Man Utd 1-4 Liverpool. It was man utd who walked the walk and talked the talk that season. City are currently shouting really loud but they are still saying **** all. Its still many trillions of years since they won the league and none of that has changed. Keane has said nothing that Mancini was thinking after the game today. Mancini even looked a little concerned that his team might get a little carried away and lose focus. He clearly wanted to play the scoreline down and focus more on the fact they ahd just won a game of football. Come May if City win the league, then and only then will they of accomplished anything major. Until then...
Yep. This is something we have experienced on a few occasions. Sometimes we lose the battle with our main challenges for the title but more often than not we win the war. Its winning the war that counts.
Yeah because UTD haven't spent a ****load of money ever? Sit the **** down. A seriously depleted Arsenal side I might add. we had 3rd/4th string players in that side and Man Utd fans think it's the greatest victory ever. No, it isn't, as I predicted us losing heavily. Again, sit the **** down.
Arsenal line up at OT: 13 Szczesny 06 Koscielny 20 Djourou 25 Jenkinson 30 Traore 07 Rosicky 14 Walcott 16 Ramsey 23 Arshavin 39 Coquelin 10 Van Persie Seriously depleted? My arse. Jenkinson new and inexperienced - yes. Traore yes not a first team player and largely inexperienced - yes. Coquelin again not a first team player and largely inexperienced - yes. The vast majority of the rest were first team players and internationals. Wise up.
What??? Are you serious, pal? I'd agree with you if it were not for the fact that City have been handing out spankings all season, so far. 1-6 United 4-1 Villa 0-4 Blackburn 3-0 Wigan 1-5 Spurs 4-0 Swansea They are scoring for fun, at the moment, and don't look like they will be stopping any time soon. The 2-2 draw away to Fulham excepted, they haven't even come close to looking like they are going to lose. United, on the other hand, have looked unbalanced and shaky for a couple of seasons. If you really do believe that you are magically going to pull this round, you are a fool, sir!
Another who misses the point!!Please quote where I've said we haven't spent money.Our average spend over the last few seasons has been much inferior to the likes of Man City and Chelsea.I am not some fool who thinks that money will not buy you great players. I think you are the one who needs to "sit the **** down"
Do you really think the Abu Dhabi royal family gives a flying **** about the rivalry between City and Utd? They bought City for a single reason - to big up the profile of Abu Dhabi and Etihad, Etisalat, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, Aabar and all the other companies they have now associated with the City name. They will dump billions into City purely because they believe it will repay itself in additional tourist revenue and investment in Dubai. And it's working - Etihad revenue and passenger numbers alone have jumped by 50% since the City takeover. Jaysus, I can't believe you actually think the Mansours give a **** about the actual football I dunno mate - Abramovich spend £100 million on Chelsea's academies and young player scouting and appointed some of the best staff in the business: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...h-wasted-millions-on-Chelsea-youth-dream.html Right now it's hard to see what City are actually doing differently, other than throwing even more money at the problem. The true test will always be whether academy graduates are preferred over expensive imports when there is only a marginal difference in quality. And City's track record to date isn't great: ditching loyal players like Ireland, SWP and Dunne for Milner, Santa Cruz and Lescott which at the time was not really justified by performances and arguably still isn't in some cases. And right now, for all the money and recruitment City are doing, can you think of many youth team graduates who are threatening to break into the first team?
Perhaps you are right, and it is all nothing more than a very expensive PR exercise for the Arabs. But what better way to catch the eyes of the docile masses than to consign the mighty United to history? I tell you, that is exactly what they intend to do to maximise their exposure.
Chill Winston. Sorry for the board invasion. Just wanted to say tough luck on the weekend. You went a man down and their bench is worth more than some entire clubs, so don't feel too down. (if any of you are?) As for this "power shift" business, if that is the case then I will be bitterly disappointed. YES your club have spent loads on some players over the years, but that has been built up legitimately and for some righ guy to just stroll in and buy the top spot in the PL is truly disheartening. Lord knows I would like to see someone else win it, but not like that. Just ****s on Fergies work after all these years, ****s on other contenders hopes and really takes a huge one on the rest of us who all have future dreams. Well done Mr Shinwantra - Dream destroyer. Hopefully you guys can prove it's not all about cash. For the first time in my life I'm feeling support for you boys, lord knows we're not in a position to dent them.... .... .... yet Genuinely: GOOD LUCK FOR THE SEASON (except against us )
