The fact is united players graduate from the academy into the first team, whereas the last player to graduate from the city academy was who??

I wish both my eyes were swelled up like Valencias so I wasn't fit to read the amount of sh1te I just did in this thread.

I'm not gonna say any names, but there's certain posters from both Liverpool and Utd. that need to grow up ffs. It's just childish.

Can everyone do the decent thing and just put him on ignore?

Chelsea is probably the only team that could beat one of the big 3. R.Madrid, Barca and Bayern.

Athletico will fancy there chances against any side and be justified in doing so. Chelsea look strong under Mourinho.

There is just too much quality back to front in the other teams. Dortmund would be the best team to draw but even then I wouldn't bet against them.

I'd take PSG also and Chelsea.

Utd will certainly need a proper gameplan should they meet any of the big 3 to have any chance I agree. Midfield issues will have to be dealt with. But let's not forget this same team were very unlucky to go out to Real last year at the same stage. Cup football lads, big stage, players rise to occasions and anything can happen.

Well Done Man Utd.

Ryan Giggs is a waste of space he should have retired last Summer.

Dunphy is more or less spot on with the team theres a lot of mediocre players there like Johnny Evans, Cleverly and Ferdinand.

Its going to be hard for Moyes to bring in quality players for next season.

It isn't the same team at all though. The players might be more or less the same but it's a completely different team. Madrid knocked out United last year and they've improved whereas United have become much worse.

He is right so I will end this debate and speak to ye in next tuesdays thread.
Enjoy your win.

We were haunted.

Better side would have scored.

Not complaining, but we still need to improve drastically.

Happy for now but a humiliation in QF awaits if we get a top side.

Chelsea might be our best bet and even then.......

Adnan januzaj to start with, Danny welbeck, tom cleverly both regular England internationals or does that not count?

And seeing as you couldn't answer my original question I thought I'd Just let you know the last city academy player to graduate to a league game for City was karim rekik, a stalwart of the premiership

Ryan Giggs had a great game, were you even watching the match? He brought van persie and Rooney into the game which has hardly been done this season. He played some wonderful through balls. And as for dunphy...ha

Panthro

I think if United end up getting Chelsea it will be a Godsend for the Blues.
I'd love it personally!
Jose up to Manchester, get an away goal. Home to London, beat United at a canter.
Boom!:D

Janujaz is crap.

Wellback is the only considerable player.

mourhino will be delighted if he gets united in the draw on Friday.
Liverpool were not fancied when the won it and the had a similar league record to ours now.

One of the most ridiculous comments I've seen in a long while. Every part of it is wrong.

finnharpsboy

Take your pants off don't forget sturridge, and I see you mention Johnson there, would that be the world famous Michael Johnson? Grand total of 44 league starts between city and Leicester in a career spanning 6 seasons?

Sturridge came from City's academy.

I know that as im sure most do, was just reminding your man there who named joey barton and the likes and never mentioned arguably the best product of the city academy

Look we both know that he meant Adam Johnson, but after you said Michael Johnson he went away and checked Wikipedia and saw he was wrong, and now won't be back til whenever.

As Liverpool and Chelsea proved in the past, United can win the CL even when league form is pretty dire.

I hope they get knocked out in the next round because i just have this bad fucking feeling about all this.

Delighted with that performance

Rvp
Rooney
Ddg
Giggs .

Still not a fan of moyes but that one game was a real man utd performance and a rarity.

Made me chuckle :pac:

The amount of luck required not only to get by the next two games with the remaining opposition, but to do two more after than and then beat whoever makes it to the final, we're better off investing in a time machine to bring St Patrick and his band of leprechauns to give us a hand and maybe play CM and LB if they're up for it.

We've been woeful this season and would have gone out tonight against a better team, no corners have been turned other than maybe a slight moral boost but we've still got Moyes' tactics and players, most of whom are leaving in the summer and will be replaced to be fair, playing badly to deal with.

If I wasn't a United fan I'd be hoping they draw Bayern for the sheer comedy of it all, Pep against Moyes, Bastian and Lahm against Carrick and Giggs/Clevs/Fellaini.

I have to agree.

How any fan from rivial club can be worried is beyond me. At least wait till semi if we are even that lucky.

We will get battered in QF if we get one of the Big 3.

No offence but you're default setting is negativity. You said Utd would get beaten tonight and joked about Comedy Channels etc when you seen teh Utd line up. It's almost as if you want them to fail.

I assume both of you were born long before 2005 and saw what happened then.

Wtf sort of match thread did I just read? Surprised it kept up for the whole thread or after we were winning.

Funnily it would have being the same ****e if we were losing.

Well you should have seen me in pub been nervous wreck the last 10 minutes then.

Im not one of those supporters who was happy to see us lose so we could dig the knife in further to Moyes.

But lets call a spade a spade. Was that last 30 minutes acceptable? We were shocking.

Hoof ball after Hoof ball. Would have made Trap proud.

Im delighted we won. I dont know how many times I have to explain this.

That Liverpool team had a Top manager and 3-4 very very good players and players like Finnan who were seriously underrated.

Take away 2 awful players and that Liverpool side was not too shabby.

I think the quality is also stronger now imo. Before it was 2-3 real quality sides. Now we are left with 7 and United.

Stranger things have happened I guess.

You don't have to beat the 7 though. You could beat a Chelsea or a Dortmund and then a semi-final who knows. It's nightmare stuff but who knows. I have a Tenner at 50/1 on it.

Read your quotes before the match. They were ridiculous. The team Moyes put out was good enough to do the job yet you went into some some hysterical laughing fit declaring it was nigh on impossible for Utd to win.

I suppose looking at it now I can see where you and Super Rush are coming from. I would wait till semi first though if make it.

Draw will tell us a lot.

Yeah but its still possible that United win the ECL and Liverpool finish fourth and get no ECL football next year. Its unlikely for sure but its a possibility.

Yes I was laughing. Yes I thought the team was a joke.

Can you seriously tell me that if you were Bayern, Madrid fan and saw that lineup 45 minutes before the game that you would not be confident? 40 yo man in the middle granted he had fine game

The Greeks had chances. They could have scored 3.

3-0 scoreline flattered us and im worried some United fans dont see this at all.
