I think everybody needs to calm down because up to now other than Tottenham we haven't played any of the big teams !!!!

11-2 over 1st and 5th away this season, not a bad start.

20 goals in 5 away games, Stuart Pearce must be appalled!

aren't WE first?

last season's table as that's what apparently judges other "big teams".

Hahahaha 6-1.. what a humiliation @ OT . SAF eyes turned red.. :-)) while Mancini smiling (for sure he also surprised with the scoreline)

If I loved this man any more I'd need a restraining order.

I said it from the absolute start, this guy is immense and is a beautiful bastard

Totally agree with you Dam

I've always said that this guy is made for the big time and i expect our Champs League form to change on his return.

Second on the sheet after Silva in the big games.........bring on Chelsea!!

I always used to say that the 1968 match at Old Trafford was the best Derby I have known, but this one tops even that. For the first time in a long time I can say 'Malcolm Allison would have been proud of that.'

I am particularly glad for the young lads (and girls) whose memories don't go back as far as mine - you have had the reward at last for your years of loyal support.

As Churchill said: 'This is not the end; it is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning.'

We need fear no one!

 

[byronic]

One thing that amazed me was Silva's defensive work rate. Did you notice how many times he was in the first third defending, closing down, pressuring even putting in some muscle.
What a player.

Agreed

Can't wait to see him do damage in the champions league.

I did, other fans etc criticise him claiming he doesnt do enough dirty work but hes always pressuring the opposition and he was outstanding in doing so yesterday for an attacking midfielder.

As for the game, still cant believe, played them for fun for over half the game!!

Born two years before in 1966 certainly appreciate your posting on these older games. Thanks JR

Neville on SKY yesterday

How did he take it, what excuses did he come up with, would love to have watched him squirming but I was at the swamp instead :)

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

couldn't hear him, i was too busy dancing on a pool table.

 

[stumpy_mcfc]

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

He was very good and while it must have hurt he had no excuses. Respect where it is due, carried himself well considering.

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

Took it with good grace in all honesty. Gave our lads their due, praised Mancini for the starting 11 (even before the game), and just said United weren't good enough really.

As a player I fucking despised him, but as much as I hated the idea of him becoming a pundit, he's not too shabby tbh. Better than fucking most anyway...

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

He was as honest and decent a pundit as he has been all season.

You could tell he was hurting though, really bad. Even when talking about the QPR match, his mind was clearly elsewhere.

Maybe he should give his hedge a cut in a 6-1 shape?

 

[Chris in London]

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

He said one thing I found very interesting, which was that they will have spent all week working on closing down David Silva.

That worked well, then...

 

[BillCarlisle]

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

Just to see him smile through gritted teeth was priceless. Absolutely priceless.

Re: Neville on SKY yesterday

He's been a class act on Sky to be honest. Yesterday was no different.

 

[Cheesy]

Found this on a Spuds forum. One of their fans defending us...

De Gea------18 mill.......................Joe Hart------600k

Smalling-----10 mill.......................Richards------0

Ferdinand----30 mill......................Kompany------6 mill

Evans--------0............................Lescott-------22 mill

Evra---------6 mill.......................Clichy---------7 mill

Fletcher-----0.............................Toure-------24 mill

Anderson---21 mill .......................Barry-------12 mill

Young-- ---18 mill.........................Milner------24 mill

Nani-------19 mill ........................Silva-------20 mill

Rooney----26 mill.........................Balotelli----21 mill

Welbeck---0...............................Aguero----35 mill

MAN UTD---148 mill.....................Man City---171.6 mill

very very similar teams, only City battered Utd on the day

money didnt make the difference

And further on...

about comparing the cost of each teams' match day eleven, well i think its very relevant. On the day, Man City won 6-1, and the poster suggested that its because of the 600 million spent on Man City ascension to the top. Thats simply out of order.

The point im making is that both teams and benches cost approximately the same, so ultimately the result of the game is decided by whose tactics are better and which set of players perform and want it more on the day.

That team was Man City and the plaudits have to go to Mancini and his coaches who oversaw the destruction of Utd at Old Trafford.

Watched the game again today hehe

Being a former red and acting the way he did, I think he deserves credit. It is due.
