Surely City will appeal that result on the grounds of doing football an injustice

I thought talking about City was frowned upon in here?

Didn't think Wigan can pull that off, so waking up and checking the score, it's a good surprise.

Hopefully Arsenal wins the league cup final.

Fun fact. Will Griggs has scored more goals against the Premier Leagues top 6 this year than Lukaku.

Fun Fact: ManCity lost to league 1 side more than other top 6 sides this season.

Tbh this would have more fierce derby competing at equal level if not for owners.

It's nice to see Pep's halo slip and his nose get bloodied a little. He made a tit of himself in the tunnel tonight, he clearly felt the quadruple was on the cards from the looks of things.

Rival fans, notably City fans loved seeing us lose under Fergie, sadly City will most likely go on a run now, not that they've been struggling thus far.

We can enjoy this before we potentially slip up ourselves on a larger stage this week, City losing to Wigan will be forgotten about rather quickly if we don't do the business against Sevilla.

Ah lets not get too serious about tonight. City are a great team who will win the league and probably smash us when we next play them but they just lost to Wigan and lost the plot in one night. I’m enjoying it for what it is, a chance to laugh at a better team than yours when they slip up. Basically what every Liverpool fan does to us for the last 25 years.

Turtwig

Sevilla have been really inconsistent this season. Only concern I'd have for united is they are a lot better against two man midfields. Jose will surely have spotted that and compensated for it. They really struggle against the press. Real and Eibar utterly dismantled them with it.

Going by the rules as they have been explained tonight you are perfectly entitled to smack every one of them with no repercussions as they aren’t technically supposed to be here.

I’d say any fan of any team still in FA cup would of enjoyed tonight. It’s not just their blip (they will prob thump arsenal in cup) ,it’s the manner they lost and took defeat.

Seriously if united players surrounded ref like cities after Delphs red, manager had a row at HT, a player had an incident with a rival fan and united fans tore up parts of a stadium, do you think it would get more or less negative coverage? Rememeber the outcry when Keane and the team harangued a ref about a peno?

StringerBell

If it was United/Mourinho instead of City/Pep it would of course be a lot more negative from the press.

They would bellow about how toxic the club is right now, the nasty undercurrent, sore losers, no class, how the tone is set from the manager, how he is a poisonous individual and he is spreading throughout the club. The reaction of the players, the behaviour of the fans is all feeding off that constant negative energy propagated by the manager. His demeanour will be questioned, his thuggish behaviour attempting to intimidate the opposition manager and the officials and much much more.

Of course though, Pep = all that is good with football so you won't hear that.

De Vrij is leaving Lazio on free transfer this summer, Lazio sporting director confirmed.

We should sign him, very good ball playing CB and we missed the trick not signing him after 2014 world cup for just 10 million. Now it would be even better deal on a free transfer.

Btw, we should sign him if we offload any CB only.

Lets just hope we've not set ourselves up for a massive fall.

I'd really love to see us tear into Sevilla tomorrow night and score a couple of early goals and get this tie in the bag before Old Trafford.

I'm hoping that Alexis will really turn it on tomorrow and show what he can do.

With even more sinister undertones that completely exonerate Jose. All that gets told is the narrative around his bizarre comments regarding the doctor.

And they're at it again this season.. That Chelsea squad should be a lot closer to United and Citeh. They've gotten away with a lot in recent years in terms of spending and under performing as the Manchester clubs have been more active in the transfer markets and garner more headlines with Jose and Pep in charge. I'd be extremely disappointed by Chelsea if i was a supporter given the last five years or so. Two titles and not raised a gallop the season after winning and effectively gotten the manager the door both times. As much as the manager must accept their share of the blame the players have been massively at fault.

So going back to the original point.... you think Jose needs to mind what he says incase Pogba does the same?

They are having a very similar season to utd 3 points behind in the league. At the same stage in the CL and Fa cup and went a round further than utd in the caraboa cup.

That shouldn't be a measure of success.
19 points behind in the league as defending league champions is not acceptable.

Look at the performance of the last 5 league champions the season after they won the league. Look at how many managers survived past 2 seasons after winning it. Even Ranieri couldn’t last a season.

I think the drive and character the modern footballer is just not what it was in the past. Players, particularly top players (Hazard?!!) , can just turn up whenever they want and since there is a limited amount of these players with plenty of options for them , they get away with it. Also, press and fansg give players a pass Everytime. Like beaten housewife’s they are afraid that the top players will leave them so they take whatever disrespectful behavior the players get up to.

There is also the weird thing where some fans would support some players over managers. It also seems to be an accepted norm now that sacking a manager is the goto strategy if things aren’t working out.

I miss the Fergie machine where literally anybody could be discarded if they didn’t follow his orders. IF Jose asked Pogba to play in a more defensive position and IF Pogba isn’t giving it his all (cause he wants to play further forward)and at least trying , I would like to see him dropped. He’s not at the club so we can make him look good. A player who has respect for the club they play for and an in built drive will want to try their best no matter where they are played. I still find his temparement questionable and hope he grows up out of the perceived petulance. If it ended up as a choice between a player that can play impressive, is inconsistent or a manager who has a proven track record in success, I know who I would be supporting. But the gas thing is that , like before, players can influence the decision of the hierarchy, which is quite sad.

I can imagine the Glazer's reaction when Pogba or any other player asks for a dinner date to discuss Jose.
