Manchester United v Manchester City EPL (Sun 10 May 2009) 13.30 Live Sky Sp1

That_Guy

God United have been very well organised at the back today. City look absolutely clueless as to what to do when they get close to United's box.

All too predictable. They need to mix it up a bit.

Aye and statistically he has the most amount of shots in the premiership this season with the worst accuracy according to sky stats.

The advertising board to the left of Uniteds goal must say something really insulting about Elano..keeps trying to destroy it!

Out of interest, whats the story with tackles these days? tackles from the side, winning the ball getting blown up as frees fairly regularly...why? getting frustrating how weak the game is becoming.

Em, he took the player before he got the ball. If you don't get the ball first, its a foul.

Tackles from the side only work if you can get cleanly to the ball.

Soby

ooo close

I know I say this in every Manchester United match thread, but I won't be happy until we get goal #2.

And we nearly just got it! :eek:

Teva...........

Great effort

That_Guy

What a goal that would've been.

Aidric

Aw, cracking effort from Tevez.

Insect Overlord

Great passing move there. Let's get something from the corner...

Nope!

redout

Ireland not having a great game.

City look really un-interested in this. Can't remember their last attack to be honest.

i mean more in general though, in all matches we seem to be seeing a tackle from the side win the ball first and follow through on the man and still get blown up. Just something i've been noticing increasingly of late

Insect Overlord

Absolute wankery by Kompany there.

That_Guy

Kompany. What a sham.

Goal..........

2 - 0

Teva

Aidric

Yes yes yes, great strike from Tevez. Fully deserved two nil lead.

That_Guy

Great take from Berbatov but what a finish.

Raskolnikov

City finished now.

Dreadful.

Chong

After me slating blanka today, id a feeling this would happen. More of the same Mr Tevez.

mike65

How fupping anemic are City? Do they give a damn? Sack Hughes.

redout

****ing brilliant control by Berba there and class finish from Teva.

That_Guy

Vidic. What a player.

Insect Overlord

Nemanja Vidic, teaching the world how to tackle since 1981.

Holsten

Brilliant goal by Tevez.

Game, set, League, United.

City are rubbish.

Sully

Excellent pass and goal!

That_Guy

Half time. City have nothing it seems to even attempt to get back into it.

United looking good in every department. More of the same to come I predict.

someone should tell the city players that this is a derby !

ironictoaster

I have officially a man crush on Tevez.

In fairness, he's only started playing decent football in the last few weeks.

Daysha

Ok, thats it. I've made up my mind.

Fergie, sign him up. £30 million well spent.

I did find it inflammatory and pretty feckin childish tbh, but to avoid the inevitable accusations of bias I'm not modding this thread. If you'd have done the same in a Liverpool thread there'd be all out war.

Anyway, less than two hours to go and the excitement can begin. I'm expecting us to go all out for a win here.

Thats a pretty sad reflection on this forum though. It was clearly meant in a playful way.

I thought you of all soccer people would realise that. Meh, maybe your right though this forum is full of grown kids.

Sully

Read an article in todays paper where he said he wasnt offered a position and after speaking to Fergie he has decided to leave but will remain in the premiure leauge. Whats the reason why he isnt being offered a full position, hes an excellent player?

i reckon he would be a very good buy, but then i think the fact is that his position in the squad will be the same next year, and he is not happy with that position, and is not all that effective within that position - so i don't know if it should be a done deal.

That would make an exellent t-shirt.

Fantastic performance from Tevez, nobody wants to see him leave. Im so happy with got that 2nd goal before half time. Berbatov having a good game too.

Fixed that there. No shame in being played behind to the best team in the league in their back yard. Obviously a number of our players haven't shown up today. Ireland has had a mare along Elano, and Caicedo is just horrendous. Time to get Boj and Petrov on as we've nothing to lose. At least we're getting a glimpse of how Tevez will look for us next year.

redout

Sky just showed Teva has played 700 mins less than Berba this season.

Thats a huge amount in fairness.

Not trying to wind you up, not having a go at Caicedo... I just genuinely forgot he was playing.

You can't count on them. They've been inconsistent all season. I thought this might happen.

Handsome Bob

What a toothless performance from City, even Given is looking poor (of course compared to the high standards he has set himself).

Insect Overlord

Stupid foul by Fletcher.

from bbc

"'Fergie, Fergie sign him up' is being sung all over Old Trafford. Hasn't Fergie got the hint yet? There are 76,000 fans in this ground who want Tevez to sign for their team. 70,000 United fans and 6,000 City fans!"

~Rebel~

agh robinho you pity!

Insect Overlord

What a miss.

So disheartening, little chance of a way back for City after that.

Handsome Bob

Poor Robinho, very poor.
