1. Credit to City. Not many United men could honestly say they were pleased with the result. Maybe if it was the League but dumping City out leaves them less fixtures in the Premiership run in.
  2. They should've gone out to finsh them off. In the first half, United couldn't be faulted, 3-0 and you could only hear our fans. Was a home game almost. The Man City fans were humiliated in the first half, scoreline, the chants from our fans, taking the piss out of their pathetic celebration that they do when they score. First half was heaven.

    Great to see Scholes back though. Apparently his pass success rate was higher in his 30 minute stint than any Man City player achieved all game. Never lose it.

    EDIT: I say couldn't be faulted in a sense that it was all one way traffic. Second half was poor.
  3. By the way the red card shouldnt been giving, it wasnt that hard, of course it was with both of his legs but he only touched the ball.
    And Scholes played a great game, he was free the whole time and gave United some rest (Good English ?) when they needed it. I really enjoyed seeing City loose but I still think they are better than United and that they are going to be the champions in the end.

    The only goal for them now would be the league. For United the goal is league, FA Cup and Europa League. Alex Ferguson needs to admit that he needs to spend money in January though, if we strengthened our midfield, then it'll go all the way.

    The Kompany red card, probably wasn't red. From his perspective anyway, from the view behind Nani, it looked reckless. In the heat of bitter rivalry, you won't catch me standing up for him though. Paved the way for a really enjoyable first half

    In other news, FC Sion were deducted 36 points by the Swiss FA, thus allowing FC Basel to play in the Champions League and ending United hopes of being reinstated. Ajax, here we come!
  5. isn't City still in the Carling cup? .. maybe it counts very little, doesn't it? .. like Italy cup here .. or Europe league

    Yeah they're in it but they won't be bothered by it or the Europa League.

    Probably Messi. Though for obvious reasons, would like to see Ronaldo win
  9. Hopefully Messi wins
  10. The FIFA World XI for 2011 is: Casillas, Alves, Pique, Ramos, Vidic, Iniesta, Alonso, Xavi, Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney

    Barcelona - 5
    Madrid - 4
    United - 2
  11. There isn't a fan of any club in the world that didn't smile when Henry scored ealier


  12. Henry is a legend, absolute model professional. Not in it for the glory, or the accorded. Just helping his old club out. That's what young players should aspire to be like.
