I thought we closed the gap to 1 point this weekend, must have been mistaken though.
Just think, if we had a decent referee against Everton, we could have been 2 points clear.
Not playing well and winning 1-0 is usually 'the sign of Champions'. Winning 4-0 and not be firing, suggests that the rest of them need to be very worried.Pardew said it as well in his post match so it must be true.
Oh well, i will console myself in our lucky 4-0 win.
Not so much anti-City as pro-Utd, but here's ESPNFC's Team of the Weekend. Augero at one striker -- guess who the other is? After a total shit performance in which Kolo Toure -- KOLO FREAKING TOURE -- had him in his pocket. One lucky rebound. Oh, and naturally DeGea and Smalling made it too.

Except Zabaleta and Delph were great in that 4-0 win whilst Smalling struggled most of the afternoon and Rooney scored a simple goal whilst being awful for the rest of the match.You failed to mention Zabaleta and Delph were also in the team of the week. So wnning against Palace got us the same number of players in team of the week as winning at Anfield. if it was City winning at Anfield this thread would be in meltdown as we have only matched there number of players in team of the week. It was a perfectly fair and unbalanced article.
Whatever you think it is difficult to argue that winning at Anfield is a good result. Most right-minded football fans would agree with this particularly for clubs such as City/United where Liverpool generally raise there game.
Just thinking the same. You could put de Gea in there at a push but definitely not Rooney. If it's based on a decent result fair enough but supposedly it's based on 'team of the weekend'.
