Man City vs Man Utd 8:00PM Monday SS1

Really don't think Gallagher should be on about Fergie and the whiskey when his own family has it's fair share of alcohol problems. Talk about a bit of shameless self promoting.

As a United fan, must say that Hart and Kompany are two genuinely classy characters. Always carry themselves well on and off the pitch.

With the title? And who really gives a flying one? Shows we've a bit of a sense of humour about us if nothing else unlike a lot of the stiffs in football.

It's not about having a sense of humour. We know City clearly have a sense of humour, they employed Garry Cook ffs. It's about being professional and not letting buffoons like Liam Gallagher hog the feckin limelight after the most important game of the season. That pic gets more embarrassing every time I look at it.

Oh God. We have bad enough football arguments in here without throwing a musical element in as well!

Young was crap too.

Eh Rammstein are better than the lot of them. If Hertha let Rammstein do press conferences I would probably never stop watching.

'So what did you think of the match today?'

***** load of pyrotechnics*

If that's the only criticism you have about tonight then I'll sleep very soundly. Means absolutely nothing.

Tbh, I did see Hansens point, it's is as if he has to come for every corner to prove a point. It's something that will come in time, his judgement will get better.

Not something I noticed watching the match.

As a neutral (that had a some money going on to City to win tonight) I thought Joe Hart looked nervous. The thing was United never tested him - that was surprising.

Mancini is still saying Man U are favourites. I have found his post match interviews intriguing in recent times, but he's definitely on the right track now. Play it down, as much as possible, and let his players do the talking on the pitch. Really hope they go on and lift the title now.

Well Lucas is good enough for a mid table team but not really any higher-

on topic from what I've seen of de gaa he flip flops at crosses and corners. Cant see him there the season after next.


So not really controversial just an unbiased opinion.

I couldn't care less about this game, but absolutely delighted Kompany scored the winner.

Easily one of the best center halfs in the world, and a great guy as well.

Did you watch the last couple of minutes of the game? Hart didn't exactly cover himself in class, and I don't honestly remember any time he has.

As for the rest of them, excellent performance, and throughout the season they really did deserve it. Just hoping Newcastle can do us a favour now. Even if we don't deserve it

Not being bitter here when I say this, I swear (like I said fair play to city, deserved it) but it's bit of a joke that. You think united, real, ac milan, barca, bayern would let a token celebrity fan into a post-match press conference. No chance.

City have some great players, who are class professionals - kompany etc but this makes city look like a joke. Don't know if it's marketing but they'll turn the club into a circus. great to watch I agree, but not really something that a club should be doing imo, i wouldn't want it as a supporter. If results go wrong, does it carry on? Where does the circus stop?

I quite like Oasis, and City deserved to win tonight, but this is fcking pathetic if any member of the City staff let that fcukwit do this. Seriously, to let some retarded washed-up celebrity into a press conference and have him dish out personal insults to the oppositions manager???

I'm not neutral in this, but if I was I'd like to think this would have me funking big time for a Newcastle win next week.

That said, Mark E. Smith is a City fan.

In another completely off-topic matter, when will Joe Hart give up on trying to coin the phrase "deeeecent". It's not going to happen.

He reminds of Pierce from Community with his "Streets Ahead" line.

I didn't see MOTD but did see the match. He flapped at the first corner and got nowhere near it which lead to a second corner where they got the goal. He is extremely bad when coming for crosses. I genuinely think he's the worst keeper I've seen under high ball at a top club. I think he'll be fine once he fills out but until then he is a liability for corners. You don't get too many corners against United though! Good keeper other than that currently major flaw which will surely be rectified in time.

Spot on ... poor decision from City to allow a moronic rent a gob like Gallagher represent their club.

You see this annoys me. Hart is seen as the best goalkeeper in England and he came out and was dodgy on the few corners United had last night and kicked the ball out of play in panic in situations where De Gea did well. The first time De Gea didn't come for a corner City scored. He obviously isn't at the optimal level for crosses but he has been grand at them in the second half of the season and improving so fast that by next season he'll be up there with the best in the league...

Well done to City, best team won. The title is all theirs now.

United absolutely terrible, the worst performance that I've seen from a United side in quite some time. Personally, I blame SAF for the result last night. Park and Giggs shouldn't have been anywhere near the pitch last night. How could he possibly leave Valencia out of the team? He has been our best player all season when fit.

Unfair criticism I think - I've posted on 9 Liverpool match threads. It probably looks like I regularly post anti Pool but it's just not the case, they were playing bad of late and I have been criticizing accordingly, I've also posted a lot of positives too about them - Same as when my team play good and bad, I'm just not a rose tinted glasses type of fan.

Hansen raised the point so I presume that is where he getting it, he didn't see the match after all.

No I didnt see MotD or highlights, it was just from the matches I've seen and he flaps at everything and I dont mean punch, I mean an actual flap.

Very good shot stopper but United have a great defense and they need a keeper who can do the simple stuff well and De Gaa just doesnt have the command of his area or the ability to deal with crosses.

On the 15 minutes I've seen united just werent good enough. Young is crap, nobody able to keep the ball in midfield and Rooney was MIA.

I presume this point has been raised before but I have to say as a neutral watching the game last night Niall Quinn was a disgrace

I do think De Gea gets a hard time from the press for not coming for corners and crosses, he is young get, I think it's a confidence thing that will come with age, two of the most over-praised keepers in given and hart are worse at coming for crosses but it's rarely mentioned.

Great win for City and to those die hard supporters, still see Newcastle nicking a point. Utd’s midfield is in dire need of an overhaul, couldn’t string two passes together and reverted to long balls. Kompany, Zabaleta and Toure all gave sterling performances. Can’t stand Hart, guy loves himself.
