Enjoyed their celebrations at the final whistle. Made me laugh and laugh quite loudly. While I'm always disappointed with a derby defeat, this one didn't feel as bad. You could argue that 2 of the first 11 would be starters in a stronger team last night, Ota and Nolito, Kompany coming back from injury wouldn't have got ahead of Stones. So we had 9 squad players on the pitch, 2 of which are from the youth team and handled themselves very well, especially Maffeo, who I thought was different class, with Garcia looking neat and tidy.
Take United, set up with the best team available to them, probably played a little better but still not great, questions can be asked about Herrera's challenge for the goal but they celebrated like they won the league.
The gap is widening and that result last night has just blinded them some more. It's great! Never been so positive after a derby loss

what part of full strength Vs 9 changes don't you understand ?? its quite simple really...Brisbane you say? As in Australia? If so it explains this nonsense, being stood upside down all the time must cause all the blood to rush to your head.....we lost, they won, hardly evidence of a ever increasing yawning chasm is it...nor frankly is the handful of points that seperate us, which could well become a smaller gap this weekend given the fixtures.

Stay off facebook and twitter today as it might all become a little too much for you....
Top of the league!!!
This.Ditto mate, cant believe that so many are having a hissy fit about losing to united with our second team out to preserve our best 11 for the important part of the season ahead.
Still a lot of our fans who see beating United as the be all and end all of our season, we have bigger fish to fry in the next 2-3 weeks, get a grip for fucks sake.
No point in sugar coating it, we had the chance to twist the knife but played a weakened team.
It doesn't matter if it was a hollow victory, alot of football is confidence driven. We've just given them a shedload.
I take it you've not visited the match day thread on here for a while.Was at Old Toilet last night and you'd be hard pressed to find a bigger set of gobshites in one place..

I picked up one thing about them last night, and because I generally refuse to watch them I had no idea. Luke Shaw has got tits.
His physique and athleticism for a footballer is like Stuart Barnes's was for rugby
