getting frustrated. Should have been booked long before he was. Just read these stats that show how poor he was yesterday.

Wayne Rooney’s performance against Man City raises yet more questions http://thepeoplesperson.com/2016/09...st-man-city-raises-yet-more-questions-159854/

I wonder if Quinn still thinks his rags are sprinkled with gold dust? Sprinkled with dog shit more like.

You can't Polish a turd mate..:)
Can't wait to buy the papers, listen to talkshite, watch Monday night football and sky sports news to see and hear the rag sympathisers moping about.

Spurs and Chelsea will definitely finish above Utd. Possibly Liverpool too. Liverpool's attacking play is outstanding - give you chances though.

Important for Utd to bounce back immediately. Sometimes big defeats can make a team realise how hard they have to work, or it can put doubts in players heads.

We all know he's past his best. Trying to play deeper now, but he is still their best player.

United were an embarassment yesterday with their pre-historic long-ball football. They will get lucky on some occasions from free kicks and corners but City ran rings round them and they were flattered by the scoreline. For me, they are behind Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, and possibly Everton and will not make the top four. How long before the penny drops with their deluded fans and pals in the media. One hilarious moment yesterday as I enjoyed my post--match pint outside the Quadrant watching their fans from all corners of the globe board the bus with their theatre of dreams carrier bags. Overheard one of their Irish fans say; "City are not even an English team. They didn't have single player from Manchester in the line-up." You couldn't make it up! They still don't get it do they?

I purposely avoided the majority of the media red-wash in the build up to the Derby, few of the guys at work were asking what I thought would happen, and confidently predicted 3-1 to City ( almost!)
"But how will you deal with Pogba?"
-"Fernandinho!" I replied
United are no more of a challenge than Stoke, take out the emotion of the occasion, and the game will follow the same pattern of the others, and so it did.
So, with no Aguero to excuse their sorry performance. They are left to blame the ref, a 50/50 ball, and a ball to elbow while back was turned, Pathetic! meanwhile Kolarov has his tooth knocked out, and Otomendi' had a better shout for a penalty, yet no finger wagging, or blaming Bravo from City's camp

Didn't think Leeds had won much tbh.

They were pretty decent in the early 70's to be fair!
