United (H) Post Match Thread

So gutted. Felt like we had lost a cup final. Although we will still go on to will the league, this has really put a stain on the forthcoming celebrations.

It has. Will be a huge anti-climax winning it away to West Ham than winning it against the rags.

Behave mate....you telling me once we do lift the league title you will sit back and go ‘oooh hold on a minute, we didnt win this against united’

Bollocks.....at the end of the day fortunes have changed as it used to be us who could only win a derby for the bragging rights with united then still going on to then lift a title.

Now the boot is on the other foot

Watching it back on MOTD....glutton for punishment. Trying hard to see the bigger picture but after today it's just not happening. Not at all optimistic for the next 2 games. We are dreadful at game management.

It isn’t worth the same as mine because its an idiotic, kneejerk, small minded, pathetic and baseless opinion.

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Fuck you, you arrogant tosser

I’m sick of hearing about bent officials. It seems that anytime some team actually has a go at us we brick it and lose concentration.

And piss poor decisions do not affect outcomes ?

We wasted chances - absolutely true. We were deprived of important decisions by poor refereeing - yes or no ?

Of course they bloody matter !!

Me too. He made a couple of wrong calls and it was obvious he wasnt going to do us any favours but far too much is being made of 50/50 stuff.

What disappointed me was that if Pep was managing Barcelona he would have played his best xi if in the same scenario playing Real
He didn't realise what today meant and he doesn't get us as a club at all.
He got today badly badly wrong.

Ah. Now I understand your user name

Bewildered about many things but not what I've just watched...

We can bemoan decisions all day long but it doesn’t explain our defending. Wednesday and today both hideous as soon as the pressure builds.

Absolutely bang on. We knew, before the game that the rags main tactic today (indeed their only chance of getting a result imo) would be to buy as many free kicks, in and around our box as Atkinson could conceivably allow, without it looking too dodgy, and simply lump the ball in. Sadly the only ones who seemed to be totally unprepared for such tactics, (as it's clearly obvious that nothing at all was worked on in training beforehand to combat this strategy) were Pep & the players

I'm as pissed off as anybody with the result but perhaps "typical City" only lives on in the minds of us, the fans, not Pep and the players.

Think back to April 2013 - almost a perfect reverse of tonight, with Utd 15 points clear and cruising to the title. We won and closed the gap to 12 points with 7 games left. We enjoyed our victory and the rags were of course pissed off, but nobody seriously thought a Utd collapse was imminent, and when they eventually won the title it was in no way "stained".

Winning tonight would have been awesome but I honestly feel that winning it in two or three weeks will feel every bit as good.
