And yet we were the better team yesterday~

Honestly, I went in expecting us to get chewed up. Came away seeing us build up well, hold a formation, stayed in shape, scored the opener, and created opportunities that a proper no. 9 could live off. The one twos we played and the crisp passing at times were truly an improvement. I think there's definitely potential to this team.With De Ligt and Mazraoui already in, maybe Ugarte or another midfielder and this team is in a better place than we've been in a long time. The foundations are growing strong.

All I’m saying is the past two consecutive games against you lot has me seeing you in a different light. I no longer feel like we’d be run rugged. I actually enjoy playing you a lot more, which isn’t something I or other United fans would have said in the the past few seasons.

Hats off for being a good sport! Never want to see us lose to City, but under the circumstances this is very positive. Honestly, I went in expecting us to get chewed up.

Chewed up?
Obviously not a Manc, not surprised.

What you dont seem to understand is that you arent preaching to your deluded masses and we dont buy the bullshit that the press feeds u lot, u sit there and go how brilliant ineos have been and how do u figure that out is ur stadium fixed? Is it fuck its just a pipe dream about a 2 billion complex that u dont have funding for, do u have a new manager? Do u fuck because nobody else wanted it, u have just backed a guy that u didnt want cos competent managers laughed at u, do let me know how his other signings have worked out so far, ineos have just fed u the same old crap and uve all bought it because it wasnt being sold by the glazers if it wasnt so laughable id pity you but ur arrogance makes that impossible

Ineous being brilliant is them talking to Tuchel when they clearly have no faith in Ten Hag. Then when they realised Tuchel didn’t fancy the job then giving Ten Hag more money to piss away on ex Ajax players. Square that circle @Derrick91?

I swear in the Ratcliffe contract is that the Glazers can buyback the shares from him if they not happy where the clubs heading ..

Bruno, Martínez, Garnacho, and Mainoo didn’t play a game in pre-season! Out of our back 4 yesterday, only Dalot and Martinez would be considered as starters. Furthermore, Martinez played out of position(played as an LB). Adding to that we played without a striker, hence the wastefulness in front of goal.

I’m not proclaiming “United are back,” but we have massively improved in the last 2 games against Citeh (this was arguably a better game than the FA final we won against you lot, with your team at full strength, btw), and there’s reason to believe we will continue doing so.

The patterns of play between the United players yesterday were impressive. Not long ago, City would walk through our side, and we, more often than not, knew we would be beaten when playing you guys. I don’t have that feeling anymore. That’s a massive improvement in my books.

Bookmarked for when you bunch of cunts are 12th in November

I’d counter your argument by highlighting that our first team had just won four in a row the week before, they turned up pissed. Four in a row something your shit stain of a football club has never done.

Can you tell me how Jim Radcliffe owning 27 percent of a football club takes the majority owners the Glazors out of the picture?

They will never be out of the picture.They operate in a typical yank way and never make a move unless it brings them maximum profit for minimum effort.Worzel has been sucked in,the Glazers pocket a shit load of cash and leave someone else to deflect the tsunami of shite heading their way.They are really second rate and the likes of Brentford and Bournemouth are much more watchable and better run.Ten years at least before they are able to even pull up a footstool at the the top table,and even then,just to clear the dishes.
That's me done, off for a nice G and T in the garden.

Remember when the pisscan claimed city will never be favourites in a derby? Now if they don’t get hammered by us it’s some form of victory for them. How the mighty have fallen!

We beat you 3-0 and 3-1 last season and you got absolutely battered in both games.

What games are you talking about which would make you change your view?

Yesterday wasn’t even the proper sides and the only game we’ve played each other since those hammerings is the cup final where we turned up hung over having just won 4 in a row.
