After the 4-4 my initial thought was we'd blown it, that hasn't changed.

The only thing that might go in our favour is a classic rally call from Fergie and City's ***** going again.

The spirit of 99 is required

LOL That was a given, I expect to see Park standing beside Scholes in the middle, Fergie always uses him when he cant afford to lose.

City deserved that. 8 points In 4 matches? Manchester United you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Liverpool and Chelski fans can f**k off by default of not being title challengers.

Oh dear, must have really hurt

You know City are just going to screw it up after posting this pic




Anyone heard anything official about Darren Fletcher reportedly retiring from football due to health reasons?

Still to do with the ulcerative colitis that he's been suffering with? Just rumours?

Oh it did big time

And my head still hurts now. Luckily though, no Munich chants from the City end of the pub

Not read anything about Fletcher yet but it would be a shame.

Have no complaints about being beaten last night. We didn’t even turn up – looked like we were trying to go for the draw. Damage was done well before last night though with losing to Wigan and drawing with Everton. Only thorn in Citeh’s side was Newcastle Away but after their recent spanking I don’t hold out much hope. Is gonna be a nail biter that is for sure.

I think it says a lot for how far Utd have fallen that Fergie tried to park the bus. Utd of 3 or 4 years ago would never have played that way.

It's a new era folks. Arab money has raised the stakes to new levels.

United didnt need to go out and win the game thats why Fergie played them tactics, City at home were never going to play soft so it seemed a sensible choice. Nearly worked to be fair.

Im glad City won though, its no secret I dislike United with a passion and Fergie is a first class ****, he needs to start building a squad. I agree hes good enough to win stuff with the youngsters but he has no options in the team anymore.

They haven't fallen anywhere, top 3 for the past 20 years, not a great distance to fall , whereas a certain club just up the M62 are still wearing trhe parachutes they put on in 89

Everyone keeps saying we have no money but we're still buying players year on year. OK not the £100m Kenny spent, but we're still spending and at least we bought the correct player from Villa

Nowt wrong with Davey Moyes BTW, he's done a stunning job with nothing, just have a look up above you in the league

Didn't take Fergie long to throw the hats of his has-beens and bit-part players into the ring did it?
