Before my time...Honest.

Depay after showing us all how truly World class he was against the mighty European power house that was Club Brugge, he must have set another record today. Depay who apparently had "his man on strings" gave the ball away a whopping 35 times. Very impressive.

35 times....is that a real statistic? Oh, and I'm guessing some commentator said the 'strings' comment? Why are their players always monumentally overrated....

I have tried to ring a few rags but strangely they are out of communication range again. So I have shipped a few texts off to ask if they will be watching us tomorrow instead.

Who's that centre forward and the full back chasing him ?

It really is beautiful to watch.

The high for me was when Moyes said they "hope to aspire" to our level one day. Nowadays they have no hope to get anywhere near us, talent wise. They barely made the top 4, just wait till they have to play European games midweek.

I loved that game as much as pretty much any other since the takeover. It wasn't so much the manner of the victory, on their turf to boot, but rather the predictability of it. We completely took them to pieces, like they used to do to us at Maine Road in the 1990's, and no-one was remotely surprised. It showed how far we'd come - and they'd fallen.

I find it fucking hilarious that united supporters thought that the same rules that have applied to giant corporations, political systems, countries and empires down the centuries didn't apply to their football club based on fifteen years of success. Fucking clowns.

Will City's place at the top last forever? Certainly not. Something will happen to change the dynamic. I just hope it lasts as long as it can - and that I appreciate as much as I can as it's happening - as I believe I do.

Nothing lasts forever. As long as you realise that, getting off the ride at the end is so much easier to take. Many united fans kidded themselves it was never going to end, which is why they're so ill-equipped to deal with where they find themselves now - as they will going forward.

Yes mate, a wankstain on humanity.

Yep he sure was a wanker.

Remember in my first year there in my very first lesson I had the **** as my Geography teacher.
The first ever lesson with him we had to write someting down on paper and he walked up and down looking at everyones work.
He came up to me took my paper i was writing on and ripped it to shreds and said start again.
Will never Forget that day, what a way to start Secondary School!!!!

Sorry off Topic

OK guys, put yourselves in the skin of a scum fan, I know, I know, but just go along with me for a minute.
Just think about how almost suicidal they must feel right now, not only at how totally abject their mighty reds have become - but how 'ickle City have surpassed them in almost every department, on and off the field - for now and for the foreseeable future.
How absolutely sick to the stomach they must feel. If the roles were to be reversed I'm not sure I could cope.

I'm sure the more intelligent ones among them (bit of a stretch I know) are slowly beginning to realise this - by Christ - the Samaritans are going to earn their corn over the next few months and years.

And.... awaken slowly.... you're back in the room.

Of course it can last forever. The foundations are there. No more roller coasters, my friend.

It's in the F365 write up. (Football365) Mentions the amount of times Depay lost possession. Owen claimed Depay had the Newcastle right back on strings, he did for 15 minutes while the out of position centre back found his place, he then totally nullified Depay and created problems going the way.
