10 men City and yet we still had to rely on a penalty to win

We won but we were rubbish, playing with 11 against 10 for almost 80 minutes and it didnt show.

Some of this stuff is shocking. Some people not feeling great despite the fact we won. We've just beaten top of the league. Every single fan should be over the moon.

City deserved a goal. This round should have been replayed. The ref was awful. Congrats lads! Nonetheless we knocked them out. Welcome back Scholesy

Glad we won. ONly thing is City will now still have momentum as they finished very well.

They outplayed us and nearly beat us with 10 men yet when we had 10 men they destroyed us, think that's what the commentators are getting at. Know its FA cup and knockout but we pissed that away a bit. Its taken a bit of the shine off now.

Says it all we went 4-5-1 against a 10 man city.

Most telling of all is that we demolished their 10 man team when they lost a fringe defender yet we lost our captain and most influential defender and still managed to bring it back and fight to the death.

Superbia in Proelio and they know it.
 
Exactly mate, said on the post match discussion thread they'll be shitting it for the league game after that performance, they know we are far better than them and judging from some of the above comments they realise this too.
 
Said as soon as that finished, no Rag should be happy with that performance at all. You get the match handed to you on a plate and still nearly took it to a replay by an absolute shadow of our first team. They go down to ten men part way through the second half and we demolish them 6-1. We go down 15 minutes in and nearly scrape a draw from being 3 down.

Bringing back Scholes from retirement says absolutely everything you need to know about that club at the moment. Sky are playing it as a master stroke. Anyone with half an ounce of common sense is seeing it for what it is. Need investment in the midfield and they bring back a pensioner to shore it up for free. Laughable.
 
Had a look at Ragcafe (bored + sh!t DSL) and am glad to see more balanced comments. Was reading where they mocked our "moral victory" and comments from Vinnie and Micah.
TBH we have more to be proud of then they do. This should've been their 6-1 and it wasn't. Gave it a game with 10 men, Scholes desperation (thanks for that Pauly), and blaming each other through out the game (Ferdinand the worst).
Some Rags think they have the FA Cup in their hands. I'd love to see them knocked out by a "smaller" side.
 
I had a look at Redcafe the other day. I just wanted to know their reaction to the Toures being out.
What i found was a shock to me
I felt like joining just to woman slap them for their poor attitude to their own team and manager.
They had just had back to back wins with a bag full of goals, then suffered back to back losses.
So you would think they would be pissed, but not to the extent they go too.
Kicking every team member, and even wanted fergie out!
I have never seen such an over reaction to two losses in my life.
Some members on there should be ashamed of themselves.

So today, for the first time ever, i kept an eye on both our and their in match thread.
If i cannot be at the match, i at least try to absorb every minute of it.
All i can say is fickle fucking fans!!!
Players that just before kick off were not fit to sell hotdogs outside Old Traffords were now world beaters.
Rooney was the messiah, and Paul Scholes coming on the best decision fergie has ever made.
Two minutes later, we went to 2-3 and Rooney and Jones are shit, fergie has lost the plot and shouldn't be pissing about with Scholes!
Some on there seem decent fans, and know the score. They accept that we are getting better and better and are getting used to it.
Fergies is probably doing his finest work this year, as he just doesn't have the cash to go out and buy.
But some spoilt twats think that because they have had it good for so long that they have an automatic right to win everything.
They were moaning about their injurys, and throwning the towel in early.

So if any redcafe members are looking at this, read below and see how a loyal fan reacts...win or lose!

Well all i can say is that i have never been so up after a Manchester Derby defeat.
I will explain my last fortnight.

I for the first time, believed that we finally had the team to genuinely beat United.
After learning Yaya wouldn't be available, i started to get a little concerned.
Hearing news that Balotelli was injured really started to worry me.
Dzeko's late injury news meant a really hard days work ahead.

But like any blue, we are born with an eternal optimism.
So come match day, i'm still up for it. Then news comes in that Hart is rested. WTF?!
Now i'm really starting to get really worried.
The final nail in my coffin of hope is learning Bobby has gone with Kolarov over Clichy. Double WTF?!

So instead of looking forward to the match, i found myself resigned to a hard hard match.
Do i come on here and kick the manager, players, the dog? No, i just get on with it.
United mates won't want to hear my excuses that this was in effect our B team.
And they would be right! Aguaro/Silva Djong/Company would get in any EPL team.
But the reality is that this isn't our strongest team, and apart from them missing Vidic, we are playing their strongest.

First we go 1 down, then Vinny is sent off. A penalty and a Welbeck goal before half time should have meant doom.
I will be honest and admit i was dreading a complete rampage from them.
That is what should have happened from them. I would have just missed all the fun we have had with the 6-1 thing, but i had faith we could salvage something.
Bobby pulling Silva/Johnson off spelt the white flag going up. But i respect Bobby to do what he thinks is best.

We all know what happened next half!
I know we lost, but sometimes it IS how you lose. We had them hanging on for their lives at the end.(and yes i will say it, against 10 men)
I'm not saying playing well is better than winning, far from it.
But we could have come away from this match mentally scared and defeated.
Kicked out of the FA cup and lost a local Derby. It could have even been a 6+ scoreline.

As it is, we haven't. We come away looking stronger than we have ever done from a defeat.
Their win has actually weakened them. It has more than ever shown how fragile they are.
Fergie was right to be livid after the match. Bobby was also right to be upset.
Bobby only has to worry about a bad reffing decision, fergie has to worry about his whole team!

Typical City is dead and buried people, and i for one am loving it!!!
