Match Day Man City v Man Utd, Saturday 7th April 17:30

[Pickleman1967]

Listening to the FT player interviews I suspect the players, rather than the manager, changed this around. Mourinho will, of course, take the plaudits but I think this is a day for the Man Utd players to take a bow.

Ewww. You’ve got to wade through the spunk to get through this thread.

Still, another day, another knee high foul on a City player being waved away.

Absolutely. If City was a child, you'd be perfectly justified in calling the NSPCC.

 

[Pickleman1967]

Yes a stone wall penalty, but the point is City had their foot on United's throat at half time and they let them off. Of course they will win the league, but by Jebus a few cracks have appeared in the seemingly impenetrable City armour this week. All of a sudden they look beatable...

 

[Pagnell]

We proved they were beatable months ago. Get at them and they crack.

Well suddenly it appears so, but even when the Pool beat them earlier in the season they came back and almost snatched a draw. I'd say this is a new level of vulnerability, who'd have backed Mourinho's team to come back from the grave here? Awful result for the home team regardless of the "oh well, who cares?" spin some City fans would like to put on it. I spent two years of my life working in Manchester, I know there will be plenty of fans of the men in blue wanting to hide in a cave for a couple of weeks after this. It is a kick in the spuds...

 

[Stevencc]

Always have to make it about Spurs, don't you?

It is a kick in the Spurs...

Close enough.

That was more about us than them.

Indeed we fatigued badly that second half and didn't have big Virgil calming us down.

A wee bit annoyed we are now not the only team to beat City in the league this season, but what Utd did today could help us midweek so I'll take it.

 

[Nilsson]

Get in Vinny!

Come on!

Oh yes...

United are the only team to beat them at the Emptyhad this season, I believe.

 

[epic73]

It seemed more like the Fullhad until about the 53rd minute.

Aye their first defeat at home in the league in near a couple of years. Liverpool are the only side left undefeated at home this season now.

I thought they were jihad in that first half.

 

[Stevencc]

I was very gl-ad for the second half.

 

[Bilo]

Shit that I missed this, sounds like a real cracker.

Eating a fake cracker.

Watched the first half then the wife got a hold of the remote. Turned back over with a few minutes to go and just about choked on my quarter pounder. Got to say....some comeback. Had a wee giggle at the greeting faced City players....must have been something big at stake.
