Man City v Man Utd (Sat, 12.45 kickoff)

CivilServant

Mancini should of tuned into sky sports at half time, then he might of figured out scholes was the lynchpin of the utd victory.

Well done to Utd though, the race is still very much in the balance.

IF United hadn't scored in the last min due to dreadful tracking back by Stephen Ireland, I'm sure you'd all be singing the SCHOLES IS TOO OLD/SUMMER CLEAROUT tune again. Typical United fans, 7 days ago you were calling for his head..

Your a terrible bad troll. Probably the worst.

I'd like to be gutted but at this stage you just have to laugh. It's pretty evident why we are so far off challenging for big honours. You can't switch off against quality opposition and we did. Onouha's brain fart cost us and we were rightfully punished.

I thought we were the better side in the first half without creating the chances, though United should have been ahead at the break. Vidic was immense in the second half, but our deliveries into the box were generally poor.

Mancini's decision to take off De Jong was mind boggling, especially when that waster Vieira took up his spot. Would Scholes have been left in that much space had De Jong been on? I don't think so.

If you want to win titles then these are the type of games that you need to step up in. Unfortunately for us, only one team did that today.

Brain fart :pac:

Seriously though, Vidic was absolutely excellent against him today. I was happy to see Obertan thrown on too. I'd love to see him get more game time. Everytime I've seen him he has been pretty impressive

David Blaine is said to be pissed off with news that his record feat if doing nothing in a box for 42 days has been beaten by Berbatov.

De Jong looked to be running gingerly for a few minutes and was limping around, I think his withdrawl was more an injury concern then a tactical one...

He was quiet alright, clearly not fully fit.

I'd be playing Berbatov up front with Park/ Nani / Macheda and have Park/Nani and valencia on the wings for the remainder of the season unless Rooney is 100% completely fit.

And as someone who had alot of trouble with ankle injuries in the past, its not something you get over that quickly, especially what he did.

No doubt he is on those injections, which if you have never had, are very potent, make you unaware for hourly periods of the pain and stress on your injury and he could be doing more damage.

I'm sure the united medical team are aware of this and maybe it isnt as bad as first thought, but somehow I doubt its going to be healed properly in the next few weeks.

One man team implies you cant win without that player . . United scored after he had been taken off . . Guess some of you guys should look up the meaning of the term before trying to be smart . .

Link of goal, may be taken down anytime ! ! ! Enjoy it while you can . .

Just looking at the goal again, its actually shocking that in the last minute of the game with City sitting back, no one even considers tracking Scholes' run into the box. He starts the move then just saunters in there totally unopposed.

With indiscipline in midfield like that you deserve nothing tbh.

Sloppy by city to give away possession in first place but Scholes to be fair took goal well. As Lee said probably one of the best players they had under Fergie. A terrific pro

Lukker-

It should have been Viera's job to track the run of Scholes. But that said, Stephen Ireland was on the edge of the box and seemed to do absolutely nothing.

In that situation I'd be loking at Ireland tbh, he ws right there and he couldn't NOT have seen Scholes drifting in.

Ah well, till next time!!

Good result for Utd fans.....Enjoy..

It is nice tho' to have had a game without any real controversies in it
except for..........................






























How the hell is that old geriatric still fecking up City???;)

Next year lads.....wait till next year:p
As we say every year:(

Anyhow, congrats (begrudgingly) to all the Utd fans!!!

Get in!! Scholesy you little ginger genius.

Nearly went through the roof of the house when that one went in.

Come on the Spurs, do us a favour 'Arry.

Again it would made sense for a city player to run down wing instead of playing an ambitious long ball out wide which if memory serves me right is what led to United regaining possession.
As Lee said City had two chances in second half to go in front and didnt take either

I have to say I was very pissed off with Rooney's antics today.

He laboured around and moaned like a spoilt kid, kicked out at De Jong (yellow card anyone?!), and got Kompany booked with a nice display of the sort of antics the likes of Gerrard are accused of week in, week out.

I agree. The way he rolled around and then jumped back up once the ref decided to book him was embarrassing.

He wasn't running around as much as usual because his ankle can't be 100% better, he missed de Jong, who went down like a sack a spuds and Fergie said on MUTV that Rooney was hurt in that collision and he got up quickly because he thought Kompany was gonna be sent off, that tackle was the main reasoning why Rooney got taken off.

Sure what do you expect? English refs are going to protect him as much as possible in the run in. What was worse was the reaction of the pundits, criticizing Kompany for targeting his ankle. He made as much contact as Jonny Evans did with Gareth Barry.

So you're justifying a blatant case of violent conduct?

Ya'd swear he tried to headbutt him or something, yes, he swung out a leg with no intention of getting the ball but it wasn't a full force kick or anything Jerry Flannery-esque.
