Who the fuck is Alice?

Do you mean:
Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice?
We should give her her own song.

Absolutely right and in the last part of last season and now this, it seems to me he is making more important saves

I agree, he has stepped up shot saving. Was brilliant in the CL final.
And that dink/chip into midfield is just superb.

I don’t know why this win felt so good compared to many others and despite the fact that City were clear favo(u)rites. I think the comments by that prick what’s his name talking about no City shirts in Manchester had something to do with it. First of all, who the fuck are you? And second, I can tell you where there are more City shirts than Utd shirts — in Old Trafford at about minute 82, bitch.

Every Derby they wheel someone out to say so like that, it’s a sign of weakness and fear, they know they can’t do the talking on the pitch

Secret city fan lol

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Did anyone count the passes for our goal?

Sir Bobby will always be England's greatest. Shame Denis's health means he couldn't attend. As a kid I saw all those older legends in their prime. And what about Buzzer - he looks to be still capable of launching a football.

In the 60s/early 70s - our players and theirs used to socialise together after games. Treasure them.

There used to be an annual City v United golf match, and a few times a cricket match.

The cricket matches were at Lacashire's ground. They were good fun as City had some players who could play. They ended when rag fans invaded the pitch when the rag's bowlers were being tonked for boundaries ball after ball. Don't remember precisely but think Frannie was the main culprit. Lancashire wouldn't allow another game on their Old Trafford ground after the invasion.

Yes, Franny was decent and the Nevilles could play. I think Phil had an offer from Lancs to join their youth side.
There were a few players in the old days who played football and cricket professionally: Compton, Sidebottom, Neal, Balderstone, Andy Goram, and more. Memory tells me that Compton scored for Arsenal and played county cricket for Middlesex on the same day.
No longer, sadly.

Best Keeper in the world at this time, that was a huge save in the first half and his distribution transforms us as a team.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Not a single in-game replay of the Rodri penalty incident until the VAR review process showed it for the first time a few minutes later.

Also Sky were too busy showing a kerfuffle for a City freekick near the end of the game (93rd min) but missing out the Wife beater (Antony) attempting to headbutt Doku when they were out of camera range.

He should have had a straight red for that hack on Doku when he’d only been on the pitch for 2 minutes. Horrible snidey twat.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

What a beautiful, 3-0 morning this is. Complete with a cracker of a hang over.

Worth every head pounding, dry mouthed minute.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

A comprehensive win. If Onana had not had his best game yet it could have been easily 5 or 6.

Bernardo ran the show and everyone else played their part.

None of their 11 would get in our 25 man squad.

Edited for you

 

[give it to gordon]

One thing the commentators didnt mention was the keepers kicking yesterday.

Apart from one over hit pass to Walker Eddie pass was back to top draw. Onana kicking was terrible lol

If that had happened to one of their whinging cheating twats, they would have been rolling around on the ground within a milisecond. Doku just walked away. Why the referee did nothing is a mystery he appears shorly afterwards and clearly saw it.

Sure someone yesterday said it was about 54 when rodders hit it.

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

The pen was technically correct as there was a clear foul. But it was soft in the sense that you see half a dozen of those grabs every game which go unpunished.

Not as soft as the rags at Wembley

Shay Given did a piece on it on MOTD2

Wonderful performance all round! We were savvy enough and didn't over do the pummeling - ETH is doing a remarkable job and needs to stay as long as posaible.

Peter and Mike Barnes, as young lads were in the corridor at Maine Road before a Derby, Busby came up to them and said you Ken’s lads? he took them in the dressing room and stop the players to make them sign autographs for them After the game all the players would go to a private drinking den. Busby said, who’s taking the Barnes boys? George Best said I’ll take them Pete and Mike duly pilled into the back of his yellow E-Type
