Happy Days please log in to view this image Manchester City inflicted Manchester United's worst home defeat since February 1955 as they thrashed the champions in ruthless fashion to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League. City were also the victors on that occasion 56 years ago, winning 5-0, but this visit was portrayed as a measure of their progress against the 19-time champions. And Roberto Mancini's men could not have delivered a more-emphatic statement as Sir Alex Ferguson's side were humiliated. It was the first time United had conceded six goals at Old Trafford since 1930, when Huddersfield won 6-0 and Newcastle 7-4 within four days of each other. After being 1-0 at half-time, the second half turned into a scene of carnage at the so-called "Theatre Of Dreams" and the eventual margin of victory could have been even more convincing. Mario Balotelli, in the headlines for accidentally setting his house ablaze with fireworks, put City on their way with goals either side of the interval as United struggled to contain the array of attacking talent in front of them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/15325536.stm please log in to view this image
I am looking forward to MOTD, i was busting for a piss and thought we cannot score a sixth and missed the last goal, i wont mind seeing them all again.
Same here! What a result! Generally shocking! I predicted you lot would win. But Jesus imagine the odds on 6-1!!
congratulations - something to cherish on a day Chris foy ran riot for the manures.... would seriously prefer us or you winning the title... hope we 2 are there at the end of the season with manure nowhere...
I prefer to look down the table at the sorry lot of teams below us, that and remembering that we're champions.
for a while longer. ps if Chelsea had not had 2 men sent off you would now be looking up at them too . We had a very valid excuse for the 8-2. Whats yours for the 6-1 at home. ? Havent heard one yet .
We were outplayed. Unlike Wenger and the Arsenal fans we don't make excuses. It's great that you can laugh at a side who have humiliated you several times in recent years though.
He can't help himself mate, been battered that many times home and away by the top clubs he needs any little nugget of revenge to cling onto. I hope we put him back in his place Saturday lunchtime...
