Ferguson lacked the bollocks to select a team that could win that game.

That team selection had "please don't lose" written all over it.

Because if he had of gone for it they would have been absolutely mangled, like the 6-1 game. The United team isn't good enough in the middle of the park to go for against any top team, it hasn't been for a couple of years either, it was like the CL Final last year all over again.

Poor poor display by us. Serious underperformace tonight form a lot of players. Rooney was ****e. City deserved the win. We will need major reinforcements in the summer to even compete with them next season with the likely spending spree they will go on. You never know though. Newcastle could do us a massive favour:D

Vanbis

He'll put that Shreeves in place quick enough, don't worry about that

Hope United go out and smash Swansea for 6 or 7 next week. That'd make the last day nuts :pac:

Nobody is saying go all out, but to start both Giggs and Scholes, as well as Park, and drop all 3 of Valencia, Young and Welbeck was nuts.

Delighted for Kompany. Fair play to City, best team in England for sure. Two convincing derby wins. Newcastle will be tough, though.

fair play Kompany, hes City's Vidic

Woeful from Utd tonight.

Two shots all game, and not a single shot on target - disgraceful statistics.

They don't deserve to win a raffle with a performance like that.

Title isn't over yet. I could well see City dropping points on Saturday against Newcastle.

Not if Newcastle play like they did at the weekend. Utd at Swansea is no walkover either.

I agree but utd could also drop points against sunderland especially last game of season!

Today really really showed up the United midfield. At all the crunch periods of the game, where United would normally step up the pressure, City just dealt with it and regained control in the middle.

In fairness, everywhere else, United still look strong, but they really, really need to rebuild in the centre this summer.

I think Newscastle bar Wigan, have been very good to date, and bearing in mind that Wigan have had the best form as of late, with only the amount of goals casting a cloud.

Newscastle next game, tomorrow, will reveal all, if they up their tempo to pre-Wigan levels, I can see them nicking a point off City, they'll be just as hungry as City will be tbh. So it really all boils down to Man Utd. against Sunderland.

It's a nothign game for Sunderland though. If they were battling relegation they might have a hope. The only way City are winning this is with 2 wins.

Warper

Utd made to pay their defensive tactics. City easily the better team. Utd having zero shots on target says it all. Dont think anyone can argue that City have been the best team in the league this season and looks like they will be at the top for a long time to come. Congrats City on winning the title.

Kompany was outstanding tonight, as was zabaleta, united were very poor. Looking forward to the last 2 games. What a finale to the league.

Poor game with all the hype to be fair. Cant believe how poor United were tonight, honestly thought they'd give 'em a right go in the second half. Fair play to City.

Thought this thread was going surprisingly well, nice to see many United fans gracious in defeat I must say and they must be commended.

Pity there is going to be idiotic and bitter comments like this though!

Yeah, Newcastle should be really up for it after the Wigan drubbing.

Best result for the neutral tonight. City were excellent, the pressure they put on United when they had the ball was near Barcaesque.

Well said.

This thread has been well behaved for the most part - City fans delighted that they won and rightly so, and United fans bemoaning a poor performance. Yet as soon as the FT whistle goes, the digs from fans of neither club start flying. Another strong backing for match threads to be locked at full time tbh.

If this match had been on a Sunday afternoon, it would have been a trainwreck. The difference? School in the morning.

It's called banter: Are you saying if Utd had won that it wouldn't be full of gloating Utd supporters and 20 posters etc?

I know but you are a fan of Liverpool fc and one of those that loves to hate United. All you are doing here is trying to wind up fans who have lost a critical game. Very sad.

Wouldn't it be some drama if both dropped points at North east.

Tbh think both will get 6. But gee a few weeks ago thought Utd would be champs by now.

Good to see Fergie being gracious during the game though. Always classy

Keep forgetting Newcastle have to play Chelsea on Wednesday. Extra 2 days off for City is massive!
